It’s 7:00, Sunday morning, God it’s late again... My buss is going to fire me, it won’t be the first time that someone’s fire me, this is my 6° job, and I hate it.
I work in a restaurant, I’m a waiter, I always hate to be with people but I can’t have any professional photographer job, I don’t know why, every time I go to an interview, someone, always get the job before me.
Yeah, it sucks.
I live in a little apartment, near to down town, I can say it’s a horrible place to live, but I can’t afford anything better, my salary is quite low, and I have to pay hospital bills.
Mom is sick, she has cancer, lung cancer, Juli doesn’t want to tell me or Keith how bad is it. Since dad died, mom had being so busy, and she smoked a lot, but she always been there for us, now is time for us to take care of her.
I pay my mom’s medicine, Juli takes care of Keith.
They don’t live with me, Juli took Keith to her place because she works a lot, she followed mom’s carrier, she’s a lawyer, and I followed my dad’s.
Keith is a really smart girl, now she’s 15 years old, I’m so proud of her. I haven’t seen her 2 months ago. She’s in 3° grade of secondary school by now.
So I could say, I’m alone, well not completely, my cat, Nina, lives with me…
  
All this thoughts came into my mind when I was in shower…

Its 7:15, now is really late.

My buss is a bastard, he hates me, I don’t usually speak a lot in my job, and when he says something to me, I just affirm with my head, which pissed him off.
I don’t have a lot of friends on my job, there’s only a blond girl that gives a shit about me, she’s always eating with me, and she’s always defending me.
Like when I was in high school, I always get troubles with my mattes, and in some moments, I hit them, but its being a while since my last fight.
Emily is the name of this blond girl.

I arrived to my job, oh god, there’s my buss, stand in the crystal door adorned with golden letter that says: “Food Kindom” ridiculous name, I know. The restaurant is big, the walls in red color make it worm, at the bottom there was a little bar, we usually eat there, it’s a little pretentious because, the only color you see there are in red and golden, I dear to say is a pretty restaurant.

-Again late, Watson!

-Sorry, Sir, I wake up late.

-Listen well, Watson, if you arrive again late, I’m going to fire you!

-Yes, Sir.

I get into the restaurant, without looking my buss face, he hates that too. There’s Emily, cleaning the tables and putting the glasses in order.
Then I saw a new boys face, lol, welcome to hell.
Emily gets close to me and asks:

-Who is he?

-I don’t know, Em, I just got in here.

-He seems small, like 21 years old boy.

-I cannot tell you.

She looked at me with her blue eyes, she isn’t like the other blond girls, she’s smart and good at work.
She has always her long curly hair tied with a green league. She’s not the kind of girl that used skirts, and notched shirts, she’s quite conservative. I’m staring to believe she has a crush on me.

The time pass quickly in that place, the chef is “funny” (well not for me) and make some jokes with us, well with Em, I just listen, his name is Ronald.

Now its meal time, the chef and all the waiters and waitress eat together, in my left was Em, in my right was the new boy, his name’s Edward and he has 22 years and wants to work because he’s getting married with his girlfriend, lucky boy, I’m 27 years old and I don’t even have girlfriend.

-So, tell us Edward, how does a boy of you’re age, is gonna get a diamond ring? With your salary?- said Ron with all the food in his mouth, I’m seriously thinking of telling him how to chew like a human, not like a cow.

-Oh, the ring isn’t the real problem…My mom is giving me hers…the problem is the other wedding stuff- said Ed excited.

-Are you going to buy her the dress?- said Em.

- I’m gonna try.

-Wow, Alex you haven’t said a word in all day!- Ron said spitting food from his mouth, ugh.

-I have nothing to say.

-All shit! Lets play a game! Come on dudes! Its gonna be fun!.

-I have one!- said Em.- Truth or challenge!

-Challenge!-said Ron.

-Go with the buss and tell him you love him!- scream Em.

-No! Other thing!

-Go on, don’t be a coward cow!

Definitely he was a cow, but I wasn’t sure if he was a coward.
He did it, and the buss laugh, was the first time I saw him laughing after he contract me.
Then Ron asked me:

-Alex, truth or challenge?

-Truth.

-No! Challenge!-he screamed, I rolled my eyes.

-Okay.

-Ask Emily on a date!

“What the hell, man?” I though, I turned my eyes to Em She was so blushed that she looks like a tomato, oh well, challenge is a challenge.

-Ron!-Em Said

-What? There’s no problem- I said calm. Emily was more blushes than before.

-See? I told you he wouldn’t deny!-said Ron smiling.

-When and where?-  I said curious.

-Let me see… in the coffee shop, near to the mall. On Saturday night.

-Sure-I said- If that’s okay with you Emily.

-There’s no problem- she smiled and lowered her head.

We finish eating, so the hour to go home came, Thanks God, and I was the first to go.
I keep my things in my bag, took the rest of the food I didn’t finish and went right to the door, then I felt like if someone’s was chasing me, I turned around.

-Em? Why are you following me?

-Amm… Because I want to join you to you’re home-she blushed again-May I?

-No Em. It’s a dangerous way.

-Uh. Okay, so see you on Saturday.- said sad.

-See ya.

My place was cold as always, I can’t afford a calefaction, when I arrived the first thing I did was to put my pajamas in and watched some TV.
I feel sleep when the TV was on.
Friday-
I don’t work on Fridays, usually I don’t go out of my apartment, but now I wanted some fresh air, so I went to the park.

I always sit in a green metal chair in front of a statue, there’s always pigeons begging for some bread. The environment is always nice, there’s no much noise, then you can think without getting distract, there are also a lot of trees which make it more comfortable, the sky was cloudy but it seems not to be a rainy day.

I watched some kids running with their puppy, laughing and screaming, the mother and the father were in the floor leaning in a red tablecloth with some white frames, they were in a family picnic, that depressed me, see happy families make me sick, make me remember all the thing that I couldn’t have with my family, because we were incomplete.

I closed my eyes and tried not to ear their laughs, then a lot of stuff came into my mind.
