Hope

17. "Then why make us?"

Annabeth

I should have known. After the whole debacle with my mum and dad yesterday, both Ellie and I had been locked in our rooms. The lock on Ellie's bedroom door was new, mine had been there since I was roughly fourteen. Well, this one was since I was sixteen when my parents realised I could still sneak out, and put me on the top floor. Little did they know, I still could.

I gave it plenty of time as I still had to get to work on time and had my backpack ready on my back as I opened my window. Slowly, I eased out on the ledge and jumped to the balcony of my parents room. I then sped over the balcony railing and dropped down to the next level. I held on tight, wondering how the hell I did this when I was younger.

From there it was a swing and drop to the balcony down and to the left. Then I was low enough to drop to the floor, though I did twist my ankle this time. I hissed in pain but not for long as I hobbled to my car and sped off. I could free my sister later but we had plans and they had to be done.

Richard and Tommy were making sure that Tommy's and my dad were with them, though I figured Richard's would be too. I didn't like that but considering I was with his son now and wanted to make a good impression. Win some lose some.

"Hope, you're late. You're on in ten." Jeff said the second I stumbled through the door. "I know, I know and I'm sorry. My parents had my sister and I locked in our rooms. I just had to do a jail break. Everyone in the changing room started laughing their heads off. "You're kidding?"

"I wish I was and, I am going to be doing the most awkward performance of my life just to prove a point." I rushed through, getting into my clothes to match the other girls. It was a group show this time with spanking and a lot of erotic dancing and pole dancing. I was the lead who, thankfully wouldn't be completely nude at the end but would definitely do a strip tease just to be hidden to change. Myself and the three of the other girls had to go in the audience and I had made sure they knew mine. I had never been this nervous.

"Gentlemen, and gentlemen; please welcome to the stage our main act for this evening. Hope, Crystal, Lexi and Destiny, the sparkle girls." Just for the record, we did not choose that name. The song Dirty by Christina Aguilera started to bang through the speakers and the crowd cheered.

The other girls entered first into the light and I saw the group of lads that I needed to see this at the front of the audience. I entered to the light on my own and my dad's face dropped. Still, he watched mortified as I danced provocatively with the girls and on the poles whist all the other men cheered, even Richard's and Tommy's dads. Richard hated it. The only time he seemed relaxed was when I was straddling him.

I pulled his hair and his head back. "I love you." I whispered in his ear before returning to the stage with the girls. Our cheeky bit of the dance came, Crystal and Destiny tearing my panties and bra from me just for Lexi to prevent anyone from seeing and spanking their asses for being bad. I actually had another pair underneath, just more revealing which was shown just after their spanking.

Our performance ended with me and the girls around the poles and water showering all over us. As the crowd went wild, wolf whistling and all Jeff came out. "Go and get dry girls, then you can join our guests. Gentlemen and, okay a few ladies back there, Hope, Crystal, Lexi and Destiny, the sparkle girls."

"I love doing these shows but I hate being soaked. I always forget to wear waterproof makeup." Lexi groaned, drying herself off with a towel. I laughed. "Well, that's your own fault."
