Janet pulls up in front of the bar and shuts her car off. She leaves her phone in the glove box and heads out into the night. It had gotten cooler since she left the house and she failed to bring her coat. Janet heads into the bar, she is not thinking of anything other than having a few drinks and think about what she had saw outside Sean’s garage. Janet enters the bar; the dim lights and gloomy atmosphere is what she needs to try to forget the scene that is burning in her brain. How could he do this to me. This is the thoughts she keeps thinking over and over.
Janet sits down, Dawn notices something is wrong. The bar’s not busy tonight and Janet is grateful. She doesn’t want to be sociable this evening.
“What can I get you, Janet?” Dawn asks Janet. Knowing something is wrong with her friend.
“My usual, I don’t want to hear it. It’s been a day I need a drink.” Janet says dryly.
Dawn with no other words turns around and grabs rum and a Diet Pepsi. This had been the drink Janet used to forget her problems. She doesn’t know what is vexing her best friend, but she is determined to find out. She pours the rum and Diet Pepsi in a tall glass and sets it in front of Janet. Dawn says nothing. She smiles and lets Janet stew in her juices, she will talk before long and then Dawn will find out what is bothering her friend.
Janet stares into her drink, the scene at Sean’s garage burned into her brain. The sheer look of pleasure on his face as he kissed another woman was unmistakable. A tear escapes from her eye and her vision clouds. She pulls back the tears, she refuses to let anymore fall and give him the satisfaction of crushing her heart. The door of the bar opens breaking the spell Janet has been enduring. A gust of wind enters with the man she talked to a very short time ago about going to see Gary Anderson. Derrek Zimmerman walks with his blazing blue eyes focused on her. His dark almost black hair cut in business sense. Janet fidgets in her seat, not understanding why this man makes her feel nervous.
