Chapter 2
Sookie jerked out of slumber by a door slamming downstairs, looking next to her to see that Alyssa was still passed out. She got up quietly to hear what was going on, only opening the door a little, but it was enough for the voices to carry back up to her.
“You’re such a fucking prick! I caught you staring at Sophie-Anne’s breasts every time she came over to our table, and don’t even think about denying it. You are so damn obvious, you little perv.”
“Oh, don’t you act all innocent with me,” Bill spat. “I may have looked, but you’re the one who’s actually fucking someone else. Yeah, I know all about your affairs, but do I ever get on your case about them? No, because I could really care less. You could fuck the entire town for all I care; this marriage was never about love. It was always about money, you would be lost without me and you know it. I could decide to leave you in an instant and there’s nothing you could do about it. I guarantee when that happens, you won’t be getting a penny.”
Lorena slapped him across the face. “You wouldn’t dare!”
He growled. “Don’t test me, sweetheart, you don’t know just what I’m capable of.”
Sookie closed the door, having heard enough. She went over to Alyssa’s bed to see that the girl was now awake, cuddling back up to her side.
“Mommy and Daddy are fighting again,” she whispered sadly.
Sookie kissed the top of her head. “I know, honey, that happens sometimes with adults. It doesn’t mean they love you any less.” She cringed at having to say that, knowing those two probably didn’t love anything. They hadn’t shown any care for their daughter since Sookie first started working for them nearly six months ago; it was like she didn’t even exist to them. Sookie lost her parents at a young age, but even growing up without them, she knew she was loved. She had her Gran and not a day went by that she didn’t miss the elder woman.
It was quiet now and Sookie knew it was probably time to go home, although she hated leaving Alyssa behind. If she could, she would take that little girl with her and never look back. She deserved to have a real family. “I have to go now, sweetie, but I’ll be back tomorrow. Just keep your door shut after I leave, okay? No one will bother you if it’s closed; you’re always safe in here. And if things get too scary, just go hide in the tent we put up together. Remember what I told you?”
Alyssa nodded. “It’s a magic tent that keeps all the monsters away.”
Even the human ones, Sookie thought to herself, giving the girl one last hug and kiss on the cheek. She left the room and walked lightly down the stairs, hoping to just leave without coming across either of the Compton’s, but luck was not to be on her side.
“Sookie, trying to sneak out, are you?”
She put on another fake smile as she turned around to greet Bill. “Of course not, I just didn’t want to bother you. Alyssa was a perfect angel, as always, just in case you were wondering.”
He grinned. “I wasn’t, but that’s nice to know. You’ve been very good for her. In fact, I would love to take you out to dinner tonight as a thank you.”
Sookie shuddered when he trailed a finger down her arm, taking a step back. “That’s very kind of you, sir, but I had plans to meet with some friends tonight. Maybe we could take a rain check.”
Bill’s smile turned chilling, not used to being rejected, but he only nodded in response. “Very well, I’ll just see you tomorrow. If you would like to avoid my wife’s wrath from now on, I would try to be on time.”
She let out a breath when he walked away, not able to leave that house fast enough.

“I can’t believe you brought me here, Ames, we were supposed to be going to Merlotte’s.”
Amelia waved her hand in the air. “No offense to Sam, but Merlotte’s is played out. Besides, I was hoping we would run into your hottie. Has he called you yet?”
“No, and he’s probably not going to. He looked just as embarrassed as I did. Plus, I threw up after I saw him standing there; I doubt he ever wants to see me again. I’m pretty sure he won’t be here,” Sookie responded, somewhat upset at the thought of never seeing him again, but it was most likely for the best.
“Do you remember anything before you left last night?”
Sookie shook her head. “We talked, flirted, there were lots of drinks involved, but I can’t for the life of me remember anything that we chatted about.”
The brunette nodded. “Well, you seemed to forget one very important detail,” she said, turning her friend around to face the bar.
Sookie’s eyes widened when she saw him, Eric Northman, tending the bar like a pro. “He’s the bartender? Yeah, I definitely don’t remember that. I thought he was just some guy who came up to me because he saw that I was getting plastered.”
“This is like fate or something, now’s your chance to go talk to him.”
Before Sookie could protest, Amelia was shoving her over to the bar. She noticed that Eric looked really busy, he had a smile that lit up the entire room, and every woman was practically eating out the palm of his hand. What was she thinking hooking up with someone like him? He probably made a habit of going home with random strangers all the time, but she came this far and wasn’t about to back out now. With that thought in mind, she headed over to the bar and got right in front of him, ordering a gin and tonic. Sookie was wondering if he would even remember her, but when his eyes widened, it was clear that he did.
“Coming right up,” he told her. “Don’t go anywhere; I want to talk to you.”
Sookie nodded, not knowing if sticking around for that conversation would be a good idea or not. What the hell did she get herself into?
