    ... he could towards community college but it was to no avail.
    
    Late in the night, his father, Jeremy Hayes decided to raid his closet and take his stash of money to spend on gambling and booze. It broke Ezra's heart but one hard strike to his ribs kept him from speaking up any further. He cowered in his bed, afraid, hurt and confused. He prayed for the day he could escape his hell. He could barely provide enough time, energy and money to keep his dad and he afloat. There was just so much debt and one person worked while the other squandered his disability checks on his addictions.
    
    It was stressful but Ezra still put his best foot forward every morning regardless of the circumstances. Once he was able to get a break from packaging his 4th batch of cupcakes that day, he wiped his hands on a towel and shook off the flour from his yellow apron. He was covered in work and was surely ready to go home to take a shower. As soon as his hands were cleaned, he reached into his pocket grabbing his android phone, it was all he could afford with his current paycheck, especially with no help from his father.

Mr. Hayes was verbally abusive as well, belittling any of Ezra's efforts to support their household. He felt guilty for Ms. Hayes's death, having often fought with her and introduced her to drugs and alcohol, this being something Ezra saw often. Ezra closed his phone before shoving it in his pocket, "almost time to clock out" he thought before pushing through the double doors, exiting the breakroom. As soon as he reappeared in the kitchen area, his name was being called.
    
    "Ezra Honey! "Kathy hollered.
    
    He shrank back at the volume, it startled him so bad he clutched his shirt. Realizing his only support system needed him, he appeared in front of her. She looked at him with her sharp blue eyes. "I need you to serve one last customer before you leave today." she informed him. He nodded in response, not needing much to say but simply being obedient. He was good at that. "I have to leave as well, I got a call from my baby's school asking to meet, talking about how she cut some girl's hair off." she explained, clearly frustrated at the situation and having to leave work in the middle of a busy day.
