Her Savior

The Drink that began it all

Present day

I was saddened by remembering what had happened deciding that since I had never been out to a bar it would be nice to try drinking so, I walked a couple of blocks away to a bar called ‘pixie’s palace’ weird name for a bar as I went to walk in I was immediately stopped and asked for my ID so, I reached in my purse grabbing my wallet opening it to pull out my ID and showed them then I walked up to the bar and sat on one of the stools.

I looked at the man behind the bar who was asking what I wanted to drink so I replied “could you possibly surprise me?” I didn’t know what to drink “are you sure?” He asked in question “yes sir”

He handed me a glass and said “It’s tequila do you want something to wash it?” I looked at him before responding “no I think I can do this straight” I lied as I picked up the glass downing it and asking for another eventually my memory went blank.

I woke up the next day in some weird alleyway I was completely lost, I stood up slowly brushing the dirt off of me as I walk out the alleyway to see if I can find someone, I smacked into someone knocking both them and I over as I slowly started to get up I looked up seeing a broad shouldered man with hair sleeked back in his now ripped suit with his eyes fixed on me “I’m so sorry” I said as I got up off the man.

I brushed the dirt off him “are you alright?” He asked, “yeah I am” I replied as I put my hand out to help him up, he didn’t reach for my hand he got up on his own and then grabbed my shoulder turning me around before turning me back around

“what are you doing?” I asked completely lost “checking to make sure you’re alright” he replied calmly almost unfazed. “Oh um are we in Maryland by any chance?” He looks me in my eyes concerned “No this is New York love” love? Where’d he get that nickname from? “Are you lost?” He asked “yeah I don’t know how I got here” I replied looking around.

He was still looking at me completely concerned “do you need help getting home?” He asked, as I looked down reaching in my bag grabbing my wallet opening it and seeing that it was completely empty letting out a sigh as I put it back “I don’t have anywhere to stay” I replied finally, he bends down a little ways right before picking me up off my feet carrying me bridal style as he walks down the street.

“Where are we going?” I asked, “you’ll see soon. He continued walking for a couple of blocks before setting me down grabbing my hand gently guiding me into this big house he opens the door it smelled like cinnamon and apples as he took me upstairs I looked at how big his house was he had led me into a room then stopped.

“You can stay here if you’d like” he stated “but I don’t even know you or your name alone” I looked in his eyes replying, “it’s Jayden and yours princess?” He questioned “It’s Emily, why are you giving me a place to stay? You don’t even know me”, “are you just gonna continue asking me questions or are you gonna thank me for helping you?” He stated, he was right “Thank you”.

I sat on the corner of the bed looking at him as he pulls a chair sitting in it looking at me “are you gonna tell me how you wound up here in New York?” I looked in his eyes “well I honestly don’t know how I got here in New York last I knew I was in a bar drinking” he laughed at what I just said “so you got black out drunk and ended up here on a whim?” “Yeah, I guess you could say that” I laughed at how stupid it was “are you a lightweight drinker or what happened” I stopped laughing and fiddled with my fingers “actually it was my first time drinking” he laughed again “so you ended up in New York your first time drinking” I laughed a little about how stupid it was.

“Well get some rest because, tomorrow I’ll show you around the house and take you shopping for clothes and stuff you need alright princess?” He said, “yeah, oh uh could I possibly have help looking around for some jobs?” I asked, he got up and went the door “how about you rest first princess” he stated, I jumped up “I have no pajamas to wear” I looked at him, he walked out of the room and came back in with a shirt “I’m sorry but, I don’t have any women’s clothes you can borrow my shirt for the night if that is alright with you princess?” He asked, I grabbed the shirt from him “this is fine thank you so much” I sat on the bed and he looked at me.

“Well if you don’t mind I’m gonna go to bed” I stated “Good night princess” he said before leaving the room closing my door. I stood up taking off my shirt and bra sliding the shirt on as I unbuttoned my jeans sliding them off as well putting my clothes on the end of the bed grabbing my purse off the bed I reach inside to grab my phone and my phones charger as I take it out I look around for a outlet then I plugged my phone in, waiting for it to turn on as I wait I looked outside at the half moon in the sky looking back at my phone as it turned on I unlocked it seeing if anyone had texted but, the only person who had texted was Mrs.Rae.

I quickly opened the message and it had read “are you coming in today Emily?” I quickly replied “sorry an unfortunate turn of events took place so, I cannot work with you guys” I felt bad because she really looked out for me when I needed it most, I sat my phone on the bedside getting up turning off the light getting into the bed.
