In San Fransisco there was a teenage boy named Sonny Ferris. Sonny had short black hair,brown eyes, was eighteen years old and was a waiter at the restaurant White Spot with his older brother Casper. "Casper how do you do it"? Sonny asked as he picked up a tray from the counter. "Do what"? Casper asked. Casper had long blonde hair he wore in a ponytail, blue eyes, was tall, muscular, twenty one, an over-achiever and married to the perfect woman. "This job, you never mess up on orders, a girl flirts with you and you just grin and say you're married without even stuttering, what's your secret"? Sonny asked. "I've worked here for five years Sonny, the girls I barely even notice because I'm happily married, awesomeness isn't something I can teach you, it take time, now I have to go". Casper walked to the entrance to show customers to their tables. A teenage girl stumbled into the restaurant. Her forehead was bleeding, her cheeks were stained with tears and she was limping. She pushed past Casper and clutched Sonny's apron. "Help me, please, you must hide me"! She exclaimed. "Uh, come this way". Sonny ushered her into the staff washroom and locked the door. The girl was slender, beautiful, had long red hair and a tatto of an onk on her left shoulder. "My name's Sonny Ferris, what's yours"? He asked trying to calm her down. Sonny put his hands on her hips and lifted her up onto the tiny counter. He dabbed her forehead with his washcloth. Her eyes rolled back in her forehead and she fainted. "CASPER"!  Sonny screamed as she fell into his arms. Casper came running. "Casper; I don't know what happened, she just went unconscious, I think she fainted". Sonny said as he lowered her to the floor. "Wait here; I'll get Natalie". Casper left the room. Five minutes later Casper's wife Natalie who knew all about first aid came into the room. "She must have been frightened and it could have also taken a blow to the head". Natalie splashed a small amount of water on her from the sink. The girl instantly woke up. Natalie and Casper left the bathroom. Sonny took off his jacket and tucked it under her head. "Slowly; I think you're still weak, what's your name"? Sonny asked. "Tamara James, my stepfather's after me; he hates me". Tamara told him miserably. "Where's your Mom"? Sonny asked. "Probably out looking for me". Tamara mumbled sadly. "I'll be right back; don't go anywhere, did he follow you here"? Sonny asked. "I don't know". Tamara wiped the tears from her eyes. Sonny ran out of the room and bumped into Casper. "Watch where you're going kiddo, go away, I'm working". Casper said. "Casper I need to take her to my place, she can't go back to her place, it's too dangerous". Sonny said. Casper laughed. "You live in a tiny apartment with two guys who lie around the house smoking cigarellos, what girl in her right mind would want to stay there"? Casper asked. "Get out of here Ferris; you've repeatedly taken the wrong dishes to the wrong people, you come in half an hour late every day, and you are standing here talking to employees who are trying their hardest when you are supposed to be working". Sonny and Casper's boss George Nessa said. "Mr. Nessa which one of us were you addressing"? Casper asked nervously.  "Don't be so absurd; you're employee of the month Casper, leave now Sonny". George pointed to the exit. Casper suddenly felt a burst of confidence. "If he goes then I go". Casper said. "Like he said don't be absurd Casper, you have a wife and an unborn child to provide for, I'll take Tamara and get out of here, clean out my cubby for me please". Sonny hugged Casper and shoved his apron into George's arms. Tamara's ankle was injured so when Sonny returned to the staff washroom she was still lying on the cold linoleum floor. "There's something wrong with my ankle, I limped my way here". Tamara told him. Sonny picked her up from the back of her legs and held her gently inn his arms. He kicked the door open. Tamara smiled and wrapped her arms around him. "I'll take youto the hospital". He said. "Please don't; they'll phone my stepfather and he'll take me home". Tamara said. Sonny sighed. "My Mom's still at work so I'll try and get her in the morning, she's a doctor; let's go to my apartment, I live fifteen minutes away so I don't have a car". Sonny kicked the swinging door open. "Thank you so much". Tamara said. "You're welcome, there were five waiters working today and you beg for my help; why"? Sonny asked. "I guess out of all the people there you looked the most warm and trustworthy". Tamara replied. Twenty minutes later he arrived at his apartment. "I live with my room mates Ritchie and Milo; they're great". Sonny said. Sonny kicked his apartment door repeatedly. A young man with long red hair and a face covered in zits answered the door. "Who's the hottie"? Ritchie asked. "This is my new friend Tamara; she 's staying with us for a while, don't bother her". Sonny laid her down on his bed. "I'll take the couch tonight; you can sleep here". Sonny said kindly. "Where'd she come from anyways"? Ritchie asked. "She was in alot of trouble so she's with us now; that's all you need to know". Sonny snapped. "Grouchy much; who's the babe"? Milo asked. Milo had short black hair, was nineteen, slim and always smelled of smoke."Her name's Tamara, I need you to go into the kitchen and grab me the stretchy bandage thing for her ankle". Sonny said. Milo walked into the kitchen and came back with a gigantic first aid kit. "Thanks, Tamara this is my other room mate Milo; he's on his way to becoming a lawyer". Sonny said as he started to wrap her ankle. "Can I get a minute alone with her please; I need to talk to her about some stuff". Sonny said. "Sure; you make out with her, we're gonna go meet Carrie and Sharon". Ritchie said. Sonny rolled his eyes. Ritchie and Milo left. "Tamara does your Mom know that your step dad did this to you"? Sonny asked. "She never believes me". Tamara replied sadly. "Well you've already been gone for two hours so you should call your Mom and tell her what happened, I'll be in the living room". Sonny said. "I'm scared". Tamara whispered. "It'll be okay, you're welcome to stay here as long as you want but you have to take one last attempt to your Mom; I'll be right outside". Sonny patted her shoulder and stepped out of the bedroom. "Mom, I have to tell you something about Nigel". Tamara said apprehensively. "Nigel said you ran away from him while he was talking to you; I thought I taught you to be decent kind; Nigel loves you so why are you being such a trouble maker"? Tamara's mother Emily asked. "He hurt me Mom; believe me, I'm your daughter, he pushed me in front of a cab"! Tamara exclaimed. "I don't believe you; I don't want you under my roof anymore". Emily hung up. Tamara picked up Sonny's pillow and screamed into it. "Didn't go so well huh"? Sonny asked. "She didn't believe me and she kicked me out".
