The Alliance That Turned Her World

It was starting to get dark as I reached the doorstep of the house, right in front of it lay piles of envelopes. I knew what they were without picking it up at first, my chest started beating like it was shot with an arrow. I picked them up, entered the house and went straight into my room. I knew mom would be asleep because she's always asleep by this time so I didn't bother opening her room so as to not disturb her.I just got back from yet another failed job hunt, every time it's either they are not looking for new staff or my qualifications don't meet the requirements. What have I done to deserve this from the universe, is this how my life is meant to be. My thoughts were spiralling, I guess that's what I get for being an overthinker. I picked up one of the papers that was sitting on my bed and stared at the big red letters stamped across it. Final Notice. My chest felt heavy. If I didn’t pay soon, they would cut us off. No light, no water, and worse, no way to keep mum'

We got to the counter after some minutes, Mia turned abruptly, face palmed herself and said “ohh sorry I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Mia, I'm 20.I started working here as a waitress five months ago, nice to meet you.” She looked like a bundle of joy, smiling and shining her teeth like someone who didn't have any life problems and is filled with happiness. I would admit I was a little jealous, wishing I was in her shoes.She kept on rambling about other things but I had zoned out already, a bad habit of mine which I can't seem to control. It's like I enter into this multi-space universe with my mind and stop paying attention to my surroundings.I think she finally noticed wasn't paying attention because she snapped her fingers in front of me saying “hello… back to earth Aliana” I snapped out of it immediately and apologized, then she explained the basics, how to serve , take orders correctly and the likes. I paid attention because I didn't want Lisa on my ass but th

Why was the ride taking forever? We sat in silence, the silence was starting to pick at my skin. I was getting bored and looked at him through my side eye,with all the chaos I hadn't gotten a good look at him, from his fingers gripping the wheel tightly, going up to his arms, his veins literally bulging out making me gulp. I finally got to his face and ohh sweet Jesus I guess Mia was right when she said he looked like a Greek god. I would never say that to him though, his ego seems big enough already, I continued staring at his features, sharp jawline, subtle beard, sexy hair cut and good looking lips “Ariana please tell me you're not fawning over him, girl stop” my inner self thought. I think he caught me staring because he cleared his throat “done staring, would you like a picture” he said with a non chalant tone.I turned my head back with a whiplash, my cheeks turning hot “I wasn't staring” I said looking anywhere else apart from him .“Hmm mmm” he hummed sarcastically He d

‘’Phew’’ I cleaned the beads of sweat that had started to form on my forehead as I sat on my bed. The medics left with mom not too long ago, I wasn’t able to go with her due to you know who, I told mum I would come to visit her as soon as possible and she would be in great hands. I had just finished packing my things, there wasn’t much to pack anyways, I didn’t have the luxury of having fancy clothes or things. I looked round the room and it looked empty like a living void, the only sign of life were the posters of Billie Eilish that are hung on the wall beside my bed. Gosh I love her soo much, there is just something about her songs that resonates with my being, like she’s the only one that gets me. I didn’t want my so called boss coming to my room so I stood up, carried my two duffle bags, looked at my room one last time and left. Everyone else had gone and I could see a very impatient Ares tapping his feet and looking at the time, he seemed to notice my arrival as I walked to

Five minutes later I finally decided to get up from my bed and check out the bathroom. It was bright and shiny with silver taps and a wide white floor. There's a mirror on the wall in front of the sink, the toilet was also in a corner and the best part was the bathtub, I've never been in one before. I went closer to it and touched it to see if it was real and it really was. This would be so perfect for a long warm bath after a long day, I could feel my body already reacting to how good it would be. I went out of the bathroom and opened the closet door, ohh my goodness this is a freaking walk in closet, it's not too big but it's half the size of my former room. I walked into it and put my hands on the shelves. They were neat with hangers, there was a shoe rack and even a tiny bench where I could sit to pick out clothes. The only problem with all these is that my things don't sum up to thirty percent of this closet. I guess that has to change a bit when I get my first paycheck. I got o
