Everyone basically has a job but they are not the same you see, there's the:
Poor classĀ
Middle classĀ
Average Class
Rich Class
Wealth class
Yh I know what you thinking aren't the Rich and wealth the same. Actually no they are not in fact they are entirely different, cause the Rich works for the wealthy and they would do anything to be among the best.
Of course everyone wants to be part of the best but it always comes at a cost though.
But I'm not aiming that high. Hey I'm Salvatore Esposito, I'm 17 years old I do day to day jobs to cater for my mom who is suffering from a Brain tumor ( Cancer ) Never knew my father and definitely not interested to know him. I'm currently still in highschool but I'm making ends meet at least with my Girlfriend Sarah Rizzo who is the Hottest girl in my school and of the head cheerleader plus a best friend, Lukas Wayne. Yes they are part of the Rich class but that doesn't mean anything you could say I'm leaving my best life,
Well until today.
*Ring Ring*
"Hello Salvatore Esposito speaking how can I be of service" Salvatore said on the other line in his kitchen.
"Hey Salvatore just the kid I needed" The other person said on the line.
"Boss, what can I do for you. Is there a problem cause today is my off day but I can come if there's any issue at hand" Salvatore said cheerfully.
"Ahh SƬ sƬ you see Richard is very sick and he can't make it to work, for the delivery will you be able to do it on his behalf Figlio ( Son )" Salvatore boss said.
"Ohh okay no problem, I can make it just give me a minute to prepare and I will be right there" Salvatore said.
"Fantastico, sapevo che potevamo contare su di te ( Great I knew we could count on you)" The boss said and hanged up.
Salvatore put the telephone back and he saw his mother coming down the stairs weakly.
"Ah mom I told you to rest upstairs, why are you coming down" Salvatore said hurriedly trying to help his mother but she playfully swing his hand away and smiled.
"It's fine okay, I'm just trying to get a glass of water. The one upstairs has finished" Salvatore mother said smiling to him.
"Damn woman I have told you time to time not to move okay, why can't you women ever listen to the men" Salvatore kept saying and his mom just rolled her eyes and walked past him.
"Maybe that's because we don't like staying idle and doing nothing" Salvatore mom said sternly.
"Maria Esposito you are definitely doing something okay and that's making me smile everyday" Salvatore said to his mom while bending on one kneel and saying her last name which brought a tear to her eyes.
"What did I do to deserve such a son" Maria Said tearfully.
"Of course an handsome and hardworking son" Salvatore said with happiness.
"I meant a very naughty and disobedient son, since when did you start saying my name huh. You have grown wings huh" Maria said while holding Salvatore's ear really hard.
"Mama pls I'm sorry, please I have to go to work now or we won't eat anything" Salvatore said begging his mother who finally let go of his ear.
"Thank you, I pray you will be rewarded for your hard work soon and you get everything you want in life" Maria said.
"Mummy I'm happy the way i am and I only wish for you to get better" Salvatore said and hugged his mother.
"Okay I have to go now" Salvatore said while getting up.
"Okay be safe okay" Maria said.
"And you don't miss me too much" Salvatore said happily existing the apartment.Ā
ā Pizza Paradiso ā
Salvatore reached his work place immediately and went straight to see his boss to know what he has to do.
*Knock Knock *
"Come in" The person inside said and Salvatore entered inside the office.
"Buongiorno signore ( Good morning sir ) Salvatore said to his boss.
"Ah Salvatore my best employee, you came right on time" Salvatore boss said while bringing out the book that stores the orders of places needed to go for a pizza delivery.
"Mr Russo it's no problem, after all Richard has been working day and night it would make sense he got sick eventually" Salvatore said with a smile.
"Yes I don't know what to do with that boy, he should at least understand to take care of his health" Mr Russo said.
"Okay Salvatore it's not even a lot order just one delivery that's all they already paid you just have to drop it" Mr Russo giving Salvatore the address and he smiled.
"What's with the smile" Mr Russo asked smiling as well.
"Ah nothing I know this address it's my best friend's place so I can easily go there just in time with no worries" Salvatore smiling and he left Mr Russo office not knowing to the heart break he's about to find himself.
Salvatore reached the apartment hoping to see his best friend only to see his Girlfriend Sarah Rizzo with a towel on.
"Sarah" Salvatore said in disbelief.
"Ohh it's you" Sarah said without a care
"What are you doing here" Salvatore said while holding the pizza.
"Well what do you think I'm doing here exactly, it's literally obvious" Sarah said.
"Hey Sarah what's the hold up didn't the pizza guy come alre....." Lukas said but stopped immediately he saw Salvatore.
"Dude what the fuck, you literally fucking my girlfriend" Salvatore said with pain in his voice.
"Well dude what did you expect, she's a hottie besides you two weren't gonna work" Lukas said indifferently.
"Salvatore just accept it okay, you are from the middle class and I'm from the Rich class we we're never gonna work okay" Sarah said and went inside.
"Dude how could you, you are no you we're my best friend" Salvatore said holding his rage.
"Well first rule being friends with me, don't trust anyone not even me" Lukas said and shut the door on Salvatore face not even collecting the pizza.
Salvatore stood there in silence not believing what just happened.Ā
"My long time girlfriend, my best friend they all betrayed me" Salvatore kept saying in his mind.
He didn't even hear his phone ringing.
*Ring Ring*
Salvatore had to snap out of thoughts.
"Hello" Salvatore said on his phone.
"Hello is this Salvatore Esposito" The other person said.
"Yes what's the problem" Salvatore with a bit of fear.
"It's your mother, she just got admitted to the hospital and she's in critical condition" The person said and Salvatore went numb for a few seconds.
"Which hospital exactly" Salvatore said trying to act calm.
"At the Lorenzo Hospital at the..." The person was trying to complete his sentence before Salvatore cut the call and rushed off to the hospital.
ā Lorenzo Hospital ā
Salvatore rushed into the hospital and went to the reception to ask where his mother is in.
"Hello mm a woman, Maria Esposito please what ward is she" Salvatore said running out of breath.
"Mm yes Marian Esposito she is in the 7th ward" The receptionist said.
"Are you a family or friend" The receptionist asked.
"Family she's my mother" Salvatore said and the receptionist gave him a tag indicating he's family.Ā
Salvatore immediately left to the ward to see his mother, she looked thin at the moment and bandages we're over her head clear that she might have hit her head.
"Ohh mom I should have never left you alone to begin with" Salvatore said to his now fragile mother.
"I should've just stayed home and this wouldn't have happened" Salvatore said.Ā
"Umm, Mr Salvatore" The Doctor said.
Salvatore saw the doctor and knew the news wasn't gonna be good, so he left the door and closed the door behind him gently.
"Umm doc please be honest,will my mom get better" Salvatore said to the doctor.
"You see the tumor has now reached to the worst part of her brain and....." The doctor paused.
"And what doc please is it the money, please I can get it" Salvatore said with sadness in his tone.
"No it's not about the money, cause even now the chances of her surviving is very minimum. I'm sorry but it's best you prepare for the worst now" The doctor said and patted Salvatore on his shoulder and left.
Salvatore stood there in silence with now idea what to do.
"Prepare for the worst, first my girlfriend cheated on me with my best friend and now I might lose my mom" Salvation said with nothing but pain in his voice.
"Why is this happening to me now, I have done nothing but good things what I'm I going to do now" Salvatore said while wallowing in pain.
Salvatore was busy wallowing when he didn't notice the presence of someone else.
"Could you not start crying it's very downgrading right now" A woman said in a harsh tone.
Salvatore looked up to see The woman knowing he has never laid eyes on her before, accessing her he could tell she's a red haired, with medium boobs and a nice ass. She wore a leather jacket with black jeans and black boots.
"Excuse me" Salvatore said.
"Hey could you not cry it's downgrading" The woman said again.
"Looks like you got the wrong person right now" Salvatore saidĀ
"Ohh no I don't you are Salvatore Esposito right or should I say Salvatore De Luca" The woman said and Salvatore looked surprised to what she said.
"What now" Salvatore said confused.
"Hey I'm Clara and yh I'm your sister, Clara De Luca" Clara said and Salvatore immediately got up in surprise.
"Great you are up and standing, time to take your rightful place at the De Luca empire brother, there's much to do" Clara said smiling.
