"For the last time. You wear what we tell you and you do what we tell you. If you don't, you will be fired."
Yeah. Okay.
I just want to roll my eyes and walk away; but I really need this job. Apparently dropping out doesn't give you many career options? So I'm stuck stripping for horny jackasses who can't get laid on their own.
Oh whatever.
"Alyssa...Just.... Go home. And when you come back Monday? Come with a better attitude or I will be looking for a new headline dancer. Understood?"
I clenched my fists and replied, "Yes sir. Thank you sir."
Finally I can get out of this hellhole. Why did I decide to do this again? Oh yeah. I need money. But taxes and my shittyass boss who takes most of my tips doesn't leave me with much cash.
And because of the shitty pay? I can't even afford a car. I missed the bus again because of another 'talk' with my boss.
So I guess I'll be walking home.
My heels click on the gravelly pavement as I slowly make my way back to my very shitty apartment. I can't even afford one on the good side of town... So I'm stuck with lots of locks and more locks and lots of looking over my shoulder when I'm outside.
What really sucks is theres no sidewalk. So I'm stuck on the road. And I must be invisible to anyone behind a driver's seat because I swear I've almost gotten ran over five times.
Imagine my surprise when a van moves over to avoid me. I wave gratefully and they stop the car.
Well fuck.
Maybe if I just keep walking they'll leave me alone.
So that's what I'm gonna try to do.
I cross my arms over my chest and put my head down. Walking as quickly as I could, I passed the car without incident.
Almost.
I heard the click of a door being opened and then suddenly there was a hand with a sweet smelling cloth over my mouth and nose.
Before I black out, I open my eyes to see a piercing pair of green ones staring at me.
