Alexander drove around, with no goal in mind. He was trying to calm himself and as he turned the corner, he saw a bar. He had his fake ID and felt like a few drinks would help calm him down. He knew drinking wouldn't solve his problem but it was a good way to forget everything that happened for a while. So he parked and walked in. It was a nice little place. The bar was full of different bottles and it was pretty full since it was as Friday night. Mostly guys were there and he could see why, the waitresses wore miniskirts and crop tops with low plunging necklines. He went to the bar and ordered a beer and a few shots of vodka. He drank the shots at the bar and brought his beer to a free table that was in the back corner of the room.

He sipped his beer and soon, the effect of the shots were starting to be felt. His vision was less focus and the room was spinning a little. He saw a waitress move between the tables, taking an orders and clearing the empty bottles. He waved at her to get her attention. She turned and for some reason she looked surprised to see him. Was it someone her knew? What's that why she seemed familiar? Damn, then she probably knew he wasn't 19 yet. But if she knew him, then what was she doing here? But who was she? Her black hair was pulled into a messy bun and she wore smokey eye makeup. He found her face familiar but couldn't remember where he saw her. Before he could ask her anything she went back behind the bar and went in the back, probably to hide. He tried to get up and go to the bar to order another beer, but his balance wasn't good enough and he fell, face flat on the ground. He heard laughs and saw another waitress try and get him up. She sat him and gave him a glass of water. He stayed there and chugged the water.

After a few glasses of water, maybe an hour had past, his mind started to clear up and he was able to walk to the washrooms. He looked at himself in the mirror and saw that he looked pretty bad. There was still a faint sign of the bruise he had gotten at the beginning of the week but it was slowly fading. His thoughts wandered to the waitress he had seen when drunk. She didn't come back out and he was sure that if he saw her now, he would be able to figure out who she was. So he left the washroom and walked to the bar. He paid his drinks and asked the waitress that got him water where the other one was. She looked at him and told him that she was gone, since there was an emergency at home and went back to pouring people their drinks. Knowing he wouldn't get anything else, he left and called Ryan to come and pick him up.

As he was in Ryan's car, he swore to go back and try and find out who the girl was.

Luna had been hiding in the back, helping in the kitchen. What were the odds of Alexander coming to this bar? And How did he get in? He wasn't 19 yet. Then again, neither was she. She prayed for him to have been too drunk to recognized her. She had frozen when she saw him and had told Samantha to cover for her.

She heard him ask about her before leaving and was so happy Samantha had covered for her. She knew that if Alexander knew that she worked here, he would tell everyone and then, she could say goodbye to her scholarship and her life always from Helena and Pricilla.

When Alexander left in a car, Samantha came to tell Luna that she could come out again. Luna got back to waiting on the tables and the rest of the night was spent without any incidents. But she knew that she would have to take a break from work since she couldn't risk being sported again.

When she got home, she slipped to her room and couldn't fall asleep. Hopefully Alexander didn't recognize her and she could keep all of it a secret. Samantha was going to cover her shifts for a while and if Alex ever came back, she would tell him that she was still held with her family emergency and that she didn't know when she would be back. Plus, he shouldn't be able to come back since now Mark knew he was underage. Mark wasn't a very tough bouncer. He was really nice to the girls that worked at the bar, and had a friendly personality. He was well liked by the usual clients too, and Luna knew that he wouldn't let Alex come back an bother her. Yet she didn't want to risk getting caught. Eventually she fell asleep and had a dreamless sleep.
