Chapter 20

Cadence's P.O.V
"So you guys," I say, pointing my finger at them. "Are going all the way back home, to get money that you might not even get?"
They all nod their heads, making me want to laugh.
"Well, this has been good, but I'm going to go." I say, scooping up my purse and walking my way towards the door.
"That's the problem." Axel says after clearing his throat. I stop in my tracks and turn to him, raising my eyebrow.
"I'm not doing anything to help you guys."
Axel steps in front of me and puts his hands on my shoulders. "Please, Cadence, we really need your help."
I frown. "Why should I help you?"
"Because we might die or something. Drug dealers are serious people. They aren't going to let this slide. And they know a lot of stuff. They know about... us."
My mouth drops. "So I'm being dragged into this? They are coming after me too?!"
Axel sheepishly nods his head. "I'm sorry. But you have to help us."
"I don't have to do anything." I state. "But, I will help you guys, because this was my fault and I need to take responsibility.
Tyler laughs. "Oh please. We aren't fooled. You just wanted to make yourself look good."
Axel glares at Tyler, shutting him up.
"So what am I doing?" I ask, mostly because I'm scared that they are going to make me a prostitute and then make his dad pay me, since I... ya know.
"Ok, don't freak out." Those were the first words that came out of Axels mouth. I instantly started to freak out.
"What?" I ask, slightly scared for my life. "Oh my god. What are you guys doing?"
"He said don't freak out!" Cameron says, with a slight smirk on his face.
I glare at him. "That's a terrible way to stop someone from freaking out."
"We need you to be in an auction."
-
"I'm dressing up, doing my makeup, getting sold, and spending the night with some stranger, So that you guys can pay off your weed that you supposedly didn't order?""Not the whole night." Axel points ouy.
"How is this going to work anyway?"
"I'm going to register you in, then convince my dad to buy you for me, and then we will get the money that he payed."
"I still don't understand why you don't just ask him."
"That's not exactly what we do."
"Like father, like son." I mumble.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Axel asks, looking slightly offended.
"Nothing." I say, suprised that he heard me.
"Tell me."
I sigh. "I was just thinking if you were to ever have kids or something."
Axel frowns, then a smirk spreads across his face. "Were you thinking about having kids?"
"What? No! I mean, yes, I want kids, but. No, just no."
Axel laughs. "Gee you didn't have to make it so awkward."
I glare at him. "Do you want kids then?"
He shrugs. "Maybe one day."
I sit down on the bench in front of the vanity. "Okay. How should I do this?"
-
"I feel like a slut."
"That's what we are going for." Tyler juts in.
Axel told me how to do my make up, and since he doesn't know how to do make-up, I just made myself look as slutty as possible. Or as Axel likes to say 'slutify'.
I'm wearing a black dress that is basically like a tank top that is streched out. No matter how many times Axel told me I couldn't wear spandex, I still put them under this skimpy dress.
"Ready?"
No. Not at all. I'm just about to be sold like a fucking sex slave. Of course I'm not ready.
I give him a weak smile. "Sure."
Axel glares at Tyler and Cameron, giving them the hint to leave us alone. They understand and walk out, fighting over who is going to sit in the passenger seat.
After they leave Axel stares me down. "You seem nervous."
I scoff. "Yes. I'm very nervous. Who knows what could happen out there?! I could be sold to someone different or get kidnapped. The other girls are probably actually sex sla-"
Axel cuts me off with his lips on mine. I'm startled at first, but I kiss him back.
Axel pulls away a little earlier than I would have liked. He grabs my shoulders and holds them firmly.
"I promise that you will be fine." He says, not taking his eyes off me.
I sigh. "You better buy me. Because if someone else does I swear to god almighty that I will do damage. To your.... ya know..." I say, gesturing to his down low.
He laughs, and grabs my hand leading me out the door. "Okay. Deal."
He sounded pretty sure, so I took that as a good sign.
"Road trip!" Tyler shouted from the back. Apparently Cameron got the passenger seat.
I laughed and hopped in, next to Tyler. "Let's go!"
-
I. Cannot. Do this.All I have on is a short black dress, slutty looking make up, and somehow, I'm supposed to get up on that stage like an animal?
No, no, no. Not for me.
That is until I realized this is a life or death situation. So after the girl in front of me goes, I am making my way to the middle of the stage where everybody is standing.
I swear to god if Axel doesn't get me...
I take a deep breath as I stand still in front of at least 200 people. There is shouting going on at how much I am racking up.
"250! 300! 350! 400!" The auctioneer calls out.
I really hope that is going to be enough money to pay off these stupid drug dealers. Axel is a complete idiot.
"Sold! To the man in the black shirt!"
I look up and see a dude. That is not Axel. Oh. My. God.
