Chapter 7: New Job

It was getting pretty late. But before he left he said something that took me by surprise.

"I'll be depositing the money you lost cause of Laura in your bank account."

"You don't have to, it's not your fault-"

"Please, don't be stubborn and just tell me."

"Fine." I gave him my account number. I did needed the money.

"I'll miss our Late night talks by the Apple tree." He smiled.

I smiled back and said, "you're welcome to come here and talk, I'll even have coffee"

"I'm in. Expect me tomorrow." He grinned.

I chuckled. "I will."

"It's pretty late, I'll see you tomorrow. Bye, Harmony." He said before leaving.

"Bye."

"You like him, don't you?" Dad said.

"He's a nice guy. I enjoy talking to him." I Replied.

"Just be careful, okay?" He said before going inside. I know he has a girlfriend and will never see me as anything else. I was fine with us being friends. Besides who says I like him in that way.

I went to my room and change to pj's. As soon as my head touched the pillow I was out. Tomorrow is a new day, and after school I need to search for a new job.

.......

I was in a beautiful sleep when a little person started to shake me. "wake up sissy."

"No, I want to sleep more. I'm very tired." I said while hugging her. She just giggled.

I honestly didn't feel like going to school today. I just wanted to rest and look for a job later. I woke up two hours later, I did my daily routine then went to the kitchen to make something. Emma isn't attending kindergarten anymore since she got weaker. Dad leaves her with aunt Cheryl. His sister.

After breakfast I made my way out and started to look for a job. So far no luck. I went for a walk on the park to clear my mind. I needed coffee, I went to this amazing bakery to get it and get something sweet since I needed my daily sugar. Minutes later the waitress came with my order. After I was done with everything I decided to ask if they were hiring.

"You're in luck, our previous waiter quit, so the position is yours. You can start next week from 2 pm till 7 pm." She said and I nodded.

I went to pick up Emma from Aunt Cheryl's house. We took the bus and went straight home. I called dad to let him know I had a job.

"How are you feeling, munchkin?"

"A little tired, but I'll be okay." She gave me a faint smile.

"You will be, baby sis." I hugged her.

A week went by and today was my first day at my new job, and that also included a surprise. I went over to a table and there she was, I wanted to hit her with a frypan.

"Can we get two cup of coffees and a chocolate cake." She asked politely. Okay that was very weird. As I went to get their order I was stopped.

"Dare I ask why you're being polite?" I asked her royal pain in the ass, Victoria.

"She's a friend and she-"

"She doesn't know that she's actually dating a spoiled brat who treats people bad cause they're from different social status?"

"How-"

I cut her again. "It's not hard to tell, but I suggest to not keep her a secret, nobody likes to be a secret. You might lose her." I said before leaving.

Once I had their orders ready, I took it to their table. As I was going to another table, I bumped into someone. "sorry." I said.

"That's alright, I see you found a job, good for you, Harmony." Shawn said before going to the table I was heading to.

"Cutie pie, you came." She said excited.

"Of course I did." He smiled. I guess Laura was old news. I took their orders and went to get it. A few minutes later I returned with them.

I couldn't wait for this day to be over. Minutes later Laura walked in the bakery. Just great.

I went to take her order and she had this evil grin plastered on her face. I returned with her order and she made everything crash on the floor. Everyone's eyes were on us.

"I need a manager!" She yelled. He came out and Laura started to tell him that I made everything crash and that I slapped her.

"That's not true."

"Well, looks like it is true, so you're fired." He said.

"You can't-" I said but he cut me by grabbing my arm really hard. That was all it took and a few seconds he was on the floor. I turned to see Shawn there looking not too happy.

"What's going on here?" The owner asked. I told her what really happened. She even checked the security tapes, she ended up firing the manager.

"The next time you lay your hands on her, I'll be sending you to the hospital." Shawn said angry. The manager left.

"And you're banned from this place." The owner said to Laura. She stormed out. At least I didn't lose my job.

My shift was over and I went straight home. All day I've had a bad feeling. I thought it was just cause of the drama at work, but no, that wasn't why.
