The Relationship Contract

My life sucks

Kimberly's pov

I couldn't hold back my tears from crashing down my face as I got walked out of his office, how am i going to cope without a job. I am in my finals , I can't afford to fail now and I can't ask my parents for help and getting a job seemed impossible at the moment. How am i going to through.

I sighed as I walked out of the company, Tears began to form in my eyes again but I quickly wiped it off and got into my car, This time tears came crashing down and I couldn't stop it, I had absolutely no idea what I was going to do, How was I supposed to get a job now? I sighed and wiped my tears, buckling my seatbelt on properly and drove to my place.
I got to my apartment and dropped my bag on the couch, Walking over to my tiny kitchen, I put on the tap water and splashed water on my face.
I walked back to the living room and picked out my phone, dialing my mom's number and after about two rings she picked it up, I could hear her breathing so fast , She was probably working
"Sweetie, how are you doing?" Her soft voice asked and i found myself trembling, Only her had the power to make me succumb without any effort
"I'm fine mom, how are you and dad?" I say quietly, trying to make my voice stable and I heard her sigh over the phone
"Your dad is fine, I'm also fine too but we have missed you so much sweetie!" Her voice seemed more calm
"I miss you too mom, I should be back after my exams!" I tell her
"That's perfect, How is Lisa too? It's been so long I saw the both of you!" She says and tears pricked my eyes
Every-time we were on break from the college I spent it working here instead of going back home so I could at least send something back to my mom and Dad, My dada was diagnosed with Diabetes and that reduced the workload on him which was transferred to my mom, I stayed back during every holiday to help out the family but not I have no job.
"I'm sorry mom, I would come visit soon!" I say, We ended up speaking for a long while, talking to my mom really helped me. I couldn't stop thinking about how i was going to cope, i couldn't help but get gloomy

I woke up the next morning feeling shitty than ever, I knew my eyes were puffy and I had eye-bags under my eyes, I got into the shower and had a cold bath, I knew I looked terrible but I couldn't care less. I wore a black dress maybe to mourn my job, I tied my hair into a ponytail and put on a brown slippers, Walking downstairs I picked my bag and walked out of the house, I got into my car and drove to college

I got to college a few minutes later and hopped out of the car "Kim!! What happened to you?" I heard Lisa screech as soon as she saw me and I squinted my eyes
"Do i look that bad,?" I smiled weakly at her as we walked into the school together

"I am going to take it that the meeting with you and Jace Norman didn't go as expected right?" She says and I paused to look at her "Correct!" I muttered and she sighed "You know you shouldn't beat yourself so much about it, You would get a new job Kim, If jack doesn't want to re-hire you then he can go to hell!" She says and I smiled weakly at her.
I shrugged it off as we walked into the class, I took a seat next to her. I tried paying attention to the lecture going on but it seemed impossible

After I was done with class, I glanced over to see Lisa talking to some girls, Not wanting to disturb he, I walked directly to my car as I didn't have the strength for anything else.

"Kim Kim!! " I turned to see Lisa calling me
"I'm sorry Lisa , I've got a lot on my mind"  I said while trying to fake a smile.

"It's fine, i know which is why I'm coming over to your place today" She tells me and pulls me into a tight hug of which I hugged her back tightly, Well she's the only friend I've got not that I'm complaining....arghhh my life sucks!
We got into the car and drove to my place

"Argghh!"  I groaned as I laid on my bed

"Lazy ass get up" Lisa yelled as she walked into my room, "We are going to figure something babes. Now get into the shower put on something nice and lets get dinner at Kate's place" She tells me and I smiled and did as she said, we walked down to Kate's place and made our orders.
"How about you go see Jace again, try to make him reason with you" She says out of the blue and my eyes widen, After what happened today, I'm so sure he doesn't want to see me
"Umm Lisa, that is going to be so difficult" I cut  in
But maybe I could see him again,He has too see reason to help me, but how am i going to do that?
"Kimberly i just got a text from mason, I'll have to go over to his place but I'll meet you at home" I smiled and nodded "Extend my greetings to him and tell him thank you!" I say and watched as she rushed out of the diner, After I was done with my food I started to walk
towards my apartment and tried to open the door
"Miss Blake!" I heard a deep voice call out to me and I immediately turned back to see who it was and there he was..
How the hell did he know where i live, I walked towards him slowly, my eyes not living his,  this man was a work of art, sculptured to perfection. With him starring at me like that
I felt my knees go weak, my heart beat faster,
What is wrong with me? I couldn't think straight with this man starring at me like that
"Miss Blake" i heard again, this time his voice was calm and warm. I liked the way he called my name
"Oh what am I thinking" Yes M-Mr No-rman" I stuttered
"What are you doing here?" I stuttered
