Behind Bars

Chapter 1: The piano man

Go on, hit me back! I yelled.

I was not sorry. I could hear the sirens from the distance coming closer and closer and I just stared at him, doing nothing.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was on a ship with my girlfriend Rachel. We were walking around and trying to find where the cafeteria was. When we finally found it, we sat down for drinks and started to listen what the piano man had to offer. My sister was also on the cruise with her bestfriends and they sat down next to us, couple minutes later. The piano man was a young lad, who kept checking out my sister and couldn't keep his eyes off from her. I looked at him and gave him the "Whatcu looking at" look and he quickly looked away. Probably thought she was my girlfirend or something. I kissed Rachel and my sister yelled "Get a room". I laughed. Now the piano man had his eyes once again on my sister and my sister kept looking at him and blushing. I rolled my eyes. "Lets go" I said. "Where?" my sister asked. "To dance." I said and we left from the cafeteria.

-Yo. What the fuck. I laughed and drank from my drink.

We sat down next to the table and I was checking my phone. I went back to the bar and ordered everyone in my group a drink.

I was looking at the bartender and I was spinning my glass which was empty and heard a lady's voice saying "Hey cutie". I looked at her and gave her a confused look.

-Do we know each other? I asked.

-No, not yet at least. she laughed and leaned towards me.

-Heey. I have a girlfriend, back off. I laughed and took the drinks from the bartender.

She put her hand on top of mine and smiled at me.

-Are you hitting on my girlfriend? someone yelled.

-What? NO! She's the one who's flirting on me. I laughed. Not long ago I felt someones fist on my face and I fell down. I was so drunk and the last thing I heard was "Get up and fight!", until I passed out. When I woke up I was sitting by our table and my girlfriend was holding ice on my face.

-Holy shit. I chuckled. 

-Does it hurt honey? Rachel asked.

-Like a bitch. I said and took the bag of ice and put it on my cheek.

-Hi I'm Jesse Brown. I'm a guard, you're Mason right? he asked.

-Yes, why? I asked and looked at him.

-Could you tell me something about that fight? Why did he hit you, do you have any idea? he asked.

I told him about everything and laid down on the sofa.

-Why the fuck are you laying here? You too drunk? my sister laughed.

-Yes, that too. I laughed and looked at her.

-What the hell happened to your face? she asked and sat next to me and grabbed my face.

-He got in a fight with a dude, whos girlfriend was flirting with Mason. And he thought that Mason was flirting with her. So complicated. I laughed.

-Dont touch my face. I groaned in pain and turned around.

-We have to go back to the room, you're not passing out on this couch. Rachel laughed.
