BAD [book 1] #WATTYS2016

Chapter 21 ~ for better or worse ?

* 6 weeks later

*Imani P.o.v

I finished putting on my make-up and walked out to where the stage was

the crowd went wild as I touched the pole, and my heart raced with anticipation

I eyed the crowd giving them that energy that needs to be there

Club Fuego was packed as hell,plus it's Saturday night so that's more money.

After my performance I gave a couple of lap dances, and chilled out for a bit.

It was after 2 a.m and my shift just ended

I put on my sweat suit,and clocked out

"See you later franco" I said to the bartender

He such a sweet heart, were very good friends,he married though so don't get no ideas

I hopped on the subway and rode a train to my apartment complex

It was nice and luxurious

I walked in,washed off my make-up,took a shower,put on some fragrences, slipped into my lil booty shirts and t-shirt,threw my hair up in a bun and turned on my music

"When the lights go out and I'm in my bed"

"I think of all the madness in my head"

"Ohhhh"

"When I'm in my bed"

"I think of all the memories I've had"

"Ohh"

"All of the things that I did back then"

I sanged the rest of the whole song

It really described me. If I was to tell people I'm a stripper at this young of an age, they would automatically think of me as negative.

I'm 18,(birthday was a few weeks ago) I can start making decsion's on my own without no one having a second thought.When kent introduced me to stripping, I thought he just wanted to make me his little bitch.he exposed me, apart of my sisters death,but one good thing he did to me was made me realize that I can't be scared of myself.When I climb on that pole.... I just feel free and happy.I always thought of myself as this ugly mistake my mom had with my father.Like I wasn't meant to be here.But when I finally found something that keeps me going... it changed my whole personality

Not my body

These tattoos are not here for decoration,they speak on my name.

Over the past years my life has been a roller coaster,i ain't got no danm family and I'm fine with that.

I was so closed to falling asleep when my phone buzzed

It was Sage

I've been acting so distance away from him because I'm trying not to get attached

I just wanna focus on me,and he has a very hard time understanding that

I also been catching up on my online school classes and is very close to graduating.

I read the text message

"Wassup lil ma, just wanna let you know I got into that new college" he said

"Wow I'm so happy for you :)" I replied

"Ima be playing in college football ..omg I'm too hyped!!!" he texted

He plays football

"I told you,you would get in"I said

"Thanks for supporting" he texted
