Don't Let Me Go (Book 1)

Chapter 18

MARIA'S POV

          Standing in front of the bathroom mirror. Thinking about what just happened. I watched the tears run down my cheeks. It has been three years since I last cried, even if I tried to cry, I couldn't. I used to think it was because I had run out of tiers or my heart had become stone that it could no longer break. But I was wrong, here I am, crying. that son of a bitch made these tears come back and I let it flow. '' Fuck '' I whispered Under my breath. I fucked up, I shouldn't have slapped Logan. I should have kept my cool and left. Only the lord knows what he would do to me. I have to be prepared for anything. But Still, I will never, forgive Logan. I will never forgive him for crossing the line. My first kiss was taken by a Jerk.

          '' Oh lord,'' I let out after a while of sobbing. I lift her head, blinking away the tears. '' What the fuck am I doing? '' Tring to control my emotions. I look back at my reflection in the mirror. My eyes were swollen and red. '' This is exactly what they want Maria '' Trying to put myself together. I have to go back to work and I can not go back looking like this.

     I Bent to the level of the sink and turned the water running. Washed my face several times, then tried to vomit the Alcohol in my system. I needed to sober up.

          Maria walked out of the ladies' room, 30 minutes later, carrying that fake smile she always carries. That smile that can deceive everyone and anyone. She smiled at everyone she walked past and made her way to the bar. '' Hi '' she greeted her college and he smiled in response

    '' You Good? '' with a concerned tone

    '' Yeah '' she nods '' Am Good '' They both went back to work. It wasn't up to half an Hour before Vanessa walked up to the counter with a serious face

    '' Miya '' she called

    '' Yes '' giving her superior all the attention.

    '' Come with me '' With that she began walking out. The tone she spoke in, told Maria something was off. What did she do wrong? Did those Jerks complain about her or what? Maria followed Vanessa out of the club, to the backyard. She felt a bit relieved to be out of that noise even if the noise from the club could still be heard from where they were standing, it was faint.

          Maria stands in front of her Vanessa with many thoughts in her head. '' Ma'am? '' she began the conversation

    '' What is this '' Vanessa suddenly displayed her Fake ID and a printed copy of her school ID. Instantly, her heart dropped to somewhere around her kneel. '' Maria?''

    '' I can explain '' Those were the dumbest words, to begin with, and she knew. What would she explain? It was already self-explanatory

    '' Explain what? '' Vanessa frowns '' how as a 17-year-old high school student, you faked an ID to come work at the club.. Probably because you need the money to support your family... Yeah... I have seen your type before ''

    '' Miss Vanessa ''

    '' Cut the bullshit, Miya.. '' she snapped. '' Your type is the type that does not care if your actions will get someone else into trouble... Do you know what will happen to me if The Big Boss finds out about this? '' Maria remained silent, she was wrong and she knew. Vanessa had every right to be upset with her. How the hell did Vanessa get a hold of her school ID in the first place? She knew where this was heading and she wasn't prepared to accept it '' I would Lose my Job Miya or Maria, whatever... I have a 6-year-old, in elementary school and this Job is very important to me

    '' I am Sorry Miss Vanessa '' Maria let out with all honesty in her tone '' I am sorry... I really am and I have no excuse '' her words silence Vanessa for a while. Vanessa didn't expect her to admit to her wrong actions so fast.
