Into the Dark

After leaving home and this time for good. Because things where getting ugly, and I was loosing my shit out there . I came to New York City a place where people not only dream to become something but also try and live there dream. Thinking of having a new life without my past destroying it, I rented a small room with kitchen n bathroom. I can't call it apartment because my bedroom and kitchen is in same room with a grey colour wall paint all over the place, only a separate bathroom, which was decent with a shower, toilet and sink with a small old mirror on it. It is good, atleast I have a roof over me. And a job of waitress in a diner, till I find an actual job for myself.

My life was not this pathetic before. It was good. I study from good school and college, did my masters. But things got bitter after I got a job. Everything was so heart aching and nerve wrecking that I really don't wanna go back again. Specially to my family who rather supporting me in my problems had only looked and treated at me like filth. That was the point I thought to leave the place and start a life fresh in an unknown place.

Well so far life is ok. With regular routine of getting up early morning and freshen up, setup a breakfast for myself and then leave for the job. As my job place was not so far from my room, I prefer walking till there. It's just two yards from my place. I enter the diner n check my attendance sheet and went to change in the diner uniform. As our diner owner is kind of pervert he preferred girls with mini skirt and very tight fitting short sleeve shirt, which will expose a bit of your cleavage. I hate wearing such dresses but can't do anything need this job for the living.

The whole day was very busy, it was too crowded. I didn't get a chance to look for job vacancy on newspaper. Well will do once I am off my shift, thinking that in mind I continue to complete my shift. Once I was about to get off my shift Mr. Patrick came our boss, telling me to do overshift coz Jane was on sick leave. Aggrrhh... Feel like killing him can't he see I was so overloaded throughout the day and again he is telling me to take Jane's work too. But I need this job, low heartedly I said yes for it. And as usual being a jerk himself came close and said " I knew babe, you won't say no to me. I love that about you". Giving me a smirk, he winked at me and left from there.

The diner was an average place not much of fancy. It has a bar in the end and some pool table on the opposite of the place. Whole place was wooden furnshied, giving it an awesome wooden cabin in a forest look. In the middle it is the sitting area for people to have food. The night shift was also alot crowded as it's a Friday night and people basically come for drinks and pool table. It was too hectic throughout with serving drinks and food. People on this night comes to release there mental pressure and enjoy themselves with music, drink and food. I sometimes envy them coz I too want a life like them, enjoying in the moment. But fate had other plans for me.

When it was almost closing time and there were no more customer in the diner. I cleaned the area and about to go to changing room, my boss came and blocked my way. "What you want to say now Mr. Patrick" I asked feeling totally annoyed by his behaviour. "Its not what I want to say, actually I want you" he said with an evil grin plastered on his face. Fuck not again can't tolerate this guy anymore. I pushed him aside and was about to leave but he pulled me back in this arm with a tight grip.

"Not so soon sweetheart, not before I get what I want" he said trying to kiss me. I was about to slap him but our diner door open and the bell ring informing that we have a customer. Feeling relieved I ran to the counter to address my savior. There was four huge men. They were far scarier than Patrick, but right now they became my saviour so I will go with it.

"Four wishky on the rocks" before I could ask what they want one of the guy with dark brown hair n brown colour eye with sharp jawline, he had good build up almost like a wwf fighter. His suit was fitted like second sin. It won't be wrong to say he was danm handsome.

I prepared the drink very slow and steady, so that Patrick get tired and go home leaving me to close the diner as he usually does everyday with other staffs.

I went to serve the drink to those four men. "Your drinks sir" saying I served them and then faced them to note if they need anything else "do you people would like to have something else" looking at all four men. Danm I was wrong not the only brown haired guy was handsome but all four of them. They had different feature but almost same height of six feet. But one of them caught my eyes with emerald green eyes and dark raven black hair which was his shoulder length long. He was not just handsome.. no scratch it.. he was devilish handsome.

I was so mesmerized by his eyes that I didn't noticed someone called me from my side. "Excuse me, are you deaf... Hello, excuse me". I abruptly came out of my whatever trance I was in and noticed a guy from one of them who had a blond hair and child like facial expression with baby blue eye colour staring at me like I was some joker entertaining him. "Sorry for my absenteeism, what can I get you" I asked him rectifying my stupid mistake.

"Well a ham burger for me and grill chicken for rest of them". I took the ordered and left to prepare the same. Yes, at time like this I also cook the order for my customer. I prepared the food and served them without looking to the magical eyed man because ofcourse I don't want to make fool out of myself.

I returned to my post in the back of the counter. Waiting for them to finish, pay and leave. Meanwhile I search for the vacancy in the newspaper. Suddenly a thought crossed my mind, where is Patrick. I didn't see him leaving after the changing room incident.which was very suspicious.

Waving of the gnawing thought from my mind. I went to collect the payment. "Thank you, hope you liked the food" saying I took the money. And started cleaning the table after they left. I also changed the clothes and locked the diner by myself, as I didn't see Patrick in the diner. Thinking he must have left. I also left the diner for my place.

As soon as I came out in cold night it felt very quiet which was very unusual. Feeling bit uncomfortable with the environment, I started walking to my room. When I came to a corner near a dark alley, I was suddenly pulled by a strong hand. I tried to shout but he covered my mouth with his hand and turned me around. I got scared like hell looking at my boss who was having menacing grin plastered on face with red shot eyes.

Oh no....God please save me!
