Chapter 8- Broke


I woke up Sunday knowing I wasn't going to have food for the next few days. I try to tell myself that the date was a stupid idea and I shouldn't have wasted my money, but truth be told It was the best day of my life and I don't regret it. My stomach's growling pulled me out of my thoughts making me groan and fall back on my bed. It was going to be a long week.

...

It is two days later and I haven't eaten anything except for the occasional snack someone would give me. I'm tired, hungry, and mentally exhausted; I've been working my ass off for the past few days just to gain food for the next week, I even took on extra shifts and overtime. Sometimes during the day I would have to stop everything because of the occasional dizzy spell, I try to drink lots of water during the day to fill me up but sometimes that just doesn't work, especially working around food 24/7. I try so hard to be grateful for what I have but when my stomach screams at me during the day I just want to loose it. I know I can ask Niall anytime of the day for food or money but I don't want to come off as a greedy friend or that I'm using him.

Before work today Harry called me to talk, we haven't spoken since the date because I've been too busy, except for the occasional text or two. Harry called me this morning before work to talk.

"Hi Zaynie" harry spoke shyly.

"Hey Angel"(I'm sorry, don't kill me) I try to be chill about it but I'm freaking out inside.

Harry's giggles float through the speaker as I get dressed for work "No, you're an angel".

We both giggled, "We're both angels", I tried to agree with him.

"Zaynie, guess what?" Harry squeled excitedly.

"What?" I mocked equally excited.

"I got a jobbbb! I work as a daycare assistant now!! Yaayy!", I could imagine Harry dancing on his bed in his pink pajamas and pink bed spread. My heart beat speed up a little.

"WOW, I'm so proud of you!", I couldn't help  the shock that flowed through my voice as I put on my skinny Jeans.

"Yep, my mummy's making me a celebratory dinner and ALL my friend's are invited, I told my mummy if my boyfriend prince could come too and she said yes", Harry saying boyfriend so casually mad me choke on my spit.

"Your what, Harry?" I asked in disbelief, don't get me wrong I was planning on more dates with Harry and then asking him to be my boyfriend, but apparently Harry had other plans.

"I said boyfriend prince", Harry exclaimed excitedly, but my quietness must have alerted him,"I thought we were boyfriends, b-because you took me on a m-magical date a-and-" I cut Harry off because he sounded like he was crying.

"No, you are my- my boyfriend, I was just shocked your mom invited me to dinner with you guys," I say, lying smoothly as I thought about the only meal I get to look forward to,"What Day is the dinner baby?".

"Tomorrow at 6:30", Harry said sniffing a little,"Niall can come too".

"Okay baby, I'll be there, Niall too, I gotta go to work, see you later" I said still in disbelief.

"Bye! Boyfriend!" Harry giggled then ended the call.

After the call I started feeling dizzy, so I sat down, I couldn't tell if it was because of the title Harry called us or the lack of food. Just one more day, I kept telling myself. Just one more day till a meal.

....

"Zayn are you okay, you look a little pale there", My co-worker asked me as I washed the dishes, feeling a little light-headed. The smell of the fresh baked goods were teasing me as if saying "Haha you can't eat me, because your broke".

 I broke out of my train of thought to answer her, "Yeah, yeah just a little tired is all" A little white lie won't hurt anyone, I thought to myself.

"Okay, just wondering", She eyed me suspiciously.

I went on washing dishes trying not to pass out by the minute. Not even ten minutes later I started swaying a little, I went to take a seat, but I missed and fell face first, but before I could feel the fall I blacked out. All I could remember before blacking out was my co-worker yelling something. 

....
