The Hierarchy

Y/n POV

The sun had risen on that beautiful Sunday morning. As the daughter of a farmer, your requirements every morning were to attend to the farm before having any concern about you social/personal life. In your attempt to please your father, (one of the few farmers in the town who kept a very discrete profile) you did as you were told. Your family was not always in the best finacial state but after your mom died, you and your father needed to work extra hard to put food on the table. You always dreamed of having a better life and hoped that someday things would change, but in all, a dream is just a dream. You constantly reminded yourself of your goal, which was to help your father successfully grow his business.

So, you began your chores, you milked the cow, collected eggs from the chickens, fed the horses and the rest of the other animal and anything else that was required of you. After everything was done, you went inside to prepare breakfast.

Dad- "You're back already?"

You nodded as you showed him everything you had collected in the farm today.

Dad- " What would i do without you."

You smiled as you turned around to began making breakfast. Moments later, you finished preparing the meal and placed it on the table. Your father stared at the food as he shifted his tounge indicating that he was hungry.

Dad- " Shall we pray? "

You nodded your head indicating yes before you and your father began your prayer. While praying, you could tell by your fathers' tone of voice that there was something bothering him, but you did not question his actions. During the course of time, you noticed that your father was acting strange. He would occasionally look at you and look down when you reciprocated the action.You waited no long, you decided to confront him.

Y/n - "Father, is everything alright?"

He sighed as he looked at you, his eyes glistened as he began to speak.

Dad- "Y/n I-I need to tell you something."

Y/n - "What is it?" You said in a nervous voice.

Dad- "I'm in debt y/n, and i'm not sure you working for me will be enough to pay off all the debt that i'm in."

Y/n - "So what are you saying ?"

Dad- "I'm not sure I- "

Y/n- "Don't worry father, i'll get another job to help you."

Dad- "Y/n that wouldn't be necessary."

Y/n- "So where will you find the money to pay off your debt ? "

Dad- I-i'm not sure

Y/n - Well it's settled then, I'll look for another job.

You stood up confidently and headed towards the kitchen to begin the dishes. You barely gave your father a chance to respond to what you had just said.

After breakfast you packed your stuff and headed to town. You were quite confident in your attempt to find a job, not bearing in mind that you never had a job before.
