Belle's POV

My life is so fucked up...

Does anyone know that?

I forgot to pay our monthly rent in the apartment for the 26th time. Can someone believe that? I keep on doing it over and over but thank goodness, I can fool the landlady so I don't have any problem with that. My roommate and I are working in the same job. I was the one in charge of paying the rent of this apartment while she is the one doing the others. Meaning, she is the one who is paying the bills and even for our foods.

My roommate is Catalina Diaz, she is Mexican, and we are working in a gentlemen's club. It is not a dirty club if you are wondering. We just had a few drinks with the customers, chat with them, entertain them and then can go. No having sex. It's a clean job. But some customers tried to pay us for a night and we should not be allowed for those kinds of jobs but that will be our choice.

I'm a virgin, if you are thinking. I never had a boyfriend actually. It never comes into my mind because I all I did was how to live on my own. Life is difficult so I really need to work hard. No fun and laughter in my world.

Actually, my life already started as a mess. I have never felt any happiness since I was a kid. So I decided to ran away.

The reason why I ran away from home is because my Mom is very abusive. I don't have any siblings and no Father so it was only me and my Mom from the very start. She was destroyed when my Dad died in a car accident when I was young and ever since that, Mom never tries to save herself. She goes home with different men every night, always come home drunk and then she will abuse me. I don't know why but she just lost her mind.

I hated life since. I don't even know where my life is heading. What my future is. Well, sure it will be like this forever. Boring and sad. Always have and always will. I don't believe in happiness and love. They are for losers and they are only made up things to fool people.

But life must go on. I don't people to pity me because I'm sick of it. This is where I am and I need to face it. So God help me.

I know my life is ruined. Sometimes I think if there is still a chance that my life will get better. But what can I achieve with a job like this, right? Can I buy a house with just the salary I got? Tsk, it would be a miracle if I marry a rich man with this look, or meet a fairy godmother that will grant my wishes. But real life is not a fairytale. They are just made up for children. So blame those princesses who just wakes up and everything is fine.

Jeez, I seriously needed help.

But right now, I have to wake up to reality.

"Wakey, wakey Belle!" Catalina started to hit me with the pillow on my head!

Damn it, I hate it so much when someone is interrupting my sleep. But I just groan as I bury my head on my pillow even deeper, trying hard to cover my ears. I wanna sleep more. "Go away!"

"Little girl, Ms. Dane will get mad at you if you don't get there in time. It's 5:45pm already." she told me laughing.

Then my eyes snapped when I heard the time. Shit, I am so gonna be late! I'll be in a serious trouble. "You bitch, why didn't you wake me up!" I jumped out of the bed and ran into the bathroom as quickly as I can.

"I kept on waking you up, honey" she chuckled behind me. Shit, it will take us 30 minutes to arrive at the Blue Pirate Club and our shift starts at 6:30. That is where we are working at. And we need to look fresh and neat when we get there so that means, I need a lot of make up to do in order for me to look older than my age.

Catalina is 26 and I am just 20 and mostly men are looking for woman above 25 or even older. But I often introduce myself as a 25 year old woman and they quickly believe it. Thanks to my cheap makeup.

So after showering, I dig into my cabinet and search for something nice to wear. I found my leopard print dress at the bottom so I bring out and time for me to wear it. God, it got tighter. Don't freaking tell me I gain a freaking weight?! I don't even eat!

Catalina helped me in the makeup part because she is excellent in this while me...not so much. She put some pink lipstick on me, brown shade on my eyes and black mascara. I just curled my hair a little and I am good to go.

I grab my bag, put some 20 dollars in it and Catalina and I started our journey...a journey we will be doing for the rest of our lives...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Later at the club, Catalina and I came 5 minutes late and we arrived with so many customers waiting to be entertained and drinking alone. I can feel that my hands are gonna taste some money tonight. Lucky Belle.

"We are going to have so many money tonight, love" Catalina whispered to me and I smiled back.

Then at the corner of my eyes, I can see Ms. Dane shouting at some staff at the back. Uh-oh, Catalina and I quickly went to the back where the other entertainers are and they are just retouching their make ups and I pretended doing something in my locker when Ms. Dane arrive.

"You two are late again" she told us with a glare, a cigarette between her dark lips.

"No, Ms. Dane. We arrive 5 minutes before. You didn't just saw us" I smiled sheepily making the other girls smile and laugh at my excuse. Something that I am expert. Lying. They already know our ways but Ms. Dane always believes me. Making me want to think that I have a talent in fooling people. Such an old stupid cougar. Poor her.

"Very well then. I dont have time for your none sense excuses tonight" she slammed her long fingers on the small table "You have a special customer waiting at table 15. At the VIP section. He requested you and only you and he gave us 1000$ just for this night so don't mess this up, Belle" she told me with a serious look then left the room.

That woman is nice but when it comes to work, she is very strict.

I finally calmed my nerves. "Phew, that was close" Catalina breathe out, wiping some sweat from her forehead and sat down on the couch.

"You two fooled her again" Ashley smiled giving me a high five "Good job"

"Well you know, Belle...she is the number one trouble maker in the whole town" Jessy said and winked at me which I winked back, applying a red lipstick.

Sometimes, we girls flirt around with each other but that does not mean we are lesbians or something. Just girls fooling around with each other. I am not a lesbian and so are they. Girls can release their class sometimes too. But we are just playing around. I'm straight.

C'mon, the Kardasians do that.

I am sure that Ms. Dane is going to fire me once she founds out that I am arriving late but not all the time. 6 out of 10, I arrived late. At least 4 percent is remaining! But compare to the other girls here, I have the longest shift because many men are paying for me and we really need some bills to pay for the apartment we are staying at.

But strange, who could be this new customer that I had that paid too much. I'm a little surprised yet I'm happy. More money ahead!

I fixed myself in front of the mirror, put some padding more at my boobs. They look so flat in this outfit. When I am ready, I waved to the girls and saw that Catalina is entertaining her first customer.

Making my towards the VIP room, a saw two men on the table drinking then my heart starts to beat rapidly. Why do I feel nervous? Because they don't look nice? Because they might stab me in the heart and leave me here bleeding to death? You're being so dramatic, Belle. Why would they kill me? It's not like they are going to sell me into an auction or something.

But when I walked closer to them, one raised his head...wait...why are they wearing a black mask? I was about to run back but before I knew it, a hand cups my mouth shut and in just a few seconds, there are darkness and my whole body feels numb. Holy shit. I am gonna die. Lord, sorry for my sins.

"She is the one." a voice spoke before I really go unconscious. "Take her in the van"
