Marcy's POV

"Marcy I'm  really  sorry  but I have  to fire you. The complaints  I've  been  having  about  you  are too many." my boss said. Great  I thought sarcastically  ."With all due respect  sir this is very  dumb.you can't  fire me because  I was defending  myself. "I said. My boss raised a questioning  eyebrow at me and said "When  you  poured wine on a customer  you  were defending  yourself. When  you  punched  a customer  you  were defending  yourself ." That was obviously  what  I was doing  but I guess  he couldn't  realise  self defence even  if  it smacked him in the  face."Clearly  that's  what  I  was  doing "I answered  him .He must  not  have  liked  my answer because  he shoved my pay cheque  at me  and ordered  me  out of the  building. I climbed  into  my truck and  drove  to the  apartment  I shared  with my  brother  .when I  reached  the  apartment  there  was  an  eviction  note.I muttered  a few curse words before  heading  to the  landlords  apartment. "Are you  kidding  me."I shouted  as I entered  his house. "I paid  the  rent for  the  whole  year  and you  are kicking  us out."I continued  shouting at  him."Calm down  Marcy. Don't  be dramatic. If you  really  want  to  stay  there's  one  thing  you  have  to do and you can stay  for  free  for  as long  as  you  want "he said. I was about  to  ask what  that  was but his beady  greedy looking  eyes and wolfish  look  told  me what  it was.I shook  my head  and  said "There is  no  way  in hell I'm  sleeping  with  you  greedy  little  pig.""Why not  you  bring  men  twice  your  age  to the  apartment ?"he asked. "Yeah I do but  who said  I slept  with  them?"I asked  him  .He looked  speechless  at  me obviously  wondering  what  I did to those  men  for  them to always  come  out  of  my  apartment  smiling .I was about  to  walk  away  when  he suddenly  grabbed  my hand.he looked at menacingly and I rolled my  eyes"  let me go before  I  do something  we will  both  regret "I threatened. Instead  of letting  go he tightened  his grip.With  my  free hand I punched  him until   he let me  go and  until  he became  unconscious. I rushed went upstairs  and packed  my bags and Cooper's .After  that  I put the  bags in the  truck and went to pick Cooper  up. I barged  into the  classroom  and the teacher  looked at  me annoyed  before  saying "Marcy  you can't  just  barge in to the  class like  that . "I ignored   her and went  straight  to  my  brother "We are  moving  Coop."I  said. He stood  up  and slung his  bag on his shoulder. "I was just  getting  to love  it here "Cooper  said winking  at a girl  who  was  gawking  at him.We went to the  car and I started  driving . "So where are we  going "Cooper asked ."Wherever you  wanna  go "I answered  .Halfway to Arizona which is  where  Cooper wanted  to  go I got  tired and we swapped  .When  I  woke  up  we were outside this building that  looked like  a  church .I looked  at  Cooper  wondering  what  he was  up to  now. He  must  have  registered  my  look  "we are here to  see this  priest  I heard  he helps people  you  know  get  into  less  trouble  so all you  have  to do is to  go  in there  and  talk  to  him. "He said  answering  my look  .I would  have  protested but it would  have  been  of no use so I went  in the  church  and went  in the  small  cubicle  where  people  confessed  their  sins to the  priest. "Hey there  priest  father  or  whatever  you  are  called  my little  brother  forced me  to  talk  to  you and  I  don't  really  want  to  spill my heart  out  to  a stranger  so  I'm  just  going  to  tell  you the   basics I dated married  men I used  to  be  into women. I pickpocket sometimes  when  I  don't  get  a job. I used  to  be  kleptomanic  and  I've  done  a  lot  of  terrible  stuff" I said. "Have  you  prayed about  it? "He asked  ."Yes of course  I  did "I lied slightly. I had prayed about  it but not as much  as  I  should  have. "OK. Have  you  gone  to  a psychologist to  deal  with  your  kleptomania. " "No "I  answered. He slightly  opened  the  wooden  thing  that separated us and gave me  a  card. I looked  at the  card  which  was written
Henry Won ho
Child Psychologist

His number  was written  somewhere  at the  back."If you  need  anything  don't  hesitate  to  call  the  number  at the  back I'm  always  happy  to  help people. " he said .Anything  I thought. I did need  a place  to  stay and  a  job. Since  he was  offering  to  help  I decided  to  take  advantage  of  the  situation. "Well my brother  and  I  need  a place  to  stay  do you  think  you  can  help  me  with  finding  an apartment  here I'm  kind of  new in this  area. "I said  trying  my luck. "I don't  know  any apartments  but  the  cottage  at my  house  is  free  you  can  stay there  if you  want. ""Thank  you  sir."I said. He gave  me  the  directions  to  the  house  and I went  to  the  car."so how did  it  go? " Cooper  asked  as I  got  into  the car ."it was OK I got  us a place  to  stay "I  told  him  and gave  him  the  directions .Soon we were  packing  our  things  and setting  down  in the  cottage
