Broken

It's Saturday and I am so happy. School has worn me out so much. Harry has not talked to me since my last encounter with him. He was the first the guy that actually would talk to me other than Niall. It was nice to have someone to talk to other than my mom or Oreo.

Currently, I am sitting at the breakfast table with my mom scrolling through a list of jobs with my mom.

"What about this one." My mom says pointing at my computer screen.

“Its for a bakery. It pays ok, Its an option.” I say closing my laptop.

“I don’t want you to feel like you have to get a job. It would help a lot around the house, but if you don’t want to I understand.”

“No mom I want to do this. I want to help pay for college.” I say grabbing a cup coffee.

My mom gives me a reassuring smile.

“So what are you going to do today?” My mom asks.

To be honest I’m not the type of teenager to go out with friends every weekend. I mostly just stay at home and watch netflix movies.

“I don’t know mom I might go check out the bakery though.”
“Thats good. I have to go grocery shopping anything specific?”

“Maybe a life, and some chocolate.” I say sarcastically.

My mom rolls her eyes at me.

“How about a boyfriend.” My mom teases grabbing her red coat.

“You should be happy I don’t have a boyfriend. Half of our school's population is getting knocked up anyways.” I say sipping on my coffee.

“I Trust you not to make all the same mistakes I did, or anyone else for that matter. You're a good kid.” My mom says kissing me on the cheek.

“Did you ever regret it?” I ask putting down my mug.

“Regret what?”

“Marrying Dad at sixteen?”

My mom does not answer. I know feel bad for even asking that because I can’t tell it hit a nerve and she is holding back tears.

“Mom I’m so sorry,” I instantly apologize. I didn't mean to bring that up you don't have to answer.”

“No it ok,” My reassures me.” No I don’t regret it because if I did not do it I don’t think I would be strong like I’m know.” She says wiping her watering eyes.

I don’t know how to reply so I just nod.

“Well I got to go so, don’t get into trouble or anything.”

“Mom it’s me you're talking too.”
My mom laughs.

“Ok don't study too hard or whatever you do on a Saturday.” My mom says leaving.

My mom is right I should go out more. It’s not that I don’t want to go out I just do like going out. I hate going out in public, it makes me feel so vulnerable. Ok well for thing on my list is to check out this bakery. I have no idea what it is about. All I know is that its at the mall and apparently they have amazing cake.

I did not really bother to do much with my appearance. I wore a floral long sleeve button up with some jeans.

I decided to take my car to the mall because it’s winter and I hate walking or any form of exercise for that matter.

---------------------------

Kilwins, that is name the name of the bakery.

I hope there open because I did not check their times. All I know is that they are in the mall.

I was walking pretty fast to the bakery. I don’t know if it was just because I was nervous. My stomach is in a twist.

"Hi can I help you,” A middle aged man with stubble says.

“Yeah I heard you guys had an opening for a cashier.”
“Oh I’m sorry ma'am position has already been taken,” The man walks away from the counter and I can’t help but open my mouth in shock.

“Taken!” I yell franticly. “What do you mean taken.” The man makes an annoying huffing sound before responding.

“That position has already been filled.”

“Well is there any other position?’ I fiddle with my fingers frantically.

“Nope sorry.”

“Please I wi-” My sentence was cut short.

“Ma’am if your not here to buy anything, then you have to leave.” I can tell the man was trying to be kind but I could tell he was really annoyed.

“Ok...erm, thank you anyway.” I respond.

This is one of the very moments where I hate my life. I need a job. I need to help pay for college.

I take out my phone and start scrolling through more job listings. At this point I’m desperate and I will take anything.

I stop scrolling when I see another job listing five minutes away from my house.

The Metromix bar.

This job was looking for a bartender. Making alcoholic drinks is not exactly my forte but right Now I really need a job.
