Chalice: Chapter 4

10:22 pm Friday, March 25, 1455. I just clocked out, And I noticed the person that tried to sit with me earlier on break. He then walks up to me and hands me a hundred bucks and says “ I know you didn't serve me but I happened to notice not many of your customers left you a tip and I believe you deserve a tip. It's the least you can get for being forced to show off your body, and dealing with them for a small paycheck.” I take the money from him and say “thanks for the help”
I go out to my car really worried about why my day is going so well. I just know something bad is about to happen. I feel it, I just know. I start heading home, and on the way home. I get pulled over by the cops, and I start thinking “SHIT! FUCK! I Knew it this day was about to get horrible. Horrible, and I mean fast.
The thing about the cops and me is they always hit on me. I hate desperate guys because their women are never good enough for them, so they gotta aggravate me. Thinking I'm some kind of trophy. They don't truly love me. They only want my body. DAMN I HATE My Body!”

The cop knocks on my window. Throwing me out of my thoughts. I roll down the window, and say to the officer, “ hello sir. How can I help you? "" Oh nothing, I just don't normally see people on this road this late. What is a good looking girl like you doing at this hour?” The officer says to me. I tell the officer “I just got off work. I’m on my way home.” Ignoring the fact he is trying so hard to flirt with me thinking that's gonna work on me.

The officer then says “ well do you need some company to protect you. To make sure you make it home safe.” “ Ugh” I tell the officer “why don’t you do your job and actually try to do something about fixing this lawless, missable realm. That is a shithole and  will probably never change. Because of creeps like you that live only on sex.”

Cop: I'm the law you cannot speak to me like that.
Chalice: The law first off you just spoke to me like a person not someone at work.
Cop : It doesn't matter how I speak to you. You are supposed to give me respect.
Chalice: RESPECT! Bitch please I’ll never respect you.
Cop : I like you. I love feisty and hot women.
Chalice : What sick kink leave me alone.
I try to leave the cop pulls out a gun and says “ Bitch you aint going anywhere if you think you're leaving without me you are sadly mistaken.”
At that moment I was scared. I'm about to die or get raped. I turn my head because I hear someone else. I see the guy that just gave me a hundred dollar tip. He shoves the cop to the ground and says “look go do your damn job leave her alone she doesn't want pervs like you bothering her she's just trying to make it home and try to enjoy her day. You're not making it any better. Now go before I hurt you even more. You dont wanna see my power BITCH!”

I look at him thinking has he been there the whole time. I didn't see him there before. He then looks at me and says “don’t worry about me. go home.” The cop gets up and leaves acting like nothing just happened. I go home, and lay down and try to go to sleep.

Saturday, March 26, 1455.

I woke up at about noon. I started to get dressed for the day. I was off today, but I had nothing else better to do. I decided to go to my job so I could drink a bit. None of the people I normally work with are there today. I get in my car, and leave. I made it to the club, and went inside.

         I was drinking my drink at the bar. The guy from yesterday walks up to me and says “ hey do you mind if I sit with you. I promise I just want to be friendly and talk to you.” When I look at him I get this feeling that he is being sincere to me. I tell him “ sure why not. I rather sit here and have a real conversation with someone than sit here in silence.” He laughs, and sits down in the chair not next to me but one seat away being kinda close, but also keeping his distance. I tell him “ let me introduce myself, I'm Chalice.” “I'm Apollo. It's nice to meet you. I apologize for what happened last night. I feel like I should have warned you about that last night.”I look at him in confusion and say “ what do you mean by that.”

          He then says “ I'm Apollo god of prophecy, sun, and music, I can see the future I should have seen that coming. Yesterday I walked in here and I saw you. I was like damn. You don't belong here. You belong with everything you could ever want. You deserve to be happy. I saw how you dealt with all the customers. You took every flirt and insult like it didn't bother you. I saw you and I knew from then you are hard to get. You are so beautiful I feel like I need to turn up the sun so I can see you better. I just wish I could be the man to make you happy, and make all your dreams come true.”

         I start to blush thinking “ WHAT is going on Apollo the god there is no way. Apollo is in love with me. Is this real? Is this a dream? Am I going crazy? Is he just lying to me? Could this be a joke? Does he play this line to everyone?” Apollo cuts me out of thought saying “don't worry I'm not gonna force you to anything. I know you don't believe me, I'll prove it to you. Look into my eyes and get in my head, and you tell me who I am.”  I looked in his eyes and instantly noticed that he was not lying. My mind flooded with emotions. WTF Apollo the Apollo in love with me this Is insane. I can't believe it. What should I do?

        Apollo then says to me “don't worry I can stay calm I'm not gonna make you love me but I'm gonna ask for you to at least let me try to be a friend. You know get to know me outside of a god Of prophecy And music.”

          I get up and say ok cool see you later Apollo God of music. It's getting late. I have work tomorrow. I get in my car and start driving home. My favorite jams on the radio. Kinda Weird That Ever since I've met Apollo. The radio is filled with my Favorite songs.

          I make it home to my 2 bed apartment in the worst part of town but at least rent is cheap. I live alone. The second room I keep turned off from the world. My studio is in there. I'm trying to be a music artist. I don't even know what genre I am. It's kinda a battle not many people in this Realm appreciate music. I go into the studio room and I roll A blunt. That's the last I remember from that day.
