I woke up tossing and turning as usual. After I woke I never went back to bed. What's the point. I would just be wake up due to more nightmares.

I stumbled out of bed, practically doing a face-plant into the floor below. I laid on the the floor for a few minutes before even attempting to get up. What was the point? I finally worked up the ambition to get up. Breakfast was just a bowl of cereal that was steal soaked in spoiled milk. That was my breakfast everyday. I could afford no more.

I took a quick shower and got my work shirt on and head off. I could afford no car so I just walked. I was five minutes late for the third time this week and believe me that went unnoticed by my boss.

"Jockson" hollered my boss.

"It's Jackson" I replied. Mr. Wittersmith, A.k.a my boss, never remembered my name. Hmm sounds like some stupid immortal god of wine that I use to know.

"I don't really care. I have seen a path of tardiness and I don't like it. Get your butt to work on time or you are going to be searching for a new job. Got it?"

"Yes sir."

"That is two strikes, you are done to one. Be careful Jacksome," and with that he matched off.

Great getting fired from a fast food. That is a huge accomplishment. It's like Wendy's all over again."

"Welcome to McDonald, may I take your order."

"Yes, I like a Double Cheese burger and...hey I have heard your voice before...do I know you?" I knew that voice, I knew who that was. It was none other then Nico.

I tried to hide my voice by lowering it. "No, ummm must be some mistake. Pull right up to the next window." Oh crap. I may be able to cover up my voice but my appearance will still stay the same. Of course, I have changed a little being 19 and all but my sea green eyes will give it all away.

Before I knew it Nico pulled up to the window. "Sorry about that you just sound some much like a kid I know named...PERCY!"

Uh-oh

He recognized me.

Before he could get out one more word I sprinted out of there. I ran as fast as I could. Before I got out of the out of the restaurant. I heard my boss scream "Jackmon where are you going, Jerkson come back here, JACKSON YOU ARE FIRED!" Hey look at that he said my name right...well I guess I need to find some other job that underpays. But first worry about running away form Nico, then worry about a job. With that I sprinted as far as way from that restaurant as possible without looking back. I just hope Nico would be smart and not come after me.

Ok so this is not my best chapter ever but I promise they will get better. So ya please review. Thanks for reading I really appreciate it.
