I opened my eyes as the bed was bumped harshly. I blinked slowly and saw Jessica getting dressed. I reached for the night stand and grabbed my phone seeing I had 3 messages. Misty, Dianna, and Chelsea.
Misty:
I am so sorry can you please come back home. I kicked your father out. Please. Momma still loves you.
Me:
Sure Mom I'll come home for a little this afternoon but then I'm leaving since I am going out. 
Misty:
Thank you. I love you so much. xoxo
I ignored her last message and went on to Dianna.
Dianna:
Hey just letting you know that Mr. Burks took me home. I'll see you later have fun at school loser <3
Me:
Alright. <3
I ignored Chelsea for later and looked at Jessica. Jessica is the size I wish I was. She is skinny but she does have a stomach bulge. She is around 5"9 and she has pretty long hair. She is a Caucasian woman just like Misty but she didn't have the wrinkles that my mom has. She is at most a B-Cup. She is a very attractive young woman and I bet Jason is happy to have her. I noticed that she stopped getting dressed and stared at me. She smiled and said,"Get up and start getting ready. I have to take you to the office and then to school." The office? I nodded and went to take a short shower.
**At The Office**
Jessica had tied her hair into a messy bun. She seems worn out to be honest. She dragged me into the elevator and pressed the button with a 15 on it. As the elevator started moving I slumped down to the floor.
She stared at me and asked,"What is the matter sweetheart?"
I mumbled out,"I don't like elevators." She nodded and helped me up pulling me into a hug. The elevator stopped on floor 11 and someone boarded. I looked at the man as the elevator closed. He looked familiar.
He cleared his throat looking at the door,"My name is Markus. You must be Ms. Burks and Shannon." Jessica asked,"Do you know Shannon personally?"
The man nodded and the elevator opened on the 14th floor. A look alike of Markus stepped in. He completely ignored our presence and began talking to Markus. The guy asked,"Are you ready for this meeting?" Markus looked at me and said,"Yes I am actually." The guy noticed Markus' gaze and followed it. A smile snuck onto the guys face as he spoke,"Nice to see you again Shannon."

Daddy please I promise I've been a good girl. I'm going to tell my mom on you.

I shook my head as those words popped into my head. Markus smiled and said,"This is my brother Marquis. My other brother has other things to do." I looked at the man and so did Jessica. Images of a carnival began to pop in my head. I'm holding someone's hand. I shook my head and the elevator dinged. Everyone exited the elevator and we headed on to the office.

As we stepped into the office I felt one of the guy's hand slightly touch mine and I quickly jerked it forward. I saw Mr. Burks sitting at his desk while a female sat at the edge of it. I furrowed my eyebrows as I looked at her. She wore a dark red thigh length Dress with matching heels. Her long blonde hair hung just below her bust. She is at least a B-Cup no more than a C. Her dark red lipstick went perfectly with her tan body. Her eyeliner perfect. I suddenly felt self-cautious. Jessica cleared her throat and they both snapped their attention to us. The scowl on her face showed that she didn't want us here. Her eyes landed on me and she looked confused. She spoke with an angelic voice,"There are no kids allowed on this hall." I sighed and turned to walk out. 

Marquis grabbed my arm and looked me in the eyes. He spoke,"Are you going to let her speak to you like that?" I shrugged and muttered,"I have school anyway." He sighed and said,"Ma'am she is probably here for an important reason."
I pulled my arm away and said,"No it is fine." He ran his hand through my hair and I whimpered a little.

'Do you want me to do your hair princess'

I shook my head as those words ached in my brain. He spoke,"If you are stressing about her being pretty don't worry about that. She may be pretty or beautiful but you are gorgeous. Gorgeous means a whole lot more."

Gorgeous means that you are beautiful inside and out.

Where have I heard that? I blushed and shook my head. My phone began to ring and I answered it. Mr. Burks' voice startled me as he said,"Speaker please.." I did as told and I heard my God-Brother; Sean, speak.

"Hey I heard that your friend beat up your dad."
I sighed and spoke,"Is that why you called me?"
Sean laughed and said,"No actually I called to offer you a job."
I shook my head and asked,"What kind of job?"
There was a long pause before he spoke,"I'm having a party. I need three entertainers. I need one in the game room where most of the guys will be held. I need one in the living room for karaoke. Then I need one in the family room for girls."
I asked,"Why did you call me?"
He spoke,"Look I will need you in the game room. You have a killer body. My friends already want you. I'll pay you 50 dollars an hour."
I shook my head and said,"I'm not going to be a stripper."
He exhaled lightly,"Babe come on. You did it last time and all I paid you was 100 dollars for the whole night."
I ran my fingers through my hair,"Can't you get Charlotte to do it."
He scoffed,"I don't want to see my sister getting naked."
I bit my lip,"I'm your sister too."
He laughed,"Only by law babe. You need the money anyway right? Plus you'll have access to the bar."
I looked at the floor and sighed.
He spoke quickly,"It'll give me the chance to show you that everyone thinks that your beautiful. That's what you want right. For people to call you beautiful and love you. Just do the job and I'll prove it to you that people think you are pretty." My heart began to thump hard against my chest.
I spoke,"And if I say no?"
He chuckled and said,"I'll tell my mom that you were the one that stole all her strong alcohol and that we slept together."
I asked,"I slept with you? I usually don't sleep with people when I am drunk. I mean if you are that small then I probably won't remember-"
He cut me off and snapped,"No we didn't sleep together and I-I am not small. I'm average."
I asked,"What time is the party? I'll be there."
He excitedly said,"7. I'll see you. Wear anything since you can look good in everything."
The call ended and I shook my head. I looked up at Jessica and she looked shocked. I shyly said,"I'm going to be late for school."
Mr. Burks looked at me with confusion written all over his face. He asked,"Are you really going to do that?"
I shrugged and spoke,"Mr. Burks, A job is a job. I can do any job no matter how dirty it is." He sighed and he stood up. He walked to me and said," Sweetheart I'm going to need the address to that house and I'll meet you there. Do I make myself clear? I'll talk to his mother. Money will no longer be an issue for you." I nodded and said,"Yes sir." He held out a blue card and said,"This is your credit card. Right now it only has $5,000 on it." He pulled a snicker bar out of his pocket and handed it to me.
I nodded and he kissed my forehead.
Jessica asked,"Are you ready for school?"
I nodded and looked at the two guys. Gosh they looked familiar. Markus smiled and said,"Have a nice day at school. Combattant." He smirked at the end as my heart hit my chest with a huge thud leaving me winded.
I can't breath but I need to ask. I grabbed my chest feeling it tighten.

I opened my mouth and stuttered,"W-W-What did you call me?"

He spoke slowly,"Com-batt-ant"
I looked at him and asked,"How did?"
He shook his head and said,"It's your nickname. I gave it to you." I looked at his brother Marquis. He gave me a sad smile and hit his brother over the head. Marquis spoke,"Stop it Mark. You are scaring her."
Markus began to grin,"She must remember. We had wonderful nicknames for her."
Misteriosa belleza
Combattant
Beauté de ma vie
Lumière de ma vie
I spoke with my breath shaky,"Can you please try to call me Mis-"
Marquis smiled a bit bigger as he cut me off,"Misteriosa belleza." I shook my head and gulped. I am getting a headache. Why am I getting a head ache.
'Misteriosa belleza come here please. What kind of ice cream do you want.'

'Combattant why do you live up to your name?'

I shook my head and said,"I-I have to go. I have a headache."
The two waved as I dashed out the office.
'Misteriosa belleza Kiss me.'
'Combattant Come here please'
'Beauté de ma vie Please don't run. It isn't nice'
'Lumière de ma vie Why don't you just be a big girl for once.'

I pushed the elevator button as Jessica ran and caught up with me. She asked,"Do you know them?"
I couldn't help but let the tears roll down my face,"I don't know. I honestly don't know. They look so familiar. I don't even know when I started the bloody school I go to."
She led me into the elevator and comforted me.
