A week, a whole fudging week of me wondering in the streets of New York trying to find some place to go, my phone Is broken, No one to call or ask for help.

Growing up I didn't have much friends, always staying home, helping, cleaning, things a 13 year shouldn't do. But I'm not complaining I learnt from my past, I trusted people I shouldn't have trusted, no uncles or aunts, no grandparents, I was alone, and for the first time ever since the day I found that my dad died I felt alone, completely alone and hopeless. But I'm not giving up.

Two days ago, I applied for this job at this 7/11, not having a phone to know wether I got the job or not I would walk there every morning to see if they decided to take me, and sadly this morning I got the great news that they found someone more "eligible" for the job.

So here I am at 3pm roaming around the streets looking for a job. Anything that could get me money so I can find a place to stay at.

Slowly loosing all hope, No one's gonna want to hire me, with no diploma. I wasn't good enough, not even for waitressing.

While deep in thought, the smell of fresh baked goods brought me back to reality, looking to my right I saw the most adorable but worn out little bakery shop, looking up to see the name "nana's cakes"

Without second thoughts I went in, and I was welcomed with a warm smile from an old lady.

"Hi sweety, can I help you" she said while arranging the freshly baked croissants

"Hi, mam, I'm looking for a job" I said fidgeting with my fingers hoping that for once luck would be on my side.

"Oh I'm so sorry sweety but there's nothing you could really do here, we barely get any customers."

"Please, I've been walking around for weeks trying to find a job I have no where to go, I would do anything, I would watch the dishes, turn the oven on, clean, help you bake anything, please you're my only hope" I said literally not caring about the little dignity I had left

"Oh my poor child, I don't know what to say, I don't know what you could do here, I'm sorry" she said with remorse

"Oh, it's okay I get it, I'm sorry for bothering you, have a good day" disappointed I turned around about to leave, when I heard her speak again

"I'm not finish dear, I would love to hire you but, the shop isn't working anymore, but I know this good friend of mine who was looking for help, at his restaurant, and about your living conditions, I'm more than happy to help you out with that too, just give me a second to make a few calls okay?" She said with a smile, hurrying to the back of the shop

I couldn't believe it, I might get a job and place to stay at, no more sleeping on the streets, and shelters, I'm finally gonna have a bed and a job, and I couldn't be happier.

"Dear, I called my friend, and his more than happy to hire you, he owns the Italian restaurant two blocks away from here, it's the guliano, you'll be able to recognize it when you see it" she said with a big smile on her face.

"I'm really thankful for everything that you've done, thank you very much, and I really don't know how I'm going to repay you" I said feeling tears of joy escaping my eyes.

"It's okay dear, even thought we've just met, you remind me of my daughter, and no girl should be put in the streets whatever they've done in life, and just by seeing you I know you haven't done anything bad, you were just not lucky" sadness filled her voice

Not knowing what to say to that I just nodded and looked down, ashamed with the way my life turned out.

"Dear, no need to feel ashamed-" she said as if reading my mind"- just make sure to no give up, that whatver life throws at you, don't let it bring you down, now shoo, I got some cookies to take out of the oven"

"Thank you, ill be sure to keep that in mind" I said chuckling, took my bad and turned around

"Good luck miss....?"

"Auriella, but you can call me Ella" I said smiling

"Good luck miss Ella" she said waving while I made my way to the door

With one last glance and smile, I left the bakery shop with a big smile, felling as if nothing is stopping me. But being all full of myself, I realized it was pouring rain,

I cursed

"Fudge, what is wrong with my luck" I said running to the restaurant "guliano"

Running to the only thing that's gonna help me.

But then something hit me, she didn't say where I would be staying tonight, okay maybe I'm being too needy.

Never minding my thought, I just kept on walking, till I came face to face, with a really fancy restaurant

" I don't think this is it-" I said doubting someone would hire me here, she probably pranked me"- nope this is" I said reading the big golden letters "GULIANO"

Well... can't go back now, what else do I have to lose, literally nothing chuckling at my thought which got some people looking at me weirdly.

I took and deep breath and walked in.

"Well here goes nothing"
