Mystery Goth Girl

Eight

London and Nicholai's Dad^^
London's pov
I wake up the next morning and see my brother asleep on the floor still, Christ, last night sucked, I'm glad he was home. I get up and have a quick shower before putting on my cream work shirt, black pants and black combat boots before brushing my hair, putting it up in a bun and deciding on putting on my new blue wig. I do my dark make up as always, and put my new blue hair into a side fishtail braid. Making sure my scar is covered from everyone's eyes, I grab my phone, keys and wake up Nic.
"Nic I'm heading off to work now, thought I'd let you know."
"I'll take you, give me five minutes." He gets up and goes to his room, why can boys be ready in five minutes and be done? It's not fair.
"Come on, Lon, let's go." He calls to me from down stairs and I head to his car. I know he will pick me up as well so I stay quiet for a short time.
"Thank you for last night, Nic." I whisper.
"You don't need to thank me, sis. I love you and will always help. Oh yeh, get out of work quickly today, we are picking up Dad from the airport. He will want to sleep for a bit." I nod, I can't wait to see Daddy. At least I have something to motivate me for having a good day. I kiss Nic on the cheek before getting out of the car and going inside.
"Afternoon, Jamie!" I call to my boss to let him know I'm hear.
"Afternoon, help the newbies with the tables today sugar." He calls back, he always calls me sugar because on my first day I put salt in the coffees instead of sugar. Oops. Wait newbies? So once they learn I can work in the kitchen? Yes.
"Hey, Goth." What? Why are they-oh yeh, the smashed items.

Ty and I are cleaning the tables for the afternoon hours starting in ten minutes.
"Afternoon, Jamie!" I turn to see Goth, but with bright blue hair, maybe Ty and I can apologise for yesterday.
"Afternoon, help the newbies with the tables today sugar." Jamie our new boss calls back. Sugar? Why on earth does he call her sugar?
"Hey, Goth." Ty says lowly.
"Oh, yeh the smashed items. Hey," she doesn't seem pleased to see us. She goes into the back to get her apron, name tag and note pad I assume. When she comes out I keep my eyes on her.
"Goth, we are sorry about yesterday morning. It was just a stupid prank." She nods at me and Ty and gets us to follow her to the back tables.
"You seem bright today sugar, nice hair too." Jamie smiles at her, I guess she has worked here for some time now.
"Yeh well, Dad is coming home today, Nic and I pick him up from the airport after my shift." She says excitedly. Jamie's eye light up.
"So he finally coming home for a bit eh?" She nods, she looks adorable, like a little girl at Christmas. She shows us around quickly then puts the open sign up, by the look of it, it's going to be a slow day.

Man I was wrong when I said it would be a slow day, it was for about an hour, then at about one, all hell broke lose and heaps of people flowed in. I've only ever been in here after school some days, but weekends seem full on. How does Goth make it seem so easy? I notice she keeps looking at her watch when she gets the chance.
"Hey, Goth?" I go up to her at the counter, "why do you keep looking at your watch?"
"My shift ends at five, I can't help close up today, I get to see my Dad." Her smile seems brighter than ever and real, for once.
"Don't you see him a bit though? I mean Friday night you-"
"Look Seth, I said that so Tyler's Mom wouldn't panic. They work overseas a lot, expanding their company. I have to get back to waiting tables." She says quickly and speed walks away from me. She lied to Anette to make sure she wouldn't stress? Not even Ty does that. She acts Goth and nasty but I think she's just been hurt, I mean, when she's with her group she seems great. At least now with her blue hair she will be easy to spot at the masquerade prom.

Why did I tell him that? Maybe I'm just saying things out of frustration with him, I've avoided Tyler, he seems like, with me answering one question, the type of guy to figure me out entirely. I look at my watch again, only forty five minutes before I get to leave and pick up Dad. I feel like I'm six again and it's Christmas morning. Amy and her sluts walk in just after Tally showed up for her shift, damn, this is going to make these next forty five minutes go slow.
"Lon, can you please take their table, after what Amy did I really don't want to see her." I sigh, poor Tally. Amy is the reason her last boyfriend before Ryan treated her so poorly and then cheated on her. Only Ryan, Meily and myself know the full extent of the story, she knew her family would do something legally and she didn't want that attention.
"Of course I can, Tally. Anything for you love," she hugs me, they always sit in her section waiting for the day she has to wait on them.
This is one of the thousand reasons I love you Lon," I smile. I take my note pad and plaster another smile on my face before heading over to her table.
"Goth, I'll take that table," Tyler comes up to me. I nod at him gratefully and see Seth behind him smiling. It's weird having these two around so often now, it's like they want to be in my life. Ugh what a long life it'll be if they chose that, at least it won't be too boring.
