BADGIRL'S GOOD GIRL

CHAPTER 4

 ROXY 

 I am finally here and now I need to get a freaking job because my alcoholic dad can't get a job for s**t and my stepmom is too busy f*****g my boyfriend. They think I don't know but I do and I also don't care because they are all just pieces of s**t and I just have to get a job and save up all the money I can so that I can get a f*****g lawyer and get emancipation papers and also put myself through college.

I stop my bike when I see a café because I want a coffee right now. I walk in and look around, the place seems really cozy and the color scheme is really great and matches the feeling very well. I order my coffee and read the newspaper to find some jobs if possible. I am also trying to apply for internships at some psychological centers. 

"here is your coffee mademoiselle"

"Thank you sir"

"are you okay? I can see that you are frowning so tell me if you want because  at times it is better to tell strangers about shitty things that are happening to you because they have no bias."

"well I need to get a job to save money and put myself through college"

"well then you have no problem because there is a job here open and if you want then--"

"yes sure. What is the job?"

"you would have to work at the register and also waitress. You will have others to help you if you need it."

"Thank you"

"no need. What's your name?"

"oh I am sorry sir, my name is Roxy."

"Great name. My name is Patrick and I am the owner. Do you think you can do that?? if you can then the job is yours."

"yes sir. Thank you sir for the job"

"no need. You are the same age as my nieces and I think that you are capable of doing this job"

"Also if you wanna apply for a great college which can offer scholarships then try applying for my nieces' college. I will ask her to talk to you okay?"

"Thank you sir for helping me."

"no problem child. I think you are new here and I want to help."

"Yes sir. My mother was born here but this is the first time I have visited this place."

"Where is she then?? Maybe I know her"

"Oh she died when I was two."

"Oh child I am so sorry"

"Where are you staying?? Don't tell me at a motel."

"No sir. I have a place to stay"

He didn't look too convinced by my horrible lie but he has already helped me so much and I don't wanna seem like a burden.

"okay but if you ever want then tell me. We have a guest room which is pretty much at service any time you want and also my wife would appreciate the company."

"Thank you so much for the offer sir"

"you don't have to call me sir , you can call me uncle or Patty"

"Thank you Patty" 

"no problem"

I finish up my coffee and I search up some internships and a lot of them are a little far from my house but that is fine with me. This day is going better than expected.
