The Outcast Swan

One

"That's the third time in the last ten minutes" my boss Nathan looks at me, tonight is packed and Nathan decided to come out of the office tonight to help me serve drinks to the poor unfortunate fools who are here "if you want to take your break early"

"No" cutting him off "it's just Charlie"

"As in your birth father?" He asks serving an appletini to a red haired woman in a short sparkly dress "that Charlie?"

"The one and only" I grab the dirty martini and take it to a table filled with women who looks like their here for a bachelorette, handing the woman with a lip piercing the drink "it's from the gentleman over there" I motion to the guy with tattoos, walking away I get back to making drinks.

"Take it" he tells me when my phone rings again "I understand" I smile nodding my head. Nathan is a good boss, he's understanding and caring.

When I get outside I answer the phone I hear Charlie "finally" he says irritated "I've been calling"

"I've been busy" of course he would act like this, it's been the same bullshit from him for years "is there a reason you called?"

"Look" he cuts to the chase sounding tired "Bella is having a tough time, her boyfriend broke up with her"

"So everyone goes through breakups" I cross my arms cutting him off

"She was dumped in the woods miles from home and nearly died" he snaps "and that was months ago, so I'd appreciate it if you didn't act like a selfish person and come home to help Bella"

"I'm selfish?" I laugh "I would get into a fight with you but I'll cut to the chase, you don't even know me and as far as I'm concerned Bella is the selfish one and Forks was never my home" I soon hang up my phone and head back inside, as soon as I get back to work my phone rings again.

"Why is Charlie calling?" Nathan asks

"Isabella is going through a rough breakup" pouring two Red Devils for the best friends in front of me, turning to Nathan "Charlie expects me to drop my life and go help him and Isabella"

"A rough breakup?" Nathan asks "what are we talking, she knocked up and baby daddy left or was cheated on?"

"Neither" pouring a tray of tequila shots, then handing them to the guys in front of me "apparently months ago her boyfriend broke up with her in the woods"

"The woods?" He asks

"Yeah" nodding my head "I'm honestly surprised she even cares, since she was thirteen she's been sleeping around" I then think about Rowan and Crimson "you know my kids Rowan and Crimson?" He nods his head "when Isabella was fourteen she had Rowan and Crimson and put me as their birth mother"

"What?" He asks "so your four year olds, your sister had them and put you as the birth mother? Why?"

"She wanted Charlie, Renee and everyone to think I'm the slut while she's the perfect little virgin princess" I bitterly say "Renee and Charlie have made it so that Isabella got everything she wanted"

"Seriously?" He asks, he pours a shot and hands it to me "you seem like you need it" I take it and down it, feeling the burn in my throat. Then the phone to the club rings and Nathan answers it, turning to me he hands it to me "for you"

Groaning I take it and answer it "Lilith Marshall" someone asks for a red Pinot and I pour it, then I hear Charlie.

"Look can you please come here to Forks" Charlie begs "your sister needs you and what will it take?"

"One thousand dollars" I tell him

"Deal" he answers "I expect you here soon" he then hangs up, I hand the phone to Nathan.

"How long will you be gone?" Nathan asks

"No more than a week" I tell him "if longer I'll tell you" he nods his head.
