The same old thing has gone on for years. Her parent's never got along, they rarely paid any attention to her when she was little. She ended up with a guy who didn't even love her like she thought he did. Instead of being together forever like he promised, he ended up leaving her alone to face her problems alone..not only that, but when she found out she was pregnant she wanted to tell him but it was already to late.
She was left alone not cared for with no help by anyone. she didn't know what else to do, but that all had to change when she gave birth to a beautiful baby girl that she decided to name Olivia. She was beautiful...eveything about her appearance was just..breath taking. Her emerald-green eyes just like her mother with her beautiful silky ash blonde hair and creamy soft skin.
Maka smiled at her daughter remembering how little she used to be. She still was considered little even if she was now five. Maka looks down at her daughter who was now curled up against her chest while she stroked her long-ash blonde hair, while humming a tune.
"I only wish that things could be better Olivia." She murmured to herself as she continues to stroked her daughters hair. Just before she started to doze off into her own slumber Maka heard someone screaming her name. She cursed under her breath and gently Olivia on the bed covering her up and kissing her forehead before leaving the
She made her way down stairs only to come face to face with her Aunt Cathy. She was nothing, but the devil Maka thought she would always yell at her for stupid reasons. Whether, it was that she forgot to give her rent money for the room that her and her daughter occupied or if Olivia was being to loud when she played upstairs.
Either way Maka couldn't stand her or her cocky little attitude as far as she is concerned Cathy does nothing, but harass her about everything she does and she just can't take it anymore. Maka sighs as Cathy death glares her tapping her foot impatiently on the ground with her arms crossed over her chest.
"Yes Cathy?; Is there something that you needed?" She muttered still trying to sound a bit polite, knowing Cathy if Maka got cocky or smart even once. she would throw her and Olivia out in a heartbeat.
"Don't you Yes Cathy me you little twerp! You Know exsacally what I want!" She hissed."If this is about the rent...I promise I'll get it to you by tomorrow. Work got cut a little short today and so did the pay." Maka replied rather meekly."I dont give a shit about your damn job! I only care about the fucking money you owe me!" She screamed.
Maka sighed shaking her head back in forth trying to get Cathy to understand the position she's in now, but every time she tries to explain she doesn't want anything to do with it.
"Cathy...please you have to give me more time...if you throw us out where will we go?" She pleaded. Cathy just glared at her and shook her head and scoffs."I'm done giving you more time! i've given you enough chances Maka...I'm not sure...why your parents sent you and that obnoxious little brat here to live with me considering I don't want anything to do with you!" she snickered.
Maka could feel her heart shatter into a million pieces. She always knew that nobody really cared about her, but what she just heard made the pain that she already felt much worst than before. She couldn't take it anymore all that she really wants is the best for Olivia.
She felt a tear roll down her cheek as she quickly wiped it away before Cathy scolded her about crying considering she really didn't give a damn about how she felt at all.
"Mommy?" I faint voice whisper sleepily.
Maka fixed her attention to the little girl at the top of the stairs rubbing her eyes. Maka sighed and made her way towards the little girl and picked her up craddleing her in her arms.
"What are you doing awake Olivia?" Maka whispered stroking her hair while she continued to rock back and forth."I heard yelling and I got scared and got up too look for you." she whispered back snuggling into Maka's collar bone."everything is fine...Oliva no need to worry." Maka told her cuddling her close.
"Do you have my money or not? I don't have all day...if you have it I want it now. If you dont get out of my house." Maka turned around towards Cathy was who glaring at her Maka knew as good as she did that she didn't have the money. She had no other choice, but to find another place to stay if she was lucky.
"I don't have it." she mumbled holding Cathy closer to her chest."You might as well head on back upstairs and grab your stuff; because you are no longer welcome here...get out." she growled making Maka flinch a little as much as she wanted to plead and cry and tell her she was making a mistake it wouldn't change anything.
She nodded her head and made her way up the stairs into the room and gathered up her and Oliva's belongings. While packing up she found herself covered in tears. She hated when she cried in front of her daughter she didn't want Olivia to worry about her because as far as Mak knew it was the other way around.
"Mommy are you alright?"
Maka looked up at her daughter and quickly wiped off her tears to assure her daughter that everything was going to be alright and put on a small smile even though it was fake.
"Everything will be alright Olivia." She whispered pulling her into a hug.
"Are we moving?" She asked looking up at her mother. Maka didn't know what else to say, but she nodded her head slowly.
"Yeah...baby...were leaving." she mumbled letting tears fall once more.
"Where are we going to go? What about school?" she questioned. Maka let out a deep sigh before answering.
"I don't know where we are going Olivia...as for school your still going to go, but I'm not sure for how long though."
She nodded her head. Maka gathered up the rest of there stuff and made there way back down stairs as they made their way pass Cathy she looked exstremly pissed mumbling and cursing under her breath. Which made Maka grab hold of her daughters hand and give it a tight squeeze before heading out the door.
She wasn't sure where she was going anymore. She was tired exhausted and hungry every single shelter that they went to was full and didn't have enough room. Maka looked behind to see Olivia yawning and rubbing her eyes.
"Are you alright Olivia?" Oliva looked up at her mother and slightly nodded her head before rubbing her eyes again. Maka stopped in her tracks before picking up Oliva and letting her fall asleep in her arms.
She soon came to a stop at a park and looked around unil she had spotted a green bench in the the distance.
"I guess this will have to do for now." She muttered making her way towards the bench. She sat down on the bench before taking out a blanket and covering her and Olivia up. She looks down at her daughter and sighs she has no idea what else to do she doesn't have a house and no money for food. Soon enough Olivia won't be able to go to school anymore; because she doesn't have the money for it.
If that happens then, she won't have anyone to watch Olivia which means she would have to take her to work, but knowing her boss he won't allow it. Maka lets out a deep long sigh thinking about how she is going to handle everything before closing her eyes and wishing for the best.
Maka runs with Oliva following right behind her. They run as fast as they could to get Oliva to school on time not only that, but so Maka can get to her job on time. When they finally see the children going inside Maka pushes Olivia to go inside. She smiles and waves as her daughter waves back and disappears. Maka let out a sigh and turn around in the opposite direction heading to her job, but stopped when she heard a voice.
"Excuse me?; Miss Albarn, but do you mind if I speak with you a moment?"Maka shakes her head and walks back to the teacher. She knew where this conversation was headed and she didn't like it. The other moral of the story is she didn't have time if she didn't get to work soon she would surely get herself fired and she can't afford for that to happen.
"Yes, is there something wrong Ms. kemp?"She questioned
"Actually yes...its about you payment for the school? The money so Olivia can continue to stay here I had noticed that your check wasn't sent in."
"Yeah about that...I'm kind of having some money issues, but I can try to get it to you bu next week." Maka muttered.
"I'm sorry, but to keep her enrolled I need it later today." Maka couldn't do anything, but frown and just nod her head.
"I'll see what I can do...if you will excuse me I have to get to work."
Maka walked away and headed towards her job. She sighs and looks at her watch realizing she was late yet again. She cursed under her breath before taking off and sprinting the rest of the way.
When she finally arrived at her job she walked in only to be face to face with her boss. What Maka could tell was that he wasn't happy to see her not in the least. Maka had a good explanation on why she was late this time , but before she could answer he beat her to it.
"Where the hell where you 25 minutes ago Albarn!" He snapped.
"I had to drop my daughter off at school...I didn't mean to run late Mr. Johnson!" she quickly replied
"There's no reason that it should have taken you 25 damn minutes long, considering the school is 3 blocks away!"
"I understand, but the teach-"
She was cut off by 's had covering her mouth. Maka knew that there was no hope left for her...again and like always she had screwed up. She didn't know what she was going to do now. This time she was really out of options.
"Maka...your a great employee, but I can't handle it when you come in late...I'm gonna have to let you go." He sighed. Maka's eyes widened she didn't know what else to do. The next thing she knew she was bursting into tears catching Mr. Johnson by surprise.
"You can't do this! I barely have enough to feed my child! I have no other place to go! Please don't fire me. I'll work over time!"
"Maka-"
"I'll even work three shifts in the evening!" She continued
"Maka-"
"Just don't fire me! I don't think there is another job out there that would hire me!" Ignoring him completely.
"MAKA!"
She stopped talking and looked up at Mr. Johnson who was now holding her shoulders to keep her in place.
"I'm sorry Maka...but Iv'e made up my decision. I'm letting you go.
She couldn't breath...or talk...or say anything...that was the end of that.. she lost hope. How will she ever be able to offer for Olivia now? She watched as he gives her a quick pat on the back before walking away leaving her there silent and still shocked with the same question in mind.
What was she going to do now?
