Astrid Curtis: The Curtis Sister Story book 2

Chapter 11

* Astrid pov*

As I sit against the wall in the house crying. I thought coming back would be a good thing but I can tell that nobody really wants me here. I mean MOST of them say they missed me but I don't see if they actually mean it or not.

Pony especially doesn't. I mean he never ever loved me in the first place. Maybe when our parents were here and alive he cared about me.

I didn't fit in with this family and I didn't fit in the family in New York. I guess I don't belong anywhere.

I just want to feel wanted. I continue crying until I fell asleep.

* 3 hours later*

I wake up in an awkward position. I stand up and stretch. As I walked around I grab my clothes and change then I walk out of the house. I don't even lock the door. I don't have anything anyways. Not even a couch. But whatever.

I continue walking down the street. There's so many places hiring so I go into them. Like cafes, different gas stations and many other places. Nobody seems interested in me. No surprise there. Whatever.

Suddenly, I stop in front of a strip club. I sneak inside. As I walk inside it smells like beer, cigarettes and whatever else.

I continue walking around. Looking at all the people dancing, kissing, whatever. Finally, I see a bartender.

" Hey is your boss here?" I ask him,

" Ya I'll take you to him." He says. He brings me to his boss.

" Hey Chad this girl wants to talk to you." The bartender says and leaves the room.

" What do you want ? " Chad questions me.

" I would like a job." I say plain and simple. He raises an eyebrow.

" How old are you?" Chad asks.

" 25." I say without hesitation. I really need a damn job. He raises an eyebrow AGAIN.

" No you're not, you don't even look 18. I'm not stupid." He says. I roll my eyes.

" Fine, whatever I'm 16." I mumble. His eyes widen.

" Fuck I thought you were at least 17 not 16. You can't be here kid." He says while rubbing his face. I sigh.

" I really need a job and nowhere else will hire me. This was my last chance." I say.

" What's your name?" He asks while sighing.

" Astrid Curtis." I say.

" C-Curtis as in Darry Curtis ?" He asks while stuttering.

" Ya he's my oldest brother." I shrug.

" You're the kid sister that ran away." He shouts loud . I nod.

" I've already seen them, now I want a job. Just give me a damn job." I say

" Fine you can be a-a bartender ONLY." He says with a nod.

" Ok works for me. But you will NEVER tell my brothers or anyone about me working here. Got it?" I say. He nods.

" You start tonight at 8pm." He says.

" Thank you." I say and walk outside.

I finally got a job.
