Once Bitten, Twice Destroyed [COMPLETE]

CHAPTER FIVE

Paige

I climbed into a warm bath that I ran for myself earlier. This will give me strength for the day. I relaxed into my bubble bath while taking deep breaths into my lungs.

I'm so tired.

But I can't let my dad down. I'm all he has left and vise versa. But aside from paying for my dad's medical bills I have to pay the mortgage, we need food, electricity, water and clothes on our backs.

Being grown up is hard.

I'm desperate and that's why I accepted the money to pay for my dad's medical bills. I still have to juggle two jobs but I'll look for a new job on Monday. I'll quit at the diner and instead of working doubles I'll work on weekends.

It's not much better but at least I'll be able to go to sleep at night like a normal person and not during the day like a vampire.

I finished my bath and cleaned up after myself before wrapping a towel around my body.

My still untouched body.

I never imagined myself to still be a virgin at the age of twenty. I'd thought that eventually a random guy at a club would have been nice enough for me to allow him to take my innocence.

But I'm not that desperate and I'm kinda proud of my virginity. It makes me somewhat different from a lot of girls. I'm not saying that I'm a saint or that I'm judging other women, maybe I'm just not ready to have sex yet and my body knows it.

But tonight is the night that I'm changing that.

I went back into my room and got dressed into an elegant light purple crop top and an extremely short black leather skirt paired with thigh high boots.

I tied my hair into a ponytail before doing my make-up to perfection. I put my favorite silver necklace around my neck which held my initial on it.

I checked my phone and Kendal had just sent a text that she was already waiting for me outside.

We've made it our mission to go to every single club in the city before the end of the year. Saturday nights are what keeps me going. They make me feel alive and desired.

I dribbled downstairs and placed a kiss on my dad's forehead.

"Bye Kenny!" I yelled at the blonde boy in our living room. He always offers to look after my dad while I'm out on the weekends. He does it for free because it means that he gets to be away from his abusive parents for a few hours.

"Bye Paige!" He yelled back as I exited the house. I jumped into Kendal's car and gave her a side hug.

"Looking good mami." She said and I smiled broadly.

"Thanks you too, miss lady." I complimented her, she was wearing a white strapless crop top paired with some tight fit leather pants and thigh high boots.

Kendal started telling me about an incident that happened between her and a rude customer after I left last night, while driving to our destination.

I zoned out of our conversation and started thinking about the twins I'd met last night. Something inside me desperately wants to see them again.

But I don't think I'll see them again. We live in a big city and shit like that only happens in books and movies.

"Paige!" Kendal called and I snapped out of my thoughts. "We're here." She said so I climbed out of the car.

"I'm just gonna ignore the episode you just had. Let's party!" Kendal yelled before linking our arms as we went into the club.

It's strange how they never ask for my ID. I'm not of legal age yet but I don't think it's that noticeable.
