It's getting dark. I take off my coat and hang it in my closet. Without removing my shoes I flop face down onto my bed and let Ashley's last words run through my mind.

"Either you fire this girl or you get a new girlfriend."

Who would give up such a hot girlfriend for someone like me? I close my eyes and try to tell myself that everything is going to be alright. I drift off to sleep. But before any nightmares can make their way to me, a hand shakes me awake. I turn on my back to find mom starring down at me.

"Don't you want any dinner?" she asks softly.

"I'm not feeling good. Can I just pass?" I ask her.

"Of course. Do you need any medicine?" she asks.

"No. I just want to be alone." I reply burying my face in my pillow. She gets up and leaves.

My sleep is dreamless. When I wake up its 9.00 according to the clock on my nightstand. There are two tablets in a plate with a glass of water next to it. I recognize them to be Advils. I down them quickly. After I gulp down the last sip of water I realize that they must have been mum's own medicine. I get up and walk to the kitchen.

Mum is there eating a plate of green bean casserole. She looks up at me when I walk in. I smile at her to reassure her that I'm fine. I sit down next to her and pop some casserole into mouth.

"Do you want some?" she asks pulling her plate out of my reach.

"Nope. I just wanted to taste it." I reply laughing. But my laugh turns into me sobbing.

"Oh honey! What happened? Was it at work?" she asks walking to me and pulling me into a hug.  I nod and in between tears relate the whole 'Ashley and William thing' to her.

When I finish she falls silent for a while before saying "If you're uncomfortable with those people around you while you're working you can always leave."

I sniff and reply "But then how would we get money for ourselves? We need the money."

Mom begins to interrupt me but I put up my hands to stop her and carry on "Even if you're better, we still need money for clothes and food and other things."

"Honey. I didn't tell you this before but I think that I should now." She says looking at her hands.

"What?" I ask confused.

"I got a little job of my own." She says.

"What?!" I exclaim.

"I've started doing laundry for the Hemsworth and Lancaster family on daily basis." She explains.

"Why would you do that? I was perfectly happy with my job before this happened and I didn't even tell you about this before now! Then why?" I ask.

"That is because I don't want to be a load for my daughter." She says.

I sigh and get up from my seat at the kitchen counter. "Well I'm going to keep my job because I don't want to be a load for my mother." I reply and walk out of the kitchen and back into my room.

I know that me and mom are all that's there left for each other but I just can't bring myself to go back out and apologize for me being rude. I pull up the covers over my head and drift into a restless sleep.

A nightmare makes its way in.

Mom, William and Ashley are there. Mom works herself down every day and Ashley and William keep making out in the oddest places anyone could imagine. But every time one thing was in common.

I always walked in on them and Ashley kept saying the same thing over and over again.
