Jeremy’s POV

I ran from my apartment. I had just found a way to get a job at a pizza place. I needed the money, as I lived in a very small apartment and unfortunately close to my Dad. He hated me, ever since my mother died of sickness. He would get as drunk as he could and beat me till I passed out. I was only 19 and he was 45, I couldn’t do much to defend myself. He would beat me often, when I finally moved out he couldn’t beat me. I finally had some peace, that was until he found where I lived. He would come over about once a week just beat me over and over again. I would try to lock him out, but he somehow had a way of getting in. The people at the front desks didn’t know who he was so they let him in, he made it so no one could hear my screams. Eventually I just accepted my fate, I knew I would die at his hands.

That was, until I found a Help Wanted ad. I knew that if I got enough money I might be able to leave this town. It was a cloudy day, I ran even though I was tired. After about 5 minutes I stopped to catch my breath. I had made it to Freddy’s. I took a second to calm my nerves, because of my dad I was extremely shy and got nervous easy. I looked up and pushed the doors open. The first thing I heard was the loud music that came from the stage. I had to cover my ears to help me get used to it. I then walked in and stared at the stage until a tall man came towards me. He asked me in an annoyed tone.

“So what are you here for?” His blue eyes narrowed. He wore typical security guard clothing, along with a cap onto of his head that read SECURITY. He had dark brown hair and has some bandages on his hands.  

I jumped at his voice and turned around to face him. He raised an eyebrow and asked again.

“Hello, anyone there? I said what do you want? You seem a bit too old to come to these places.”

I started to get nervous as hundreds of thoughts came into my head. I shook my head to get rid of them and replied, trying to not to stutter.

“I-I’m here f-for the night guard j-job.” My voice was quiet but, somehow he heard me. He started to walk away, but replied.

“Wait right here.” I let out a breath of relief and waited for the guy to come back.
