Here I am carrying a tray of shots to a table of drunk men again.

If you haven't guessed already I am a waitress at a restaurant in New Jersey.

It's only 7.53pm and people are already drunk.

I make my way back behind the counter.

"What climbed up your ass?"

Rafael asks.

I look at him and give him an 'are you seriously asking me that' look.

"This place"

I say waving my arms about.

Me and Rafael are cousins so we've known each other since I first stepped foot on the ground.

You would think we are siblings because of how close we are.

My shift ends at 1.45am.

"Mila, table 4 is waiting"

I walk over to table four.
I see a young girl my age sitting there.

mascara running down her face.

"Hi what can I get you?"

I ask in the nicest way possible.

"Can I just get alcohol please"

She says. I nod my head and walk away.

"Alcohol please"

I say holding my hand out.

Rafael passes me a bottle
And I start making my way over to the girl.

I give her the alcohol and sit down in front of her.

She looks at me and starts crying.

"Hey what's wrong?"

I ask her softly.

She looks at me and wipes her eyes.

"One second"

I say

I walk over to the counter and grab wipes.

I go back to the table and sit in my previous spot.

"Here"

I say as I hand her the wipes.

She smiles and starts wiping the mascara of her face.

"What's your name?"

She asks me.

"It's Mila, what's you'rs?"

I ask

"Laya"

She responds.

"So can you tell me why your crying?"

I ask in a soft voice.

She takes a deep breath then starts talking.

"So turns out my best friend was hooking up with my boyfriend and didn't tell me. And the rest of my friends were fake and decided to never talk to me ever again. I moved in with my boyfriend a year ago and he decided to kick me out. Didn't even give me any money. So now I'm on the streets."

She says with teary eyes.

I go over and sit next to her.

I give her a hug while she cries on my shoulder.

"Come with me"

I say taking her hand and leading it up to the counter.

I pull out a seat and let her sit down.
