I gritted my teeth as my thighs began to ache. This was not what I would certainly get used to but because of Jack's wellbeing and mine too, I had to do this. This was the fifth job vacancy I was going for. The others weren't so fruitful as to my experience and of course, my look. I glared at the queue as it was moving and I was already running super late. Boarding a bus in Glasgow was the hardest thing I ever did in my life.
The bus stopped at its terminal and I got down, making my way to Morrison's home bakery which wasn't really far from the bus station. I got in front of the shop, and straightened my shirt before opening the door. A bell chimed and I flinched and got to the girl at the counter.
"Hello." I greeted and her eyes widened in fright as she saw me. I frowned at her and she looked elsewhere, avoiding my eyes. I was pretty used to it. They were all scared of the scar and burn mark. But it wasn't my fault, I was born that way. I remember when I would cry that I had no friend and mom would hug me and say I was too unique to have them as friends.
"I'm here for the job vacancy." I told her and she stared at me from head to toe, most especially my hair which was in a tight ponytail and my eyes. Haven't you seen a person with heterochromia iridium before bitch. I screamed in my head and gave her a fake smile.
"Knock on the door that way, the manager will interview you," she ordered and I nodded and went to the door, slowly knocking.
"Come in." I heard faintly and opened the door to meet a woman who didn't look friendly at all. She had a blank look on her face as she assessed me with her eyes.
"What can I do for you?" she asked and I explained everything to her. She hummed to herself as she checked my files.
"You're still a junior?" she asked and I nodded. She laughed whole heartedly and wiped off fake tears.
"I would have accepted you but you see, we don't employ ugly people." She said and I froze. She gave me a fake apologetic smile and waved her hand to the door.
"You can leave now," she told me and I glared at her then stood up. I left her office, slamming the door shut. I made eye contact with the girl at the counter and gave her a scary look before I left.
"Goddamn fuckin motherfucking fucks!" I screamed and kicked the light pole. A woman walking with her child glared at me and I rolled my eyes and palmed my face. I flinched when my phone rang and picked it from my pocket, not bothering to check the caller's ID.
"Hello. Po speaking who the fuck is this?" I asked and I heard a familiar laugh which made me grin despite how mad I was.
"Always that famous line huh? Forgot to check who was calling again?" he asked and I rolled my eyes.
"What's got you calling Leroy?" I asked and I heard him sneeze.
"Did you get the job?" he asked and I sighed.
"No," I replied and he sneezed again.
"That's pretty awful. You have to get back, I don't think Jack is gonna eat any food I offer," he said and I heard dad yelling no. I felt tears prick my eyes as I thought of how I was gonna prepare for living without a job.
"I'll be back in a hour Roy, keep trying." I told him and hanged up. I pulled myself together and walked to the bus station. Surprisingly, the queue wasn't as long as Glasgow.
I got home and opened the door to find Leroy begging Jack to eat. I cleared my throat and glared at Jack before taking the plate from Leroy and dropping it on the stool.
"How are you feeling?" Leroy asked and I sighed and got into the kitchen, with him on my heels.
"Angry, fed up, and scared. I don't know what else to do Roy. It's like this is the punishment I receive for killing mom." I broke down in tears and he pulled me in a hug. I hugged him tighter, thankful for his homey scent.
"I might not feel exactly what you're feeling but I'm worried about you and Jack," he said and I nodded.
"Are you going to be at school tomorrow?" He asked and I nodded.
"I have no fucking choice." I told him and he nodded. His phone beeped and he checked it and bit his lower lip.
"I have to get going, mama's gonna be mad if I'm late. Take it easy on Jack," he whispered the last part in my ear and I rolled my eyes and ruffled his hair.
"If your hair wasn't reddish brown, I would have chopped it off" he warned and I laughed and saw him to the door. I was always being naughty to his hair because it was full, black and curly. Something he called genetic. And he couldn't do the same to me because reddish brown was his favorite color.
I got closer to dad and watched him in frustration as he kept on whispering mom's name.
"Let's get you to eat." I whispered and laughed when he started to shake his head.
Hope you all enjoyed this chapter.

BURN(A Roswell New Mexico Fanfiction) I'm Connected To A Glowing Pod(1)
Ouija, a fistful of Vinyl - Harley PoeTick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock.I stared at my old wall clock as I sat on my old bed. Nothing had changed except the room felt smaller. Not because it was bigger than my room at Jack and I's rented apartment, but because I had noticed that things had changed the moment I got sent out of the mansion. I wasn't the old Po anymore who relied on hiding my powers from the world and keeping shut when I was insulted. I was the new Po that killed innocent and non innocent people to save the people that were close to me."We'll be going out now," I flinched when I heard Aunt Rory's voice and I glared at the smug smile she had on her face as she peeked into my room. "Behave yourself till we get back Aye? Your new parents will be arriving with us." She shut the door and I sighed in tiredness. I heard noises outside a
BURN(A Roswell New Mexico Fanfiction) Why Do Bad People Get Away With Everything?
Moral of the story - Ashe ft Niall Horan10 years ago"Patricia," mommy called me and I looked up from my homework and stared at her as she kept the neat plates into the rank. "Go find out what your father is doing." She ordered and I nodded and jumped down from the high chair before leaving the kitchen to find Jack. I dreaded going to his room. He was so mean to me."Jack?" I nodded on the door of the room and heard no reply from him. I didn't want to be rude and open his door without any permission so I leaned my ear against the door so I could hear what was going on inside. I heard his voice finally, but he sounded like he was crying. My eyebrows furrowed in worry so I opened the door and g
BURN(A Roswell New Mexico Fanfiction) I Couldn't Kill Little Jada; Jack Had To Pay For It
Raging fire - Philip Philips "Edana," a voice whispered and I opened my eyes slowly to face Jada. She had a big smile on her face and I stood up straight and wiped the invisible drool of the side of my lips. I raised an eyebrow at her and her smile seemed to increase. "Daddy is back." She said and my eyes widened in shock."Shit." I muttered when I heard the roaring of an engine go off. I reached for the handle of her wheelchair, and wheeled her into her kitchen after turning of the light in the living room which her father must have never failed to notice. I set the mini laptop I had in my coat pocket on the counter in the middle of the kitchen, and turned off the light. I motioned for her not to make any noise with my index finger across my lips and waited for him to show his face.
BURN(A Roswell New Mexico Fanfiction) That's What's Fucking Fair
If I killed someone for you - Alec BenjaminThe day had gone to rest and the night took over, enveloping me with its darkness. I liked the night, it hid my ugliness, the scar on my flesh, and the sad and depressed expression on my face. My boots were the only sounds I heard as I walked cautiously on the lane, making my way to the black car that waited for me in the front. I got closer to the passenger door of the car and looked skyward at the canopy of luminous stars that designed the black canvas of the night. It had no moon.I opened the door and got in, slamming the door hard to control myself from scratching the smug look on his face and burning his ear with the cigarette in between his fingers."Took you long enough," his deep voice filled the silence and I rolled my eyes and unbuttoned the tight dark gray coat I wore."Jack needed me." I crypted and ignored the warning glare
BURN(A Roswell New Mexico Fanfiction) That Intoxicating Taste Of Finneas
Lash out - Alice Merton"Finn, they're staring." I whispered to him as we stood in the middle of a big bar called REGALS. It looked sleek, almost formal but at the same time old fashioned. I stared at the fancy drinks arranged behind the lanky blonde haired bartender who Finneas was negotiating something I knew nothing of. I needed to leave immediately. This wasn't the 'bunking' I expected. Old men that sat on the big sofas with brown tables filling up the spaces all stared at me. I guess they didn't expect two teenagers with their backpacks hung on their backs to be in a dangerous place like this."You owe me one Finn. You're lucky my boss isn't in town," the blonde haired punched Finneas on his shoulder and he gave off a laugh, one I knew very much to be fake. He handed Finneas a bottle of alcohol and I narrowed my eyes at the drink. What was he up to?"Thanks Cal. C'mon Po," he tugged my hand t
BURN(A Roswell New Mexico Fanfiction) Leroy Wouldn't Hurt Me This Way
Let's hurt tonight - One RepublicSad, sounds childish, like something flimsy, something one should be able to cast off with a happy reflection or with at least a smile. It sits inside like the seed of depression, just waiting for the right condition to grow, to send out roots to choke the hope of your heart.Sadness and internal pain was what I felt when Leroy passed me by this morning, not even sparing me a glance. I had woken up early so I could get to school and be the first and maybe only person to wish him a happy return. Just as I stood in front of the gate, I plastered a grin on my face the moment I saw his mom's beetle pull up in front of the school. He got out with gray loose hoodie and black jeans on. He never wore dark colored clothes and that drew my attention. His expression was emotionless and dull."Leroy!" I jumped, "welcome back." I smiled at him. He walked past
