I still can’t seem to meet my eyes in the mirror. “Are you okay? You seem pretty quiet today.”

I smile at Candy in the mirror. “I’m fine.” Linda is behind me and catches my eye.

“Okay everyone onto the floor.” She claps her hands and everyone grabs last minute items before leaving, but I don’t. Once the room is empty, I turn to Linda. She hasn’t left either so she’s expecting this.

“Taking control didn’t work. I said no and it made no difference.”

Linda smirks at me and my blood boils.

“What’s so funny?” My anger burns my chest and I clench my fists.

“You don’t say no to him.” Her smirk is gone now.

“But you said to take control.” My cheeks burn. I should have never listened to her.

“Yes, Cara, take control, but you’re still in a box. You just have a choice of what you do while you’re there. Do you understand?” She says stepping closer to me.

“No, I don’t,” I answer honestly.

“When I say take control I don’t mean to say no, it’s not an option. I mean you control the situation that is already transpiring.”

“You think I should instigate it?”

“Whatever it takes to survive.” Linda replies and something in her eyes has deepened.

“Did he do this to you too?” I hate the twist of jealousy that tightens in my stomach. Linda is gorgeous and I am no match for her.

“No. Now get out on the floor.” She doesn’t wait, but leaves the changing room, and I do as I’m told and go out onto the floor. Candy winks at me and I manage to give her a real smile back.

Can I instigate sex with him? Excitement burns my body as I spin around the pole. Doubts cloud my mind, Linda could be telling me what he wants her to tell me. I have no idea if she is playing me. Maybe at night they lay in bed together and laugh at naïve, messed up Cara. I swing faster trying to get away from my thoughts. I watch the floor. Wendy has her back to me as she raises a glass to her lips. The liquid is clear as she places the glass on the table beside her, but when she looks at me, I can see the alcohol in her eyes. Her nose flares as she stares at me before picking up the glass and draining it. Placing it on the table, she walks around the room, her eyes shooting to me to see if I’m still watching her. This place can do that to a girl. I understand how it can break you—or make you break yourself. Drink, drugs or to actually enjoy the sex, it’s better than fighting it all. Fighting it isn’t going to save any of us. I think in a place like this, we are all doomed to becoming so stretched and worn out, that we just dissolve like a tablet in water.

With my morbid thoughts, I dance until Linda comes for me to take me back to my room.
