Ghost In The Mirror

I went back to work today for the first time in about a week. I came back earlier than expected. I needed a distraction and my boss understands that. I told her about what happened and she said the best thing to do was get my mind off things.

Austin is pissed. He almost came back just so he could beat up Josh. I convinced him not to though, thankfully. Alan is mad to, which is scarey. He's never mad.

All the guys are pissed at him. Josh went off on them, saying that he wasn't their friends and they needed to get a life. It broke my heart. Josh was turning against the people who care most about him.

He called all the girls sluts, including me. Apperently we, the people that would do anything and everything for him, aren't worth his time.

Speaking of the devil, he just walked through the doors with his pack of scandalous bitches. They all went to a booth in the back of the shop but one, who walked up to the register. "What can I get you?" I asked dryly.

From the corner of my eye I saw Josh wincing as a blond bimbo hugged him. He wrapped an arm around her anyways and kissed her. I pushed back the tears that were fighting to be let free. I can't cry at work.

"A dozen glazed." He smiled. I nodded then typed him order into the register. I gave him his price and he paid. I went to the back and started on their order.

My boss saw me enter and sent me a small smile. I tried to return it but the only thing that happened was my lip startarting to quiver. Tears started pooling out of my eyes as Mrs. Kim pulled me into a hug.

"What is it sweetie?" She cooed, rubbing my back.

"He's here and he has someone else." I explained, trying to stop the tears that were flowing.

"Im sorry." She hugged me tighter then let me go. "Go get cleaned up. Ill fix up the order and give it to them." She demanded.

"Its fine. I can give it to them. The sooner they get it, the sooner he leaves." I said dully. She nodded sadly. I went to the bathroom and did my best to hide the fact that I had been crying.

When I was satisfied I went back into the kitchen and grabbed their box. I walked to the main area and to their booth, setting the box down. Josh looked up at me and we made eye contact for a breif second before the blonde that he was with practically begged for his attention. The guy who ordered followed me back to the register, stopping me before I could walk behind the counter by grabbing my wrist.

"Are you alright?" He asked me. I turned around, furrowing my eyevrows in confusion. "You seem upset."

"Im fine." I sent him a small smile and tried to walk back around to my register. He still wouldn't let me go.

"I don't believr you." He urged. "You've been crying." He says sadly after inspecting my eyes a bit.

"Im fine. I promise." I assured him.

"If you need to talk to someone, I'll listen." He stated then walked back to his booth. He sat by Josh. He kept looking over towards me, making me realize they were talking about me.

About? I don't know. Do I want to? No. I don't want to know what they think of me.

They all got up and everyone left except for the one guy who talked to me before. "I never got your name." He stated, pushing his hands deep into his pockets. "Im Brad Gealy."

"Im Tarra Baldwin." I replied.

"Well, when do you get off, Tarra?"

"In an hour."

"Do you think I could take you home?"

"No. I live just right around the corner. Thanks anyways."

"Ill walk you home then. I'll be back in an hour." He insited, walking out the door before I could tell him no.

I sighed. I wanted peacfulness after work, not Josh's new friend following me. "Maybe he'll be good for you." I heard my boss say from behind me.

I turned around and sent her a small smile. "Maybe." I said. She smiled and tossed me a rag.

"Start wiping." She chuckled. I smirked and started wiping down the booths like I was told.

Maybe Mrs. Kim was right. Brad could help get my mind off Josh and that's what I need, right?
