"Thank you, really," I tell the older
woman, she smiles and nods her head.After taking me to the hospital
she offered to drive me wherever
I needed to go, and I accepted.As I said it's risky but I don't have
my phone and I don't really care.Now that I'm back at the bar I
have to explain why I didn't come
in for my shift today, or whyI didn't go back to her apartment,
basically my whole disappearance.
What do I say? I can't tell the truth.I hear the bell ring as I walk into
the bar, Wade looks up and smiles"Celine, you're back! Celeste
has been looking for you."
I smile and nod "Is she here?"I look around the bar before
looking back at him,
He nods and looks horrified "Why-
what's on you? What happened?!"He rushes around the bar
and I just watch in confusion.
Why is he freaking out?I couldn't have been gone for
more than a day. He keeps
terrifyingly looking at my body,
not sexually, but more in worry."What do you mean?" I say awkwardly,
I look down and see the blood on my
ripped clothing. Shit, I forgot about that.This isn't normal- well, not for normal
people. If I walked
into Marco's house like this- no one
would care, it's natural for the mafia."Oh- uh" great now I have to come
up with more excuses. "I just fell
and I've already been to the hospital""Are you sure? I can take you to the
hospital, Celine, It wouldn't be any
trouble." His words are very gently
and genuine,he acts like a a father figure to everyone
here and at first it made me
uncomfortable because I wasn't used to
this type of care, and I'm not completely
comfortable but I feel something."It's fine Wade, I promise I'm okay."
He pats my back and says "If you say so,
she's behind the bar downstairs."
I thank him and go down the staircase.The fight should've ended an hour
ago so hopefully, people left. I open
the door and see a crowd of people, dancing, yelling, and making out.As long as they leave me alone
and let me get to the bar it's none
of my concern.I see Celeste laughing as she
pours afew shots.
Drinking and serving them.She notices me and her smile fades
"Well look who it is!" I smile
even though she's clearly angry,
even when she's mad
she looks perfect. "Hear me out-"
