I left Em's place early that morning because I just wanted to get back home. The questions they kept asking me were so personal, like about where I had been, what had gone on between me and Leah, like it's none of there business what I've been doing we literally work together and that's it. They also kept asking about my sex life. Again, none of their business. And unfortunately I had to be around them both again all evening.

This afternoon I made plans to go see my mom who I haven't seen for months. I missed my mom, lots. I had so much to catch up on with her.

I knocked on her door and she had finally opened it after at least ten knocks.
"Tina! Gosh where have you been! Come in" She smiled at my presence hugging me and I went inside closing the door behind me.
"How have you been mom" I asked her
"I've been perfect. But you. Ghosting me for months! Tina" She shook her head at me. What am I supposed to tell her. I would normally tell my mom everything, but about Taehyung... Shall I?

"Well. Where have you been?" She asked sitting on the couch
"I've been working hard mom" I say
"Hard enough to ghost me? Not even a call" She said looking at me. Why is everyone being so pushy. I know I ghosted my mom, but I had no other choice.

"I think your lying" She said
"What. Of course not!" I lied. Shit.
"Tina. I'm not silly" She said "just tell me. We're you in trouble?" She said
"WHAT NO!" I say up and she looked surprised "I was just at places" I add
"What places Tina!" She yelled
"I was in love mom!" I blurted out and she looked shocked, I'm sure she expected worse.
"You were what?" She whispered
"There's this guy that I met. I was with him for awhile for reasons and I ended up falling in love with him!"  I said quickly panicked, I couldn't lie to my mom anymore about it. It's not even deep to lie about, but it's kinda embarrassing.

"Was he in love with you?" She smiled
"No... he wasn't. I had to leave him" I said. I explained most things with Taehyung to my mom but I didn't mention the deal between us because she would hate it, she already hates my job as a prostitute.

After a stressful afternoon with my mom, I went back home to get ready to go back out and work again. The club was so draining now. Before Taehyung, I felt like it was fun to go to work but now, it feels like an effort. I cant even be bothered to work but I have to.

I parked my car locking it outside of the club and making my way inside getting ready for the same routine.
"Tina! Thank god! The club is supposed to be packed with people tonight" Brittany came over panicked
"Isn't that a good thing?" I laughed
"NO! Well yes because money. But still it's meant to be jammed in" She said
"How do you know?" I asked
"People have been tweeting" She shrugged. God that's not nerve racking at all. Now I have to work extra hard, which means extra effort, which also means longer time here.
