Chapter 4 Preparing for work

Melissa's pov:

I could feel my body falling apart with what that animal did to me but I still had to be strong for my mother, I needed to pay the medical bills.

So I go back into the bathroom to wash up I returned to the room and noticed blood on my bed sheets I quickly removed them and put another one with my still aching body. I gather my strength to go visit my mother at the hospital, doctor what's wrong with my mother, I asked the doctor in charge of my mother's health and she said to follow her to her office. I knew deep down that following her to her office isn't a good thing.

But I followed anyway, and there she breaks the shocking news that my mum has to get an operation done in the next three months and after three months if the operation wasn't done it could be fatal. I kept repeating the word operation... I asked how much it costs and she states that it costs over a million. I panic knowing I couldn't get that kind of money even in a year.

Still thinking of what to do I pass by my mum's ward and sit close to her. Though she was not conscious, because of the anesthesia administered to her few minutes before I got here, I wasn't able to see her but I left her flowers and kissed her forehead before leaving.

I got home feeling exhausted It was already evening when I saw that son of a bitch'es missed calls and he was still calling when I put my phone on flight mode and and blocked his number. It wasn't long when I got an sms from him I just glanced through it and didn't reply but blocked the number also. Feeling better by my actions I check the time it was already 9:00 pm.i knew I had to sleep early so I could be on time, tomorrow would be my first day at work and I didn't want to leave a bad impression on my boss.

I was early enough I woke up and got ready for work, I was 30 minutes early and the restaurant wasn't far from my house so I just walked down. And I'm guessing walking down to work would be a daily routine because it wasn't far from home. I wore a nice blue shirt and buggous trousers also not the one that was fitting all my clothes are extra large so it could hide my curves, because a girl my age isn't supposed to have the kind of figure I have but I'll take it as a blessing this time around.

I walked in and met with the other waiter's and waitresses I told them I got a job here and showed them the email of acceptance. I was then taken to the manager room where I would discuss my salary and other things, and I was told that as from next month I would work night shifts, which I agreed to. Because it would give me chance to seek out Day-time jobs I could take on.

I wore a black lacy apron just like the rest and I was showed what to do. And right then and there I got to work.
