Chapter 5: The Loss

Jake arrived at work with just a few minutes to spare before his meeting, as he walked through the door he was met by Tiffany the same person who was on the phone with him.

Jake: Hello I'm supposed to be meeting with someone, my names Jake Kynnersly

Tiffany: ah yes not a problem please take a seat someone will be out for you soon

Jake took a seat in the waiting room, a few minutes past when someone came into the room.

Chloe: Hello I'm Chloe if you could follow me, please

Jake followed her out the room and into another room with a table surrounded by chairs.

Chloe: if you could just take a seat please, Jake was it

Jake: yes and no problem

Chloe: so I'm sorry to say but your work position here will have to be terminated, we got the news of your recent arrestment and seeing as you are still on a recruitment contract we will have to let you go

Jake was silent whilst Chloe was reading out his termination contract not knowing what he was going to do with himself, just being kicked out of his flat and now losing his job.

Jake was thinking of multiple things such as where he was going to stay, and how he was going to be able to earn money, his whole life was crashing down right in front of him and he could do nothing about it.

Suddenly Jake completely snapped.

Chloe: You have until the….

Jake: FUCK THIS

Jake stood up from his chair and stormed out the building.

Heading for his car, entering it he instantly broke down in the driver's seat.

Jake: FUCK THIS PIECE OF SHIT

Jake was smashing his hands against the steering wheel and dashboard, punching the passenger seat, then suddenly stopping as he broke into tears leaning his head in his hands against the steering wheel.

*Tap*Tap*

???: Sir you are going to have to move along

Security tapping on Jakes window interrupted him and he turned his car on and drove off without even acknowledging the man.

Making his way back to the flat he knew he had to just pack his things and get out of there, not knowing where he was staying tonight.

Whilst bringing down some pre-packed boxes to his car Jake was interrupted by his friends.

Lez: Yo Jake everything okay we couldn't get in touch with you

Jake: Phones broke

Jake replied without even looking up at him.

Harry: So what exactly are you doing?

Jake placed down the last box into the back of his car.

Jake: *sigh* let's see I've lost my job, I've been kicked out by flat, basically I'm fucked wither help or leave I don't care anymore

Harry and Lez both looked at each other and saw how broken Jake was and knew they needed to help him whilst also trying to find out what exactly happened

They were all packing up the flat luckily Jake did not own a lot o.f things and everything fit in his car perfectly.

Harry and Lez were both asking what had happened and Jake was explaining everything to them whilst they were clearing up.

Jake did one last sweep of the flat making sure he has not left anything behind, once he was certain nothing was left he locked the door behind him and head back down to his car where his friends were waiting for him.

As he was walking down the staircase through the windows he could see lees dad terry pulling up outside with what looked like lee in the passenger seat.

Jake:*sigh* this is gonna be fun

Jake walked up to his friends and his car and was suddenly approached by Lee and his dad.

Lee looked terrible with a cast on his arm and bandages over his head.

Terry: Looks like you have packed everything if so I'll be taking the key now

Harry and Lez both looked at them with disgust.

Jake reached into his pocket and pulled out his keys handing them to terry.

Jake: don't worry everything's clean

Lee: Served ya right cunt

Jake: Same goes for you how's the leg prick

Lee looked like he was going to say something but his dad nudged him towards the building they then both walked off into the building leaving them outside.

Jake: well that's that

Harry: what you gonna do now then

Jake: no idea, guess I'll see my parents hopefully I can move back in

Lez: you can stay at my place if needed

Jake: Na I don't want to be a burden on your parents, if need be I'll sleep in my car

Harry: what about money

Jake: I have some saving to last me but I'm gonna need a new job or something

Jake then got into his car and round down his window

Jake: cheers for the help, I'll be seeing ya

Harry: Yeah see ya later

He then put his window back up a little and drove off heading towards his parents' house.
