Love and Other Trouble {Shannon Leto}

chapter 44

*a few weeks later*

I was back home again, but still busy. Although I didn't had to do another job, I did it. I loved to entertain the people.
It was another night in the bar where I played some self-written and covered songs. The waitress Amanda just brought me another bottle of beer. It was the 2nd bottle so I still knew what I did. The door swung open and a group of people entered the bar. They weren't the normal guests we had here, they looked a bit like a Group of gangsters from the hoods. I couldn't help, but some faces were kinda familiar. I observed the people at the counter, but kept playing my songs. I got a weird feeling in my stomach, like something would happen. And like I knew it, the woman of the group started to yell at Amanda. Something like 'I wanted a beer, not Vodka' and stuff like that. I put my guitar away and went over to the counter. "Something's wrong here?" I stared at the woman. "No..." I nodded and was about to leave again. "Kayla?" I startled and turned around. "Yes?" "Hey it's me! Brandon!" My jaw dropped to the floor. Brandon was one of the guys, who pushed me into the drug addiction. I stepped away from them, still staring at them. "Hey Kayla, c'mon you know me!" I shook my head no. It couldn't be them. Pictures of my past popped up in my mind. I tried not to cry. "Kayla!" He started to yell. I had to run away, but my feet were glued to the floor underneath me. "We could hang out again." I stared at the woman. Now I knew who she was. Miranda! The girl who gave me the first joint. "No. No. No." I whispered over and over again. The started to fall, I tripped over a bar stool and fell. Right in that moment Shannon and Jared came in. "Kay?" Jay ran to me and knelt down. "Babe, are you okay?" Shannon helped me up to my feet. I looked back and forth between my boys and my past. I burst out in tears and ran out of the bar.
