-Hi! I'm writing this author's note forever after I finished the story. I went back to reading it and it's really cringey and bad! Very cliche, and the plot is moving very fast. I'm sorry! My writing will hopefully become better on my new account. @DunWithFun.-

I open my eyes from laying on the soft velvet couch in my small apartment living room. I tried to take a nap since I haven't slept in days, but it didn't work. Oh, well. I sit upright and check my phone sitting beside me. I had a text from my cousin. I haven't talked to him in a while, but honestly I don't want to. He's an asshole.

The message reads "Hey"
I just reply "Hi. What do you need?"
Him: "Can I borrow some money? I just kind of don't have any"
Me: "You realize I'm jobless... Right?"
Him: "Oh? Mann that sux"
Me: "Yeah."
I just set the phone down and check the mail. Junk... Junk... Hm. This last paper looks important... I walk inside and open it on the couch. It's...an eviction notice?
I know why... I can't keep a job... I haven't had income to pay my bills but I thought I still had time. I get my phone and call the number on the paper.

"Hello?"

"Hi. My name is Chassity Britton... I live on 204 Cherylton Drive. Apartment 12. I just got a paper on an eviction notice..."

"Oh! Yes, that's right. You have to be out by Wednesday. Your bill from last month was never payed, as the month before that didn't get payed until last week."

"I know... Look, can I just get extended time? I'm looking for a job an-"

"Ma'am, I'm sorry but we cannot do that. You will need to be out by then, I'm sorry, and have a good day."

They hung up. I just flop back down and sigh, knowing this will be difficult. I don't really have any choice, but I have to find something, or else I'll be out on the streets... I stand up again and start throwing my things into boxes I had from unpacking still. I just put them in boxes room by room. Which was very easy, because I barely have anything to begin with. When I'm done, I set them all in my living room. But, then I realize - it's Tuesday. I have to be out... by tomorrow?! I recheck the date on the paper and sure enough, the date is tomorrow.

Who am I suppose to call...? I need serious help. But then I remember, my cousin. I hate him, a lot, but if it helps me from living on the streets, then it's okay. I call him.

"Yoooo Chassity?"

"Yeah, hi."

"You finally decided to lend me some bucks?"

"No. I mean- I would but... Look, I need help."

"Pfff with what now?"

"I haven't ever asked you for help before, at least act compassionate."

"Well what the fuck do you want?"

"I just um... I got evicted. I need somewhere to stay. Can I come have my old room ba-"

"No. No, no, no. Your room isn't here. Well, it's here, but it's not available."

"What do you mean...?"

"My girlfriend is in it. Find your own place to live in but you're not comin' here, Hun."

"What?! You gave my room to your girlfriend you just met two weeks ago?!"

"Calm the fuck down, Man. Find somewhere. My girlfriend at least helps me around here unlike you did for the past years until you moved out."

"Then where do I go? The fucking streets??"

"I don't care, just find a place. Don't matter to me."

"You know what... Fuck you."

I hung up angrily. I know I overreacted but he didn't even try... But now, I have no one else to call. Nobody. Then I remember an old friend that I haven't talked to in about two years... I hope she didn't forget me.

I call her then, too.

"Hello?"

"Hi... Jasmine?"

"Is this Chassity?"

"Yeah.."

"Oh, now you remember me."

"What? I never forgot you, I just haven't had time..."

"You barely do anything, you just sit at home alone without your friends with your stupid cousin."

"I'm not even living with him now, but can I please explain why I called?"

"Sure."

"I actually got my own apartment. But, I just got evicted because I can't get a job and if I don't find a place to live I'll be on the streets and I don't know what to do but can you please, please help me..."

"Oh, so you only called because you want something. Two years of not talking to me, and now two years later you call for somewhere to live. Let it go, no chance Chassity but you're not living here. Sorry."

Then she hung up. Well, already, this is going shit.
