the bar was unusually crowded for a wednesday night. although, strangely enough, she recognized the faces of many of the regulars within the place. jessica never really tried to get to know people. so the fact that she could identify most of these strangers in a crowd meant that her photographic memory was improving --- or her dependency on alcohol.
the girl shrugged and took a long sip of her whiskey. the bourbon itself tasted like shit. it was the cheapest thing that she could order in this place, and even the bartender had voted against it, but jessica knew better. if you just got through the initial horrible taste - you couldn’t even taste the rest of it.
dark eyes ghosted over the rest of the dump. red paint on the walls was chipping off, one girl was practically stripping, and one man stood alone. she thought he’d be unfamiliar. but after staring for a bit longer -- jessica realized that she recognized his face. it was one that she would’ve preferred to forget.
her fingers curled. if she did this, she’d most definitely be banned from returning to this bar. ( but that was probably a GOOD thing. ) impulse set in and destroyed her small amount of morality. jessica threw herself at him, one hand grabbing the collar of his shirt and the other slamming him into the wall. everybody grew SILENT. ( it wasn’t every day you saw a small woman pick up a grown man. )
“you try anything with me and i’ll shove that beer bottle up your ass with my pinky finger,” she spat, pressing her elbow to his throat. “GOT IT?”
