Prince Of My Heart

|chapter 3|•√

Sophia POV

I wake up with a pounding headache. shit!! I curse holding my head I look outside and it seems like its morning but its still pretty dark, I look down at my phone which is now 1% its currently 5am I nod to myself ready for a new day, am gonna find myself a job.

I head upstairs taking an extremely cold bath, I wrap myself with a towel then move to the sink to wash my white shirt leaving it to dry in the bathroom I head to my room that I did not end up sleeping in after cleaning it up, I put on the same blue jeans from yesterday sniffing it first it still smells great and plus what won't perfume fix and no I did not steal the perfume it was a birthday present from john on our 6 months anniversary.

I find one of my black t shirt, wearing my underwear then my clothes, I look in the mirror I dont look to shabby apart from the bags under my eyes, I look down at my tan skin my black long hair my green eyes and my nose which is not so straight anymore from being punched a little bit too much I bit my pink plump lips, I swear am gorgeous if I do say so my self I could pass off for a model with my height and my curves, I have the right things in the right places, I've never worked out in my life, but currently with my lack of food I look malnourished my stomach is flat maybe when I find a job and a good place to stay I can start working out.

I put my wet hair in a bun, hoping it makes me look professional, I grab my torn coat I know its torn but its cold outside, and plus I don't think anyone can see the tear only if you look closely or focus on the rip.

I grab my bag and the little cash I found around the house while cleaning, I start walking out the back door quietly closing it, hoping no one sees me, I walk pass the side of the house when am about to reach the front I see a woman I've known since the day I was born,the cat lady, she's a single old lady that lives across the street always smoking, she's standing by my house fence, petting a cat that probably ran away from the insane lady.

Her eyes dart around and I quietly start moving slowly by the side of the house cause if I decide to walk freely in the middle she might spot me

Hello hello-" is anybody there?

I'm almost make it to the back when my leg hits something making a loud noise I wince

Hello hello-" am gonna call the police if you don't show your face

I roll my eyes and jump past the stupid metal flowering can that fell, I see her walking my way but I quickly dart to the other side of the house, she reach the backyard and I hear her mumble to herself about how she's going crazy

Yea she got one thing right, I watch as she heads into her house across from mine, I sigh releasing a huge breath, before walking out to the front porch then out the gates, I start walking down the streets, soon enough I reach a coffee shop, I get a cup of black coffee which is horrible but the cheapest and anything to keep me awake and hungover free.

I continue my walk looking for a help wanted sign when I finally find one, and enter, its not fancy restaurant but its close to it maybe I could be a waitress its not so hard I've done it before when I was in high school to find money for my sister's treatment when we found out about her cancer.

I ask one of the waitress who looks at me like am crazy but I just stare her down and she eventually leads me to the managers office, I knock before I enter, a man my age or a little bit older is sat in the middle of the office in a brown chair that looks comfortable

You can have a sit he points to the seat opposite him

I nod with a smile hoping it will mesmerize him to give me the job right away but am pretty sure I look constipated with the small frown he gives me

Are you okay?

I nod, using a cheery voice, am absolutely perfect.

He nods, and hands me a paper that am supposed to fill about myself

Am going to step outside for a bit while you do that he nods

I nod grabbing a pen from him watching him leave okay Sophia you can do this, I tell myself, after all I have done this millions of times

Soon the guy from before comes back taking a seat I hand it over to him

He looks down at it, this is all good, let me just run this through he types things I don't understand on his computer before I hear a printer at the side make noises printing out a piece of paper, he gives me a little smile and soon his smile drops when he looks down at the paper his eyes going wide

I bit my lips probably lying is a bad idea

I chuckle its not 8 just 12

He narrows his eyes at me tearing the form I filled in pieces, out!!! He practically screams

Am going to call security he says with a panicked look in his eyes

I roll my eyes and snort, and you call yourself a man, I walk out with the last of my dignity, I apply in 5 more places like that, treating me the same way like am a murder before I finally give up, I start walking home aware of my stomach growling reminding me that I've not eaten all day and its already dark

I grab my phone I charged earlier in a small cyber cafe for a little price. I send a quick text to john saying am sorry and just so you all know my misery, he's the only contact I have in my phone.

I finally reach my parents house using the backdoor I enter directly into the kitchen I cook up a canned soup before going to bed, tomorrow is Sunday and I just plan on sleeping in.
