Upstairs,Kylie walked into her room and locked the door,she slid onto the carpeted ground and the tears cascaded down her eyes,flashbacks appeared in her mind. 'I'm so sorry,baby,I - we just can't do this anymore,you have cancer,and I don't want to see you die,I love you don't ever forget that,bye my love',the words echoed through out her. 'If he ever loved you he would be here beside you',Nicks words mocked her.

"Dammit Nick why do you do this to me,I can't take it anymore,you have me going insane,as much as I don't want to admit it to anyone or myself for that matter I'm falling for you every hour,every day",cursed Kylie.

The next day came by so fast.Kylie was looking for a job.She needed one desperatly she didn't want to live or depend on the Smiths anymore,she would work and rent some studio to live in for awhile.Here she was standing infront of FOOT LOCKER.She was so nervous that her fingers trembled and her forehead had small little particles of sweat.She walked inside and walked over to the counter where a very young black american woman stood.

"Yes how may I help you ?",asked the lady nicely.

"I am here for the job",stuttered Kylie.

"Oh yes,let me see your I.D and your birth certificate",said the lady smiling.

Kylie took out both things and handed them to the lady.

"You are in !",exclaimed the lady,after a few minutes.

Kylie couldn't believe that was so easy,she sighed reliefed.

"Oh thank you so much,I don't know how much to thank you right now,any who I am Kylie Andrews",grinned Kylie.

"I'm Karma Collins,and you're welcomed besides you had this look on your face,you looked so nervous",laughed Karma.

Kylie returned the laugh and then turned back into her serious side and asked,"When can I start ?"

"Today if you want to,besides there only two people working here and now with you it's three,the other person is a perveted sicko of a man,but he's really sweet his name Anthony Corrente",said Karma.

"Alright"

A very young man entered the store wearing a pair of dockers khakis and a forest green shirt tucked in and a pair of worn out nikes.

"Thats Anthony",whispered Karma.

Kylie nodded.

"Wassup Karma,whose the chick ?",asked Anthony,sitting down on a chair.

"The new employee,Kylie Andrews",said Karma.

Anthony looked up,he was reading a sports magazine and smiled at Kylie.

"Nice to meet you Kylie,I'm Anthony,are you dating or something ?",asked Anthony.

"Um no",said Kylie shyly.

"Hm okay",said Anthony,before returning to his attention to the magazine.

Karma walked back into the storage room and handed Kylie her new uniform,khakis and a forest green shirt.Kylie took it and walked into the bathroom and changed quickly.She looked at her reflection and smiled broadly.She took the blue claw clip out of her hair,and ran a hand thru her hair,she brushed it back and put the clip back on and let a few tendrils fall,she put on some strawberry lip gloss and checked out her light blue eye shadow.She walked out of the bathroom,and stuffed her clothes into her jansport bag,she placed it into the small cubby and left to find Karma and Anthony.

Anthony whistled.

"First woman I have seen that looks good in a uniform..YUM",laughed Anthony.

Kylie laughed and pulled on his short blond hair.

"Watch it I don't want to have to whip you",said Kylie in a sexy hushed tone.

"When,what time,and where ?",teased Anthony.

"Karma,was right you are a perveted sicko",giggled Kylie.

All three laughed and awaited for the customers of the day.
