Where the Heart Is- Standed Pgs. 14-17

            As I walked into Wal-Mart, I really had to go to the bathroom and I frantically asked someone where the bathroom was and I when I finally went to the bathroom I was so relieved.  When I was done going to the bathroom I came and out and started washing my hands and looking at myself in the mirror.  And I could not believe how I looked.  It wasn’t that I acne all over my face, but my faced look sallow.  I didn’t not like it and couldn’t bare to look at myself anymore.   Then I remembered I need to go and buy a pair of shoes and so I scurried on over to the shoe department of Wal-Mart. 
            I searched for the cheapest household shoes you could ever find and I actually found a pair that I didn’t mind and were cheap, they had polka dots on them.  As I went up to the cashier I was getting very impatient because this man in front of me was taking an awful long time writing out this check and I knew that Willy Jack would probably get very angry if I took any loner.  When I got up to the cashier I handed her a ten dollar bill and started looking at the magazines and then I heard her say “Ma’am. Here’s your change.”  And when I held out my hand she put seven dollars and seventy –seven cents into my palm.  When I looked at my change all I could think about was NO!  I dropped my change and headed for the door.  I already knew that he was gone and headed to California without me.  I knew he had left and was never going to come back.  And while I sat there a man handed me my camera that was left in a parking space and a Wal-Mart employee came out and gave me my change and my shoes.  I was so devastated that he actually left.   I felt like my whole body was numb and saddened by what just happened.  And now I sit here in a Wal-Mart parking lot all alone with basically nothing to my name.  i have no idea what i am going to do!

Pgs. 14-17.
