College, what a blast!

And I just lay there, I couldn’t move, my world was spinning, I leaned up onto my elbow and whipped my head to look at will, my hair flying over my shoulder. I looked into those eyes, the one I had come to care for, and I knew he could see my hate, the only other man that had hit me and lived was the sheriff. Not even Daddy lived after hitting me.
The young Chinaman bent to help me to my feet, and I took his arm to help me up. I didn’t’ remove my hand after I was up, I was afraid of toppling over again. It had been a long time since I had been hit.
“Thank you.” I told the Chinaman. I smiled at him, though he still looked at me with a worried look.
By that time James and Marry were already headed to the table. Will was sure to get a good lashing for that, Marry was not kind to those who hit her women.
“What the hell happened here? Did these Chinamen start something Will?”
“Will hit me! The Chinamen did nothing!” I screeched. Shocked that James immediately blamed the Chinamen.
“The girl did not check if they had the money.” Will retorted.
“They are our customers, and I have no need to be rude and… and what ever William defines himself as. He is disgusting and despicable and I hope you get yellow Fever and die! Ya… foul… little creature!”
The tavern seemed to hold it’s breathe as James spoke. “You may leave now, girl. You will not insult my barkeep. Leave.”
I just looked at him for a moment before walking up to Will and punching him square in the face, “You can keep you’re stupid saloon and barkeep, y’all ain’t nothin’ no way.” And I huffed off to my quarters, to gather my things.
I didn’t have much, didn’t need it. All I had were three dresses, one I was wearing, one I was gonna sell and one to change. And the money I’d been saving, most of the women spent theirs but I knew I was gonna be gone some day.
I hate crying, and that’s what I was doing crying, the tears kept falling on my trunk. I looked in my mirror and wiped my eyes and face so when I left no one could see it, and then I walked out.
I walked through the saloon, most walked out the back, but I walked through the saloon, and looked James, Mary, and Will straight in the eyes, and they all looked away first.
I may be leaving, but I still won, I was right.
When I stepped outside I was met by seven Chinamen. They all looked at me, not leering like the other men; they looked at me, almost bashfully.
“We, want-say, sorry for costing, job.” The younger one said
“It’s fine, I’m just gonna head up north s’more, and make a livin’ in the big city, really y’all did my a favor, thank you.” I smiled at them and they smiled back as the boy translated.
“We wish you luck.” He told me.
“And I you.” I said back, these men deserved more respect than any of the ones in this town, and I hoped they got on with their lives.
“You need money for train?” He asked me and held out a handful of bills. The greedy side of me wanted to tell him I was broke, and take it all. But I wasn’t like that, I wasn’t Billy.
“Nah, after I sell my other dress I’ll have plenty thank y’all, and good luck.”
