Who Am I?Evelyn's POVThe bell above the door rang loudly just as I was about to reach for the last box on the shelf. A young woman walked in, clutching her purse tightly against her chest.“Damn it,” I muttered under my breath. “We're closed, ma'am.”“I know, but please, just a diaper. I realized too late that I didn't have any,” she pleaded. “It's for my baby.”I sucked my teeth and looked at her. I couldn't exactly turn her away when it was for her baby.“Let's get your order, and please hurry up, ma'am. I'm sure you wouldn't want to be on the news tomorrow morning.”And neither would I.I glanced toward the windows. The streets were already dark and nearly empty. Everyone knew it was better to be home before nightfall.Besides, I had my birthday to celebrate.Yeah, my eighteenth birthday was tomorrow.I couldn't help but smile at the thought. I would finally be eighteen, an adult. Maybe I could finally have a boyfriend without my dad losing his mind every time I mentioned a guy.
