Thread: Beautiful Disaster [[Writer & AshlinnRose]]

Ash slowly rose up from the crouch that she had been in as Jai slid from the seat and she lightly gripped the girl by her elbow, not wanting her to fall over. She glanced over towards the guy that was sitting there, not entirely sure why he had Jai so panicked, but she knew that something had to be done. She had already taken care of the mess and she needed to make sure that Jai knew not to speak up about it, as she wanted to take the fall for the girl to avoid her getting in far more trouble than she deserved, as she really didn't deserve getting into any trouble with how shaken up she appeared to be. Jai... No worries, love. I've got it all sorted out and I'll tell Melanie that I did it on accident. You don't worry about a thing, she muttered with a small smile as she helped to support the girl that she had come to care about quite a bit, as she knew that she could turn to her for help. She kept a light grip on Jai's elbow until she was sure that she wouldn't end up toppling over from her trembling, which still hadn't seemed to stop. She ground her teeth together lightly, thoroughly upset that someone could instill such a reaction in her friend, as she was incredibly protective of the younger girl. She wasn't sure why, but she had always seen Jai as someone who was incredibly strong, yet still someone who needed to be looked after every once and a while. If you need to go to the bathroom, go for it. I've got it all covered here... she muttered softly, leaning close so that the words were whispered into Jai's ear, as she didn't want to draw attention to the fact that she would be leaving the safety of being behind the bar. She was especially worried about the other girl due to the fact that she was so petrified by the man at the other end of the bar. She wondered if he was someone from her past or something that might end up causing harm to her, which Ash would not allow at any time. She quickly glanced towards the bouncer, deciding right then that it might be time for the guy to leave. She was thoroughly upset herself that someone could get to Jai like this and she wanted to get him out of there as soon as possibly, if for nothing else than to allow the other girl to have some piece of mind and clarity to finish up the shift. Tell me if you want him out of here and I'll get him out for you, she suddenly added in Jai's ear, not even risking a glance towards the man this time. She was almost certain that she knew what Jai's answer would be, but she wanted to hear the other girl actually say it before she took any actions that could end badly for her. She was already taking the fall for the bottle and, while she would always do anything for her friend, she didn't want to cause enough problems in one night that might result in her managing to lose her job or the bar-tending position that she had worked so hard to achieve. She had previously worked as a dancer in the club, something that she really hated as it meant that anybody that walked into the club could pretty much put his hands all over her. She had finally decided that enough was enough and began practicing to be a bartender. That was probably around the time that her and Jai had grown close, as she had asked the younger girl to help her out a bit with her drink pouring and mixing and things like that. She hoped that with her coaching, she would be able to get out of the shitty job that she had and move onto something that was better and a little safer. Finally, after a lot of hard work, she managed to get promoted and there was no way that she wanted to risk it. However, she did have a bit of merit in the club because of how hard she worked, so she hoped that she could pull a few strings to get some shady guy out of the place without getting into too much trouble. She shook her head a bit and pulled herself out of her thoughts, her raven black hair shifting on her shoulders some as she finally returned her attention to Jai. She started to tune out the sounds of the club as she focused in on her friend, waiting for her response. She knew that she needed to go attend to the customers at the bar, but her first priority was to make sure that the younger girl didn't pass out or throw up.
