Chapter Twelve
Yet Another Show
At the moment, Danielle was working on my makeup and Eleanor my hair. We were chatting as we prepared for tonight's show.
"How was work today, Emma?" Danielle asked me, I sighed.
"My tips were a little low." I frowned, leaning back into my chair.
"That's too bad! I'm sure it'll be better next time you go in." El insisted while flashing me a big smile.
"How did both of your days go?" I asked the both of my friends. Their expressions grew grim.
"Some prick in the city was trying to get us to go home with him." Eleanor explained.
"He was sick! We ran away as fast as we could." Dani continued, not even taking focus away from my makeup. They told me a little more about the situation, but unfortunately it wasn't anything new. That kind of thing happens more often than one would think.
Eventually, they were done getting me ready, and I peered at myself through the mirror. Leave it to them to make me look beautiful day after day.
The three of us put on our outfits and waited. We waited to do what we hated most. Waited to be the center of the wrong kind of attention. It was almost our turn.
That creepy man came and retrieved us as usual. Danielle clung tightly to me in hopes that he would leave her alone tonight. It mostly worked, aside from one sleazy comment from him. Dani was strong, so she shook it off quickly.
We did our group hug and usual prayer. Before we knew it we were being pushed out onto the stage of the 21 Club for yet another show.
