Chapter 3

If you haven’t read previous chapters you can find them here.
I was heartbroken after being disowned by a place I felt was a second home.
I didn’t know why I was fired, but I knew it had to be REDACTED. Lies from REDACTED. Retaliation from REDACTED after I did the right thing.
A few months went by and I eventually somewhat landed on my feet. I got a job at Applebees as a server.
One evening I get a text message from REDACTED’s sister inviting me to REDACTED house so the three of could talk.
I guess I’m just addicted to chaos so I obliged.
It was chaotic. The first thing they did was take my phone to make sure I wasn’t recording. There was a lot of yelling and crying from REDACTED as her sister stood in the middle as a barrier and attempting to play peacemaker.
REDACTED was very hurt that I reported her for the theft. She tried to rationalize it. Mind you, she got away with it and I lost my job.
At one point I was so uncomfortable I tried to leave while REDACTED was out of the room.
REDACTED walks into the kitchen and begins sobbing loudly saying “he’s leaving!?!”
It was clear to me that I meant something to REDACTED and she didn’t want us to hate each other.
A switch flipped within an hour of me being there and we began to get along. For some reason, I told REDACTED she could slap the shit out of me and she did. That was our truce. She then said I was staying the night while holding my hand. And I did.
A relationship began. It all happened in about the course of an hour and I still don’t fully understand.
