heart strings

It's Friday one of the busiest nights at Scarlett Widow.

"Hey October."

"Hey Jason."

"You ok you sound down."

"I broke up with Travis."

"Why?"

"He slept with one of my former best friend's oh and it was on my birthday."

"Are you fucking serious? Want me to kick his ass?"

"That's a very tempting offer. But no thanks Jason. I kind of just wanna forget he exists."

We both laugh.

"Are you going to the concert tomorrow night?"

"For Asylum?"

"Of course. You do have the DJ play an Asylum song at least once a night."

"Yeah. I have two front row tickets. They're my birthday present from Travis."

"Ouch I'm sorry babe."

"It's ok no biggie."

"Does you know who, know you're single again?"

"I don't think so but I know it won't be long until word gets around. I need a shot before I start tonight."

I grab a bottle of top shelf rum and pour a shot for Jason and I.

"Does Jeff know you do that?"

Great the one bitch that I can't stand.

"Hi Michelle and probably not."

"Well here he comes. Jeff I have to tell you something."

"What is it Michelle?"

"I just saw October pour her and Jason a shot of rum! Top shelf!"

"Michelle with the money October makes me in one night she's earned herself a case of that stuff!"

I just smile.

Michelle walks away all pissy.

"She's just pissed cause I won't bang her again. She was a shitty lay anyways."

Later that night it was getting packed. I had a couple guys that I was making drinks for when I spotted Travis.

I looked away back at the guys tossing a couple bottles making flaming drinks.

I pour there drinks and they stand up to clap.

"Thank you very much gentleman I'm here all night!"

"Here you go sweetheart."

I see them put a $100 in my tip skull. Instead of a jar I have a hollowed out skull.

"Hey Miss can I have a beer."

I turn around and it's Travis.

"Go away Travis."

"No we need to talk."

"No we don't. It's done. We're over so leave. I never want to see you again."

I see one of the bouncers walking by so I signal to him.

"Davis I need you to get rid of this person please."

"Isn't this your boyfriend?"

"Not anymore. He fucked my former best friend!"

I probably shouldn't of yelled that last part. But some of the customers turned around and started to boo Travis. I couldn't help myself I started laughing.
