Brooklyn Jade's Story

Ace..

Brooklyn's POV

  I sat on the old dusty bed and just cried. This was the worst place I had ever stayed. People were shouting all around my room, the lights were dim, and the bathroom smelled of pee. I hated it. I missed my nice comfy bed.. I missed my clean apartment. but I didn't miss those jerks.

                            *2 weeks later*

  It's been two weeks since the incident and I'm starting to warm up to being alone. I guess it's really not that bad. I mean the hotel I'm in sucks but Tony is really nice to me and keeps me protected from the dope heads around the place.

   I had to quit my job at the clothing store because I couldn't stand to be around Katie.

    I ended up getting a job as a server in a restaurant. I had no experience what so ever but the owners were super sweet after I explained my situation. It's actually not a bad job. I make great tips and it's on a better side of town.

  I made my way downstairs to the lobby to pay Tony for another week but he wasn't there.. But that was ok, I'll just have to pay him when I get back from my night shift.

   I had to take the bus to work but I didn't mind it at all. I just popped my headphones in and was there in no time.

   The night seemed to drag out but it was around 10:00 so it was finally almost time to close. As soon as the last table walked out another group of guys walked in. Damn it..

  "I got it.." I told Maryann.
Maryann is an older woman around her 50's. I knew she was tired because she had to pull a double so I took it for her.
  "Thank you hun. My dogs are killn me. Just be careful, those guys come in here all the time and they can get rowdy plus they like to stay late."
  "Damn.. ok no problem. You get home and get some rest."
  "Alright hun see ya." She said walking out.

  "Hey guys can I get you started on some drinks?"
  "Yea some whisky baby cakes, the whole bottle and make it snappy."
