Walking down the the road making my way to school, I wonder if anyone would take me in for an interview. I groan to myself. I've been handing my resume in for weeks and no one had called me for an interview. "I need to get a job and fast" I say to myself before my best friend Audrey black runs up to me "hey, girlie I take it you still haven't gotten an Interview yet" she asked me "nope" I said extending the 'p' as we were walking to class.
3 pm
School had finally finished and Audrey and I said our goodbyes and I was walking home to get ready to apply for more jobs again. Once I had got home I got dressed into jeans a nice white top and sneakers, I printed more of my resumes and picked up my cream elle bag that had gold zippers and I made my way to the mall.
I was walking around the mall trying to see if any job had a job opening for any position. You see I'm trying to move out of home and leave my father's home, because we often argued and he would drink. I just didn't want to put up with it anymore so on my 17th birthday I decided to get a job and save as much money so I could move out. A year later and I managed to save up $1700.
I was loosing hope and my frustration was getting the better of me. Just as I was about to give up I saw out of the corner of my eye I saw a poster for a small cafe. Hmm they need someone for the register. I decided to hand my resume in and I talked to the owner for about 5 minuets before I went home again. I could only hope that they would get back to me.
The morning after I handed my resume in to that cafe, they called me back saying they would like for an interview on Monday morning next week. Of course I agreed and started to go shopping with Audrey to find something appropriate for the interview "you know Lexia you could just wear jeans and a singlet with boots and a jacket. It's not a bloody big fancy working office" she rolled her eyes at me but I did as she said anyway.
That night I was getting ready for school exams while I was trying to find a good pair of shoes to go with my outfit for my interview on the coming Monday. I was nervous without a doubt. I couldn't stop fidgeting with my stuff I just always had to do something with myself. I looked at my screen saver on my phone to see my best friend and me as children playing and laughing. I then knew then that everything would be alright. I just kept having to tell myself that.
It's Friday morning. I'm getting dressed and ready for school. Thinking that I'm going to fail at my year 12 exams. Audrey is waiting for me in her black comaro, I hop in "took you long enough we have to go I've got a surprise for you" I looked at her with a shocked expression on my face "what is it?" I asked, she looked at me with her classic smirk on her face "can't tell" was as all she said for the rest of the ride to school.
Once I got to school I saw that Audrey was driving past the school and not parking "where are you going? You missed a ton of parking spots out front of school" she didn't say anything but continued to drive. About 5 minuets of driving in silence she sighed "I need you to do me a favour its important" she tells me, all this is worrying me because Audrey of all people isn't like this I should know I'm her best friend.
"what is it" I ask her and she looks at me "not now but I may need a favour later I just need to know if you will do it or not" she tells me and I look at her "I can do it but your going to have to tell me what it is first" she looked at me sadly "it's probably the last thing your going to do Lexia"
About half an hour later Audrey dropped me off at an old abandoned building and it also rained. The irony. After she drove off I looked around and the building was the only place around on the field and there was also nothing to see in the distance around the field. Its just abandoned. I don't know why Audrey had brought me here, but it's definetly not good at all.
I walked towards the door of the old abandoned building, thinking that this is a really bad idea but nonetheless I knocked and I waited for about 5 minutes until I heard footsteps coming towards the door and to be honest I'm shitting myself. But when the door opened I was extremely surprised to see who had answered the door. I was in complete and utter shock, I hadn't seen her since he had died and I hadn't thought about him since my 17th birthday. But this... Its... Impossible that he's still alive HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD!! I had watched him die, I watched him leave me in his hospital bed "hello my gorgeous little sister" he smiled at me before everything went black...
