26: Ninas "helping" hand
*Tolops pov*
After the photos, I was lead outside to the car. I put up a massive struggle to get out, but I lost. Of course, they let me dress before going. I dressed in jeans and t-shirt. Right, empty possessions The security said. They didn't find any. Can I keep my phone? I asked nervously. They searched me on the computer but I didn't come up nor did my "criminal record". They let me keep it. I was lead to a cell. I hoped it was away from company, because the only company I like is Sals company and the squads company but I was put in a cell surrounded with idiots who's company I didn't want. I sat on the bed, looking at the wall, which seemed far more interesting than my life right now. I stayed in the exact same position for the day, only stopping to go to the bathroom. The door knocks. I hear a key turning and someone comes in. I don't want company I declare and turn my back on them and continue staring at the wall. Tolop, that's not like you, I'm your kids mama she chirps. She sits next to me. Me and Melissa aren't enemies anymore She smiles. I say nothing. If I didn't know better, I'd say you need a hug she chirps. Her arms wrap around my back. She gives warm hugs. I hug back. She'll definitely be good with the kids when they're born. I paid your bail. They're letting you out on Thursday. So only Today, Tuesday and Wednesday left she chimes. I nod. Wanna talk to the kids? I nod again. Hey little dudes. It's Dad speaking. I promise you, you'll be born into a home with a very loving, caring mother and a father that doesn't give s crap what you'll do as long as you don't land yourself into trouble. I will be there anytime you need me. Need help with eating? I'll be there. Need help sleeping? I'll be there. That's all, but I'll talk to you again on Thursday. I say. Sal claps me. I gotta go she tells me. She gives me a quick hug and goes away.

I overslept my alarm. Again. For the second time this week. I stayed up late last night watching Good mythical morning. I kept fangirling in between videos and annoying Chloe, but that was okay, she didn't mind because she too, was up late. She was watching Macklemore videos. I finally got to sleep at 2am. I had my alarm set for six thirty and I overslept it. I'm supposed to be in for work at Starbucks for seven. I yawned and got dressed in the Starbucks uniform. I went outside to the bus stop. Two minutes later a bus came. Luckily, I wasn't asked for my ticket. I didn't have one anyway. Five minutes later I arrived at Starbucks. Only the cleaner is in there. I put on the coffee machine and wait. The first customer was a B.F.G, otherwise known as big fat grandad. He wanted a triple chocolate muffin and hazelnut coffee. I gave it to, eyebrow raised. My co worker, Bill came in... even later than me. You won't tell anyone I was late, will you? He asked. I shake my head. The next customer is Hellbent. I sigh and plaster on a fake smile and act like I wanna serve him, even though I don't. Hey Sir. May I take your order? I parrot. A large Americano He says. Three dollars fifty. Will that be cash or card? I ask. Card and he takes out his Visa card. I go up to the machine and fill the cup. I'm in a good mood all of a sudden for no apparent reason so I take a chocolate doughnut out of the cabinet and give it to him along with the coffee. I didn't order a doughnut he says. Take it or else I'll do a Sal on you. And by that I mean I'll keep saying go on until you take it, so if I were you, I'd take it I tell him. He takes it. I see Dolan coming in with Goopie. Hey Dolan, hey Goopie. What do you want? I ask. I'm having a blueberry muffin says Goopie. Whats on offer? Dolan asks. Um...French toast, chocolate chip waffles and Hazelnut coffee I reply. I will have chocolate chip waffles and the hazelnut coffee He says. You buying these things together? Ya says Goopie. Seven dollars. Card or cash? Dolan hands me a ten dollar note. I give him the change, three dollars. They take their stuff and go to a window seat. I look at the clock. Ten o clock. Bill, I'll go on my break now, I'll get Em to take me over I yell to Bill. He nods. As if cue, Em goes up to my station. I take off the hat and apron. There's a bakery across the road from the back of Starbucks. I walk to the bakery. I buy a pecan plait. I look at the display on the window. It's decorated with fake spider webs and pumpkins and Halloween stuff like that. Luckily, there's no clowns out. The Australian folks have to be careful, as well as America, for the clowns. The cops aren't taking chances. I walk to the book store. It's closed. I see Chloe doing her street art. You're good at art I compliment. She nods. I look at my phone. Nearly time to get back to work. I start walking back to Starbucks, ready to serve people again.
