My phone buzzes underneath me scaring the s**t out of me, snatching the sneaky device I pale as the caller ID registers.
"s**t" i had completely forgotten, glancing at the clock i see it's after 1pm meaning im late. Madly late
“H-hello"
Silence greets me. Double s**t
“Jonny i can explain.." I begin scrambling to my feet.
“Get your ass here Abby, Ben just arrived i had to lie that you had to take a break cause your asthma hit again." I cringed
“Thank you Jonny I'll be there in 10"
“Make it 5, and hurry. He's not in a good mood today" When was he ever. Hanging and driving off.Pulling up into the parking lot of the bar my hands are sweaty and shaking, i park, grab my things and make a dash for the front door. I spot Jonny at the bar counter and he jerks his thumb behind him telling me Ben was still in his office. I take in a deep breath of relief before approaching the bar.
“Made it just in time" He smirks
"Yeah"
"Your shirt is on backwards by the way" I gasp glancing down, sweet baby lord i was so much in a hurry i didn't even notice. I throw my head upwards and groan.
“I'll be in the bathroom"
“Take your time now that you're here"
“Thanks Jonny" I stare at my reflection in the bathroom mirror, my grey eyes were bloodshot and tired and my face was pretty rough due to stress. I was spent, i touch my bra length brown hair noticing how dry and coarse it felt, it had lost its natural wavy look, sighing i gather the strands and pull it into a ponytail to get it out of the way and changed my shirt. I take one more look at myself and decide it would be best not to look again. I step out of the bathroom and bump into a mass of flesh, the strong stench of whiskey and cigarettes hits me hard making me know who i just bumped into. I stifle a gasp and take two steps back looking up at Ben and boy is he pissed.
