"It's just the book, it's so sad," she sniffed"Oh, okay," I said hesitant to bring up Nolan"Why are you standing there like a stranger, come sit," she patted the seat I once sat. "We could read it right if you are bored,""Sure," I gave an awkward pause before taking the seatAs she moved to flip the pages I spoke up. Finally deciding it was now or never. "I have something to tell you," said looking in her eyes not breaking eye contact"It's about my personal life though it's work related," I swallowed closing the book back"I have a son who's just a few months old and there's no one to take care of him. I've been leaving him with the neighbor and I

  McKenna's POVIts been weeks since I sent my applications to different pharmaceutical companies and none had replied yet. I may have graduated with honors but I know there are others out there much better than me and they probably got the job. I checked my computer every morning but all I find is never ending disappointment.I've been running low on money lately and I don't want to call dad as he'll think I'm suffering and would try to get me to go back home but I don't have much of a choice. I needed the money badly. And it's not like I knew anyone here to lend me some money. I just got to know Avery and I don't think it's proper to start asking for some money.

Nolan also caused me a headache as he wouldn't stop crying and still hasn't.I held the doorknob to our new home and pushed the door wide open. A bland room stared at me. A good look around the house and it was the same. The kitchen was void of good paint and the doors were bent awkwardly but wasn't not like I had a choice. I arranged for this place super last minute and the owner was nice enough to give me a down price.Pushing the gray couch by wall, I placed Nolan safely and began cleaning. Dust flooded my nostrils and I began wheezing. I scrubbed so hard on the tiled floor I almost broke a nail. On second thought, this place is going to be a lot harder to clean but it

Dad was a quick learner who worked at a colossal hospital in our town so it wasn't hard to revive me as he was the only one in attendance aside me.As expected, no one showed up. Not even Ash's parents. I had called them also last night but they were too drunk to comprehend what I had said and there's the fact that they also didn't care seeing as she ran away when she had the chance but being a good girl, she sometimes visited them and gave them cash,
