A Christmas Wish Come True

Chapter Six

Britney's POV:

Good. I haven't seen that little blind bat here for awhile, just her stupid Amy friend.

It's been a week since I've seen her. Hopefully she'll get into a nursing home then never come out.

I giggle quietly to that thought. 'yeah that sounds amazing!' i thought to myself as i smile.

"Britney Mcaffrey, meet me in my office, now."

My smile immedtly fades and i look over seeing my boss standing outside the doorway of her office.

I nod then walk into her office as she shuts the door behind her.

"Sit." She ordered.

I very hesatently obeyed and sat down in the chair in front of her desk.

She sat down in her chair then folded her fingers together and rested them on the table looking at me. "Do you know what happened a few days ago when Amelia tripped? I feel like you did something."

I let out a loud dramatic gasp, and made tears fill my eyes."how could you believe that girl?! I was only giving a couple their dinner then going back into the kitchen! I had no part of this!"

She nods, putting her hand down asking me to be quiet.

I wipe away the fake tears then nod, looking down slightly. "sorry."

"It's okay dear, I'm sorry I thought it was you who did it."

I nod, starring at a desktoy of hers.

"You may leave now if you'd like." She says and I nod and stand up then walk out. When I shut the door behind me, i grit my teeth. ' that stupid brat!' i thought as I went back to work. 'she's not gonna get her way!' i scream in my head as i grab a platter of food and a couple drinks giving it to a customer.

Later on that day:

I walk out of the restaurant and go over to Ashley's car gritting my teeth and when j get in the passengers seat, i slam the door.

She whistles. "Sounds like you had a terrific day at work."

I just glare at her slightly while putting on my seatbelt, knowing she's being sarcastic. "That stupid blind girl ain't gonna get her way. Boss almost got on my tracks."

She nods then pulls out of the parking lot.

"So why exactly are you so mad?" She wonders outloud as she's driving me home.

"Because I almost got fired because the boss probably saw me trip her!" I exclaim, crossing my arms.

She nods. "Okay, well, try not to worry about it, she'll probably forget about it then move on. Plus it's not like that girl was doing much good to anyone anyway."

I smile and nod. "Okay, thanks Ashley." I say as i get out of her car then shut the door.

"No problem!" She screams out her window as she drives away.

I walk inside, happy that I don't have to see that jerk Amelia ever again.

Maria's POV:

It's been about a week since I've seen that girl.

I've been thinking about her a lot and want to know her name. She never told me her name though. I keep looking on the sidewalks to see if i can find her, maybe I should go to her house, hopefully she won't think I'm a stalker.....

After work i quickly go home i see Josh hanging out with his friends as they watch a movie. The house is a mess.

I held in a yell. I'm getting real tired of his crap.

I just ignore him while his friends whistle looking at me as Josh yells. *Hey! Eyes off of her! I'm already owning her!"

I just go upstairs and change into some jeans and a green t-shirt and quickly go downstairs and put on my coat and leave with my things.

I drive to the girls' house then knock on her door, really nervous.

After a minute the girl i saw about a week ago opens the door confused. "hello? Who's there? I can't really see you so you have to tell me who you are."

I smile. "hi, I'm Maria, the one who dropped you off last week."

She looks at me for a moment and nods."hi Maria, come in" and she opens the door for me and i walk inside.

*So what's your name?" I ask as i look at the fishtank.

"My name's Amelia."

I thought for a moment then smile. "Pretty name."

She shrugs slightly. I like her. She doesn't really care about compliments that much. I like that.

"So what made you come here?" She asks, pouring a cup of hot chocolate in two mugs. I can tell by the way her hands are moving on every button she's counting them. She probably memorized all of them to know which ones which and where everything is.

"Well,.i just um, wanted to make sure you were okay and just wanted to see how you were doing."

She nods then comes over with some hot chocolate and passes me a cup then sits in a chair then gestures saying silently that I can sit.

I sit down across from her then take a small sip of the hot chocolate. She has amazing hot chocolate.

I close my eyes and hummed. "mmmmmm.....that's good."

She laughs the smallest bit then sips her hot chocolate."it isn't the greatest, it's just Coco power and hot water with marshmallows."

I nod sipping it again. "Well, it's still good."

She nods.

"Hey, have you gotten another job-?"

I knew that was a touchy subject because tears fill her eyes and she drops her hot chocolate on the ground, her mug shattering and the hot chocolate spilling onto the floor.

My eyes widen."are you okay?!" I jump up and then grab some paper towel then help her clean it up. She says nothing.

I finish helping her clean up the mess then i look at her trembling hands. "Hey what's wrong?"

She looks over at me. I can tell she's trying to see my features and trying to see if she can trust me.

I gently grab her hand then hold it with both of my hands. "Please, i know you might not trust me yet since I'm like a stranger and all, but, if something's bothering you, you can tell me."

She nods slightly and i can feel her hands trembling. "I-i need to go to collage, if i don't have this small job I have now then I-i won't be able to go to collage and i need to go to collage in order to get a better job and get a good amount of money, if i don't, then I'll have to live in a nursing home and be stuck there forever."
