Alyssa remained quiet for a few moments, not knowing what to say. She wasn't going to change her mind and give up her hard earned money or ask them for anything.
She was rushing to get a job because she was running out of money in the first place. Why would she hemorrhage even more money before she got the position? Or be indebted to them?
"I have to go," Alyssa finally said. She figured there was nothing else to say. She wasn't giving them money, and that was the only reason why they called her in the first place.
She knew that this wouldn't be the last instance of them doing this either.
"You're selfish," her mother hissed.
Alyssa hung up and tossed her phone on her bed. She shook her trembling hands, attempting to calm herself down.
There was so much that she wanted to pick up the phone and say to them, so many unspoken words she never said.
She knew that nothing good would come out of her saying them, though. She might as well keep them to herself.
