"Yeah I totally stole it"

Faith opened her dads bedroom door,  He was face down holding a beer bottle, which wasn't a rare site.

She shook him repeatedly, "dad! Get up your gonna be late for work!"

Once he was, well, alive she went back to her room to finish getting ready.

Faith worked at a pet shop near by, So she just had to wear a blue button up with jeans and a pin on name tag, half tucking the shirt in.

Once she was done getting ready her dad was to, and she met him by the door outside.

They lived in an apartment building, there apartment was a two roomer, it was pretty tiny but she didn't really mind.

Johnny came out with a bag of trash and his tool box, they began to walk but a voice interrupted.

"Hey. I'm Miguel, my family and I just moved in to 109." Faith looked back at him but her dad didn't seem to stop.

"Great, more immigrants." His words caused his daughter to slap him in the side, "actually where from riverside.." the boy began "anyways, I was just wondering if you guys where having trouble with your water pressure  cause I know our sinks being weird right now and.. ooh bottles go in the blue bin!"

"Dad Blue!" She repeated, Johnny turning towards the boy.

"Listen, Menudo. I've lived in this shit hole for over ten years, the pipes don't work, the fountains full of piss, the only good thing here is I don't have to talk to anybody. So nice knowing you" He picked up his tools, walking away and leaving the boy confused "ok, have a nice day.. I guess."

Faith watched her dad walk away, turning to the boy she said "sorry about him he's a little.. out of touch. I'm Faith." She smiled, tucking a piece of hair behind her ear.

"Thanks, I'm Miguel. But you already knew that. Not in like a rude way I just—" the boy began to ramble, Faith giggling.

"I know what you meant don't worry" Johnny interrupted them, "Faith! Come on you guys can make out later let's go" He yelled from the car with his window down.

"Oh, that's delightful." She Said sarcastically, saying goodbye to the boy.

"Seriously dad?" She said once she was fully in the car.

Her dad dropped her off at work as usual, She actually liked her job, she got to play with puppies, bunnies, cats and kittens, and more.

The only part she didn't like was being a cashier, her social anxiety just isn't a fan.

About three hours into her shift she was holding a blonde Labrador across from the window, holding it in the air and talking to it like a baby.

She felt eyes on her, turning her head to see Miguel standing on the other side of the window.

She brought the puppy down from the air, turning and holding up its paw, moving it to make it look like he was waving.

Miguel waved back with a smile before a woman She guessed was his mom broke there eye contact.

The day wasn't really eventful, just the normal shift then her dad picks her up.

"Hey" she smiled once she got in the car, pulling out her phone.

"How was work?" Johnny asked her as she opened instagram, noticing Miguel Diaz had followed her.

"Normal. You?" She pressed the follow back button.

"Shitty. I got fired."

"Oh no shit? What happened?" Faith was worried, she was gonna be the only one making money in the house until he could get another.

"Nothing just some assholes complaining" he said as they pulled up to the apartment building, making there way inside and going there separate directions.

Faith Changed out of her uniform into a crop top, opening Miguel's instagram page.

His posts where adorable, mostly just him and his grandma and mom.

She giggled as she scrolled, soon going into the kitchen to see what there was she could make for dinner.

As she opened a cabinet her dad said "there isn't shit your gonna find, Fay, we might as well just go pick something up from the gas station or something."

"Yeah I figured." Faith tucked her phone into her back pocket, Following him into the car.

Inside the mini mart they saw Miguel, who asked where the pepto was.

Faith cringed as she watched the man behind the counter grab the pizza with his BARE hands, walking over near where Miguel was.

She grabbed a dove bar slipping it down her jacket sleeve, turning to see Miguel standing in front of her.

She jumped slightly, then putting one finger to her lips and silently shushing him with a wink.

She walked past him and out the door, Johnny still inside.

It was now darker out and there was a bunch of assholes from her school there, talking about getting light beer or some shit.

She sat down on the curb waiting for her dad, him coming out soon after in a pissy mood.

"Damn what happened to you?" She chuckled, "asshole in there said I had a tiny dick".

She began laughing "okay"

"Where'd you get that?" He asked as she took a bite of her chocolate bar.

"What do you mean I bought it?" She lied.

"Did you steal it?"

"Yeah I totally stole it" there conversation was interrupted when they heard Kyler yelling about someone blowing his cover of something.

"Look dude I—" Miguel's voice sounded panicked, "man he thought we where in college dumbass!"

"I didn't know you guys where trying to buy beer I'm sorry!" Kyler shoved Miguel him causing him to go rolling into the grass.

Faith went to stand up, but Johnny pulled her down "just leave it Faith".

They kept bothering him, he poured the pepto on his head and punched him in the stomach.

"Dad!"

"Leave it Fay." He responded, her looking back with a worried expression.

"Where you going pussy?" Kyler shoved Miguel into the car as he tried to run, Johnny standing up.

"Hey! Watch the car man." He yelled, Faith standing up beside him. "Just leave the dork alone."

"You see this guy? Eating his dinner at the mini mart like a bum" one of Kylers minions said, the others laughing.

"Wait I think I know this guy, he's the jerk off that cleaned my dads septic tank." Kyler smirked.

"That explains why he smells like shit" the bigger blonde one laughed.

"Trust me, you guys are pissing off the wrong guy on the wrong day, alright?" Johnny said, Faith who was behind him stepping up beside him.

"Get the hell out of here loser" Kyler shoved him back causing him to stumble.

Johnny straightened up, looking around to check if anyone was around before kicking him in the face.

He groaned as he hadn't done that in a long time and now he's well, old.

They all began to go for Johnny, hits being blocked.

He threw one of them to the side, Faith doing a spinning hook kick that hit him right in the nose.

She stepped up into the fight, pinning a boys arm behind there back before throwing him down.

She walked out of it, going to check on Miguel.

"Holy shit how did you—" before he could finish Kyler grabbed her dad, hitting him twice before pulling him up and putting him in a head lock.

"What's the matter? Having trouble breathing?" He said before being elbowed and flipped over onto his back.

His friends tried to pull him out but Kyler went back in, of course so did they.

She ran in, punching brucks in the face and kicking him in the side before rolling her eyes as her dad held Kyler down, choking him.

"What's a matter? Having trouble breathing?" He mocked.

The police pulled up, pepper spraying him and putting him in hand cuffs.

"It's not his fault!" Miguel yelled, Faith trying to stop them but there wasn't really anything they could do.

She grabbed the car key from his pocket.

Both teens stood there, Faith bit her lip then turned to him.

"So you need a ride?"

"Uhh— yeah sure, is everything okay?" He asked, Her already in the drivers seat.

"Yeah this isn't the first time." She snickered.

"Oh." Miguel said, Faith just now realizing she left her key in the house, her dad having the only other one.

"Shit" she muttered, just loud enough for him to hear.

"What's wrong?" He asked, narrowing his brows "it's nothing I just don't have a key"

"Do you have family near ?" He asked, a slightly worried tone.

"No, just my dads step dad and he's up in the rich neighborhoods. He's also a total asshole so" she shrugged.

"Well I'm sure my Mom and YaYa wouldn't mind if you stayed tonight? I mean it's only because your locked outside."

"Are you sure? I don't know I don't wanna like intrude or something" Faith blushed, "no, no, I'm sure it's fine" they parked, Miguel leading the way.

"I'm not gonna lie to you. I'm scared of people" she laughed.

"It's cool, there nice I swear" he opened the door, "mama?" He said, the lady from the pet store walking in followed by an older lady she recognized as his grandma from his insta.

"Miguel Where have you been? Did you get the pepto bismol— oh." His mom stopped "who's this?" She asked.

"Mom this is Faith. Her and her dad totally just saved my ass and now she's locked out of her house with no where to go, can she stay tonight?" Faith stood there awkwardly, his mom responding "of course mija, it's freezing out there!"

His grandma said something to Miguel in Spanish, he responded in Spanish and She had no idea what was going on.

"Come on in, we don't bite!" His mom chuckled, "thank you misses Diaz I-"

"Please, call me Carmen." She said, pulling Faith inside all the way.

"My rooms This way" Miguel and Faith didn't get very far when his Yaya spoke "your room huh?" She smirked.

"I'm sleeping on the floor." Miguel blushed at what she was implying.

In Miguel's room, she sat down on the bed.

He shut the door, walking to his dresser.

"Here. I'm sure you don't wanna sleep in that" he pulled out a hoodie and shorts.

"Thank you" she smiled, they made eye contact awkwardly until he let out an "oh!" And walked out of the room so she could change.

She did, then he came back in to see how his shorts where super long on her.

"I can sleep on the floor I really don't mind, this is your house" she said, "no it's fine" Miguel finished his palate on the floor.

She laid on his bed, he shut the lights out and said goodnight.

Wow.

She just met this boy this morning and she was laying in his bed in his clothes.
