I had sat on that wall all night, my eyes were bloodshot red and my mind was gone. The only thing I had to my name was my rainy day money & my iPhone. I was stressed, this was not a normal life for a 17 year old.

Finally, I decided to get up and take a shower. As I walked into the bathroom I realized I didn't have any clothes to wear for bed, or any at all for that matter. Looking at the time it was 4:25 in the morning, I was contemplating on knocking on August's room door from the bathroom. As I put my hand up the door swung open, startled I backed up some. "Girl, what the fuck you doing up?" He looked at me before going to the toilet to piss. Quickly turning around, I answered him. "I um... I was fired from my job and I was just up thinking about where I go from here when I decided to take a shower. But I realized I don't have any clothes, so I came to the conclusion to ask you for some until I could go to the store." I blurted out all at once in a hushed tone.

"Oh, I guess I got some clothes that ion wear no mo. Just go in there look in my dresser, last drawer to the left." Following his directions I looked in the drawer and found some boxer briefs and a t shirt. I walked back into the bathroom and thanked him for everything.

"It's no pralem shorty, just keep my shit straight." With that being said he walked out of the bathroom. I mentally rolled my eyes, I guess this was my new roommate and I would have to get used to him being hella rude and annoying.

Adjusting the temperature of the shower just right I stepped in. The water relaxed me, it was soothing. I had been through a lot and quite frankly this water was like weed. Looking around I noticed there was nothing but men's soap, it would work for tonight!
