Back To Me
Adjusting the strap on her bag, Faith stood on the subway as it swayed back and forth on the track. The evening glow of the sun bounced off her aviator sunglasses. Staring out the window she sighed, she was not ready for what the day was bound the bring her.
Twenty-two. It was a 22-minute trip from her Boston home to her job in the city. Pink Hammer was the hottest bar in South Boston. Faith had acquired the building from an aunt she had only seen once in her life. Not knowing what to do with it, her best friend and business manager suggested they change it into lesbian nightclub. From the moment they opened the doors they couldn't keep the crowds away, which was fine by Faith. Getting off at her station, she walked the three blocks to her nightclub, unlocked the door and flicked on the lights. Which was fine by Faith, getting off at her station she walked the three blocks to her night club, unlocking the door Faith flicked on the lights.
"Hey, Faith!"
"Hey, Cass." The young, brunette smiled setting her sunglasses on the top of her head.
"About time you showed up." The young, naturally blonde haired woman who had chosen some ungodly blue to be her hair color of the week said. The two had women had known each other for most of their lives, and Cassie had never known her best friend to be on time. Ever.
Cassie The woman stood about 5'6", but the work boots she had on gave her at least another four inches. She wore form fitting jeans with a work t-shirt that had the bar's name on it. Her long indigo hair lay at her back in a tight ponytail. Placing a case of liquor on the bar top she smiled.
"Nice to see you too, Cass." She smiled back at her. Walking into her office, she continued. "Ya heard from Bobbi yet?"
"She called about 10 minutes ago…" Leaning against the door frame she crossed her arms over her chest.
"And?" Faith questioned asked, looking up at her expectantly.
Sighing wiping Cass wiped the sweat off her brow with a towel that sat in her pocket. "It's a no go." She said frowning sticking the towel into her back pocket.
"Damn it." Throwing her keys on the desk, she grabbed her ledger. Flipping the worn book open to a book marked page she let her finger run across several entries. It was pointless, as the hot as the club was it was still next too impossible to get an even hotter act to sign on with such short notice.
"My thoughts exactly."
"Where are we gonna get another DJ last minute?" Tossing her book on the bar top leaning up against the bar, she tried to control her frustration. Faith sighed. Pinching the bridge of her nose she closed her eyes. If they didn't find someone soon the entertainment for the next couple of weeks was gonna be screwed. Inhaling she began brainstorm different acts in her head.
Biting her lip, Cassie looked at her friend as she walked out of their shared office. "I may have a guy… well, girl."
Faith braced herself against the bar. "Who is it Cass?" She asked becoming increasing annoying with herself for not being able to come up with anything. Tapping her fingers against the bar.
"Well, you remember my cousin Beca?"
Furrowing her brow, Faith tried to recall who she was talking about.
"You know, little Beca from Atlanta." There was a beat before she continued. "Used to visit me during the summer."
"Used to follow us around all the time?" Faith questioned.
"Yes." She smiled as it dawns dawned on her friend. "She's a DJ now. She's really amazing."
"Cass…" Faith began.
Holding up her hands she stopped her. "Look I'll even have her audition and everything."
Sighing, Faith knew she really didn't have a choice. "Fine. Get her here in 30."
"You won't regret this." She smiled and pulled out her phone to call her cousin. "Becs, don't talk just listen."
Shutting the door to her two-bedroom apartment Chloe sighed. Her night at the diner had thankfully ended early. She had been recently had been picking up more shifts to help pay for her college courses. It was definitely taking its on toll on her.
"Hello?" She called.
"In here, Chlo."
"Hey." She smiled brilliantly at seeing her best friend and babysitter. "Where's Dylan?"
"Poor guy got so tuckered out from the park this afternoon, I barely got any food in him before he passed out." Pulling the sliding door to the deck shut Aubrey walked into the kitchen. She watched as her best friend took off her jacket, and placed it on the coat rack. Pulling two glasses out of the cabinet she made her way over to the refrigerator where she poured them both a glass of water.
Smiling weakly, Chloe sat down in one of the dining room chairs. "Thanks for doing this for me on such short notice Bree." Kicking off her shoes, she flexed her toes it had been a long day as she was glad she was able to relax now.
"Don't mention it." Smiling, Aubrey placed a glass of water in front of her friend before taking a seat herself. "That's what I'm here for." Looking at her Chloe with concern, she took her hand. "You don't have to do this on your own, you know?" After their sixth grade year the two women had been inseparable, their love for music had made sure of that.
"I know," she sighed. "I just don't want to let them down."
"Is that what you think, that somehow they'd be disappointed in you?"
Holding her head down, the young redhead tried to force her tears back. Nodding her head slowly, she couldn't look back up at her friend.
"I miss them too. I know I-." She paused. "I know how much they loved you. I'd give anything to be able to bring them back to you." Exhaling, Aubrey Posen tightened her hold on her best friend. "You could have told the Judge no; you know?"
At that the redhead shot her head up. "I couldn't," There was a pregnant pause between them, reaching up the young redhead wiped away a stray tear. "He's all I have left of them… I couldn't be without him."
"I know." she smiled gently. "You were 18… You grew up quick. Because you had to, but that doesn't mean you have to do this alone. We all love you, we're all here for you. We're not going anywhere."
"Thanks, Bree." She smiled softly. "What would I do without you?"
"Probably fall apart." She chuckled as her friend playfully slapped her arm. "Now!" she exclaimed. "This weekend, we're taking you out." Holding Aubrey held her hand up as Chloe opened her mouth to protest. "I don't want to hear it. Jesse and Benji have got us covered."
"I really should catch up on my school work." Chloe blurted out.
"Screw that! How long has it been since you went out? On an actual date even." The blonde asked.
"I hate it when you're right." Chloe thought aloud, frowning.
Smirking, she Aubrey nodded. "And yet."
TBC...
Let me know what you think!
