I woke up turning off my alarm getting ready for work I brushed my teeth throwing on my uniform rushing down stairs to get breakfast I made toast and grabbed a banana
I got on the subway heading to work I work at a bar called velvet vine as a waitress I worked morning shifts so there wasn't as many people there I got there setting up and I saw Emma she was also a waitress I waved she smiled walking over to me
Grace: Hii Emma !!
Emma: heyy grace
Grace: what time are you out today
Emma : 4 today
Grace: me too !!
Emma: soo I have something I want to ask you
Grace: okay what is it
Emma: I see you don't work Saturday can you take my shift pleaseeee
Grace: is it a evening shift
Emma: yesss I know how you feel about evening shifts but please I can return the favor
Grace: ugh fine you owe me
I decided to take Emma's shift honestly I needed the money but I didn't like to work night shifts because the bar I work at is pretty shady at night I heard rumors from the other girls that some strange looking guys come into the bar at night I have never seen them I don't stick around long enough
I believe them my boss is a total creep he only hires woman but it pays good so we put up with his groping and his passes at us it was slow so my boss Mr Pavlov sent me home early I have been working at the bar for five months
I caught the subway back to my apartment I haven't been in the city for a long time I moved to new york from Michigan to get away from my ex Lucas we were together since I was 14 and he was 17 I moved to New York four years ago I stayed with my aunt since I was still a minor when me and Lucas fell out that's when I left to New York
Lucas was too possessive I stayed with my grandmother in Michigan when she passed that's when Lucas's family took me in i was happy staying with them but Lucas was always trying to control me I couldn't even get a job because he wouldn't allow it his family was rich that's why I wanted to work for my things I never understood why he went to public school when his family was well off he never told me what his parents did Lucas his two other siblings Liam( 23) was the oldest he was also a half sibling and Luna (19) she was the youngest I worked at a cafe before before the bar but I needed something closer to my apartment so I got hired at the bar as a waitress
I was 18 now and I have been living on my own since the summer my aunt helped me move out and get my apartment I still go visit her on Sundays I haven't seen Lucas in years
I got home changing my clothes going into the kitchen to make dinner I decided to make lasagne after dinner I went and watched some tv
The next day :
It was fine o'clock I got to the bar to cover Emma's shift there was a lot of people there already I went back to put my apron on and spoke to the other girls and started waiting tables , cleaning tables and washing dishes
Maddie's asked me to take some drinks to vip I agreed and carried the drinks over I didn't like vip but they normally tip well so I didn't mind I opened the curtains saying my hellos I looked up seeing Liam he was wearing a dark suit the guys he were with were also wearing suits I could see the guns on there waist including liam
Grace: Liam ?
Liam:grace ? What are you doing here
Grace: I-i work here why are you here
Liam: I am handling some business

Lucas:well brother they don't have any whiskey what bar doesn't have whisk-
