Monae's POV

I'm overwhelmed with so much rage, I breathed in and out to get the toxic emotion out of me. These two ladies not only have been a pain in the ass all the time I worked here but they also masterminded everything so I can get fired just for what? Tips that aren't worth millions? Some people really don't have aims in life, geez they're so pathetic doing their victory twerk.  "Are you two this aimless and pathetic?"

They snapped their heads in my direction, "what are you still doing here?" Marilyn demanded like she's the boss of us.

"Act your wage Mary, you're a common waitress like I used to be not an hour ago. I pity you both, getting me sacked just for the tips I get. Here I thought you two were sensible." I shook my head at them. They glared at me but I could care less, "enjoy the little tips and the free stds here and for what y'all did, karma will be serving y'all pretty soon."

I gave them one last look and walked away. Sashaying to infuriate them the more and show them, they've gotten me fired yes but they've not gotten rid of me from this earth. I've fallen now, it's not the end if the world. I'll surely rise back to greater heights than I was before.

That's the spirit girl! I looked through my locker and changed into my normal clothes, straddling my bag, I walked out of the staff room and out of the restaurant.

Now that I was alone on the street, the memories of what transpired in Mr Sheldon's office came flooding in with full force. I broke down on the street sobbing, wiping my body as if it could get the stains of his dirty hands on mine off me. Why does this life have to be so unfair. I literally slaved myself to the waitressing job, bringing in more customers with my smile they ogle over. And this is what I get rape? And no salary for my previous shift?

How will I pay my rent now? I can pay my overdue but why about this month? And about that, I need to go home and have a talk with Daisy about it. I took the bus which stopped right in front of my apartment, getting out, I paid the fare and walked to the front porch.

My not so attractive belongings were scattered on the floor. What is happening here?  The door opened, revealing a worried Daisy. "Dee whats happening here?"

"I'm so sorry Monae, the landlord came here this afternoon and demanded for the overdue three months rent. She ranted on and on about how she's been lenient enough, you know how business isn't great lately. I couldn't pay your part and she personally took you stuffs out dumping them here."

OMG, can this day get any worse. I've been lied upon and fired from my job and now the only place I can lay my head and search for another work has been taken away from me too. "Can I stay for the night and find somewhere else tomorrow?"

She shook her head sadly and pointed towards the other end, "she's in that building over there keeping watch till you come. I can't risk that and I suggest you leave from here before she comes please Monae." Daisy pleaded with me, I know how much of an evil person our landlord can be, she can even throw Dee out for helping me and I dont want that for her just for saving my pitiful ass.

I nodded my head and looked up at the sky. God. Why all this Lord? Why I'm I going through so much at this young age of 20? Is it that I'm so sinful or I wasn't born lucky like others? I sighed and packed my stuffs into my single suitcase, waving sadly at Daisy and left.

It's already 9:40pm and I'm all alone in this dangerous neighborhood, wandering aimlessly.  I never thought this day will end like this when I woke up from bed this morning. The hope and calmness in my heart since I woke up is all gone. Now my heart is filled with sorrow, disappointment and resentment towards this life we're all living.
