Luke walked into the bedroom where Tara was since she was "Grounded" by Ashton, She was upside down on the bed hanging her head off.
"Hey Tara"
"What?"
"I wanted to talk to you"
"About what?"
"Earlier"
"Ugh I don't care that I jumped off of the bridge it's not the worse thing I've done."
"Not that, about what you whispered, you said you wish the doctors didn't bring you back sometimes"
Tara rolled her eyes and groaned.
"Luke I don't care, why are we talking about this?"
"Because if you're having these thoughts we need to get you help"
"I don't need help I'm fine"
"Then why would you say it?"
Tara sighed as she sat up, "Because some days I wish they wouldn't of okay? It's just feelings I don't act on them I'm fine"
"You know Ashton use to cut right?"
"Yes I know"
"Would you hide anything from me?"
"why are you asking so many questions, Luke?"
"Because I'm worried"
"Well stop worrying! I'm fine"
"No need to raise your voice at me"
"Whatever" Tara said as she went to hang upside down again.
"It's not whatever if you're having these thoughts we need to talk about them"
"Right now I'm fine!"
"Okay but if you ever become 'not fine' let me or someone know"
"Luke I've heard this speech before I don't need it again."
"I'm just letting you know"
"I know I know, now what about what you said earlier that this babysitting job wasn't your choice?"
Luke sighed "Do we have to get into this right now?"
"Yes Luke we do, you got into my shit now let's get into your shit."
"Watch your language"
"Whatever now spill"
"Well, we got kicked out of the music business after some rumors were spread around, People were saying that we were doing drugs and everything, the record company didn't want a bad name so they silently booted us, we had no money or anything and no place would hire us but your dad, we were so desperate we took it, you're the first person to know this other than the record company, they've kept this so secret and everything, it's really hard right now and stuff."
"I can imagine how hard it is."
"No we went from having everything to having nothing, our families even turned their backs on us we have no one except each other, we're still fighting and everything and we need this job that's why Ashton got so angry earlier because he thought he lost the job from you doing that."
"Luke my dad wouldn't fire Y'all for shit if he knows his precious boys are being taken care of he doesn't care."
"What about you?"
"He doesn't care about me."
"Then why would he hire us to babysit you too?"
"Because he didn't want to look bad in front of his friends, he has a group of friends they go out and have sex with women when the women don't want his baby he brings the baby home and boom another freaking person for me to take care of."
"Now that's our job."
"Yeah, now it is."
Tara's phone started blowing up with texts, Tara sighed.
"Speaking of Jobs I need to go into work."
"Wait you work?"
"Yes, I work in fast food I work at McDonald's."
"I never knew."
"Yeah well I don't like talking about it, and now it seems I'm the new GM."
"You can't be a GM you're 16"
"Tell that to the women who just made me the New GM and quit."
"That's illegal"
"Tell that to them."
"Do you even know how to be a GM?"
"Yes Luke, I do, I've had to do it when the old GM kept leaving, now get out so I can change, Please?"
Luke left and you changed, Ashton grounded me but he can't ground me from work.
You put your hoodie on and grabbed your car keys, "Where do you think you're going, Terry?" Ashton asked standing in front of the front door.
"Work"
"I didn't know you have a job"
"I work at McDonald's I'm a GM"
"You're only 16 you can't be a GM"
"Well I am, my GM quit but before she did she made me a GM"
"Really? Well, I'll take you to work then."
"You won't have a ride home."
"Yes I will we're taking the van"
"Omg, whatever."
"Don't whatever me" Ashton said as he put his shoes on.
The drive to work was boring "Why are they still letting you be a GM at 16?"
"Because they have no one plus I'm more qualified for the GM position than anyone else in my store, Also she made me a GM before she quit because I'm the only person who knows how to do things."
"Okay."
"Yeah"
We finally pulled up into the McDonalds parking lot.
"What time are you off?"
"I don't know."
"How can you not know?"
"It depends how bad it is, dinner rush is coming up and it's summertime."
"Why are you wearing a hoodie though?"
"Because when I walk in its going to be cold."
"Okay."
"Bye Ashton."
"Bye Terry, call me when you're off."
"How can I call you when I don't have your number?" Tara said walking inside.
Ashton parked the Van in a parking spot then went inside.
One of the Managers at the register asked: "Hi welcome to McDonald's how may I take your order?"
"I'm actually here for Terry"
"Okay, give me one second."
The girl went back and got Tara, Tara walked to the front then rolled her eyes, "What now Ashton?"
"You need my number, don't you? Give me your phone"
Tara pulled out her phone and handed it to Ashton, Ashton put his number into her phone and left.
(15 minutes later.)
Tara went into the office, almost all her crew had quit because of her manager, it was only her, Crystal and Amber who still had a Job here.
"What's wrong? I can tell by the look on your face that this is bad."
"It is Amber, I need to call Crystal in and see if she will come in and work."
(Amber is played by AmberPine )
"What happened?"
"Everyone quit because of the other managers."
"Well shit."
"You call Crystal and I know someone I can call."
Tara pulled out her phone and called Ashton.
"Hello?"
"Ashton put Luke on the phone."
"Why?"
"I need to talk to him."
"Okay."
"Luke?"
"Yes?"
"You want a job? Everyone quit and I need more people."
"Right now?"
"Yes right now, I can start you out at $10.00 an hour."
"I'll be there asap."
"Okay oh and see if any of the other boys want a job too at $10.00 an hour."
"Okay."
