6.

I spent the next day ignoring Nick's texts. He must've written me one-hundred times that day, but I didn't have the heart answer him. No it was best to make a clean break of it. We had a few laughs, and I had a great time. That's all there was to it.

"What is wrong with you?" Jen told me after I finished telling her what happened the night before.

"There's nothing wrong. I'm just being logical." I spoke in my calmest voice. "This story doesn’t have a happy ending."

"So this rich and handsome guy wants you. And you run for the hills?" Jen tilted her chin.

"Trust me. He’ll forget about me soon enough." I got up from the sofa and grabbed my coat. "We're going to be late for work."

"Unbelievable." Jen snatched her purse and met me at the door.

We drove through the city at frantic pace and made it to The Dirty Thirty on time. One of the bar-backs had already set up. A few people I didn’t recognize cleaned. Frank pecked away on a laptop.

"Glad to see you ladies tonight," his face brightened as we walked into the room. "I was little worried that Candi had run away with that Hollywood dude."

"No need to worry about that,” Jen spoke up and gestured my way. “She's practical."

He tossed me a white towel. "Get ready. We’ll be opening in a few."

"I busied myself with work. Before long, the doors opened and the patron’s streamed in. As usual people expected me to sing. My heart wasn’t in it and I tried to avoid it all night.

“Come on Candi," Jen shook my shoulders. "It'll probably lift your spirits up." So, I went to the stage as the crowd cheered me on. I noticed the group from a few nights ago. "So, back for more?"

"Are you kidding? The last time was epic. Our Facebook page got mega-hits because somebody posted a video of Nick Ortiz singing with us!"

"Cool," I tried really hard not to think about the past few nights and everything that happened. It seemed like an eternity ago. "You guys know Back on the Chain Gang by the pretenders." I asked them. The skinny redhead nodded, and then yelled something to his band.

The song started. It was one of my favorite Chrissie Hynde classics. I poured my heart into it. Everything came out in that song, my sadness, and fears. My voice captured all the raw emotion in my heart. It was there for the entire world to see, my misery, pain, and regret. The band kept up with me, sensing my mood. Saltwater pooled in the corners of my eyes, but I kept from sobbing. When the song ended, the audience clapped, but not with the usual enthusiasm. I left stage and slumped behind the bar.

"Oh well, that was depressing as shit," Jen folded her arms.

"Lay off, okay," I pushed past her and went to work pouring drinks. Jen mumbled something and disappeared. The patrons ordered their poison. A few attempted to socialize.
