I woke up, but my eyes were still closed as I laid there unmoving trying to fake sleep I heard the faint moving of footsteps back and forth
"Mommy, Tor not coming to school with us? , she's not waking up"
"Why are you asking me if she's not waking up I'm not her"
I still laid there waiting for her to ask what I'm going to do I've got the answer all figured out
But.... She never did
Instead I heard
"Kelly let's go!"
I heard her grab the keys and left
She's locking me in here what the flying fuxk
Seconds later I heard her walk back in the keys jingled proving she set them down, slammed the door and left... For good this time
The tears then streamed down my face when it came to realization that she actually left without saying a word
so this is what feeling unwanted is like
Not today, not today
I rolled out of bed, wiped my eyes and quickly searched for the paper with all my phone numbers I got before my phone got trashed
I found the number I was looking for my other aunt.
I quickly dialled the number
"Hello"she answered on the second ring
"Hello?"
"Its Tor" I said
"Oh hey, I was wondering whose number this is, I finally got Brenda's number so what's up?"
"She doesn't want me to work for her anymore" my voice getting heavier with each word
"She says I'm too soft"
A lot more than that...
Of course a lot more was said but who likes conflict? I sure don't
Laughing lightly she said
"Well you are soft"
" Are you working today?"
"No today is my day off remember I have Tuesdays and Wednesdays off"
"Oh I forgot can I come stay with you later?"
"Yea yea sure"
"Really?"
"Yes girl"
"OK later"
I hung up the phone and took up the newspaper article with employment opportunities
I called the first number
The number you are trying to reach message box is full please try again later
Well I'm not getting that job
Dialling the other number
"Hello?"
"Uh hi is this the place that needs a receptionist?"
"Yes, this is the place do you have any qualifications?"
