Tonya stands at the door for a beat. Hesitation has her rooted in place as she looks over her shoulder at the door, staring at the ‘LADIES’ sign as though it has answers—

It doesn’t.

And Tonya can’t much handle Billie and Preston’s bullshit. Not today, not any day, really.

With a sigh, she ties the apron tight and heads behind the bar. Looking up at the clock, she counts only ten minutes or so that Billie can cry in the bathroom. The lunch rush is coming—and it’ll be chaos in here.

Tonya finds herself reaching out for a clean shot glass and tequila bottle. She shoots a swift look around—no one out here with her—before she fills the glass and lifts her to her lips.

Cletus.

She tips the glass.

Mr. Fix It.

Tequila slides down her throat with a bite of pain.

She swallows the pain gladly. It’s a friend to her this day. She’ll need it to get through the shift.

Tonya wasn’t in any way sad about his death. She mourned him none at all. If anything, maybe a bit relieved? She wasn’t entirely sure.

What she did know for sure was that his name spoken aloud was a knitting needle stabbed through the gut. It was the need to run to the nearest shower and stay there for days. To hold her twin, Gigi, and cry for not protecting her.

No, Tonya wasn’t at all sad about Cletus being ‘butchered’, as Billie said. She needed the liquid courage to get through what was coming—

Everyone talking about that sonofabitch. His name on repeat, a CD that jumps on the same word over and fucking over until you get so damn frustrated that you end up slapping the life outta your CD Player.

The traumas dished out that night were different for them all. Kate and Billie got their hands dirty. But how Tonya and Gigi got dirty themselves…

Well that’s the kind of dirty that showers can’t wash away.
