It's a cold and snowy day the sun rises up and I am ready for this day to happen leaving the house grabbing a quick breakfast then my next stop is the docks.
Walking down the street seeing the snow fall hearing cars pass by kids playing going to school also the wind making that silent noise passing by your ear today seems peaceful but It just started so I don't know what will happen next maybe something good who knows when i take a moment and think i noticed things have changed since that day it all went down and suddenly gone.
Yeah I'll never forget what happened Just hope nothing like that happens again no more pain or wrong actions it just ain't right sometimes I wonder how i'm even alive maybe destiny has other plans for me still don't know the answer but one day things will turn out good I just know they will. As I arrive at the main gates you can see how old they look with all the rust and the paint coming off,Walked up to the guard showing him my ID soon as the chat stopped the gates opened going towards the inside I look around and see many people working some cleaning,some fixing on stuff. My job is cleaning the stuff that's on the boats getting them off and cleaning any messy spots not fun but get paid good for it.
9:45am better hurry and clock in before the boss notice me don't need to lose my job now not until i get a better one after I clocked in i go towards the lockers changing into my work clothes opening the door there lays a photo took a few years back with My mom and me in it not talked to her in a while she's probably worried sick about me after work i might try getting ahold of her wonder if she dating that Hebert guy yet.
Shutting the locker door out comes francisco his my good pal we've known each other for almost 5 years we hang sometimes if we ain't working here. "Hey Francisco what did you think of that game last night?'' I asked him.
''It's alright not to happy about the team losing but there always a rematch'' Francisco reply back with a grin.
after our talk about the game we suit up and start working on the docks we talk while on the job just to pass the time by it's hard finding someone to talk to some mainly ignore or just leave without a trace it's strange sometimes but you just need a few friends is all not a lot anyway trying to get this junk off the boat is really hard work nasty stuff to but you get use to the smell first time is the worst we had back up coming to help get some of this junk off before it was ready to head out to the ocean again now I would love to travel into the ocean seeing new things in the world but that will have to wait for another time.
12:34pm which means it's lunch time oh I can't wait to sit back and enjoy the meal that hides within my lunchbox my favorite meal of the day would probably be Dinner time because you have a huge meal with family and you enjoy moments and tell stories,laugh,and spend a lot of time together but I don't get time for that stuff mainly working and as soon i get home i'm tired so it's kinda sad I miss all of my friends,family,and even mom sure hope she is doing ok i need to call her as soon as possible. I love enjoy the view of the city with the sun seeing the blue sky with it's white clouds it's very beautiful.
1:02pm Lunchtime is over now back to the lame job I do cleaning nasty boats It's Friday so today is the last day of work the weekend is here don't get many weekends off what should I do visit Phil,stay at home do nothing,or go visit mom and them. I'll find out which one to do after I get off.
''So Francisco what plans do you have for this whole weekend? need to have as much fun as possible.'' I asked him while I mop the boat's floor.
''Probably hang with my friends Larry and Ollie see what they have been up to.'' He reply while cleaning the bucket out.
''Sounds cool dude just make sure to enjoy this weekend'' sitting down while telling him.
Francisco and I finish up this boat and start on the last one of the day we work hard and as soon as the horn went off quieting time was here. Took our gears off clocked out and left the docks we said our goodbyes until next week as for me I'm going to the store to find anything on sale before it gets packed tomorrow usually weekends get pretty full of people getting items on sale or anything on sale so that why i'm going now before the worst comes to show while i'm walking towards the store I see kids getting off the bus,people getting off work,families together.
It's good seeing people being happy instead of being sad soon as I pass the bridge my thoughts begin to appear what should I do with my life that is always the one to think of first but I'll have to stop thinking and just focus on getting to the store when I stopped and look both ways I rush to the other side and see the store with joy I hurry up and get inside.
When I get to the doors a solid black car with spinners appear it parks close to the store the door opens and a tall yellow rabbit comes out he seems pretty happy about something soon after he goes to the other door opening it and out comes a tall tan cat now that right there tells you something his probably a rich guy with a lot of money not really my business but I'm forgetting all about that and turn around going inside the store making my way to the meal section.
having trouble looking for my favorite meat I don't remember where it was at need to find it and get a few more things then head home to call mom soon as I find the meal and grab it the two couples appear laughing and holding each other walking right pass me they must be enjoying their time together now to hurry up and get going next section is paper plates getting them and now to pay up and go home while walking to the cash machine right behind is the yet again couple. Paying for my stuff i can hear them talking about something but I ignore them not my place.
Soon as I leave they laughed again you can hear them out the door but since I got what I came for the final stop is home.
8:59pm Opening the door taking my coat off putting keys away. ''Let's see if i have any messages.'' I say to myself while clicking the answering machine. the machine makes it's noise and turns out I have 2 missed calls one from mom and second being Phil I put everything away and call mom up first the phone rings 3 times and then mom's voice appeared ''Hey i was actually gonna call you soon as i got home looks like you beat me to it.'' I tell her with joy.
mom sounds like she doing pretty good turns out she did ask Herbert out they been dating for 7 months now i told her i would like to meet him one day she just sounded more happy we talk about lots of stuff her life,my life,also telling her what I plan on doing with my life in the future after I said all that she has plans to it's like we are thinking the same thing but as time passed we said our goodbyes and loves our phone chat was done for now so as I put the phone away and sit on my chair I say to myself ''The time to relax starts now''.
End of Chapter 1.
