I sigh as I get thrown onto the curb outside the bar.
She stands over me and says, "Who the **** was that? Your girlfriend? I thought I told you last time that you're mine now."
"Just stop this bull****. I know you think I killed your aunt but I swear to ****ing god, I didn't... just wait until Catherine comes back and we'll know."
"No. You took her and I'll take you. That's what you deserve. Besides, I hate Catherine. Why did Catherine get to spend more time with her before she passed away...?"
"She didn't die. She just left town... I've been trying to tell you that but-"
"Enough." She sighs. "I'll give you 2 days but I want an answer soon. Bye scum." She kicks me one time before walking off; leaving me lying on the sidewalk.
I order a drink and yawn loudly. "So... any hobbies?" I make idle chitchat, hoping to make the situation less awkward.
Maybe if she could just prove she's not the same person as before... I could forgive her? No, no. That was a bad thought. I can't forgive her. She's basically a murderer.
I get my drink and sip at it cautiously. "Uh... Do you come here often? ...Oh wait, you've never been to this town before, we're pirates." I internally facepalm.
I slowly stand back up and look down at my clothes. Better go to the employee's lounge to wash up... I walk back inside and walk past the bar area to the employee's lounge.
I change into a fresh uniform and examine myself in the mirror. Not too many visible scratches... I should be okay.
"Oh, so this is where you decided to run off and become a pirate?" I say, curiously. "Or is there some OTHER complicated story to that?" I start to get a little more comfortable, and smile slightly. Maybe it's the alcohol...
I bite my lip and look into the distance. "You could say that..."
Feeling more comfortable, I walk back to the bar area and take my place at the station. I walk over to Faye and another guy and ask, "Would either of you like another drink?"
