Sloane
I can’t believe my eyes when I see a for sale sign planted in the front yard
of my childhood haven. The large white Victorian house, with its chipped
paint and overgrown garden, needs some work. But despite its flaws, it’s the
only place I ever felt safe growing up. The one place Ali couldn’t get to me.
It’s not for anyone else; it’s mine. Bringing my car to a stop at the curb
in front of the sign, I grab my phone from the cupholder and type the real
estate website into my browser. There it is—the listing, making this
nightmare a reality. Someone else can own my house for just two hundred
and fifty thousand dollars.
When Grandma passed, she left the house to Ali, and obviously she
didn’t make any mortgage payments. Too busy putting the little she gets in
her veins or drinking. Why Grandma didn’t leave it to me, I don’t know.
Perhaps, deep down, she clung to the hope that her daughter would
overcome her struggles and find sobriety.
Buying it is impossible. I don’t have the means to gather that amount of
money. I could try to go to the bank and get financing, but my credit isn’t
the greatest, so I highly doubt they’d loan me a sum that big. Plus, I know
they’d want my income and what I do for a living; bartending at the Iced
Rose doesn’t exactly scream ‘loan me hundreds of thousands of dollars.’
Holding back the tears, I drop my phone back into the cupholder, before
slamming my hands on the steering wheel. Blowing out a deep breath, I pull
myself together and drive off from the curb, heading to work. There’s
nothing I can do about it.
Buying Grandma’s house is a pipe dream. I might as well just get used
to the idea that it’s gone and soon someone new will be living there, making
their own memories. I can only hope that they find the same solace and
security in that space as I did.
Despite my sour mood, I plaster on a fake smile as I clock in, throwing
my purse and sweater in the backroom before checking the schedule for
next week.
It looks like I will be closing almost every night, as usual. Would it kill
Kevin to let me open a few days? I’ve been here the longest and do the best
work, but of course, Trina gets the prime opening shifts and I’m left closing
Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and Wednesday.
Whatever. At least I’ll have a nice stack of cash in hand since he pays
me under the table for my hours and I never report my tips. Shady, I know,
but I work hard for those fucking singles, so I’ll be damned if I’m gonna
share them with the government.
“Hey, Sloane! I was just closing the register. It’s been busy, so I didn’t
have time to stock. Sorry about that,” Trina calls as I step behind the bar
with my drawer in hand.
