Amanda's POV:

"Where the hell have you been?" I heard Aunt Lucy say and I just sighed and looked down at the twins.

"You guys go to your room and freshen up okay? I'll be there in a few minutes." I whispered to them and they both nodded their heads and walked passed Aunt Lucy and ran up the stairs.

"Well? Are you gonna answer me or not?" She asked

"I was in school Aunt Lucy." I simply said

"Whatever, just cook me some food, I'm hungry." She ordered

"Yes, Aunt Lucy." I said and she walked in the living room as I walked to the kitchen to get started on her dinner. I finished cooking her food and placed them in a tray and brought it to the living room where she was.

"Your food is ready." I said and placed the tray on the table in front of her. I stood there waiting for her approval to go to my room. She took a bite of the chicken and quickly spit it out.

"What the hell is this?!" She shouted and I lowered my head.

"It's Chicken." I said in a low voice

"I hate chicken!" She yelled and slapped me across my face. I cupped my cheek and looked at her.

"I'm sorry Aunt Lucy, I'll cook something else." I said

"Whatever, this is good enough. You're a useless piece of shit." She said

"You can go up." She said and glared at me, I quickly nodded my head and walked up the stairs and to my room.

I walked in and sighed, I hate my life. I've been thinking way about killing myself, but every time I do, I remember the twins and remember that they have no one else. I don't want to do that to them, I'd rather suffer than leave them alone with Aunt Lucy.

I walked to my bathroom to freshen up, I took a shower and got in more comfortable clothes. I walked out and went to the twins' room to see them playing with their toys.

"Hey guys" I said and they turned to look at me

"Amanda!" They both exclaimed and hugged my legs.

"Did Aunt Lucy hurt you again?" Ashton asked, the twins knew that Aunt Lucy would beat me up, she tried beating them up but I begged her not to touch them and to beat me instead.

"Not really, I'm fine." I said and they both looked at each other and kissed me on both of my cheeks and I just gave them a smile.

"You know I love you both very much right?" I said and they both nodded their heads.

"We know, we love you very much too sissy!" Ashley exclaimed and I felt the tears building up in my eyes, and this time I let them fall.

"Sissy, don't cry." Ashton said and wiped my tears away.

"I can't help it bud, I'm just having a really hard time." I said and they both looked at me.

"Cmon sissy, let's watch TV, I bet that'll cheer you up!" Ashley said and pulled me to her bed. We watched TV until they both fell asleep, I looked at the clock and saw that it was 9:00, my shift starts at 9:30, I need to go.

I quietly walked out the twins' room and went to mine. I put on a pair of jeans and a T shirt and got my phone and wallet and walked out. I went down the stairs to see Aunt Lucy passed out on the couch. I went to the kitchen to cook some food for the twins if ever they wake up. After cooking their food, I brought it up to their room and kissed their foreheads and walked back downstairs and out the front door.

I work in a little cafe out of the neighborhood and I earn a good amount of money, it was good enough for us to survive and pay the bills. I walked in the cafe to see that there were still a few people in here. I saw the owner Mrs Montez and she gave me a smile.

"Oh there you are, cmon get in your uniform and serve table number 6." She said and I nodded my head. I did as she said and got in my uniform and went over to table 6.

"Hello, good evening. Welcome to Lilith's cafe what can I get you?" I asked without looking at the costumers.

"Hey, aren't you Amanda Jones?" A guy asked and I finally looked up and saw Christian and his friends. Can this get any more cliche? Gosh. 

"Yes, I'm Amanda Jones, what can I get you guys?" I asked them not bothering to look at Christian.

"Oh uhmm yeah, we'll all have a coffee." Another guy said and I nodded my head.

"Okay, 5 coffees coming right up." I said and walked away, I can't believe they're here. Am I just that unlucky? Jeez.

Christian's POV:

When I saw that Amanda was our waitress I couldn't help but stare at her, she looked so different yet she still remained beautiful as ever. She refused to make eye contact with me which I understand.

"Dude, why is Amanda Jones working at a cafe?" My friend, Nate, asked.

"Yeah, I thought she had the perfect family and that she's filthy rich, if she's rich then why the hell is she working at this little cafe?" My other friend, Bryan, asked.

"You should know, she was your best friend after all." Kyle said to me, and I just looked at him.

"What?" I asked

"Never mind, here she comes." He said and I looked over to see Amanda walking towards us with a tray of coffee and handed them to us.

"Is there anything else I could get you guys?" Her angelic voice asked, I then finally decided to speak up.

"No, we're fine, thank you." I said and she looked at me and gave me a smile, which was obviously fake. I can't help but see the emptiness in her eyes, her once piercing blue eyes were now so dull and was filled with sadness, I wonder what happened to her?
