Is It Really Worth It?

Chapter 2

"Yes,everything is fine. Why is everyone focusing on my life and my work?" Victoria asked as she started to walk away from her friends.

Before any of her friends could even answer back the bell for period I rang, and when she walked into English class all her friends were sitting around her desk just waiting for her to walk in.

"Hey Victoria, we're really sorry that we made you upset. It's just that we are starting to get nervous that you are always at work and never hangout with us anymore." Mia said as she placed her books on the desk beside Victoria's.

"I'm not mad at you because of what you said, I walked away because I'm stressing about everything at work and then just to be asked if I'm fine with my work sort of pissed me off a little. I wish that I could tell you all what has been happening, but when I first started my bosses told me that I can't talk about what happens at work with others that aren't in the Funeral industry. And even then I really can't talk about what my manager s and I usually talk about if the people that I am working with aren't from the location that I work from." Answered Victoria as she took in a deep breath and sat down at her desk and opened her English notes.

------- Present Time -------

"Congratulations to the class of 2019!" Announced Mr. William the principal of our high school. "Now, the graduates will make their way into the parking lot of the church where all of our guests can congratulate them. And for your graduates, please return your hat and gown. When this is completed you will be given a package with your diploma and some things that you have done when you were in Grade 9."

As the graduates started to walk out of the sanctuary Star Wars' theme song played. We were all laughing and joking with each other, and when we all lined up there were some tears that fell, when the guests started to come around and say congratulations. High school was the best and hardest 4 years of my life. But it was finally over and my life was now starting....or so I thought. Ever since I was little my parents ran my entire life, every decision that I made, every friend that I had. I know that they loved me and when I finally turned 18, they finally let me choose what I wanted to do and totally understood that it is now my life, and if I wanted to do something I could do it. However, when it came to my work it was a totally different story.

Ever since I started there 2 years ago, there has always been this one boss that I have who has been obsessed with me and has tried to choose everything that I do with my life from what I wear, to how I do my makeup and to who I talk to. What makes this even worse is that when I first met him, he took his wedding ring off and acted like he was single and didn't have a wife or children. He would flirt with me every chance that he got, and to be honest I was falling for him. I knew it was wrong because he was a lot older than me...I mean he could basically pass as my father, but it didn't care. I thought that he actually liked me. However, when I found out that he was married and had 2 children I tried so hard to get rid of him and forget everything that has happened between us, but it was to late. I was to far in with this and ever time I tried to talk with him about how wrong it is with what we are doing, he would get mad and make me regret with what I said to him before. He would hurt me by saying he would tell people what we would talk about or that he would unmentionable things to me if I ever went to someone else or tried to tell someone what he was doing. The only thing that I could think about was is it really worth it? Is all of this pain really wroth an internship or even a job? Its hard to fully understand, but the longer I stay at this place, the more I start to forget the real me. And I start to become his little "slave".
