Broken

A bar. Not really my scene, but I need the money. My mom and I need the money. We have always needed money, but this is my last year of highschool and everything is changing I have already started applying to colleges, and all colleges require money.

I hear the booming music as soon as I enter in the club. There were people dancing, making out and drinking. Its like all the things I hate combined in one,

“Hello, do you know where the boss is?” I ask a red haired girl that was standing behind the bar.

“Yeah down the hallway. The first door on the left," The man instructs.

I give him a smile as a thank you.

Before I can even reach the door A man steps out in a dark colored suit.

“God how many times to I have tell Ren to not you drunk teenagers into this part of the bar!" The man angrily yells throwing his fists into the air.

“No I’m not drunk I came here to apply for a job," I say to the angry man.

“Oh," The man stops and stares at me. “You don't look eighteen,” The man snorts

He was correct. I’m not eighteen yet. I’m currently seventeen. But that is definitely not going to stop me.

I pull out a fake ID that Niall had made for me along time ago. I never used it. The only time I drank was when I was at one of Niall’s parties. I never found a use for it until now. Thank you Niall.

“Ok, you get the job, but mess up once you're out.”

“What?”

“Are you deaf," The man says waving my hands.

“No not at all," That was a lot easier than expected. I was mentally preparing myself to get on me knees on start begging him.

“Come with me,” The man gestures for me to follow him out of the hallway.

“Ren!” The man calls out.

Red haired lady steps out from behind the bar. She is wearing a green halter crop top with a green skater skirt. Her red vibrant hair passes her shoulders. She has on bright pink lipstick and for some reason it is very distracting.

“Yes!” Ren call out passing a beer to a man sitting on a stool.

“This here is erm," The man pauses and looks at me.

“Oh, Kate. My name is Kate.”

“Yes this is Kate. Do you think you could show her how to make drinks and clean. Just the run down of this place.”

“Yes of course,” Ren says smiling showing her dimples.

“Good I will be in my office.” When the man turns around Ren flicks the man off and whispers a fuck you underneath her breath.

“He lowered my paycheck last weekend. That son of a bitch," Ren pauses and gives me a smile. “Anyways, welcome to my little mini hut. Hop over.” Ren gestures for me to climb over the bar.

“So you're definitely not eighteen, Ren says filling up a glass of beer.

“No I'm ei-”

“Ohh cut the shit. I’m not gonna tell on you. Just be careful what you get yourself into,"
Ren says giving me a genuine smile.

I nod in response.

“Know what do you want to learn first. Sex on the beach or pineapple margarita.” Ren says holding up two bottles of alcohol.

“Pineapple margarita sounds easy.”

For two hours Ren shows me how to make a concoction of drinks. I even almost spilled beer all over myself. The bar even has a stage for dancers but there is no way I will ever be doing that.

I was getting the hang of making the drinks that is until I saw Blue. Blue is just another one of those high school bullies. At first her words never got to me. The she started talking about my personal life. My mom, my dad, and I could not handle it. Every Word she said was like a blade going through my skin.

“Oh, and look who it is. Miss cocktard works at a bar," Blue and her friends chuckle at start laughing uncontrollably

“I’m going to get the beers from the back,” I whisper in Rens ear.

I enter in the storage room and grab a bottles of beers. I mentally preparing myself to back out there and face Blue.

I walk out with multiple beers in my hand to fill back up the machines.

“So your work at a bar know.” Blue says swirling her index finger in her drink.

I don't respond just keep working.

"Tell me if you want me to slip something in her drink," Ren whispers making me chuckle.

I can tell that Blue is talking about me with her friends but I choose to ignore it. I'm not in the mood to deal with her shit right now.

"Hey you can leave if you want know," Ren says over the music." Someone else is coming for the next shift." I nod at Ren and thank her.

I get my jacket from the back room and get into my car. There is no way I'm telling my mom about this job. She will tell me to quit and I can't quit not now.
-------------------------------

I walk into the house, avoiding my mom at all cost. I don't see my mom anywhere down stairs which is a good sign.

¨Hello honey.” I jump and turn on the lights.

¨Holy crap MOM!¨ I yell.

¨Did I scare you,¨ she teases.

I roll my eyes in response.

My eyes instantly go to a stack of papers sitting in the dining table. ¨What is this mom.”
¨Bills.”She says with an enthusiastic smile on her face.

“Well I got a job, so you don’t have to worry about that.

“Where?” My mom asks.
“The bakery.” The lie rolls off my tongue and it doesn't feel right.

“Oh, thank you for getting a job. You did not need to do that. You're a teenager and I want you to enjoy being a teenager.” My mom eyes soften and I feel so bad for lying. I never have told a big lie like this to her. I never found a reason to lie to her. I wish my mom goodnight before heading up the stairs.
