Lou and You.

Chapter 1

"You'll always be my best friend." Debbie smiles at Lou. "But I don't want to be friends. Deb. Don't you know what you mean to me?"

Another day another dream. Lou wakes up sweating "... Deb." She looks around an empty room and sigh. Its been a year since Debbie Ocean went to jail. She still remembers her face when the court sentences her. "7 years with a chance of parole." Hammer hits the desk and her face just sank. It hurts Lou a lot. Too much to bare that she often gets drunk and sleep with any women as she sees fit. She just hope this 7 years would goes faster, so she can see her again.

Lou gets up and take a shower before she heads out. She drives her bike around town but still don't know where to go. She stops in red light and watch as a crowd of people walk across. "maybe I should go visit her."

Lou stands in front Nichols Women's Prison. She takes off her sunglasses and takes a long deep breath, before she walks in.

"You look like shit. Deb." Lou looks at her carefully. Debbie's eyes are so red and there is dark circle around it. 

"it so hard to fall asleep." Debbie sigh. 

"are they bothering you." Lou looks concerns. 

"I'll deal with it, don't worry." 

"Debbie..." she lean close to the window. 

"I'm fine, Lou." She give her a smile. "what about you? You look fancy." 

"I owns a club now." Lou smirk. 

"woah, when did that happened?" Debbie adjust her siting. 

"its been two years." She says proudly. "and it's still going very well. Not to brag or anything." Debbie shakes her head with a smile. It's just like the old times, they keeps talking about random stuff. They both miss this. 

"so you seeing anyone?" Debbie ask causally. 

"no. Not really." Lou avoid her eyes. 

"don't tell me, you been sleeping around." She knows her so well. "Lou. That's gross. Go find someone and start a relationship." Lou can't smile anymore and Debbie continues, "its better to have someone to talk to, not just being alone." 

Lou looks away try not shed any tears. "I wasn't before you left me." She sounds heartbroken. Debbie was all she has till the day she left her for some guy. 

"I just don't want you to be lonely." Debbie tell her. 

"mhm." But she just nods. 

"Debbie Ocean! Times up!" an officer stands there and wait for her to stand up. "see you around, Lou." She give her a smile before she hangs up. Lou is left alone again by her.

Lou drive back to her club. As she was driving she can't help but think about her words. "maybe it's time to move on. Like Deb said find someone to love me. ... so I don't have to."

"hey boss." Kevin, her only bartender and waiter in the club. 

"hey." Lou walks behind the bar and start working. 

"I put up a flyer outside, if you don't mind." Kevin tells her. 

"what flyer?" Lou pouring ingredients into a mixer. 

"to hire another bartender." Lou frown and Kevin keeps going "you know, since you fired the last one." 

Lou protest. "I did not fire Charlotte." 

Kevin nods. "but you did told her, you don't want a relationship after you slept with her." 

"true. But I didn't fire her." Lou still insisting her point. 

"she left with a broken heart, boss."

"fine. Just hire someone."

Later that week, there are a few people come in for interviews. But Lou doesn't like any of them. Some are just too arrogant, and some are too young and inexperienced. "okay. Why it is so hard to hire someone." Kevin whine as he keep mixing and serving drinks. "I don't like any of them." Lou said casually as she keeps a eye on this blonde girl. "I don't care, I'm hiring whoever comes next." Kevin is having a tantrum as he walks away. But Lou just ignore him.

The door opens slow. You walk in looking around. Lou looks at you as you approaches her. "Hi. Are you guys hiring?" you ask nervously. 

"yeh, you got a resume?" she ask you and you quickly takes out a piece of paper. 

"here." 

Lou glanced through it and frown. "honey, you've never work at a bar before." Lou shakes her head mentally. Another nope. 

But before She can speak, you said, "yeh, but I'm a quick learner, give me a chance.." you paused and look up to her with a plead. "please." 

Lou stares at your small figures and soften her eyes. "sure." And she warns you, "but you better be a very fast learner." 

You are so excited when she speak those words out. "thank you so much." Lou just looks at you and think, another one added to the list. "my name is y/n." you hold out a hand. And she takes your hand. "I'm Lou."
