Chapter 1
21st October 2019
Ryder's P.O.V
"Come on man we need to leave we can't stay inside on our first night in New York City!" Jake shouted. "Jake is right man you really need to get over her she left 4 years ago." "Her name is Marley! And why should I go out it's not like I have anything to be happy about" I shouted. Jake and Sam frowned. I know they were trying to make me happy again. I know it's what Marley would've wanted.
I just decided to let it go and agree to go out with them. "I'm sorry guys, So where are we heading!?" I faked a smile. "A STRIP CLUB!" Sam said excited. Great… I thought to myself
Marley's P.O.V
"Shh stop crying its okay sweetheart it was just a bad dream, listen your mommy has gotta go to work I'll be back by morning okay" I smiled down at my 3 year old son.
Cameron eventually calmed down and I picked him up, pressing a kiss to his cheek before putting him in his bed. "I'll be back later baby, I promise." He gave a small nod and I looked into his beautiful blue eyes before I kissed him on the forehead and exited the small flat. I ran down the road frustrated and anxious of what would happen because I was already 20 minutes late for work.
10 minutes later...
I finally arrived at work and ran straight backstage to get ready. This shift better be quick.
Ryder's P.O.V
After 20 minutes of trying to convince me to go to the strip club, I reluctantly agreed. We finally were on our way we walked out of our apartment and it took about 30 minutes to hail a cab. After a few drinks in the club I started to feel myself loosening up a bit and even accepted a private lap dance, I didn't see her face as her long beautiful brunette hair was covering it. She reminded me of someone although I couldn't put my finger on it as I had one too many drinks. I heard sniffling as she continued to grind on me. I was about to ask her if she was okay but then she got up and ran away.
Marley's P.O.V
After changing I went over to the bar and asked the barmaid and my best friend Kitty for a drink. She gave me a vodka and a smile, I returned the smile before downing the vodka.
She knew how tough this was for me as she had been there herself only two years ago luckily after she had paid her debts to our boss Trevor (who was luckily not working tonight as otherwise I would owe him big time for being late). Kitty was a drug addict and found it difficult to pay for her two kids and her habit at the same time. Unfortunately social services got involved and took her children away. That is when she decided to get her life back on track but ended up in this dump having to earn her money by selling herself.
I went over to the man who I had to give a lap dance, not wanting to look at him as all the men that came in here made my skin crawl. After 5 minutes I started to get teary eyed thinking about my baby boy all alone at home. I ran backstage and Kitty must've seen me as she came in after me. "I can't stop thinking about Cameron, Kitty. He's all alone at home whilst I'm here and for what? I don't know if I'll ever get out of here. Things never go the way the way you want to do they? When all I want is a clean apartment to raise my son in and for him to go to school and make friends. But that's too much isn't it? There are probably homeless people in better facilities than I am. Cameron deserves a mom that can look after him and can comfort him in the night a-a-an-and a mother who can be there no matter what! LOOK AT ME I'M AN EMBARRASSMENT AND A USELESS MOTHER ASWELL!" I sobbed, shaking uncontrollably, Kitty wrapped her arms around me "You are an amazing mother don't you EVER forget that Marley! Remember everything you are doing for him, all so that he can have a better upbringing than you did! Now lets get you cleaned up you haven't finished your shift yet." I nodded she always knew what was best for me, she is the only true friend I have here, I used to have Ryder but I messed that up when I ran away. I got up and redone my make up and hair.
After going back to the strip area I noticed the man I had been grinding on was by himself, I took this as the opportunity to get my money so I crept up behind him and asked him if he wanted to go somewhere more private.
Ryder's P.O.V
I didn't understand what had gone on so i just order some drink and kept on downing maybe it wasn't such a bad idea coming here after a while I got dizzy so I decided to go sit back down. 10 minutes later the woman who was giving me a lap dance came behind me and offered to go somewhere more private, slurring my words I said yes.
She took me outside to the smoking area and everyone cleared the area as if they knew what was going to happen, I turned her round and looked her in the eyes. We both gasped. It was her I couldn't believe it she was here. "Marley?" I questioned in disbelief. "I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD, WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN"? I stopped shouting as she winced at the tone of my voice. I stepped back, all these questions in my mind "Why are you working here? Marley?..."
Marley's P.O.V
My eyes widened as soon as I recognised him what was he doing here? What should I do? "Please not here we can talk somewhere more private I can't risk my boss seeing us" I cried out.
Ryder's P.O.V
Seeing Marley so upset and anxious, I nodded slowly. "I want no, I need answers and I need them now so let's go talk at your house."
Marley's P.O.V
"NO!" I shouted "I mean, m-my house is a mess an-and I lost my key so there is no way in. We can go get coffee okay?" I said in a shaky voice.
Ryder's P.O.V
I became wary after she shouted at me to not go to hers "Fine. let's go then." This was gonna be a long night.
Please leave reviews, I want to know peoples opinion on this story:)
