A/N: So, here's the lastest chapter in A Broken and Lonely Life! Yay!
Now I warn you! This chapter is gonna get a little intense. Sarah is going to have to witness something that she never wanted to see. In this chapter, you get to see just how horrible Jesse is and get an idea of just what kind of guy he is.
Now! On with the Shout-Outs!:
tomo338- Glad you liked it Fanfic Buddy #2! And I'm sure that you'll love this one too!
TiredOfBeingNice- Yeah! See does have Erica, but sometimes Erica isn't always there for her when she needs her most. Like you'll see in this chapter. She does have a life of her own to live. And the reason why Erica is a damaged and broken soul too is because she's in the same line of work as Sarah is, during the night, and her teenage years weren't to happy for her either. I might mentioned why in a future chapter sometime.
TheBestOfHope- I'm glad that you liked it! I know that I already mentioned this in a review on your story, but I'll say it again. Sorry. No I don't have Skype or kik. But I can give you some words of adivce. Just go on and post it. Don't be afraid of what others might think, as long as you love it then go ahead. You'll never know how good it might it be if you don't post it. And if there is something that someone thinks could use some improving on then I'm sure they'll tell you in a friendly review. And if they're just going to be a dick because they don't like it then just ignore them and their hateful ways. You don't need them as fans anyways! I hope that helps a bit. I'm sure that whatever you'll write will be awesome! Truth be told, I'm still a little new to all this myself. Lol!
LoveShipper- Thanks for loving it! And yeah! Erica can give good advice. Erica is like Sarah's little support system! Lol!
And a thank you to those who've been following along secretly and just didn't review! You know who you are! ;)

Nobody's POV
It was the next day and Sarah had awaken with a stretch of her arms and a small yawn escaping her mouth. She sat up and realized that she must of fallen asleep on the couch last night. She looked over at the clock and saw that it was 8:30 in the morning. She got up off the couch and headed to her room to go and change for the day. After she did that, she checked Erica's room and saw that the blonde must of left to go to her "legal" day job, which is at a clothing store. Sarah then walked into the kitchen to fix her some scrambled eggs and a couple of pieces of bacon. After the food was done, she sat down to eat. At first she just sat there for a few minutes staring at her plate with a sad expression. "Looks like I'm having breakfast all by myself again." she sighed out loud. It was like this almost every morning. Waking up alone to an empty apartment and having to eat breakfast alone.
After breakfast, she decided to go for a walk. It was a nice and beautiful day out today, so why not. She grabbed her jacket and her purse and left the apartment, making sure to lock the door on her way out.
Sarah had walked to the park and took a seat on one of the park benches there. She let out a sigh, leaning back into the bench and just looked up at the blue sky. "It's such a beautiful day out today. I wish I could say the same for when it's night time." she thought to herself. It was true. Since she didn't have to work during the day, it was peaceful and relaxing. And everthing just seemed a little bit brighter. But once the sun went down it always seems like it brought out the creeps, low lives, and criminals. It was hard for Sarah to ever see the beauty of nighttime, thanks to all of the terrible things that sometimes accompany it. And she practically was one of those low lives who came out only at night.
Then she looked out in front of her and saw all the little kids running around and laughing and having fun with each other or with their parents. She sighed once again. "It must be nice to have a family and kids. I wish that some day that maybe I'll be able to have a life like that, but as long as I'm working for Jesse and remain being one of his 'girls'...that will never happen." she thought to herself, sadly. Sarah then just sat there in silence for awhile, watching the kids continuing to play. Then her phone started to ring. She pulled it out of her purse to check it. It was Jesse calling her. She then frowned and answered the phone.
"H-hello." she answered timidly.
"Sarah! It's me." replied Jesse on the other end.
"Yes, Jesse. What can I do for you?" she asked.
"I need you to come down to the office. Now!" he demanded. "I have some business to discuss with you." he finished.
"O-ok. I'll be there in a few." she replied, stuttering a bit.
"Good! See you soon." he replied back and then hung up.
Sarah hit the end button on her phone to end the call. She was nervous and scared now. What could he possibly want to discuss with her. Whatever it was, she was probably not going to like it. She got up and started her trek to the hide out.
Sarah's POV
Well I finally made it to the hide out and was currently outside of Jesse's office. I knocked like I usually did and he told me to enter. I entered the room and shut the door behind me. I was trembling slightly, but not enough for anyone to notice.
"Y-you wanted to see me?" I asked meekly.
He looked up from some papers that he was looking at and then smiled at me. "Why, yes! Yes, I did!" he said. He motioned me to sit down in the chair that sat on the opposite side of the desk. I walked over and took the seat. He then spoke some more. "Now! On to business. There's a guy who still owes me money and he thinks that he can out smart me by trying to pay me off in counterfeit bills. Well he thought wrong." he said in a serious tone.
"And what does this have to do with me?" I asked curiously.
Jesse then smirked at me. "I'm getting to that part." she said coolly. "You see. One way or the other he will pay me back. Either it be with cash or...his life." When Jesse said that, it sent shivers up my spine. I had a pretty good idea as to what he had in store for this guy, but what I couldn't figure out was why he need me? I don't kill or torture people. That's usually a job for one of his hired thugs to carry out. I just sleep with guys for their money and maybe even on rare occasions, sell drugs to people. "The guy is a smart one though. He never stays in one place for long and when he's out in public it's always somewhere that's busy and has a lot of people around." he finished. He paused for a second before speaking again, but this time with a devilish grin. "And that's where you come in, my dear Sarah. You see. Even though he's never in the same spot twice, there is one place that he seems to always appear at. A little gambling joint on Willow street, and it just so happens to be owned by a friend of mine. He says the guy is always there regardless if he has money or is trying to pick up women there. In fact, that's where all the money that he borrowed from me went. He's known for being a gambler. So, I need you to go in there and flirt with him and lure the guy out. You'll then lead him down the alleyway that's a few blocks over, where my men will be waiting for him and will take care of the rest." he explained.
I didn't know what to think. I couldn't do that! I mean I know that I'm not technically the one who will be ending this guy's life, but still! I would still be a part of it as an accessory! I couldn't do this! Why did Jesse choose me to do this for him anyways? Couldn't he have gotten one of the other girls to do it, instead? I felt like crying, but didn't.
"Why me? Why do I have to be the one to lure him out?" I asked meekly, looking down.
"Because, Sarah. Your my number one girl. And who better to lure him out then my number one girl. Right?" he answered seductively and with that devilish smile of his. Too scared to object, I just nodded my head slowly. "Good. Now. You can go. The hit will take place at dusk tonight. So, be ready." he said. I nodded again and stood up and made my way to the door. Just as soon as my hand had touched the door knob, Jesse spoke. "Oh! And Sarah?" he asked me. I turned my head back to look at him.
"Yes?" I said quietly.
He was still smiling that smile at me, but this time I saw something else in his eyes. Lust. "Wear something sexy for tonight. We want to make sure that he falls for it hook, line, and sinker." he replied.
"Ok ." I said quietly again and then I left.
"HE WANTS YOU TO DO WHAT?!" yelled Erica.
I had told her about what Jesse had wanted me to do later. She was clearly not happy about me doing this, but I know her. She may not like the idea, but she's like me. Too afraid to stand up to Jesse.
"I can't believe he wants you to take part in killing someone!" she said in disbelief.
"Technically, I'm not the one who's going to kill the poor guy. That's all up to Jesse's thugs." I commented.
Erica gave me a glare. "Still Sare! Your still going to be a part of it by being bait and luring that poor sap to his death!" she exclaimed harshly at me. I just flinched a little.
I looked down sadly. "I know...At least I won't have to witness them killing the guy. Once I bring him out, they're suppose to take him away to some location and then do the deed." I replied.
Erica's expression then lightened a little. "Well. I guess that's a plus!" she said sarcastically. I let out a small and quiet giggle at her. "Is he even going to pay you for taking part in such a horrible act?" she asked me.
"I don't know. I didn't really bother to ask." I replied meekly. "You know how scared and nervous I get when I'm around Jesse. Especially, if I'm in his office alone with him." I said with a shudder. I really don't like the guy. I see the way that he looks at me and I've seen that look from enough guys to know what it means. He wanted to have sex with me. Actually, he kind of already has on the first day that I met him, but I'm not going to get into that right now.
"Well. He better! Or else!" said Erica, bitterly. I just let out a laugh at her, but it wasn't a real one. But she couldn't tell. She looked over at me and smiled. Then she let out a sigh. "I just wish that there was something that I could do for you, so you won't have to be involved in something like this, knowing what the outcome will be. I wish I could protect you better. But there's nothing that I can do because I'm in the same boat as you. Being one of Jesse's girls and having to sleep with men for their money." she said sadly.
I shook my head and then walked over to her, putting my hands on her shoulders. "Hey! You've done enough for me already. You've given me a place to stay, you became my best friend, and you helped me during my first year of this job. You've become like a sister to me. And even though we're both in the same type of business together, I'm glad that I'm in it with you because then I'd never would of met you and made such an awesome friend." I said to her kindly, giving her a smile. "If anything, I should be doing more for you." I giggled. She smiled back at me and then I wrapped my arms around her, hugging her. She did the same.
"Sisters together." she said.
"Always forever." I added.
"Through any kind of weather!" we both said at the same time. We then laughed together. That was our little motto together that we came up with. And it was true. We we're like sisters to each other and I'm glad to have Erica in my life, but I still always had that hole...that emptiness in my heart for something that still always left me feeling broken and depressed inside. I never could really figure why I continued to feel this way. Not even Erica could fill this void of mine. There was something else. I knew that wanting to escape this life of mine as a prostitute was probably part of it, but there was something more...something bigger that I needed to escape this darkness. But what?
The sun was finally setting, which meant that it was showtime. I took one last look at the photo of the guy that I'm suppose to lure out, before placing it back into my purse and walking into the building. I looked around for the guy and finally found him at the bar. I let a quick sigh out and then made my way over to the guy and sat down next to him. I ordered a drink and just sat there. Out of the corner of my eye, I could tell that the guy was checking me out with hungry eyes. "Looks like he fell for it. Hook, line, and sinker." I thought.
"Hey there, sweet thang!" he greeted. I almost wanted to gag after he called me that. Some men are just pigs.
I just turned to him after getting my drink and thanking the bartender and gave the poor guy a fake smile. "Hey!" I greeted him.
He smiled back at me. "You know. You must be a theif?" he flirted. Oh no! Don't tell me he's going to give me that lame pick up line.
I play along and giggle at him. "Oh yeah? How come?" I replied with an amused look.
"Because you just totally stolen my heart." he answered smoothly with a smile. Yep! He just totally used it. I faked giggled again at him. "So. How's your night been?" he then asked me.
"Not to well." I replied looking down sadly. Which was kind of true. I never really have a good night when I'm in this line of work. "It could be better though." I said to him. Then the slime ball puts a hand on top of mine, that was resting on the counter, and was gently rubbing it. I looked up at the guy and he had this smug grin on his face.
"Well. Maybe I could be the one to make it better for you." he suggested seductively to me.
"Oh yeah? How?" I asked him, even though I already knew the answer to that one. He gave me a cheshire smile.
"Well...why don't you come with me to find out?" he answered in a seductive manner again.
I chuckled and then nod my head ok. He took my hand and lead me out of the building. As soon as we got outside I stopped the guy and looked at him.
"Wait!" I suddenly said.
He gave me a confused look. "What is it babe?" he asked.
"I much rather perfer to do this at my place. If you don't mind that is?" I suggested.
He gave me a smile. "Of course not babe. Your place it is then." he replied. I smiled back at the guy and then grabbed the guy's hand again and lead him down the street to his doom. I was mentally hating myself at what I was doing, but I had no choice. I lead the guy down a couple of blocks and down a dead end alleyway. The guy had a confused look on his face.
"What are we doing in an alley? Are we lost?" he asked me.
"No. Of course not. We are exactly where we're suppose to be." I replied.
He just looked even more lost at what was going on. Just then a car came pulling up into the alley, blocking the only exit. Two huge scary looking guys got out of the car and started to walk towards us. I recongized them as some of Jesse's thugs. The guy that I was with must of recognized them too because then his face held terror and he started to back away slowly.
"H-hey guys!" the man stuttered. The thugs just gave him a wicked smile. "I-I'm guessing Jesse found out that the money was fake. Look! I didn't realize that it was fake until it was too late! Ok! I swear!" the guy pleaded. I was starting to feel really bad for the guy.
"Yeah right!" said on of the thugs.
"L-look! I can pay him back!" said the man. Then he looked over at me. "Here! You can take the girl for payment!" he said, shoving me towards the two thugs. Then I heard a voice that sent shivers down my spine and that I thought wouldn't even be here for this.
"Now why would I accept on of my own girls as payment?" asked the voice.
Then I heard a car door open and out stepped Jesse. He closed the door and then walked over to us. My eyes went wide at the sight of him as did the unlucky guy who just tried to sell me out.
"J-Jesse! What are you doing you here?" I asked in shock.
"I just wanted to see that everything went according to plan." he replied with a grin.
"Look! I'm sorry! Alright?! I swear Jesse! I'll get you your money! I swear!" the guy pleaded again.
"Shut it!" snapped Jesse at him, harshly. "I've heard enough from you! You've had your chance to pay your debt off, but instead you chose to try and cheat me out of my money! So now you'll pay me back with your life!" replied Jesse in a harsh tone at the guy. Then one of the thugs walked to the car and retrieved a small silver brief case. He brought it over to Jesse and then opened it. Jesse reached in and grabbed whatever was inside and pulled out a silver gun that had some kind of engravings on it that I couldn't see to well because of the darkness. I let out a gasp at seeing Jesse then point the gun at the guy.
"Any last words?" he asked him.
"P-please Jesse! Don't do this! Please!" begged the guy, now on his knees with his hands clasped together. Then Jesse just gave the poor guy a smirk first and then pulled the trigger. I jumped at hearing the gun go off. I just stood there and watched as the poor man then fell to the ground, dead. I wanted to scream, but couldn't. I was too petrified at just witnessing someone being shot and killed right in front of me. It was one thing seeing this kind of thing in the movies or on tv because it was all fake, but in real life and expriencing the real thing, it was terrifying.
After which, Jesse then took a rag and wiped to gun off and placed the weapon back into the open case. "Take care this. Will ya, boys?" he said smugly to his two thugs.
"Sure thing boss." replied one of the thugs. After the one holding the brief case put it back in the car, he walked over to his partner and the two picked up the dead body and then proceeded to load it into the car's trunk. After the body was placed in the trunk, they stood there waiting for their boss's next order. Jesse then walked over to me.
"Excellent work Sarah." he praised me. I wanted to barf when he said that. I wasn't suppose to be here when they killed the guy!
"Jesse! I wasn't suppose to be here when the hit went down!" I exclaimed angrily.
He just gave one of his smug smiles. "Actually, my dear Sarah. I never said that you weren't suppose be around to witness the poor bastard's demise." he replied to me smugly. It was true now that I think about it. He never did say that I could leave once I lured the guy to the alley. I just assumed that his guys would of tied him up and then loaded him up in their car and take him somewhere else to off him. I just remained silent. I was about ready to break down in tears right then and there, but I managed to hold myself together in front of him. I didn't want him to see me cry because then he would probably just hit me and tell me to shut up and stop crying. Then he reach into his pocket and pulled out a wad of rolled up money and handed it to me. I quietly took the money and placed it in my purse. "Good girl." he praised me again, happy that I didn't try and protest against him about the matter. Then he kissed me on the cheek and then walked over to the car. "Let's go boys! We have a body to dispose of." he said getting into the car and shutting the door, with his thugs following suit. And then they drove away. After they were gone, I finally broke down and started to cry. I dropped to my knees and wrapped my arms around me and just cried. I never wanted to watch someone die! This is the worst night ever!
After awhile of crying, I decided that I couldn't stay here and that I should leave. When I got back up, I accidently dropped my purse and all it's contents fell out. As I was picking everything up I noticed a folded up piece of paper. I picked it up and unfolded it and saw that it was that guy's number from last night. "Should I even call him? No! I can't!" I thought. "But I could really use someone to talk to right now. Erica won't be home until late tonight because it's her night to work the streets tonight." I thought some more. After some thought, I decided why not and finished picking up my stuff and then took out my phone and called him.
A/N: There you have it! Poor Sarah! Having to witness such a horrible crime and having to take part in it. My heart goes out to her. So hopefully the next chapter will be a little bit more better for her. You'll just have wait and see. Until then, Byyyeee! ;)
