chapter 10

I walk into the kitchen when I bump right into another waitress and spill the glasses of water she's holding."oh I'm so sorry" I rush out an quickly help her clean up the mess and cut my finger. I whince and she pulls a bandaid out of her pocket an begins to open it. "rough first day she asks concerned. I nod my eye fighting back tears. "you could say that" she puts the bandaid on my finger. "Hey I was planning on going to get a few drinks tonight want to join me" she offers. "you could ask any one but you ask me l, why" I ask confused. "because you look like you could use a friend" she smiles sweetly at me. "sure, I'd like that" I say. she helps me up and I finish my shift without any other thoughts. "Hey want a ride she asks after taking out the garbage and locking up. "Sure" I say and get into her card when we get to the bar she takes down her short straight hair and takes her white shirt off to reveal shes wearing a beige crop top underneath."here" she says and takes down my hair and then untucks my shirt and ties a knot of the side to make it more causal instead of formal. "I'm lacey by the way" she introduces herself.

"I'm Harper Montgomery nice to meet you" I reply. We head to the entrance when my phone vibrates. I check it and it's Carter.

Carter: where are you?

Harper: out with a waitress from work, dont wait up.

Carter: out where?

Harper: the bar down the street called the dot.

Carter: what time do you want me to pick you up?

Harper: I'll get Lacey to take me home, got to go

I put my cell away and we go into the bar and sit down she orders a bloody ceaser and I take a voldka and 7 up. We drink and it doesn't take me long to feel the affects as the tension leaves my body and I feel warm and fuzzy. "Hey let's go dance she says and we go and dance to dua Lipa. I smile and let go and for the first time not thinking about anything. "it's about 12 am when she takes me home she called a cab. " This was so much fun" she says giggling and I giggle back staggering abit out of the car. "Thank you I needed that" I say and she waves and I approach our appartment. I slid off my heels at the door and softly try to sneak to my room when Carter turns on the light and gets off the couch and comes toward me. "How did you get home" get asks. " We took a cab" I say slowly trying not to studder. He looks me over and I cant contain a giggle from feeling uneasy. "oh my God you drunk" he says surprised.
