"Hey Bartender!" Someone yells from across the bar. I just opened the bar less than ten minutes ago and my usual's are already here.

We have the couple, Timmy and Tammy, those two have been together since the 60's. They love to come every night and have a drink, which is water and cheer all the drunk singing my favorite songs. Timmy was a veteran in Navy like my grandpa was, he was one of the nurses out before he was a nurse for the local hospital after he served. That's where he met Tammy, she's a retried nurse almost thirty-five before she decided she was done. They love to tell everyone their love story. 

Next is Roxanne, Roxanne is like a mom I never had, my mom died when she had me. I know it's sad. Of course I miss my mom but I never knew her unless my dad told me stories about her. Also Roxanne was my mom best friend. You can call her my guardian angel, I guess. 

Don't get me started with Peter, he loves to hit on everyone who walks in here. Drunk or not. He thinks he's smooth but he's not. His in his late twenty's and think he can- I'm not even going to finish that, he is sweet after his like tenth drink or so.

I gave my usual's their drinks before walking over to a female from across the bar. She has blonde hair and maybe blue eyes, the lighting in here sucks. I should probably fix that. She looks so nervous as my hands hit the bar table. She held her heart looking up at me. 

"I'm so sorry-" 

"I-it's okay. M-may I have a drink?" she asked, looking for something. 

"Sure, but I have to see some id first. It's the law and yeah. You must be new here right? I haven't seen you before. Pretty much everyone in town comes here once or two a week." 

"Mmhm, I just moved here about a week ago. Oh here's my id." she said, handing it to me. 

"Jasmine? I like your name but you're not old enough yet for a drink. Your birthday soon-" I said as she takes her id back. "Sorry-" 

"I-it's cool. Sorry, I just really don't know you yet and-" 

"It's fine. I'm so use to knowing everyone by now, it's- weird. I'm Zoey by the way. I own this place. Karaoke Karaoke! Yeah I need to work on the name still." I giggle, grabbing a cup, filling it with ice and water, handing it to Jasmine. 

"You own this place? How?" Jasmine ask, thanking me for the water. 

"Like you, I don't tell people I don't know-" 

"It's her father!!" Tammy yelled. 

"Thank you Tammy!!" I laugh. 

"Anytime sweetheart!!" she replied. 

"Tammy has really good earring aids. It used to be my dads-" 

"Oh did he died?" 

"Gosh no. Sometimes I wish. He moved out of this small town with his new wife almost six years ago. Anyway sorry for saying sorry so much, it's kind of my thing." 

"It's kind of my to, sometimes. What time do you close?" Jasmine says, placing her keys down. 

"Opens at-" 

"Nine p.m to four a.m!!" Peter said, running over, taking the spot beside Jasmine. 

"Thank you Peter." I took his drink sighing. 

"You're welcome beautiful. How about one more drink?" he said smirking. 

"I just opened and it's your sixth one. So no and go back to your spot. Don't you dare hit on her Peter. I will break your arm this time."  I glance over at him. 

"Fine!" Peter groan going back over to his seat. 

"Do you ever sleep?" 

"If Tammy and Timmy let me." I leaned in by Jasmine. "They are kind of wild animals. Can't let them out of my sight." 

"I heard that Zoey!" Tammy said laughing. 

"Told you. I have to go check on other customers. I'll check on you in a little bit. Oh and one more thing. Welcome to May Town, I think you're going to like it here."
