At 3 pm, I gather my things and then look at my sister. "I have to leave soon. Will you be alright until your brother gets here?"
She nods. "I'm a big girl now. I don't need Nate and you here all the time."
I laugh. "Of course you do. What would you do here without us?"
She pulls a book out from behind her bed. "I like to read at times, but you like to talk a lot."
I shake my head. "You've never complained before."
"You haven't been around that much to complain to." She says laughing.
I hug her. "I'll see you after work." I pick up my handbag and exit the room.
She waves at me and I make my way out of the hospital.
I climb into my car and head home.
At home I go through my closet and pull out a tight black dress. I place it on the bed and then head to the bathroom. I turn the shower on and step in.
I wash my hair and body.
After the shower I wrap a towel around my head and another around my body. I walk into the bedroom and put on a black matching pair of underwear. I pull the dress over my head and pull it down, just in case it catches somewhere. I put my feet into a pair of black ballet flats. Walking over to the vanity I pick up the brush and brush my hair. I put my hair into a ponytail and then lightly apply make-up.

I pull my car into the parking lot of Lusive.
A bouncer looks at me. "You're the new bartender, right?"
"Yes, I am."
He opens the door for me. "I'm Ethan. My brother Alex is in there somewhere you might meet him tonight. Have a good shift." As I pass him, he whispers. "You look great in the dress." He winks at me.
"Thanks," my face starts to heat up. "I'll see you later, Ethan." I enter the bar and loud music is pumping throughout the room.
At the bar Max looks up from serving his customer. "Well if it isn't the new bar wench."
"Ha, ha, ha." I say sarcastically. "It's not like I haven't heard that one before. Where can I put my stuff?"
Jai approaches the bar and he looks me over and he smiles. "You look great." He whispers in my ear, and it makes me jump. He puts his arm around my shoulder. "Before, you start I need you to come upstairs and fill out some forms."
I follow him up to the office and he sits behind his desk.
He pulls out some papers. "I need some identification as well."
I pull out drivers licence and realise that it still has my old address on it.
I forgot to change it. I hope that he'll accept it.
He takes the licence from me and he looks it over. "I see you haven't had a chance to change the address yet."
I forgot to have it changed. I'll have do it during the week.
"I'll have to change it during the week. Does it matter about my address?"
He looks up from the printer. "Your address isn't important. All I need from you is an Emergency Contact Person."
The only person I can think of is my brother. He's one of the remaining Knight family members left alive. The rest of my family have been killed. That's what my parents told me when I asked her about other family members.
