"Andy it's Alex." She said over the phone
"Hi. How are you?" I asked rather generously
"Im, I'm fine." I heard her laugh very faintly
"You're lying to me Alex." I stated
"Listen.. I need a job." She replied
"Mm. Do you now?" I asked
"Yes, I do." She hesitated "I'm desperate."
"Can I stop by the motel when I get back?" I asked
"Sure.." She said before hanging up
I looked at my phone and threw it on the passengers seat. I grew up with this girl and now she's shutting me out like there's no tomorrow.
Alex's POV:
These past two nights have been absolutely dreadful. I've been hearing Austin's voice over and over again. He's not there, he's dead. I've been needing to talk to Andy but I can't. I remember talking to him when I was little "My parents travel." I told him. The motel owner came in my room and told me I had a two days notice of paying my share or else I'm going to be kicked out. He could get in trouble for letting a minor in a motel room by herself. Oh well. My bedroom was covered in trash and sheets. I'm going crazy every inch of me is numb. Every aspect.
I took two bottles of pills the other night. I passed out completely, causing me to be out of the whole day. Andy has been in LasVegas on some "business" trip. He's lying to me, I could feel it. I looked around my room and heard my phone buzzing. It was Andy .
"Hey, I'm on my way." Andy said
"Okay... how far?" I asked
"Like 15-20 minutes." He replied
"Okay I'll see you then." I said before hanging up
I grabbed my jacket and then my sweat pants. I really didn't give a shit about what I looked like I felt like shit therefor I will dress like shit. I looked around the room and started picking up the trash that was covering the sandy brown rug. I then threw my sheets and blankets on the bed fluffing the pillows a little bit. A few minutes later I heard a knock on the door.
"Hi" I smiled
"Hey." Andy replied
"Come in." I said holding the door open.
He stepped into the room and immediately looked around.
"What?" I laughed
"Alex it looks like trash in her." He replied "Are you feeling okay?"
"Yes, I'm fine... now tell me about this job." I snapped
"Okay." He stated very loud "It's basically...um"
"Andy.. I really need this job, I don't care what it is." I said cutting him off
"...drug dealing" he replied
"You're a drug dealer?" I laughed
"Yes." He said getting up
I looked around the room and got up very quietly I then looked at him and nodded my head.
"When do I start?"
"In 3 days." He replied
I couldn't help but smile and hug him. I really needed this money. I gave him a big hug and thanked him. He then told me that I had to keep this quiet. I just told him okay because he didn't know how well I could keep quiet.
