Worst case scenario 1/2

The look of contempt on her face was visible. I sat next to emma and returned her stone cold look. "She said you wanted to talk to me". 1

Emma sat quetly before she spoke again. "So how have you been?" I felt a lump rise in my throat. "My life has been just terrible, thank you". 2

The question made no sense in my eyes. "Whats your problem?". I shook my head and smirked. "shirley practically robbed me of my job. You accused me of stealing then you drove me out.". Emma responded with a sarcastic laugh. "You were let go. You knew the hours would be cut!" 3

Contrary to her claim i knew the truth. The new manager fired half of the staff. My pregnant friend maggie and i were left working their shifts. It was three days into janurary when an old employee came  and asked for her job back. Emma revealed this two weeks prior to my dismissal. She said the old employee would be getting my hours. She also told me i would get longer shifts. Less then two weeks prior to my dismissal. Maggie and i were working in the back of the store. Our day went without incident and we went home. 4

The store was filled with sales. I brought my pay with me in hopes of getting a good discount. Emma reguarded me with a simple hello. But as i was about to leave she told me the store had been robbed. This fact was not suprising because the store had been robbed before. Despite all that the crime was unique. The store had a safe that was bolted to the wall. The safe had been stolen during shopping hours. Maggie and i became the top suspects. The only reason given was our mere pressence and the fact we didnt hear anything. 5

"If there was any justice in the world. Emma clarence would be a welfare mooch". Emma arose from her chair and slapped me across the face. "You put yourself in this position. I did everything i could", I pressed my palm against my throbbing cheek. "Yeah you over worked yourself while sitting upfront. I bet you got tired stuffing all that candy in your face. I supported you when you needed it and you sold me out". 6

I walked away from emma. Before i turned the corner i looked back at her. "I saw maggie a few days ago. She miscarried after you and shirley accused her of stealing". Emma shook her head at me. "Your lying". 7

I smiled and flipped up my middle finger. "It was you wasnt it. You robbed the store didn't you?". I flipped up my second middle finger at her. "No but its not like you would have believed me anywyay".8
