Chapter 2

Kelly

*

Today was my dad's funeral. I still couldn't believe that my father was no longer here with me. I loved him so much because he was the only one that I had. I was so angry and upset with the cancer that took him away from me. I was also upset with him for leaving me all by myself in this dark and cruel world. He always told me that he'd never leave me. When he was alive, he always protected me. Now that he was gone, I had to protect myself. I never met my mother and I don't care to, either. She walked out on me and my father when I was seven months old. My dad told me that she said she never wanted to have any kids. My dad was the best father that anyone could ever have. 

"Kelly, are you ready to go?" Aunt Macy asked. 

She was my dad's younger sister.

I took one final look at my dad's grave and put down a rose at his graveside. "Goodbye, Dad. I miss you more than I can say. I love you." I could feel the tears running down my cheeks.

"Yes, Aunty Macy. I'm ready to leave." She hugged me around my shoulders.

"I'm so sorry, honey. I miss him too." Aunt Macy said as she patted her eyes with the paper towel.

I started sobbing as we walked away from my father's graveside. I stopped walking and said out loud, hoping that he would hear me wherever he was now. "I'll never forget you, dad."

"Come on, Kelly. Let's go home." My aunt said as she held my hands.

"I wish that he didn't have to die." I blurted out.

"I know. I wish that he was still here with us." Aunt Macy said as she opened the car door for me. I went in and folded my hands in my lap.

She closed the door for me and got in.

"Kelly, honey, are you sure that you don't want to stay with me and Loren tonight?" She asked, looking at me. 

Loren was my aunt's daughter but we weren't close. 

"I'm sure, Aunt Macy, I'll be fine." I tried to convince her while looking at the picture of me and my father which was the screensaver on my phone. 

I wanted to be alone until it was time for me to go to work. I've been searching for a job ever since my father got sick but I couldn't find one. The only one that I found was at a strip club. I've never been a stripper before but I was trained by the manager there and a few of the other girls. I couldn't say anything about it to my aunt because she wouldn't like it. I could ask her for help but I didn't want to pressure her because she was already sending Loren to college and she was a single mother. I was in my senior year at college. I couldn't wait to graduate and start working as a nutritionist. It was so sad that my father wouldn't be around to see me.

"Girl, you're looking good. The men out there are going to love you." Tory said as she assisted me while I slipped into the fishnet that I was putting on. She was one of the strippers that worked here. She was a short caucasian girl with short black hair, hazel eyes, and an hourglass shape. She was one of the few girls who were nice to me. The others were always looking at me with scornful looks on their faces. 

I didn't have an hourglass shape. I was skinny and I had small breasts that could hardly fit into a B-cup-size bra. I was still a virgin at the age of nineteen. I'll be turning twenty on November 30th of this year. I was a Sagittarius girl.

I've never fallen in love and I only went out on a date once. I was a bookworm who didn't have many friends. I always liked older men but they never looked my way. I guess they thought that I was still a child or maybe, I wasn't their cup of tea.
