"Kody get out. This is it you need to leave. Don't come back" Patrick did't shout. If anything his voice was lower than usual. Looking at Eileen and Patrick staring at me like they'd never seen me before, I felt tears prickle at the backs of my eyes and whispered a quiet "I'm sorry" as I took off my blood spattered apron and ran from the bar, voices of stunned and angry men behind me 'booing'.
That night I lay there for hours feeling more wretched that I had in years, and not just from the alcohol. As I had no job to get to the next day, I slept in until my hangover was almost gone, leaving me with just a cloudy feeling in my head and some dizziness. Running a brush through my hair I looked at myself in the mirror. Absolutely ghastly to be perfectly honest. Patrick had been right, I could see my ribs poking through the tight top I was wearing and my thighs were no longer nice and rounded. Almost two years of eating bare minimum was bound to have an affect. I made a silent promise to myself that for the next week as I used up the rest of my paycheck I would make myself eat at least two proper meals each day. Deciding to start by getting breakfast in a cafe down the road I opened the door and stepped out into the dingy hallway.Georgette had dropped off the morning newspaper while I was sleeping as she did every morning and I bent down to pick it up off the mat. As I stood up I looked across the hall and saw a woman. About my age, with voluminous, blond curls, tumbling down her back and shoulders, which were bare, in a tight black dress that showed off her wide curves and long legs. She turned and looked at me with alarmingly blue eyes, then backed away and walked down the stairs leading to reception. Looking down at the paper in my hand I saw something on the front page that grabbed my attention. "Two girls reported missing and one found dead." My heart beat faster in my chest and I ran back inside to grab my laptop.
