Journal 4 & 5

On her first hour out she got a job at Mario Mellani's shop.  Mr. Mellani was like a father to Alice and he had already invited her and Chris to have dinner with him and his family. He would always come to work and shares his lunch with Alice everyday, it shows how nice of a man Mr. Mellani is. Alice tripped pit when she went to dinner with Mr. Mellani because their family were like Italian families, his wife was cooking food she hasn't had before and the kids crawled all over them including the big kids. The seventeen year old was going on a field trip and he kissed Mr. Mellani and hugged him. That was an loving experience for her and she felt a bit more lonely. After work the next day one of their friends Shelia invited them to her on Saturday night after work. They were kind of worried on what to wear and at the same time they didn't wanna spend any money on things they don't need to be spent on. They had fun at the party doing adult things, and at that party she smelt something and while she was trying to find out what it was, a joint was passed to her. They were soon invited to a next party at Shelia's house again. That night they were introduce to heroin by Shelia's ex boyfriend. After a while she realized that she was raped. Her and Chris left that place went looking for new jobs and be far away from Shelia. They sure did miss Mr. Mellani. They found an apartment close to Berkeley which was then a commercial district. Ever since then they been working twenty hours a day.
