My name is Amelia i'm 10 and I live with my stupid mom. She's an alcoholic, druggy, and very abusive. Mom says she doesn't want to deal with the "burden" of me anymore and she is dropping me off with my uncle at his work. I walked behind her and tried to stay out of her way as we walked to Burlesque the club Jack works at. He doesn't know I'm coming. We walk in and a guy tells us it's $20 to get in. Mom looks at him like he's crazy. She rolls her eyes and just pays the man enough for me to get in. She tells me to find Jack and to never bother her again. I nod hoping she won't slap me. "I didn't hear you bitch," she says as she slaps me.

"Yes mam," I said and she pushes me away into the club. I look around and see so many different things. I just wanted to go home. I looked around and saws Uncle Jack at the counter mixing a drink. "Jack," I yelled and ran over to the counter. Jack looks over at me with shock written all over his face.

"Baby girl! What are you doing here?" Jack asked me as he ran around the counter to get me. He picked me up and hugged me close. Then a lady came over she had short blonde hair and was wearing a very showing clothes. I gasped and put a hand over my eyes. Jack and the lady laughed a little. "Hey Baby girl it's okay. This is my girlfriend Ali," he told me. I uncovered my eyes a little bit and I shyly waved to her and she waved back. I smiled at how nice she was, but then a scary lady with big, bushy, black hair came up.
