A/N: sorry i know its been a while i was camping for a week and now im at a precollege art camp so ive been busy to say the least :/ I also my first chapter of canonically mindless has to be out in 5 days which i havent started writing AND im nowhere near done with revisions on book 1 of that series.

" good morning quackity from las nevadas" I heard quietly as I stepped out from the confines of my room for the first time on my own

I silently headed to the bar: I didn't feel like talking.. too much work

" hey flatty Patty" said glatt wiping his hands on a dishrag as I sat down at the bar stool slumping low in my seat

" hey" I replied not even bothered by what he said. not even an insult of that stature was the worst of my issues

" hey um you alright there" asked schlatt with curiosity brewing. I mean I don't blame him. A week ago I was gung ho about making this place the best it could be but now I didn't even care.

" can I just have a Manhattan" I spoke with words drawn out in sorrow

" uhh sure thing" he replied

My drink was prepped and placed in front of me in a timely manner. A simple thanks sufficed as I began sipping on my drink at 11am .

Someone came up and sat on the seat to my left

" you want some good alcohol?" I asked Charlie holding up my Manhattan twords him before taking a gulp

" alcohol? I've never met her" he joked around

I didn't laugh though

" I uh no it doesn't work with my uh consistency.." he stumbled trying to explain

" ahh" I replied taking another sip

" so I uh-"

" Charlie, I'm sorry for how I treated you yesterday. you can ask, I did it to glatt too. I'm having relationship problems and my life's a mess but I shouldn't have blown up on you" I finally stated cutting him off

...

Water fountains came into my view as I tried to contain my anger approaching the entrance of the casino I called home

The best thing I could do is avoid people and head to bed and forget about my past but I knew subconsciously that glatt and Charlie would be in the casino and the likelyhood of me forgetting the love I had was close to impossible

But I didn't want to think about that so I entered the casino quietly and walked my way to to my room with speed

" quackity from las nevadas! how was your work oh I so badly wanted to help you! Glatt thought me some of the drinks and- oh.. are you-"

" shut up nobody fucking asked for your opinion you dirty grimy sad exuse of a slime get the hell away from me" I said as my eyes locked with his and I back him into the table

" I'm sorry sorry quackity your a great boss"

" I SAID SHUT UP YOU NEED TO LEARN TO LISTEN AND STOP BEING SUCH A GODAMN BABY"

With that the door to my room was slammed and the covers had been thrown a top me as I sat in eternal darkness wanting to disappear...

" I'm fine, you're a great boss but I wanted to talk to you!" He said still his chipper normal self

" oh uh sure" I replied taking the last gulp of my Manhattan

" another one?" Asked schlatt

" no just water pls- sorry" I replied before giving Charlie my full attention
