My Life

My name is Emily Thompson. I'm 15 and I'm the only child. You could say I don't care much about my education. It's been a while since I didn't go to school. I only care about my mom, Amanda.

She used to be a great loving mother and very energetic too. Still is but less energetic. She's always there for me no matter what. Sadly, when I was 8, she was diagnosed with cancer. She's been hospitalised ever since then. I used to stay with her at the hospital but as years goes by, the doctors doesn't let me anymore.

We also have bills to pay. I have to start working part time jobs at the age of 12. We also have a huge debt to pay because of my dad. Before mom was diagnosed with cancer, she worked so hard to pay for it, causing us to have little money to eat.

I didn't mind at all living in a small house or not having toys that I wanted. I was just happy being around my mom and she always says to stay cheerful no matter what unless it's a serious matter.

My dad?

Well, he's just a big jerk. He always do drugs and gambles every time. He didn't care about us till he left us a huge debt behind, making us his problem.

He left us and I was actually glad but mom didn't. She was depressed. I didn't get it at first but I finally understand, the fact that he was her true love. But he left us and to me, he's a nobody.

I never see him ever since. Now, I live alone in a small apartment. It's been weeks since I didn't go to school. I only do part time jobs but I always get fired due to my age. People said I'm not allow to start working but I didn't listen. I lied about my age and made dozens of fake ids.

It will all be worth it when I pay for all my mom's hospital's bill and dad's stupid debt.

{Third Person POV}

Another slap encounter the girl's face by her manager.

"How dare you lied to me, women?! Do you really want the police to get me?!" The manager yelled angrily.

She only looked down. She didn't feel guilty or sad at all. She knew this would happened. She lied about her age to get a part time job at a restaurant but, the job ends up being a death place because the manager is a dirty pervert.

He wanted his employees to wear short dresses till it almost reach the butt. He sometimes took the opportunity to purposefully touch the girls's butt also without any manner. The employees hated it and they weren't allowed to quit.

"You said you're 20 but you're only 15! Don't you know we have rules here!". Again, the manager yelled.

"I'm sorry, Sir," she apologised while looking down. It disgusted her how horrible he was. Her fist was already clenching, hearing him.

"Do you really want money?". She nodded.

The manager suddenly raised the girl's chin, causing both of them to look at each other.

"Then, why don't you work with me? At the looks of it, you don't only have a cute face but also, a beautiful body," he said seductively while biting his lips.

You short pervy ass hole, the girl thought.

She viciously grabbed the manager's collars and pushed his whole body to the wall. With a loud thud, he was already in pain.

She began to push his whole body to the wall many times by grabbing his collar.

"I will never work for a Pervert like you!"

........

"So what's the problem again?" The police officer asked again.

"I already told you! Just arrest this crazy girl! She viciously grabbed my collar and pushed me to the wall many times till my backbone almost got broken! Don't you know I have a family to take care and this girl is trying to kill me!" The manager answered angrily.

{Emily's POV}

I rolled my eyes by this pervert asshole. He called the police and it was very annoying. He was the one who kept touching my friends's butts and sometimes shows up in the locker room when we change.

He almost tried to bring us home also. That's not a good sign. Yes, I lied but his behaviour is much worst. I can't take his bullshit anymore so I harmed him a little.....correction a lot.

"Miss Thompson, what's you story?" the nice police officer asked.

"Yes, I did hurt him because he was also sexually harassing my friends and I-"

"Lies!" The manager interrupted. He already looked nervous. This guy is just a coward.

"Wait wait, do you actually have a certain proof that he's sexually harassing your friends and yourself?" The officer asked formally.

It made the manager smirk happily of course with his arms crossed. I took a deep breath and let it out.

I let my phone out from my pocket and put it on the table.

"There's a video I recorded when he went in the girls's locker room without our concern and I recorded some of our conversations. You can also check the restaurant's surveillance camera"

...........

"This is the fifth times since you got fired, Emily," the officer exclaimed.

"30 times actually. The others just didn't report it to the station," I replied.

His eyebrows furrowed by my statement. He was very unhappy about it. The officer and I met months ago and he already got used of me being arrested.

He trusted me when I told him about the video and the recording. The pervy manager got arrested and all my previous co-worker thanked me but sadly, I have to find a new job for the morning routine. All the co-workers were already nice.

"Emily, I know you're doing all of this because of your mother's hospital bills but you still have to attend school," he said.

"Who needs school when you get paid for doing a little work!" I announced happily.

"Emily, you have to work 3 jobs everyday"

"Yea. Morning, evening and night time"

He put his hand on my shoulder. "You won't accept my money also to pay for your mother's bill"

"Sir, you know I hate depending on other people. I'm not that kind of girl," I reminded him.

He's a great guy who wants to help but I hate having people to help. I like to solve my problem alone.

"Then, please just think about yourself for once. Today you did something for your friends and it could have been a danger to your life. So please be careful next time"
