"Hey Bitch!" I exclaimed as I opened the door to my sister holding my nephew.

"I told you not to cuss in front of him" she scowled.

"Oh crap, sorry," I said covering my mouth with my hands "Wait, is crap a bad word?"

"Nah just don't say it a lot. I don't want my baby to have a potty mouth like his auntie" she said in a baby voice talking to her son.

"Whatever. So you gonna come in or are you gonna stand outside all night?" I said.

She rolled her eyes before stepping over the threshold of my house and I took her baby bag away from her. She seemed to be carrying too much, so why not help my sister out.

"Do you have wine? I'm tired and I need to drink at least once a week?" she hollered as she went into my room to put down the sleeping baby.

"So you only come to visit me so you can drink?" I said with a playful glare once she came out of my room.

"No. I also come so you can baby sit" she snickered as she went to sit on the couch.

"Wow thanks sissy." I said and put the baby things next to the couch on the floor.

"Kidding!" She said in a playful tone but then drastically changed to a serious one "But for real bring me my wine."

"Okay. Fine." I said and went to the kitchen to get the wine glasses and of course the wine.

"So, how are you and Jason?" I said once I sat everything on the coffee table.

"Its on and off. He cheated on me again." she said and took a big gulp of the wine.

"What the hell Patton!" I shrieked with wide eyes.

"Jeanette!" She gave me a warning glare.

Oh yea I forgot the baby is sleeping.

"Sorry, but why do you keep putting up with that? I told you to leave him how many times and how many times has he cheated on you" I said and shifted my position to face her.

"Jeannette, you don't understand. I need to make sure my baby grows up with both parents. No matter what he does, I gotta stay married to him. That's what dad wants me to do" she said with a sigh and filled up her cup with more wine.

"Patton! Dad has problems. That's why we left Florida to get away from him." I said taking the cup from her hand because I saw she was a little distracted.

"Well still, I don't wanna come to Dad and tell him that I got a divorce because I wasn't willing to stick with my marriage." she said grabbing the wine from me and slapping my hand for taking it away.

"Ow! But real talk Patton. I love you and no matter what you decide, I will always love you. And don't worry next time I visit your house I will kick you husband in the balls if I see him." I said.

"Awwww. Thanks just don't do it when the baby is around." she said and put her arms out for a hug.

"Haha! Okay I won't" I said and went into the hug patting her back.

"So... what's up with you? I know you're a very busy person." she said moving on to the next subject.

"Of course, I can't stay in one place all the time." I said "And its fine." I said the last part not as happy.

"You sound unsure. Tell me what he did now" she said rolling her eyes.

She was referring to my Jackass boss. He acts as if he hates me. No wait he's not acting. He does hate me. Every five minutes I have a new task that is highly impossible. And when I get it done on time he still acts like I'm a stupid person that just waltzed into his office for no reason. Sometimes I pray to God he dies or is just absent from work for a little while but God never answers my phone calls. My boss, Michael Shaw, thinks the world revolves around him and his company. Although he is the most handsome man I have ever met, he's an asshole that needs to be brought down a peg or two. Just not by me.

"Well... nothing out of the ordinary. He yells at me and then tells me to get out of his office. That's pretty much it." I said casually.

"You have to stick up for yourself. Like I don't understand why you have to put down your personality when you go to that death trap." my sister said nudging my shoulder.

"No I can't. He will probably fire me if he knew how I really acted like and I can't have that." I said.

"That doesn't give him the excuse to treat you like trash" she said.

"Its better this way. I barely speak to him anyway" I said with a shrug.

"Whatever you say" she said with a little disappointment in her voice.

I switched to another subject pretty quick and we talked about other things going on in our lives. Sadly, Patton had to go early because I had to go to work.

The next day I was awoken by screaming.

"Holy Shit" I said as I sprang out of bed startled but then turned to see it was my alarm clock screaming. I'm a lazy person in the morning so having the ringtone of someone screaming pumps up my adrenaline to wake up.

I groaned and shut off my phone.

I trudged to the bathroom, brushed my teeth, took a shower, got dressed, put a little makeup on and went to the kitchen to make tea. I was never a big coffee drinker and when I did it was very rare.

After that I went out to go to work.

When I got into the building I used the stairs because I pretty much avoided everyone at work except Martin Anderson. He was my best friend since I had started working here as an intern. He sat right next to me and was always nice to me.

"Hey Martin. How are you and the wife?" I said when I was settled in my desk.

"Well she told me yesterday that she was pregnant again" he said with a smile.

"Oh my gosh man. Like how many kids you gonna have? Isn't this the 6th one?" I said joking with him.

"Yup but I think this is the last one. I need to go back to the nights were I wasn't interrupted by screaming" he said rubbing his face.

"Haha well I am happy for you guys." I said happily.

"MS. PETERSON IN MY OFFICE! NOW!" Mr. Shaw yelled from all the way in his office. Everyone looked at me with pity in their eyes. No one wants the boss I have.

I got startled and walked to his office fast.

"Why are you 30 seconds late in handing me the corrected chapter's of the new book I assigned you" he spoke slowly. And then he looked at me with anger in his hazel eyes.

"I-I um" I stutter but was cut off by the jackass.

"Do you not know how to talk Ms. Peterson? Because I can't have incompetent people doing work for me." He yelled.

"I'm sorry sir" I whisper in the most calmest voice.

"That's more like it. Now hurry up and get that chapter on my deck in the next two minutes or you can kiss this internship goodbye" he said in a deadly voice.

I walked out of his office really fast and got the chapter from my bag. I was really nervous as I raced back into his office and put the chapter on the corner of his desk. I should have threw it at his face!!!

As I proceeded to walk out again he said "Now go get me a blueberry bagel with cream cheese and a Triple, Venti, Half Sweet, Non-Fat, Caramel Macchiato. Oh and don't forget to finish these two chapters in a three hour time frame."

I nodded my head, took the papers from his hand, and proceeded to get everything. I went to the only coffee shop that was fifteen minutes away and ordered his crap. While I was waiting for them to make it, I read as carefully and as fast as I could because each chapter was at least 40 pages long, in the smallest print. I was starting to have a little anxiety attack because I thought I wouldn't finish but I pushed through that. I got his shit and went back to the office

I carefully placed his food on his desk and went back to my desk and tried to finish reading.

"Mister hard ass is pushing his luck today with you isn't he?" Martin said amused.

"Shhh... no distractions" I said with a smile but inside I was dying. I can't lose this internship. It's the best one that would look good to other companies when I was finished.

My errands got more ridicules as the day went on until 3:30 because that's when I was let off of work.

I went into his office carrying a crap lot of shit that he probably didn't have any use for but told me to finish anyway and set them down for him.

"Have a good day Mr. Shaw" I said but he ignored me so I left. I mean it was the only polite thing to tell him as I was leaving right?

After a normal day at that hell whole I would go home, drink a lot of cold things to help my hot head and take a thirty minute nap. I started getting ready for my next job. I went there three to four times out of a school week. I was a tutor to the most sweetest girl in the whole world.

I knocked on the door and there was her mother.

"Hi Jeannette" she said hugged me.

"Hello Ms. Bennett. How are you?" I said and awkwardly hugged her too.

"Oh please Jeannette. I keep telling you to call me Monica" she said a pulled me inside and shut the door.

"Sorry force of habit. So is Carly in the study room?" I said.

"Yes she is. You can go right ahead." she said and I started walking until she spoke again "Oh wait, can you watch Carly for 2 more hours? I have something to do at work."

I walked in the house and went start to the study room.

"Carly!" I said and put my arms out.

"Miss. Petie!!!" she exclaimed and fist bumped me. She was in the 4th grade.

"Guess what?" I said excited.

"What?" she said with anticipation.

"You're gonna have me for a little while longer today. So after we finish our work, we can do anything you want." I said.

"Really!!" she squealed and jumped up and down.

"Really! So why don't you get your homework, so we can hurry up and have fun" I cheered as I clapped my hands in excitement.

It took us approximately a whole hour to get done with her math homework and reading practice work. But it was worth it.

"Yay! We're done. Finally" she said dramatically.

"Yes we are! Now what do you want to do?" I said with enthusiasm.

"Let's play some video games!!" and she tugged my arm and we went to the living room. She turned on the console, handed me a controller, and popped on the couch next to me. All her games were downloaded onto the system.

We played Mario Cart 8 for like an hour until she begged me to read her a story. We started Charlotte Web about 3 days ago and we were in a good chuck of the book. She would read and then I would read.

The door opened and there popped her mother.

"Mommy you're back" she squealed and ran to her mother.

"Yes I am sweetheart. I hope you had an amazing time with Jeannette" she said and kissed her on the forehead.

"Of course mommy. Ms. Petie is so much fun. I wish she was here all the time" she said the last part sadly.

"Don't worry Carly. I will be back tomorrow "I said and bent down to give her a little hug.

I said good night to them. It was about 7:30 at night and I started my shift at my other job at 8:30, so I got some lunch and went there early.
