Ugly.

All these clothes are ridiculous i need to go in a new store. Yes its true strippers dont spend our days in the strip club and being thots for anybody...well atleast not me i do have a life.

So here i am in the megamall shopping for new clothes for the summer. Quickly walking out of the store and into someone else i went to apologize until i seen who it was.

"As a cop you should know stalking is illegal" i huff picking up my purse off the ground.

"Well i apologize sweetheart i just didnt see you" he smiles. What the hell is he smiling for?

"Maybe if you didnt have those ridiculous shades on while inside you could see" i chastize putting my hands on my hips earning a amused look.

"Ridiculous? They cost 150$ sweetheart and you actually owe me an apology" he smirks cockily.

"If its about the other night then get out of my way no means no, doesnt matter my occupation..and im not your sweetheart stop calling me that" i snapped.

"Actually it was for you bumping into me since you stormed out the store" he admitted pushing his shades up revealing sea green eyes.

"Oh..umm sorry" i winced he sorta was right.

"No hard feelings right?" He smiled holding out his hand but i just staired at it.

"Anyways i came here to shop not lollygag like were friends" i told him heading off to h&m.

"Whats your name by the way?" He asked. What harm could it be in telling him.

"Monét, pronounced like money except with an a inplace of the e so like monay..you get it?" I rambled which was a bad habit i had whenever people asked my name.

"Monét...i like it, you here by your self princess?" He asked and i rolled my eyes turning back to head to h&m.

"Ill take that as a yes" he blurts before i feel his heavy arm on my shoulders making me stop and push him off.

"First things first dont ever do that again second of all stop trying to talk to me i dont know you and dont want to youre pissing me off by being so close and youre actually really fucking nosy, i guess they give anyone a badge they shouldve did a backround check on your stalker ass" i shout feeling my anger boil.

Everyone around us was now stairing and i just wish a black hole would form and swallow me and drop me into my house.

"Stay away from me lucas or whatever your name is" i mutter storming off into h&m.

"Dont you think you over reacted?" Nicole asked as i stirred the noodles.

We always had sunday night dinner at my house and i usually cooked.

"No nicole! He was way to nosy and physical. I just dont like being touched by guys!" I yelled slamming down the fork and she flinched slightly.

"Mo-" she started but i cut her off "stop..look at all this i have nicole. My own house at 22, i OWN a car my whole kitchen is made from imported jamaican textures all my shoes are namebrand. All that cost a price nicole" i states calmly.

"Yeah i mean you see how much money you rack up girl. Thats-" i cut her off.

"My car was bought with hush money..hush money to stay hushed about what happened in that room" my voice cracked.

"I was giving him a lap dance, he was a regular always paid 450 for just a 5 minute lap dance. Then one night it was more..way more 2000. I knew he wanted more but i went in anyways flirted a bit we laughed and then he ripped my clothes off. He tried to drug and rape me but i screamed and thank god the door was cracked or i wouldve never been saved." I admitted holding back tears.

"Im so sorry" nicole said rushing up out her seat making it squeak against the floor to me hugging me. "You cant say anything" i blurted. "Nicolas doesnt want the other girls-"

"Fuck them hoes, Mo you have to leave shits dangerous ill give you whatever money you need to pay for school-" she started.

"No nicole i have to do this for myself i cant rely on nobody" i sigh closing my eyes.

"Look i love you girl you my bestfriend but clearly we cant rely on your cooking tonight"she teased and i noticed the food was burning.

After ordering take out we decided to watch the bring it on movies all night.

"Lucas is a good guy though" she mumbles over orange chicken.

"Thats nice" i shrug i knew it was comming.

"I grew up with him in this town unlike you, ms.new york he probably was curious of you since he knows just about every body" she adds still holding something back.

"He doesnt need to know me" i shrug keeping my eyes glued on the tv.

"Mo you should apologize and be his friend, youve been in this town for 2 and 1/2 years and only talk to me nicolas and the old lady at the cookie shop down the street you cant keep being so shut out from the world" she blurts.

"He shouldnt have touched me" i snap flipping my hair before a pillow hits me in my face.

"Thats for being so..so..ugh" she groaned flopping back making me laugh.

Even though she was goofing off she was right i cant keep being so closed off and hostile...it gets lonely.
