°Based On A True Story°
"Why did you pull me from school so early?" i ask my father.
"It's just an hour before your school ends. Shut up."
"Dad i had a test."
"You're not smart so you wouldn't pass. Wasn't gonna make any sense. You're basically wasting your mother and i's damn money." he sighed and adjusted his hand on the steering wheel.
I looked down at my fingers in shame.
"Serenity i have a proposal to make to you." he said and i looked up at him. "I'm not marrying you if that's what your dumbass thought."
That's exactly what i thought
"What is it?" i ask. I was hoping he got the job for me seeing that summer was coming up and i wanted to earn extra money.
"I got a job for you." he ask and i smile. "I have about 20 clients that would want you."
"What will i be doing? Is it at walmart or publix?"
"I'll explain it to you when we get to the house. But first i want to disclose this. It's private. Private meaning you will not share this information to your mother nor your brother or sisters. Not even your friends. You should keep this information to yourself. You have only one week left in school and your job starts as soon as i say so. If it's in the case where you tell someone about your job or you slip up and say anything..." he paused.
"What will happen?"
"You will either be locked up, or i will personally kill you and hide your body."
I frowned at him because as far as I'm concerned, this was serious. What type of job could a 15 year old possibly get that's so serious.
He pulled up at our house and we sat in silence for a few minutes until he spoke.
"This is only for the best sweetheart. You're the only person i trust for this job and I'm sure after each client, you will make at least 30 thousand dollars when everything has been deducted. Do you trust me?" he ask and i looked up at him.
"I do."
"Good. Get out of the car." he told me.
I did what he said and he locked up before following me inside. My brother and sisters were at school at this time and my mom was at work so it would be just me and my father. We walked into our suburban home and i sat in the couch. I watch my father locked the door with the locks and set a timer before putting it on the table. What i could see, he set it for 2 hours. Which was approximately the time where my brother and mother will be home. My sister's were in college.
"Sign these." he slid some papers over to me.
"What are they?"
"Contracts for your job."
I wanted to read them over but he yelled at me and rushed me to just sign them and i did. My parents were really strict and serious when it comes to business and us. He was really intimidating and i hated that about him. When i was finish signing them, i sat the pen down and looked at him. It was silent in our home. The only sound that could be heard was of him stamping the signed contracts.
He got up and told me not to move before entering the kitchen where he was having a conversation with someone on the phone. Couple minutes later, he came back and sat in the sofa, gazing at me before speaking.
"You start working on Monday." he said an i smiled. "9 pm."
"Why so late?"
"Don't ask me any fucking questions Serenity."
