CHAPTER 2

All five of us sat down at the table, savoring the meals on it. There was such and awkward silence, not until Roberto's mom spoke up.

"Crystal, sweetie.. Where do you work again?" 

Fuck.. I wish she wouldn't asked that..  And I also wish i could've lied.. But i cannot, because the truth always comes to the surface in this damn family.

"I'm a pole dancer, ma'am.." I say quietly, quite ashamed.

I'm not ashamed of what i do, of course, but i don't like saying that i work as a pole dancer.. It feels wierd.

Right after i answered, Alberto rises his head up from his dish, looking at me quite intriguing, and so his dad.

"Maybe you can make us a show.." Alberto said, but right after, Roberto gave him such a death stare. "Shut the fuck up.." Roberto said, annoyed.

Alberto stared back at him, but then he shrugged and rolled his eyes, "Just saying, brother.. That's her job, right? Satisfying her clients after all.."

"Alberto! Stop being a dick to Crystal! See? This is the only reason you have no lover." his mom quickly intervenes.

He scoffed and crossed his arms, turning his head away. "I'm sorry about his behavior.. He often acts like this.." his mom apologizes. 

"It's alright.. I often get that." I say with a fake smile, sighing after. Roberto wraps one of his arms around my waist and whispers into my ear, "I'll make him apologize to you somehow, sweetie.."

When i hear his words i smile softly at him and nod. He was so gentle with me...

I was in the kitchen, washing my plate in the sink when i hear some heavy footsteps behind. I turn around, hoping it was Roberto, but i see Alberto instead.. Great.. 

I roll my eyes and turn back to my plate, completely ignoring the dumbass behind her.

"Look here, you little slut.. What do you really want from us?" he says, his voice cold as a glacier. "You want money?"

I scoff and shake my head, "No, dickhead. Now please, stop wasting my time, Alberto, you're getting on my nerves." I say as i start to rub the place even harder due to the nerves he is causing. 

Alberto narrowed his eyes.

He picked up Crystal and pinned her against the wall, hard. "Don't you dare to fucking speak to me like that, you bitch.."

Someone's steps could be heard.. They were getting closer.
