Only Way Out

Chapter 29 Back to the Bar Stool

( Like I said in the last chapter this is a pre-chapter for The Bloody Bar. It didn't have much context to it so I decided to add more. Hopefully this should explain things and I know it wasn't very well put out but oh well. Also TW (sexual harassment) )

We get our lgbt asses out of the car and head inside this medium sized bar that was honestly bigger on the inside than it looked on the outside. It had a few slot machines in there and maybe three poker tables along with the pretty damn big bar. Behind said bar stood donavan however before we could even fully get in we were stopped by a security guard.

"IDs" he said
We all hand them to him. He reads them over then sees Megan and soda.
"Kids aren't aloud. And whatever that thing is isn't either"
"We don't have anywhere to put them. This was a sudden change in our plans" Neil says
"Doesn't matter"
"But we-"
"Woah woah woah wait sorry he doesn't know you're my friends. Mikal! MIKAL! Let them in dammit!" Donavan says from a far
"Oh they're with you? Sorry sir" mikal the security guard says.
"Femboys these days" Donovan says coming over to us.
"Speak for yourself" sal says quietly.
"Anyway have- woah ok why are their children here?"
"We literally have no where to put them. No babysitters for the last minute so we just had to bring them. It's not very good parenting I know but"neil's voice changes to an angry tone and he looks at Todd "someone insisted we come!" Neil says then changing his tone back to normal.
"Oh...well maybe we can just keep them in a back room Nelly can watch them she's one of the ladies that works for me" donavan says
"YOU'RE A PIMP???" Travis asks excitedly.
"What? No? Maybe? Uh...I'm just gonna ignore that. Um for those of you who don't fully know me I'm donavan!" Donavan says changing the subject. Everyone introduces ourselves.
"And this is Megan. The little one I told you about at the motel" Neil says
"Oh aren't you just a little cutie" donavan says letting Megan grab his finger. "Uh follow me" he says then leads the group to the back rooms. "Nelly! Watch these two uh children. I think soda is a child. Ghost child? Eh doesn't matter watch them please!"
"Yes sir" nelly says.
"....I don't know if I'm ready for this. What if these people are bad or something" Neil says
"Bad? Oh no here look at the qualifications nelly is under and I promise you they won't leave this room until you're ready to go" donavan says
"Alive?" Neil
"I- yes alive what do you think I am a psychopath?..." donavan
"Neil he seems fine it'll be ok" Sal says
"Yeah I mean if he was a murderer he would have kill us at the motel right?" Ash asks
"I guess...I don't know I'm just worried about my baby I guess" Neil says
"She'll be in good hands I promise" donavan says
"Well...ok I guess" Neil says handing over Megan reluctantly.
"If anything goes bad I'll tell you" soda says
"Thank you soda" Neil says.
"Ok! Let's go have fun!"donavan says
And so we do. Sal travis donavan and ash start drinking on the spot. Neil and maple head over to the poker table to play a few rounds for the hell of it. And Well I stay with Todd who surprisingly hasn't done anything let.
"Not drinking dude?" He asks
"No. Not yet at least. What about you?" I ask
"Eh. Kidneys are being shit so probably won't drink tonight just get higher than usual"
"What do you mean kidneys?"
"You don't know?"
"No?..."
"Neil doesn't tell any of you guys shit I swear. I had double kidney failure from cancer a few years ago. I got transplants from his sister who was a double match. That's kinda how I met Neil. I guess that's why his parents were asses to him. Because his sister took her life for me. And now the kidneys are acting up again. Just like you I'm dying bro. But hey. Gotta live in the little moments you know?" He says
"Jeez...I had no idea"
"Hey. Don't beat yourself up from it. Have fun. It's your loverboys birthday after all. Yeah hey wait!" Todd says then he screams "IT'S THAT BLUE HAIRED MOTHERFUCKER'S BIRTHDAY!!" The crowd cheers. I just look away and blush under my mask. I can probably take it off though everyone here is to wasted to even care what I look like honestly.
"Oh it's your birthday huh?" The bartender asks
"Yep. I'm the big old 21 today!" Sal says smugly.
"Well in that case. Wait are you 21 right now or?" The bartender says
"I've been 21. I was born at 2:30 am"
"Ah well in that case drink all you want! And we have a cake if you want it"
"Give it to him!" Donavan says
"Yes sir"
"Fuck yes!" Sal says.
I walk up to them and sit beside him.
"Cake?" I ask
"Oh now he comes. He hears the word cake and starts running" Sal says jokingly. Everyone sitting town at the barstools just laughs. Then the cake comes out and so does the full staff. Maple Neil and Todd join us as the staff starts singing. Everyone els joins in on the singing to. Even the other drunk people in the bar. After everyone finishes the birthday song Sal blows out his candles then asks
"Ok where's the knife to cut this bad boy"
"Oh no we don't do that at this bar" donavan says. The staff then hands us all a glass.
"Dig in" donavan says
"What?" Sal asks
"Dig into the cake with the glass"
"No fucking way" Sal says then digs the glass into the center of the damn cake putting the cake in the glass then hands it to me then says "Here. I know you don't like icing as much so have the center one"
I take off my mask and say "Oh Um thank you" I say smiling then handing him my cup.
"Huh didn't know he looked like that under his mask. It's nice" donavan says
"Not really...." I say
"Yeah it is! It gives you personality and I like that. Anyway dig in!!" Donavan says
Everyone els joins in destroying the cake. I just think to myself for a bit about if I really look nice or not. Then cake. It has purple frosting and I think it's a- oh my god it is! It's a strawberry cake!!!!
"Cheers to a new beginning!" Donavan says
"Cheers!" Everyone els says. The rest of the night we pretty much get wasted high and shit faced. That is until incident.

"Hey baby" a drunk guys says approaching Sal
"Huh??" He asks
"I said hey baby. Wanna come to my place tonight"
"Nah your breath smells. Heh it it smells like the Taco Bell toilets. Be besides I'm a guy" Sal says drunkenly
"Doesn't matter. Come on baby I'll show you a good time. A nice and sweet time" the drunk guys says creepily
"No thank you"
I might have been drunk but I knew what being harassed was. I might have also had to much to drink so I go over there and try to break it up.
"Hey stop harassing my boyfriend"
"Oooh now here's something more my type. Come here sugar" the drunk guys says backing me into a wall.
"Get away from me!" I yell. Everyone is honestly to drunk to help at this point. Even the bartender is drunk. I guess it's good that security isn't letting anymore people in here but I think that's also a bad thing. He's also way to far from where I am to see anything. I punch the drunk guy dead in the face as he's just getting closer and closer to me. That does nothing.
"Oooo I like a rough girl" he says then unzips his pants. I guess that's enough for my liking. I end up grabbing a knife that was sitting on a table next to me and stab him multiple times. He screams a little then grabs it from me and stabs me. I scream then grab the closest object that was by me. An ax that was on the wall. I grab that ax and well.....heh happy birthday Sal? I end up grabbing the body and I guess pushing it behind a couch then passing out. I'm not sure what happened after that. Nobody is.
