I stood looking in the mirror at myself, I was dressed in my work clothes and had my bag ready to go. Breana had messaged me saying she was leaving her and Matts house now to come to the pub.

I was so grateful that I had her in my life as well as the others as she's come out of her way to make sure I'm safe at work. She deserves the absolute world.

I unlocked my front door and headed off down the pathway. I took deep breaths and reassured myself there was a solid chance Josh wouldn't even show and he just said it to get under my skin.

I arrived at work and Michael put his thumb up at me, I grinned and put both my thumbs up sarcastically. He laughed as he carried on wiping the glasses.

I put my back in my locker and walked through to the bar and grabbed my apron and tied it round me.

"What times your shift till tonight?" Michael asked me as I grabbed a cloth and helped him clean the bar top.

"Ummm 9:30 tonight..yeah" I said.

"Lucky" he said whipping my leg with the towel I yelped and jumped backwards then laughed afterwards.

"I'm on till 10:15 tonight ughhhhh.." Mike said furrowing his eyebrows upwards.

I giggled and carried on cleaning. The front door to the bar swung open and my heart dropped to the floor. I looked up and exhaled and closed my eyes in relief.

Breana stood in Her black platformed Dr Martin boots, her denim shorts and a red plaid long-sleeved crop top tied into a bow at the bottom.

I beamed at her and she smirked slightly back at me. "I'll have a gin and tonic please Hun" she said sitting down on the stool at the bar In front of me. I grabbed a glass and made her the drink and slid it over to her.

"Any sign of the wanker yet?" She said glancing around the room.

"Nope. I'm just hoping he's forgotten the days I work" I said shaking my head slightly. Brea grabbed my hand over the counter and squeezed it gently. I looked up at her and smiled appreciatively.

"He's not gonna hurt you while I'm here okay? I swear this boots weigh a tonne so if he comes near you they are going straight into his crotch" Breana said lifting her leg up so I could see her boot.

I laughed and shook my head.

The door swung open again and in came 3 figures that just happened to be my worst nightmare.

Josh and two of his friends came strolling in looking around as if they owned the place...

"Oh fuck no" Breana said cracking her fingers and standing up.
