No Good Byes Chapter 23

As Amanda drove around Rome, she had no idea where she was going. She spoke Italian fluently so if she needed directions she could have easily pulled over, but she wasn’t sure where she wanted to go, or how to deal with everything. It was bad enough that it was her parents one year anniversary in a few weeks but now with Nick.

“ok so where am I going now?” Amanda said to herself. As she drove her cell phone started ringing, at first she didn’t pick up, but she felt she should

“hello?”

“Amanda, are you ok?”

“Kim?” Amanda asked

“hey yeah its me, tell me where you are, I’m coming to get you”

“Let me speak to her” Nick screamed

“is Nick with you?” Amanda asked

“yeah, listen tell me where you are, are you ok? Amanda it was a big-” Amanda hung up, she didn’t want to deal with anyone at the moment, she felt she couldn’t. Right as she looked up a sign for a near by bar passed her

“should I?” She asked “what the hell I dont care about my life anymore, nothing ever goes right, everything is always wrong!” She said turning into the parking lot of the bar. Her phone started to ring again but she picked it up then hung up. As she walked into the bar so many things were flashing through her head.

“What can I do for you ma’am?” the bar tender asked as Amanda pulled up a chair at the bar table Amanda looked at her choices

“can I please have a tequilla?”

“surely” the bar tender answered. He looked at her, he had seen many people come in and drink their lives away, “may I ask whats wrong miss?”

“call me Amanda, and well it’s everything, just my life, it just....sucks” She said taking a sip of her drink, swallowing it hard, she couldn’t believe she was actually doing this, but she felt she had to. Amanda had never drinked alchol before and for some reason she felt she was dependent on it.

“well, sometimes talking about it helps, you can call me Mike” he said trying to help Amanda

“no thats ok, another please” Amanda asked finsihing the shot of tequilla. The rest of the night Amanda drank tequilla’s straight, then going to anything with hard liquor.

“listen Amanda, I think you had enough” Mike said getting worried

“no..one..more come on buddy one more” Amanda said slurring each and every word

“no, I think its time we called a cab”

“no cab.no cab...I gots my car parked”

“no come on, I’ll call up a cab” Mike said picking up the phone

“ok” Amanda said. As Mike turned his back to get the phone book Amanda creeped out of there.

“damn it where did she go?” Mike asked very concerned, he noticed there was no other car int he parking lot except for his. He bowed his head praying to god she didn’t get hurt.
