Ace P.O.V.
That morning I woke up deciding to make myself breakfast this morning. Wrong choice. When I went downstairs my dad was drunk. I checked my watch. SHIT. It was 2 a.m. My dad must have heard me because he called me over.
"You! Get me some pain killers and water now!" Maverick yelled at me. I just wanted to go back to bed. I quietly went back up stairs. Again wrong choice. He ran over and grabbed my leg, pulling me down the stairs. He took his fist and punched me right in the knee cap. I heard a sickening crack from my bone. He let me go, muttering to himself about how ignorant kids were. Rude.
I limped, (more like crawled) back up the stairs. Going in to the bathroom and scouring for the first aid kit I found it. I took my knee ready for the immense pain I knew I was about to go through. I popped my knee back it place, then wrapping the gauze around it. Finding my knee brace I slipped it on. I went back to my bed and tried to go to sleep. It wasn't hard.
The next morning I woke up and made sure it was morning this time, I checked my watch, 6:39. I went and got dressed this time wearing a ACDC hoodie. I tried to walk. Well... shit. I can't walk and I'm not taking my car. I don't like using my car a lot because it increases the chance of me crashing it. I decided to walk, and I had a feeling that I was going to regret it. Hello pain, goodbye any self pride I had.
I walked into the cafe and said morning. Katie replied as she usually does and hands me my coffee. Luckly she didn't notice my limp and got to work. I thought about the man. Judd as I called him. I pull out a stool and got eggs, flour sugar, anything I would need to make the goods. Katie comes in to grab the stuff and eyes me suspiciously. She notices I'm on a stool which is weird because I don't like sitting down. She looks at me one more time then leaves.
Half way through the day the man comes in again. He's in more casual clothes and no bodyguards. I wonder if he's a singer or actor or something. Then I realize I would know who he was, given I've listened to every song, and watched every movie. He looks at me and I realize he checking me out. I blush and quickly go back into the room. Holy shit. He made me blush. By looking at me. Lord what did I get myself into.
I look out it's a slow day given it's a Tuesday. I sit for a while just looking out the window. I check my watch noticing I kinda hungry. 2:14. I should've eaten like two hours ago! I grab one of the sandwiches I made earlier. I savor the amazing flavor before taking another bite. After eating I get back to work thankful the long day is almost over. Katie comes in grinning like a mad man.
"Check your phone" she says grinning even more.
"Katie, stop, your scaring me" I joke as I pull out my phone checking it. Seeing as someone sent me a text, I open it. 'Is this Ace?' the text states. I glare at Katie. I text back saying 'Yea who is dis' waiting for the person to text me back. 'Dis' the person mocks me 'Is that guy with the bodyguards? Remember?' Not helping what I say I reply 'JUDD?!' And send it.
Me and Liam as he told me talked before I told him I had to get back to work.
"What the hell?!" I yelled at Katie after I was done. This girl was about to get it.
"He wanted your number" she shrugs like it's nothing.
"Katie I don't even know the dude!"
"Just, look you haven't had a boyfriend-" I cut her off
"Don't say his name" I said viciously. "How do you know he's gay?" I shot back. Hah!
"He told me" she says nonchalantly. Shit.
"Just try okay?" She looks at me. Damn it.
"Fiiiiine" I groan out.
"Yay" She yells.
We get back to work. I don't use the stool because it doesn't hurt as bad anymore. 4:47. Almost there. I roll out the dough for the mini pies.
After a while, I'm done. I close the shops I take, two three steps, then guess what? My leg gives out. I check my phone. Dead. I look around. No one. I look at the alley way. It looks real promising the voice in my head mocks me. Yeah it does, I shot back. I crawl over finding a box. I lay down, staring at the stars. It doesn't take long even in a box, for the darkness of sleep to over take me.
