Walking in the door at five a.m she yawned , turning on the living room light. Her aunt was sleeping on the couch. Bianca silently walked over and shook her gently. With a soft smile she told her she could leave , her aunt got up stretching. The older women kissed Bianca's cheek , said a few words and then left. Bianca knew she would be lost without her. She was more like a mother then her own - which she hadn't talked to in about a year. It bothered her sure , but she didn't make a big deal out of it. Not that she was bitter , she just couldn't care less about a family that didn't want her. She loved them sure , but she wouldn't stress herself or beg them to talk to her. That just wasn't Bianca.Bianca hated coming home so late - working weird hours since she worked at Rifter's as a bartender. The job was to demanding and she barely got to see Kendall. She felt as if she was denying her daughter the attention she needed. The attention she knew her daughter needed. She loved her aunt for watching her , Bianca just wished she could be there to watch her. It seemed like she was missing so much and the look on her daughter's face when she says she has to go to work is a killer. Just recently she had to start looking away - her heart hurt knowing that her child understand and didn't say anything. Bianca swore the child was to smart for her own good. Looking for new jobs had been a daily thing for Bianca , filling them out and turning them ; then not to get a call back. It was frustrating to say the least. Knowing that Kendall's best interest was to have her mother home , Bianca knew she had to find a new job. Keeping the old one until she did...every day she was close to walking out. It was a little early for most ....late to her. But she knew if she went to sleep , she wouldn't want to get up. With a sigh she made a pot of coffee' and started on breakfast for Kendall. It was the least she could do - deciding to make her favorite. She quickly got to work. She finished up in about a hour , which was good because it was the time she had to wake up Kendall. Walking towards her little girl's room , she pushed open the door. Light steps she made her way over to the side of Kendall's bed , kneeling down to wake her. Pushing her hair back away from her eyes she parted her lips to speak. "Wake up sweetie. It's time to get up and get ready to go to school. I made your favorite breakfast. French toast and eggs." ,her voice was softer then usual but then again with Kendall it always was. She was careful with everything she said and did around her. Just to be cautious. Kendall moaned and shook her head. "I don't feel good mama ", her voice was barely above a whisper. Bianca nodded her head and smiled even though it was clear that she was worried. Kendall was one of those rare kids that actually hate missing school. "Tell you what. I'll stay home today and take care of you. You really do feel a little warm. If you don't get better today. I'm going to take you to the doctor. But for now you can have medicine and since I know you'll take it ; you can have breakfast in bed and I'll bring the t.v in here for you to watch." , she spoke as she stood up fully. Kendall nodded weakly and watched as Bianca left the room. She knew she would have to call in - and what the manager would say was bothering her. Even though she was the best employee there in her opinion - this was her third time taking off in one month. Dialing the number to Rifter's , she began making Kendall's plate and getting the breakfast tray ready for her. The manger finally picked up , for a minute she didn't say anything. "Um....Mr.Daniels. I really need today off. My daughter - " , he cut her off before she could finish. "Bianca this is your third time off. You can't keep doing this. When you do come in. Come to my office...that is if you want your job." , with that he hung up. Bianca rolled her eyes being annoyed by the man completely. Biting her tongue , she had been doing that a lot lately. But the rent , lights and etc had to be paid. So until she found another job she was stuck with that bastard Mr.Daniels as a boss.
Rubbing her forehead she took the tray to Kendall ,with a glass of orange juice. Making sure she took her medicine she left the room after putting one of the smaller television in her room ; knowing that her daughter would fall asleep soon she decided to take a shower then a nap. At least a nap - she needed. She had worked from six to five - she was dead tired. She took a long shower, it was needed before she stepped out and put on a tank ,with some jeans. Laying on her bed her eyes closed but only for a few seconds when the phone started to ring. She groaned as she reached over to her night stand and got it. Answering she brought it up to her ear and waited for the person to speak. Mr.Daniels again and she was tempted to hang up. Until he told her that only one person showed up for work and her needed her to be there. With a loud sigh , loud enough for him to hear she said yes. Calling her aunt and asking to watch Kendall for a few , telling her that she was sick also. Bianca felt bad for leaving Kendall with her aunt again. For a number of reasons. A)because she didn't want to leave Kendall when she was sick. B) because her aunt was just over. C) because her aunt had just watched her. The list could go on & on. Pushing herself out of bed , she pulled on her shoes and walked to look into her daughter's room. She was sleep and she didn't want to wake her. Bianca knew she would be back soon any way. This was only the morning crew - the time when the new employees were to be taught the ropes. Hopefully they caught on quick. If not - what could she do. When her aunt came she thanked her and walked to the door. Getting into her car , she started her way towards Rifter's. It wasn't a long drive at all but it seemed like it today.
Near the park her car started acting up , hitting the wheel every curse word imaginable and a few you might not know came out of her mouth as her car came to a completely stop. Thankfully she had turned quickly into the park's parking lot. Searching for her phone , she had left it at home. Bianca got out her car and sat on the roof. Hoping one of her friends were passing by and could see her. Or someone was friendly enough to let her use their cell phone or knew what was wrong with her car.
