you and Hudson have been dating for a couple months now. He was kind enough to always pay for dates and food. If he didn’t… you wouldn’t be able to do anything with him. But he doesn’t know that. You barely invite him over, you prefer to go to him. You don’t want him to see that you’re struggling when he’s so well off in every way.

you worked late today. Overtime that will barely add any money onto the next paycheck. When you get home all you want is to eat. You ransack your cupboards and fridge but you have nothing but oats and an old tea that’s been sitting in there for four weeks. You sigh feeling tears sting your eyes. You just shower and go to bed quick so you stop thinking about your lack of food

Hudson wanted to take you out on a date Friday night. You got paid Friday… but rent was taken out of your account on Friday as well. And your car insurance. Student loans and your music subscription. Internet bill… You nervously checked your bank account and saw you had $37 to your name. $37 until your next paycheck in two weeks. The only money you have left to get gas for the next two weeks. You swallow back a sob and get ready for your date. Starving. You haven’t eaten in four days.

Hudson knocks on your apartment door. You plaster a painful smile on as you open the door just enough he can see you. You’ve never actually let him in to your apartment, scared of the emptiness that he’d see

Hi pretty.
