It took me thirty minutes to get home. I raced out of the car, running up to the landlord's office. An argument was happening between Carly and the landlord. He was a middle-aged man who looked like he never showered, didnât know what personal space was, and looked like he took unethical forms of payment. I had only spoken to him twice when I moved in, and I made sure I stayed away from him.
âPlease, I need my things,â she snapped. âI⦠itâs for school, please.â
âLookâ¦â
âWhat the hell happened? I asked, getting to his door.
âNoemi!â Marsha yelled, throwing herself at me.
I grunted when she wrapped her arms around me, crying into my shoulder.
âYou are two months behind on rent and Iâm evicting you,â he said with a sneer.
âNo, weâve been paying Nela, there is no way in hell we are behind two months,â I said, rubbing Marsha on the back.
âNo, she hasnât paid me in two months, telling me you all were having a hard time.â He looked at me and then Carly. âIâve left notices on your door for two weeks. You were there for one of them.â
He pointed at Carly who turned red.
âShe said it was a mistake, I honestly didnât think anything of it when you started arguing.â She looked at me, helpless. âI was rushing to class, I really thought it was a mistake.â
âWhere the hell is Nela? Has anyone tried to call her?â
âSheâs not answering. It goes straight to voicemail. I called the diner she works at. They said she quit yesterday,â Carly said, making my blood go cold.
No, no, no!
âFuck,â I said, as Marsha pulled away from me.
âShe wasnât there when I got home last night,â Carly said, making me wonder if she bailed on us yesterday.
âCan you just give us a few days to figure something out, please,â I pleaded.
âNo, Iâm out four thousand dollars,â he said, looking me up and down. âI need to get that apartment filled so I can try to make the money back.â
âSo, that means we are only behind like a month and a half? What if Iâ¦â
âDidnât you hear what I said?â He interrupted me. âI said two months. Two thousand per month.â
I clenched my jaw as I realized Nela had been pocketing money from us for six months and even longer from Carly. This fucking bitch had played us.
âOk, fine, then let us get our things,â I said, thinking this was our only option.
âNo,â he snapped. âYou've been evicted and in our agreement it states that if I evict you, I get to keep whatever I deem is of value.â
âThat sounds like bullshit,â I snapped.
âIâll give you a copy of the agreement that has Nelaâs signature on it,â he said with a creepy smile.
Shit. Fuck. Goddammit.
âLook, they are both students, please just give us thirty minutes to get as much stuff as we can.â I tried to keep the anger out of my voice. âAfter that, whatever we leave is yours.â
âNo, Iâm not stupid, you will take everything of value.
