Part: One
I walked over towards the bar, I heard Sam B's voice blaring in the speakers, "Shrunken heads, broken legs, body parts on the concrete. Cut 'em up butcher style, gators in the swamp!" I sat down on a stool, "Bartender, give me a beer!" I yelled over the music, "Red light, leave 'em dead, runnin' like a track meet. Scared of nobody, what you motherfuckers want?" He was speaking to two girls at the end of the bar, paying no attention what's so fuckin' ever to me. "BARTENDER, I asked for a beer!" I screamed louder over the music this time. "Believe me when I tell 'em I'm a boogeyman beast. Leave 'em slashed from they head to they feet." Finally I got his attention and he walked over to me. "Sorry mate, hard to hear over the music." He yelled back in return. "Who the hell puts a speaker right over a damn bar!" I almost had to scream in return. "God damn music" I mumbled to myself. -"Pin pricks to the chest of a bitch well earned. Cookin' meat, cannibal tryna eat."- "You wanted a beer right?" I nodded, and he handed me a cold one. He stalked back off to the two girls he was talking to earlier. He better pay attention because this damn sure ain't going to be my only one all night. I tilted my head back and downed some of the cold beer. It felt good going down my dry throat. I had been asleep till recently. I look over at the stage where Sam B was preforming the speakers still blasting music into my ears, I wouldn't be surprised if I didn't go deaf from fuckin' sitting here. "I got a zombie army and you can't harm me. Who do you voodoo bitch? Drink blood like a vampire without warnin'! Who do you voodoo bitch!? Stand up!" What the hell kind of song was this? It was pretty popular, but I didn't understand why. I downed the rest of my beer, and yelled for the bartender again. "Hey! Over here numb nuts. Get me another beer!" The bartender gave me a dirty look before he stalked over and grabbed me another cold one. That's when the girls he has been swooning over, noticed me. "Logan Carter!?" They screamed my name in unison. "Hell yeah ladies, who else!" I laughed, finally somebody was fuckin' noticing me. They ran over and both sat on the stools beside me. "Wow it's really you!" One of the girls said, she had bleach blond hair, with eyebrows that didn't match, bright red lips and a layer of make-up that covered up the rest of her face. "In the flesh." I yelled in return the song still blaring in the speakers. "Sam B got the thing that go bump in the night! Who do you voodoo, bitch?! Hide your kids, grab your wife, better got o' sight! Who do you voodoo, bitch! Let's go!" The other girl wrapped her arm into my arm that was propped up on the table, this girl had brunette hair, it looked natural enough, at least her eyebrows matched, her lips were a bright red, probably the same lip stick as the blond. They were both skinny, to skinny, I liked my girls to have a little meat. I didn't want no stick. "What brings you here to Banoi?" the blond asked, as the brunette hummed along with the music. "Sam B to Papa Shango and Baron Samedi. Handful of fingertips, toss 'em up like confetti." Only bimbos like this would be trying to hum along to a rap song. "Ya know I'm Logan Carter! I love to have fun, and I heard this place was a blast." They smiled at me, and the brunette started to rub along my leg. I took her hand and pushed it off. I wasn't looking for to sleep with these girls, I could do better. I chuckled to myself. "Let's not do that." I said serious, and she laughed, "Oh come on loosen up Logie, have some fun!" Logie? What the fuck? "My name is Logan, not Logie." I said pulling my arm out of hers. I grabbed my beer and downed it as quick as I could, I was going to need it. "Bartender!" I screamed over the music again. I didn't see the man that was serving me earlier. I heard the girls on either side of me singing along to the music, "Stable full o' corpse bitches, I'm a pimp of the dead. Come fuck with a zombie, I'll put a stake in your head. Look, you want ghouls? I got fuckin' platoons!" I looked up at the sky, "Lord please help me." I stood up leaning to try to see around the people gathered at the bar to find the bartender. "Bartender! I yelled again, louder. "Yes sir?" I jumped when a girl in front of me replied. "I'm looking for the bartender the man that was just here a few minutes ago." I answered. "Yes sir, Rooney is off his shift. I will be giving out the drinks now Sir." I looked at her, her face was sweet, her skin was tan, must be from staying on this island, she must live here. "Baby everybody dies, I'll see your ass real soon. Crack bones to the marrow, hot sauce while they suck it." It took me awhile to realize who she reminded me off. "Ruby." The words left my lips before I could catch them. "How do you know my name?" She asked, her voice sounding uneasy. For fuck's sake, her name was Ruby! It's bad enough she looked like Ruby, but just my luck her name was Ruby, too. "I didn't know it. You just looked like someone I knew, her name was Ruby.." She looked at me, but I couldn't look back. I was staring down at the bar table. "Can I have a beer?" I asked not looking up. "Sure." She grabbed me a cold one and set it in front of me. "You okay she asked?" I didn't looked up when I replied, I wouldn't be surprised if she didn't hear me over the music blaring from the speakers. "Yea," I mumbled, "I'm fine." I looked up and looked at her face, it looked worried, but she didn't voice it out loud. "Yell if you need another beer." The two girls at my side, still singing along with the song were now starting to get on my nerves worse than before. "Now my juju ain't nothin' to fuck with Sam B. Cut your head off, leave you motherfuckers dead. I got a zombie army and you can't harm me. Who do you voodoo, bitch?" The song was finally ending so I wouldn't have to deal with them singing anymore, even so I wanted em to leave me the hell alone. "Look ladies why don't you go bother someone else?" I must of sounded like I was joking since they didn't budge from the spot they were in. "I said why don't you two go and fuckin' bug someone else." This time they seemed to hear me, because they stood up, and glared at me. "No need to be so rude asshole, just because you use to be a big shot doesn't mean you are anymore." Ouch, harsh. I am still a somebody! Who care what those bimbos thought. If I wasn't so against hitting women I would of hit that bitch in the back of her head with my beer bottle. I looked at the beer that sat in front of me, I grabbed it up and drank it as quick as the last one I had. I was about to ask for another when I realized I had to look at the Ruby look alike again. I banged my hand on the table loud enough for her to hear, as I called out "Bartender!" She walked over to where I was, not even looking up I spoke, "Can I get another beer?" I could start to feel the effects the alchool was having on me. "Sure thing." she replied sweetly and turned to grab me another cold one. "Why do you look so down?" She asked as she set the beer in front of me and I grabbed the beer, and took a big gulp of it. "You just look like someone I know." Sadness was taking over me now as I thought back to that night. The screeching of the tires as I slammed on the brakes, the look on Ruby's face.. I stopped myself there, the only memory I had after that was the news that Ruby was dead, and because of me. The tears started to threaten to fall over. I swiped my arm quickly across my eyes before they fell. I grabbed my beer and took a swig before I set it back on the bar. Ruby, not my Ruby, I thought to myself as I said her name in my mind, seemed to have noticed I was upset. "Hey hun, what's wrong?" I looked up at her pain clear in my eyes. "It's a long story, Ruby." I said her name and it felt like my heart was going to fall to pieces. "My shift will be over soon, I only work till three.(am) If you want to talk about it?" She said, before adding on "Unless you're already with someone here.." I laughed, I was alone as always. The only person who was always there, was gone, thanks to me. "I ain't with no one." I replied to her. "Just wait for me here okay? Don't go anywhere." I looked up at her, just in time to see her smile, a smile so beautiful, and full of memories it torn at my heart.
Ruby's POV
"Hey hun, what's wrong?" I asked the man sitting at the bar, he looked up at me pain clear in his eyes. "It's a long story, Ruby." He said my name, he said it so sweet, so soft I didn't think I would hear it over the music coming from the speakers. "My shift will be over soon, I only work till three.(am) If you want to talk about it?" I asked, not thinking that he might've been here with someone else, maybe that was why he was upset. He and his wife might of gotten into a fight. "Unless you're already with someone here.." He laughed, I was confused, if was as if he had some secret joke. "I ain't here with no one." He replied his words seems like they had a double meaning behind them. If he was alone, I didn't want him to be alone and depressed bad things happened when you were sad, and alone. I'd know I tugged at my sleeve covering my arm. "Just wait here for me okay? Don't go anywhere." He was staring down at the bar until he looked up, and I gave him a smile, but my smile only seemed to cause him to look more sad. He's been here for awhile, when I first arrived he'd been with two girls, until he saw me he wasn't acting as if he was depressed and drinking old memories away. I feel so connected to him, yet I've never laid eyes on him before.
Review? Please!? I would mean a lot! Like/Love/Hate! tell me! :D
