Chapter 7
BOSCO! someone yells from behind me coming through the door pushing me aside to get by
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUDDY!
-I can't turn around fast enough so I move over to the bar with my back to them
What will you have? The bartender asks me
-Vodka Seven I've never been much of a drinker but right now I pretty much need it I feel like i'm going to cry...what's wrong with me..
"Bobby" I hear Bosco say "great to see you man"
Bobby: Great to see you too buddy, Faith, Ty you guys look great
Ty: It's really great you came...this is my girlfriend Sasha Monroe
Sasha: Nice to meet you
Bobby: So how did you wind up with this heartbreaker?
Sasha: I met him at the 55
Bobby: And Faith how are you?
-Who the hell is this guy? What the fuck is he so happy about? and why is he asking Faith how she is? What's with the small talk...Who the hell cares how Faith is...geez...has anyone ever seen her risk her life for the better good of things? I signal the bartender for another drink
Faith: I'm doing well, this is my daughter Emily she's actually a paramedic, Emily Bobby here is a paramedic and a damn good one too she's also going to school, studying to becme a Doctor
Emily: Mom...
Faith: Emily it's nothing to be ashamed of you should be...
(Miller's coming back from the washroom)
Miller: Mom's raving about the brewing Doctor again?
Faith: This is Miller
Emily: Her boyfriend
Bobby: (chuckles) Nice to meet you
-What is this? The brady bunch? Who the hell is that blonde slut all over Bosco?
Bobby: And you are?
Bosco: This is Nicole
Bobby: Bosco is a lucky man
Nicole: We're just friends
Bobby: Ah huh
-Just friends? Yeah right like Bosco and I were just friends...I'm sure that's it...
Bosco: And this lovely lady is my mother Rose...Mom this is Bobby he used to be a paramedic across from the 55
Rose: Pleasures all mine
(cruz is lost in her own thoughts)
-He never introduced his mother to me...not even when I brought him soup...I thought I meant more to him then that...god he hates me...
(Bobby comes up beside her to order)
Bartender: What will you have?
Bobby: A pitcher thanks...(he glances at cruz a few times) So how are you this evening?
Cruz: Can I help you with something?
Bobby: I just asked how you were
Cruz: (sarcastic) I'm great
Bobby: rough day? I know work can be stressful...sometimes you need a smooth drink to let the edge off...can I buy you one?
-What is this guys deal? Can't he fuck off?
Bosco: Hey Bobby! Whats taking so long buddy?
(Bobby turns around signaling he's busy)
Bosco: Someone's gettin lucky tonight!
Bobby: Sorry about my friend...he's a little wasted its his birthday (He notices she flushes a little)
Cruz: Sorry if I gave the impression that I care but I don't give a shit about your business or Bosco's (She get's up and walks towards the door)
Bobby:(outloud to himself) I never told you his name
Faith: Never told who who's name?
Bobby: That girl walking towards the door
Faith: Oh my god...
