Peace of Mind{18+}

Two

every loss, every mistake, was seared

into her soul, creating a different kind

of tattoo, one made from rage and

abandonment, heart break and tears

Still 6 Months Earlier

Sabrina POV

Two weeks been by since the bastard died and left me struggling.

Tons of bills are piling up and I'm due of being evicted any day now.

I couldn't even shower this morning because there was no hot water.

I even argued with the landlord for an hour.

I beg her to have mercy on me but she told me if I didn't pay her today, I was going to lose the apartment.

Not to mention I was running three hours late for work which caused me to get fired.

I sat at the park for two hours crying my eyes out.

I finally decided to go home with my last paycheck.

It wasn't enough to cover anything.

I walk to my building to see my stuff outside. I ran up and grab a trash bag full of clothes. I threw important items in there and I sat at the bus station as people pick through my stuff.

Pamela came and open the door.

"Where to Sabrina?"she ask.

"Anywhere."i say as I get on and cry harder.

I don't know what I am going to do next.

*Six Months Later*

I have been homeless for six months and I am barely making it.

It's hard trying to find a job and somewhere to stay.

I walk out of the shelter home I was staying at last night.

I began my search for a job.

I was decent enough to look like someone people would want to hire.

That was the easy part.

The hard part was keeping the job.

I walk up to this soul food restaurant and they had a big now hiring sign on the window.

I open the door and walk in.

I sat at a table and a waitress came up to me with a smile on her face.

"Hi I'm Ryan and I am your waitress for today. Is there anything I can get you?"she says.

"I was looking for the manager. I saw the hiring sign outside and I wanted to see if I can apply."i say and she smiles.

"I'll go get her."she says while walking to the back.
