Apprehensive (h.s. au)

Chapter 1

"Niall," I sighed, as he dropped the second plate of the night, "You know these plates cost money, man. You can't just drop them like they're nothing."

"Alright, listen. This is my first night working, what'd you expect?" He answered as he bent down to pick up the large pieces, leaving the smaller ones for the cleaning crew.

"I would expect you to not carry more than you can handle, especially since it is your first night."

"Well, not my fault I was scheduled on a friday night."

"Get use to it and say goodbye to your free time." I tell him with no sympathy as I cleaned up the bar which my rookie spilt beer all over.

As you can probably notice, it's training night here at the bar and it's not going well. All these nights do is leave most new workers uneducated and me, stressed.

"Bea." I hear my boss say and I look up to find him standing across from me at the bar, in between two customers. "How many times do I have to tell you- look around and make sure everyone is doing what they're supposed to be."

"As far as I'm concerned, John, that's not my job so go tell that to Brad." I mention his son, whose also my manager that doesn't do anything because his father clearly doesn't have the balls to fire him.

"You know what I mean; fix it." He states, while walking away.

I sigh, looking around to see Niall taking some drunk guys order, my rookie is taking his break, and the other waitress taking orders on the other side of the small building.

"Excuse me, sweetheart." I hear someone say but ignore it knowing they're talking to me but sadly I'm not in the mood to serve anyone at the moment.

I start to walk to the other side of the bar to grab a few glasses, thinking about how I should actually do my job, when suddenly someone grabs my arm with a tight hold stopping me from moving away.
