Kevin (POV)
Uh, work was terrible yesterday. My boss was lecturing me about being an hour late. He said it happens again, I'm fired. If I get fired me and Eli are practically dead, we won't be able to pay bills, cook, eat!
Well I had other things to worry about today, I had to go to the home supply store and see if we can get something to fix the leak in our roof. But I was so hungry, Eli did cook anything last night, and I was too lazy to cook anything either. After I got the stuff to fix the roof I headed home. When I pulled into the drive way I sighed in exhaustion. I sat there for a while in my car.
The next thing I know I get a text.
It was Eli.
Eli text: kev where r u
Kevin text: I'm on my way
I said I was on my way even though I was right outside.
I finally got up and grabbed the bags out of the car. And I went inside.
Eli was in the kitchen when I walked in, surprisingly cooking.
Eli: hay, that was quick
Kevin: really. It felt like the hour would never end.
I flopped on the couch. Eli then put down the pan and came and stood next to me.
Eli: I got a phone call from court today.
Kevin: what? Why?
Eli: we need to move.
Kevin: what?! You gotta be kidding.
Eli: they called today saying that we haven't been paying the right amount of money to pay for the rent.
Kevin: wouldn't we have gotten something in the mail.
Eli: they said the have sent us notice.
Kevin: oh my god. Did we throw them away with all the junk mail.
Eli: I don't know. But don't worry this apartment is under my name so I'll take care of it. You just go to your room and rest.
With that I went to room crying. We had to move out! We barely had enough money to eat. How are we supposed to pay for an apartment on short notice like this.
I then saw a picture of my mom on the bed table next to me. I picked it up, then the sight of seeing my mom on that picture made me want to cry even harder, I wish she was still here, alive, smiling, happy. If only she was here to help me through this.
