Broken

*Chapter 22|Kiss*

I update Friday or Sunday every two weeks!

•Bianca's P.O.V

With my hands shoved in my hoodie pockets I made my way to Benny's; the place I was supposed to start work two weeks ago.

The walk from Linda's house to the building helped to calm my anger, soon enough I was as cool as a cucumber.

When my eyes met the glass doors, I saw my reflection staring back at me, I hadn't bothered to get the pink hair dye so my hair's roots were much more prominent than they were before.

But I don't care anymore.

He already knows where I am, every move I make. What's the point of hiding anymore.

I hesitantly stepped into the building, I was nervous, more than nervous probably. I promised Benny I'd be here the day after I got the job and I completely bailed on him. I just hope he'll give me a second chance.

The store was as empty as it always was and I wondered why no one ever came here.

"Look who it is," a voice sang, I glanced at the bar and found Paul giving me a grin as he leaned his elbows on the table.

"Where's your dad?" I ask, ignoring his last statement. I make my way over to him.

"He left a few hours ago, he should be back soon," Paul smirked. "Why are you here exactly? Because I remember vividly that my dad didn't say you were due to start working, two weeks after."

I rolled my eyes. Not one conversation and I already never want to speak to this guy again.

"How about you keep your opinions to yourself Paul," I snap at him, with a hard glare on my face.

His smirk deepened. "Would you like to make me?" He asked, his voice dipping lower. I saw a mischievous glint in his eyes telling me to be careful. It surprised me he was even talking to me, the last time I saw him he barely spared me a glance.

"I would love to," I reply with a smirk of my own. Paul leaned in closer over the table, his eyes boring into mine. I didn't move, I stayed put, my eyes challenging his.

"Then kiss me."

The door bell jingled just as I rolled my eyes. Paul slowly leaned back, the smirk still evident on his face.

"I'm getting that kiss sunshine," Paul winked. I scoffed at the nickname and turned to see who came in.

Benny gave me knowing smile. "There's my little criminal," he cheered and made his way over to me. "Finally decided to show up eh."

My lips formed into a thin line, the stress I've tried to hide being as visible as ever. I sighed. "I'm sorry Benny, I just have a lot going on right now, Benny's was literally the last thing on my mind," I tell him honestly.

"It's fine, but how do you end up getting arrested in a hospital?" He ask with raised eyebrows.

I cross my arm and lean on one leg. "I'd rather not talk about it," I reply. "So, do I still have a chance at getting the job?" I ask him. Though, I expected a no. Who would want to hire someone with a criminal record anyways. Especially someone with one that says 'suspect for attempted murder'.

Benny looked hesitant, not much to my surprise. "I don't know, having you here wouldn't be very good for my business," Benny drawled.

'What business?' I wanted to say but bit my tongue.

"Come on dad," Paul dragged and walked beside me. He slung his arm around my shoulders and I quickly shrugged it off while holding back an eye roll. "Give her a chance. I mean, we're low on staff and we do need some new company around here. Plus, we can trust her," he turned to me. "Right Izzy?"

I paused for a second and suddenly remembered I told them my name was Izzy, not Bianca.

"Right," I reply and forced out my biggest smile.

The glass door flung open. "Hey dad, sorry I'm late. I-" the voice stopped mid sentence.

Everyone's heads turned towards the person. "Izzy, I would like you to meet my daughter. Also your new co worker," Benny's words made a huge smile form on my face.

"You're Izzy?" The girl said in disbelief. "I thought you were a dude."

Benny rolled his eyes. "Izzy this is my daughter Jessica."

I froze when I heard her name, because of this I actually gave the girl a good look before I found out my thoughts weren't wrong. The dirty blonde hair, pretty face and curvy body was all familiar.

Sooner enough, I wasn't the only person that found something familiar, because the recognition in her eyes shun as bright as the sun.

"Bianca?" She called, her eyes narrowed in thought.

Paul and benny stared at both of us, with confusion written all over their faces. "I thought your name was Izzy?" Paul asked.

"You two know each other?" Benny asked after Paul spoke.

My eyes went to Paul and Benny, then landed on Jessica. My mouth was slightly ajar because of my loss of words to say. "Izzy?" Jessica said in disbelief. "You've got to be kidding me," she scoffed and crossed her arms.

"Excuse me?" Benny called, gaining all of our attention. "Is there something I've been missing here?"

Jessica was fast to reply. "Yes. This girl here, her name isn't Izzy, it's Bianca. And she's been lying to you all this time."

Well, fuck.
