Broken but not shattered

Chapter 3

Siobhan's POV

"I'll take a gin and tonic," she said to Sara. With her order, she walks away and Siobhan's phone goes off. She looks at it and it's Roger calling. Technically she is still supposed to be at the nursery, and she knows Roger knows that. But she also knows if she doesn't answer there will be hell to pay when she gets home. She looks at the screen for a few. One second before thinking. Skew it and sent him to voicemail. Sara comes back with her drink and tries to strike up a conversation with the blonde. 

"So what brings you here alone? Aren't you normally here with that boyfriend of yours?" Sara asked. It almost sounded like she was flirting with her but that couldn't be right. So she just shrugged it off and responded.

"He's at home just needed some air after work," I said. Which was the truth just not the whole story, but she doesn't need the whole story.

"Oh, rough day at work? Do you want to tell me about it?" She continues, but I really just wanted to be left alone. And I know I'm not seeing things now she is flirting with me. I need to shut this down. "Look Sara I came here to get a drink. Alone" I emphasized the last word. She had a defeated look on her face when she walked away not that I care. My phone goes off again. No surprise it's Roger. Voicemail. I was there for a few hours.

It's now 10 pm, and I lost count of how many drinks I have had. I think it's better if I stop now I need to get home and face the wrath of Roger. I know tonight is going to be bad. He called me nine more times before I finally put my phone on silent so no telling how many times he has actually called. I call Sara and ask for my bill she hands it to me and as she does she asks "Do you want me to call a taxi for you?". I shook my head "No I'll be fine" raising my keys and slurring my words. 

Sara's POV

She can't be seriously thinking about driving in her state. "Absolutely not. I'm not letting you drive like this" I said as I took her keys from her. "And I don't feel comfortable dropping you in a taxi alone like this. So would you like me to call your boyfriend" I asked. She looked at me like a deer in the headlights before saying "No please don't call him".Why wouldn't she want me to call him?  That's not my problem. I know she works with Marjorie and Autumn so I'll just call one of them instead. 

"Hello, who is this" Marjorie answered the phone.

"Hi, this is Sara from the bar I got your number from Siobhan's phone," I explained. 

"Ok, why are you calling me at almost 11 at night?" She asked 

"Well Siobhan is too drunk to drive home, I don't feel comfortable leaving her in a taxi and she refuses to let me call her boyfriend. I knew you worked with her so I thought I would call one of you to come get her" I explained further.

"Ok I'll be right there don't let her leave," Marjorie said as I heard her grab her keys.

"I won't. See you soon" I hung up.

Marjorie's POV

I was so worried when Siobhan ran out like she did, but I just assumed she went home. Obviously not. As I drove down the road to the bar I grew increasingly more worried for the blonde. After seeing her neck and now this. Something is wrong and I'm almost positive I know what it is. I get to the Bar park right out front and run inside. I spot Siobhan immediately and run over to her. 

"Siobhan, are you alright my love?" I question but she is still too out of it to answer me. I look over to Sara "Thank you for calling me I'll take it from here"

"No problem, but you should know when I asked about her boyfriend she got a really scared look in her eyes" Sara explained. 

"Thank you I will look into it" and with that, I helped Siobhan to my car. We drove in silence for a while till Siobhan said "Thank you for coming and getting me"
