Xavier's point of view;
I had to leave around 1 because I still needed a good nights rest. Can't go to work cranky.
I'm so excited.

By the last 30 minutes of my shifted I had done all their training. Which consisted of drawing sketches of what people wanted through out the day, tattoo a doll, tattoo something on Joe. Their human dummy. I was more than ready.
Eddie came in looking kind of lost."Xavier, can you do me?"
I look at my boss and he gives me the okay by nodding at me. Eddie comes over to my station and sits in the chair while I set up.
"Don't sue me for not making you sign a waiver"
He laughed small "I got you"
"What do you want?"
"My sisters full name with the crown emoji and Dolphin emoji next to it." He drew it out for me;
Kennedy Rayann
Costello👑🐬
"She likes Dolphins... She's the best big sister. Her birthday is on Thursday" that's cute.
"Where do you want it?"
"Right here" he took off his shirt and pointed to his forearm. I saw he had another females name on his chest. Most likely his mom because her name was Rayann. I also saw he started his sleeve at his shoulder.
"And I thought you were a little virgin" I smirk
"Far from it"
I began with the K and he went on his phone. "Your sister.. She's gay isn't she?"
"Yeah. Is it noticeable?"
"A little bit. Skateboarding and the way she keeps her hair"
I nod"yup. She's been a tomboy since diapers"
"Why doesn't she go to Roosevelt High?"
"I send her to our Rival school across town. It's better over there. Better kids better environment better teachers"
"You sent her?"
"I'm her legal guardian. But after next week she will be coming to our school sadly. The commute is a bit difficult now that I'm doing Baseball and have a job now"
"I see"
His features were dark like his sister.. His eyes were brown though.
He put his hands behind his head and looked up at the ceiling.
"What's been up with you lately?" I boldly ask.
"... I paid for my girl to get an abortion 2 weeks ago.. And it's really fucking me up"
That's crazy...
"Sometime we do things we aren't proud of. But if it's all said and done you have to move on" I spoke calmly
He took a moment to reply"yeah. It was the better option"
"Does Kennedy know?"
"No. And I don't plan on telling her.. She will be so mad"
"... I'm sure she will but she knows something is the matter with you"
He shrugs "so where's your mom and dad?"
"No."
"What?"
"No personal questions"
"Fine. Why you so mean?"
"I'm not mean, I just like privacy"
"Yeah okay." He said in nonbelief
"I'm done anyway" I looked at my first tat in amazement. I did good. He got up and went to the mirror to check it out. His head nod was my sign of approval.
"Thanks man. Here" he gave me 60 bucks.
"When are you going to show her?"
"Her birthday party"
