Maria Kelly didn't have it easy, her uprising wasn't graceful. Grew up on the wrong side of the tracks, filled with the wrong people and bad situations. Her mother didn't even know who her father was.
She grew up nev...
"Mom, I'm going out." I called correcting the black shoulder length wig. I looked in the mirror at my outfit for the night. I was wearing a black tight booty skirt with fire flames and fishnet stockings. My shirt was a crop top with a skull in the middle and I had on faux suede black thigh high heel boots and smoky eye makeup.

I walked into my mothers room to find her fully clothed beside a line of Coke on the desk. Typical. I grabbed a glass of water and threw her in bed and left. I couldn't keep doing this with her.
I walked the few blocks to the pub, it wasn't really a pub as much of a bar with strippers and Karaoke. It was low maintenance, rundown and beaten up but I got paid so I didn't really care what it looked like. Anna met me at the front like we do every night when we work - which was most nights. She was wearing a skin tight white crop top that was held together with a few thin strings on her back and the same skirt as me, minus the fire flames.
"Hey bestie." She came up and hugged me. "Hey babe." I hugged her back. "So you went with the black wing today?" She said touching the false hair. "Yeah, went better with the outfit." I gestured. "I see you went with the bleach white one today." "I did. Matches the outfit." She teased.
We walked in and went to the back room. "Ladies tonight you are working the poles." The owner said. "But I know you two just turned seventeen so you don't have to strip, just dance and make me money." "Will do." We laughed at him and walked out. "You take the left, I'll take the right."
We jammed out and worked the poles like we do most nights, swaying and grinding. At our break I went into the back room and checked my phone. Missed call from our neighbor. I called her back.
"Hello?" The elderly woman answered the phone after the fourth ring. "Hey Mrs. Benson. I'm sorry I missed your call. I was working." "Oh dear. Well I heard some sounds in your house when I was walking so I went over and your mother was on drugs." "I'm not surprised." I answered dryly. "Well she wasn't well darling so I called the ambulance, they took her to the hospital. Just thought I would let you know." "Thank you Mrs. Benson. I will head there now." "Okay honey. Take care." "You as well."
Anna came in. "Hey what was that about." "My mother over dosed again. She was high when I left, passed out cold. Figures she'd get up to finish her fix." I rolled my eyes. "Do I need to cover for why Violet had to leave?" She asked. We both had our own stage names. I was Violet, Anna was Gypsy. "Gypsy doesn't have to cover for me. I'll stay till the end of shift I guess. I mean, they'll just fill her up with fluids and send her on her way."
