This song is my life right now!! It's Mermaid by Train.

'Beauty in the water, and angel on the beach.' I blasted 'Mermaid' by Train through my earphones, slipping on something appropriate for working the night away at the local strip club.
I choose a red tank top, black leather jeans, leather jacket, and combat boots.

I bang on the girl's doors and realize they're downstairs with the creep. A forgive appears at my side, and I jump out of my skin. "What are you doing? Why didn't you tell us you were a ghost?"

"I didn't want to scare you off after all I've done for you and your friends." Gerard sighs, and kisses me on the cheek.

"I would've accepted you. So, plan on sticking around?"

"I can try. Got a lot on my plate, but I can squeeze one more thing in."

"Come on, better get downstairs before they leave without us." I laugh and quickly jump down each stair. The other two girls eye me, and so does the old man. Selena's wearing a skin-tight, black, skinny dress, and heels. Elizabeth is decked out in a white lace crop top, skin-tight jeans, and flats.

Uncle Albert, the guy who's a supposed racist, drives us to the strip club. The bouncer is blind to the supernatural, so we sneak right in.
A guy with cropped black hair catches my eye and winks at me, as we enter the club.

"You ladies will start at the bar serving drinks." Al pushes all three of us towards the back of the counter, and we soon get the hang of it.

"Hey, pretty lady. Can I buy you a drink?" I turn around to see the guy with cropped black hair.

"No thanks. I don't drink."

"Come on, Katy. Just one drink." He slurs his words a little, but I recognize the French accent immediately.

"Tristan?" He nods. "How'd you find me?"

"Albert is my uncle. He told me about a few girls staying with him that had the school's tattoo."

"I thought he looked familiar. So, you here to take us back to that prison of yours?"

"Nope, just here for a beer. We have a secret room in here for the supernatural. Would you like to see?"

"I want to find my friends first."
