THE EXOTIC DANCER CHAPTER 016✔ "Old ways"
Wednesday Morning
Lucy has been doing a good job of getting herself up lately. Which doesnt give me much longer to sleep but i'm thankful for the time i get. It makes me proud and worried at the same time. I'm thankful she is becoming a bit more independent. That's all i could wish for her. Life isn't easy for people who don't know how to take care of themselves and who cant take responsibility.
I also worry though, i want her to be independent but i don't want her to turn out like me and grow up too fast. I know i'm worrying too much and that probably won't happen if i'm sure to watch over her to the best of my ability but i worry things like this may be beyond such abilities. I want her to enjoy her childhood and savor it because once it's over..things change and life becomes a lot harder.
I know being a kid and being an adult both come with their own goods and bads but i want her to be able to enjoy both. If she rushes through being a kid she will regret it when she is an adult.
And I don't want her to be like me i'm not too fond with the way i have turned out. I wish for a lot of things i know it's too late for, things i can't possibly change. I don't want her to grow up like me and then when her life seems set, wish for something else. I want her to be able to be happy with what she has but i know that's unrealistic knowing the way we live. I just hope that she makes it out of the world i couldn't. I'm going to do everything in my power to make sure that happens.
I'm all ready for work which will consist of a training day for all the new trainees, pulling my keys up off the coffee table and into the palm of my hand when the door is pushed open to reveal Megansa flustered face.
"What's wrong?" I ask, making my way towards her.
She just shakes her head with a smile. 'Im being ridiculous right? Being worried? I mean they are my family." She laughs as if finding her own feelings amusing but i can see in her eyes that she is truly scared.
"Not ridiculous at all but you're going to be okay. Your family want you to go back home. You can go back to your perfect life and be happy." i say, my tone coming out in a way i didnt mean for it to.
She looks up at me, smile still on her face but now she seems a bit cautious. "You seem angry."
I shake my head immediately shooting down that idea. "I'm not angry Megan. I would never be upset that things are going to get better for you."
"Ut maybe you're a bit upset that things aren't going better for you." She adds.
I told my head beginning to feel a bit annoyed by her sudden assumptions of me. "Are you insinuating i'm jealous of you?" I question.
