Placing my money in an emetope for safe beeping, I smile at what and walked away from the bar with last night
Vincent as promised had rewarded me genermany on top of

In total, with tips and all, I had managed to bring in close to $1,000 this week alone which was more than enough to come nest month’s rent which was the main roterani
Continuing this way, I would be able to save up and find a better place to live somewhere else in from somewhere I wouldn’t ha

Somewhere with better neighbours and decent furniture!
By the end of last night, Vincent had seemed pleased with how things had went with the men he was speaking to, as
and remained quiet listening to him rabble since I was tired and just wanted to head home.
Daryl had given me back my apartment keys and backpack that I had left in his car and after that, I asked him to gr space to think over everything he had said,
It made no sense, why Vincent would lie and tell him we already kissed when we hadn’t… well not by that point of the night
I also didn’t think that Daryl’s kiss with that girl was totally innocent either, not when they had a history together.
1 grumble, placing the money filled envelope back in to the kitchen drawer.
It was Sunday today, and I had no plans which made me sigh.
I wondered if I would be able to find Emma’s place on my own with remembering her address from when she had told Vincent it yesterday.
I wasn’t sure how I would manage to walk there though, unless I could ask a local to guide me on what bus I could hop on to take
me closer?
Deciding to try my luck, I take twenty five dollars out with me along with some change for the bus, locking up my apartment and skipping my way down the stairs..
Thankfully it was dry again today, despite that it was still pretty cold after the storm.
“Neighbour baby! Join us!” One of the drunks splutter out towards me, highly intoxicated as his friend was seated on the – shooting up a needle into his arm.
I cursed myself mentally for forgetting about the pair of them, usually remembering to check out the window before going front door of the building.

No thanks…” I respond quietly, trying to snake my way past them, before he has the audacity to reach out to grab a hold of my bicep

I glance in hortor at his hand, seeing his dirty finger nails digging into me,
Why did a little snob like you even move into our place?!” He sneers, as I shake him off and ruth down the street at lightening speed.
I was sick of living like this, dealing with guys like that! They see a young girl by herself and they pouncet
Stopping
at the bus stop, I chatch my chest in attempts to catch my breath, before turning to find an elderly woman approachin
“Excuse me… what hus takes me to the Three Springs area?” I ask, facing the words out past my gasping breaths.
“The number sixty will take you there dear… one should be due here in five minutes!” She points to the timetable as I smile and
thank her.
Rightly so, the bus did arrive on time, as I handed the driver my charge for a ticket before taking a seat towards the back.
I watched the town pass me by, reading the street names and trying my best to get more familiar with the area.
Luckily, the bus had a little electronic sign on the ceiling which showed the name of each stop on approach and when Three Springs appeared, I stood up from my position and pressed the bell to get off
The bus took around fifteen minutes to get to Emma’s area, as I wondered down the road to look for any familiar surroundings

But to my relief, it was Emma herself who opened the door, looking just as shocked to see me as is
“Wow hey!” She chimes, opening the door fuller and motioning for to come in as I do just that, immediately enjoying the fresh linen scent that floods my nostrils on entry.
Her home was beautiful, cute and cosy. Everything was white or cream and neatly in its place.
“I know, but I currently don’t have a phone… my last one broke and haven’t replaced it yet.” I admit, always shy whenever I had to tell people that I was probably one of the only people on earth not to own a damn phone in this generation.
Miner?! I keep all of my old phobes in my room for emergencies, I can give you one of those to use! Emma’s eyes widen at the idea, as does my own at her generosity.
I couldn’t just take one of yours! You could sell them, or you might need them at some point!” I hold up my hands as she just laughs and waves me off.
“I just got upgraded two months ago, you can have my last phone! It’s still pretty new and up to date! Come with me… Emma motions, exiting the living area and heading for the stairs as I quickly move to catch up to her.
