College towns, they offered lots of opportunities for people looking to find themselves, or just find a good time for the night. For the men of Sigma Pi, this weekend was going to be a little different. The Fraternity Chapter President had decided it was as good a time as any to find locals and really let the brothers let loose. Thus, inside the frat house main room, a rowdy party was now in full swing as Skylar Hansen is led into the back room.
Pres: The other girl’s in the bathroom there getting ready. Do you need anything before we start the festivities?
Skylar: a bed is all I need, I'm a simple girl sir
The guy nods, smirking creepily though that might just be from the liquor on his breath.
Pres: Ok, we’ll send the first few in here in a minute or so…
He turns and walks out the front door leaving Skylar in the room looking at the red walls with big black G’s all over the place. Within a few seconds, she’s joined by a second blonde whose clothes scream that they’ve seen better days. The blonde nods, not really knowing what to expect.
Blonde: Hey…
Skylar takes in the girls appearance, an appearance that reminds her so much if her own when she first ran.
Skylar: Hey.
The blonde starts to ask something else when the other door opens and five drunken guys lurch in, three looking like the might pass out any second now. The door closes as they move in.
Drunk #1: Hey baby…
He moves in and Skylar goes to work as a second moves in near her as well. The other three stagger over to the second girl.
Drunk #2: You’re a hot one, ain’t ya?
Skylar peeks over at the oithe girl while on of the frat boys kisses her neck. The girl looks petrified, she frowns, something wasn't right here.
Skylar: You ok over there, girl?
The second drunk with Skylar grunts before falling to his knees in his state of intoxication while the three near the blonde just grin.
Drunk #3: Mmm.. she’s fine…
Drunk #4: Daaaaamn right she is!
They start to fondle her, their buddy sliding his hand up her shirt.
Blonde: Hey wait… what are you doing?
Drunk #5: Thought you said you wanted to party?
Blonde: i did but.. ow… OW!!!
Skylar pushes the guys off her recognizing exactly what was going on here.
Skylar: I think its clear she doesn’t want this... Get off her!
Drunk #4: Shut up, bitch, you’re both getting paid…
They start to pull the girl’s pants down.
Blonde: What are you.. no… NOOO, please don’t!
Skylar rushes forward and shoves the guy away from her
Drunk #3: Da hell you doin?
Skylar: Yeah? Pay or no pay if she don’t want it... It’s rape. That's gonna look good on you record next to under age drinking and dui isn't it?
The guys try to argue but find themselves to drunk to do much of anything. The blonde girl pulls her pants back up and stares around, scared out of her mind.
Skylar: Let’s get out of here before they change their mind.
The blonde nods and follows her outside to a car.
Skylar: Do you have a home I could drop you to love?
She says after sliding into the drivers seat. The blonde girl shakes her head. Skylar gapes sympathy and shock on her face.
Skylar: You don't have a home? Like at all?
The blonde girl shakes her head.
Skylar: Well I know how that feels... there's a couch at mine it’s yours if you want it for as long as you need.
The blonde girl just stares at Skylar, tears welling up in her eyes.
Blonde: Really?
Skylar nods.
Skylar: I've been where you are. I don't wanna see you suffer the way I did.
Blonde: Ok…
The blonde girl looks down.
Blonde: Did they expect me to… have sex with ALL of them?
Skylar nods grimly.
Skylar: They did. That's what they hired me for, fuckin drunk assholes…
The blonde stares off into the distance, visibly shaken.
Blonde: I’ve never done it before…
Skylar: Never? But you’re eighteen right?
The blonde shakes her head.
Blonde: I'm fourteen.
Skylar gapes.
Skylar: Fourteen!!! Those bastards were going to ruin a fourteen-year-old.... I've got half a mind to go back and kill him... Kill them all!! Fucking rapist asswipes!!!!!
The blonde’s eyes go wide with fear. She starts shaking, visibly looking worried she’s done something wrong.
Blonde: They didn’t know…
Skylar: Doesn't matter, they're still assholes. If I hadn't got you outta there they would have done it anyway even if you had begged them not to. Just like my father... Men are such fucking pigs!
The blonde gapes back now in shock.
Blonde: Your… your Daddy…
Skylar nods.
Skylar: I was not much older than you...
Blonde: Had... you?
Skylar nods.
Skylar: Yes... But not the way he did it....
She closes her eyes, she hated crying and she needed to focus on driving
Blonde: I’m sorry, I’ll shut up now.
Skylar: It’s OK, it’s not your fault. It’s men like those boys. Like my father…
The blonde girl nods.
Blonde: My Daddy’s dead...
Skylar: I'm sorry... And your mother?
The blonde girl nods.
Skylar: How long?
Blonde: Two years.
Skylar: And you've been on your own all that time?
The blonde girl nods.
Skylar: How have you survived?
She asks this even though she knows the answer, but she had to know. Did this girl, who would have been twelve at the time,did she gone through the hell she had?
Blonde: Homeless shelters, churches… I started out with some money and got to stay in motels for a little bit to start with. The first shelter, I met a lady who got me an ID I could use to fool people into letting me get a room. Shoplifted at convenience and grocery stores some. Learned how to beg in front of Wal-Marts and grocery stores.
Skylar breathes a small sigh of relief, thankfully the girl hdnt endured too much hell. No drugs, no selling herself. Shed make sure it stayed that way. She wouldnt let this girl follow her path. Even if it meant working double hours she'd make sure this girl was fed and clothed.
Skylar: I'm Skylar by the way
Blonde: Cynthia... most people call me Cindy, or Cind.
Skylar: Pretty name. You from around here?
Cindy shakes her head.
Cindy: Florida.
Skylar: I'm not from here either. I'm from Norway, grew up in New York, but I haven't lived there since....
She trails off swallowing the lump in her throat
Cindy nods.
Skylar: since then I've moved a lot. Toronto, Ohio, Chicago, now here in Georgia. I like to keep on the move
Cindy: I’ve managed to hitch rides around. Beg enough money for busses...
Skylar: same here, its surprising how many people are willing to.... Help... A young girl.
There's a slightly bitter tone in her voice that tells us, it wasn't that easy for her.
Cindy: They paid me some in stuff I don’t…
Skylar frowns.
Skylar: Like what?
Cindy shrugs.
Cindy: Well, they said I could drink and I didn’t get to. But the one guy gave me a baggie of powder, another gave me some pills and the third guy gave me some money.
Skylar: What did you do with the stuff?
Cindy: It's in my bag, why?
Skylar: Was just wondering is all. It’s not the kind of stuff you wanna get into that's all.
Cindy: I don't even know what the pills are.
Skylar: No doubt some type of drug. Speed maybe, they offered me some too. I told them I didn't need it. That I only accept straight up cash. One thing you learn living as a runaway. Never take drugs off a stranger. I made that mistake once. Not something I wanna relive.
Cindy nods.
Cindy: So, what should I do with it? You think I could flip it on a corner or something?
Skylar: well that is an option yeah. But it'll be better if I do it...
Cindy nods.
Skylar pulls the car into the curb.
Skylar: Well this is my place here, its nothing flash but its cheap. Sadly there's only one bed, but couch is comfy and I got a spare blanket and pillow.
Cindy nods.
Cindy: Beats the grass lot behind the Seven Eleven.
Skylar: This is true.
Cindy steps from the car and then tentatively hugs Skylar.
Cindy: Thank you...
Skylar is surprised by the hug but hugs her back
Skylar: Your welcome, I couldn't leave you to those wolves.
Cindy nods.
Cindy: Um… when you were asking me about the drugs earlier… was that you asking if i used or had a habit? It’s ok, if that was… I was just… does that mean… you… do?
Almost as soon as the words come out, cindy shakes her head.
Cindy: i’m sorry, i’m prying… it’s none of my business, i should just shut up bhefore you change your mind and call me ungrateful and….
Tears start to well up in her eyes.
Cindy: Send me away again…
Skylar: I would never send you away Cindy... I couldn't ever do that...
She puts her arms around the girl.
Cindy: I’m sorry, I don’t mean to be all up in your business…
Skylar: It’s OK, and yes, I do. Not something I'm proud of but it must be done. It’s the only way I can cope since... Since my father…
Cindy nods.
Cindy: I’ve tried some, none that I would call a habit since I never stay anywhere long enough to set anything up but I’ve had some people share with me. I know some I didn’t like much.
Skylar: You gotta be careful what you take. Some are really bad. Some can kill. Some can make you a psycho. I wish I didn't have to take them... But I have to.
Cindy: Are you alone too?
Skylar: By choice, yes.
Cindy nods.
Cindy: Thank you for giving me… a chance...
Skylar: I'm just giving you what I never had.
***************************************************
8 Years later - The present day
Two girls are seen sitting in a darkened corner of a bar. The younger of the 2 girls, Cindy aka Sin, had just used her fake ID to purchase drinks and now sits with a beer in front of her, while the older woman, Skylar, sits with a bourbon and coke in front of her. Sitting nearby is a potle of pills Sky had just scammed out of a phamacist up the street and a small bag of Cocaine Sin had got paid for a private dancing gig.
8 years on, Sin still lived with Sky and the 2 had developed sisterly bond. They were more than just friends, they relied on each other. Sin had followed Sky from city to city, every time she fled her past. Helped her out of many situations, there wasnt much the young girl would do for the elder one and vice versa.
Sin: Please let me have some this time…
Skylar: Ok fine, but not too much ok? You gotta pace yourself Sin.
Sin shrugs.
Sin: What, it’s not like I have it all the time. We usually flip it for some fast cash.
Skylar: This is true... Speaking of fast cash... You'll be pleased to know, I've stumbled into quite the... rich client. Paid me ten grand up front, for one session. Said I was worth every cent.
Sin almost spits her beer.
Sin: He paid... HOW much?
Skylar: Ten Grand. I know, it shocked me too. He works with me actually. An Irish guy by the name of Pauly. Quite the looker too.
Sin grins.
Sin: So he’s not just some poor sap you’re looking to take and run from?
Skylar: I don't think so this time. You see, I befriended him before he asked for my services. That makes things different somehow. PLus, you know the whole working together thing.
Sin nods as she cuts out a couple of lines of powder.
Sin: So, do you like him?
Skylar: You know I've never liked anyone that way... Not since Rick. I... I dunno if I could give my heart to someone like that again... If I even have enough heart left to give that is…
Sin nods before snorting her first line.
Sin: So…
She sniffs, rubbing her nose furiously.
Sin: Friend with several benefits?
Skylar: Yeah, though as awesome as it is... should I keep taking that much money from him every time?
Sin sniffs and then shrugs.
Sin: Depends, doesn’t that say you like him if you won’t take his money but still fuck him?
She slides the mirror with the powder on it over.
Sin: Want some? It’s good shit.
Skylar nods before leaning over and doing the line.
Skylar: Where did you get it from again?
Sin grins.
Sin: Dealer who wanted a private dance. It was from his own private stash.
Skylar: It’s good stuff. Gonna have to keep his number for sure.
Sin nods.
Sin: He’s a regular at the one club I dance at. Fucking awesome tipper too!
Skylar: Gotta love the big tippers.
Sin: Especially when it’s cash and good coke!
Skylar: The best kind of tip.
Sin starts cutting out a little more.
Sin: So I got a couple of offers for more than dancing...
Skylar sighs
Sylar: You know my thoughts on that Sin... Besides with this money from Pauly, you wont have to anymore. a few more time with him, and we're set. within weeks we could well have fifty grand in our pockets. Think about it Sin. No more selling ourselves... In any way shape or form. I can be solely Pauly's client and we're golden
Sin nods before snorting up the next line.
Sin: I told the porn guy no right off. He set off my… eww! meter just… yeah, no way…
Skylar: fair enough, some porn guys are just... Yeah, ewww... its hit and miss there. Mostly Miss.
Sin: The other guy I thought about saying yes to just cause… he was kinda hot and I was like… mmm…
She sniffs and rubs her nose a couple of times to clear it.
Sin: But then he said he like, wanted me to like, fuck another girl too and i was like, yeah, you totes got the wrong girl there dude…
Skylar: Yeah... Stay away from that one
Sin shrugs, giggling.
Sin: I mean, if certain chicks walked through the door right now, I’d consider it and be like, ung, my ovaries explode for you! but… that dude’s girlfriend was NOT one of them!
Skylar: Old hag was it?
Sin shakes her head.
Sin: Eh, she just had this weird look in her eye and like, she wasn’t the type. Like the chicks you work with, I’ve, ya know, watched clips online and like, there’s a lot of hot ones there, right? This was not that. This was like a soccer Mom trying to pretend she was street and not pulling it off at all.
Skylar: Ahhh Was he forcing her into it maybe?
Sin: NAw, i kinda got the vibe that it was like, totally her idea and he was doing because, like, he wanted to keep her happy and thought it was hot but was almost worried if he didn’gt score a second chick…
Skylar: aaahh, One of those type of girls. Yeah, barge pole that one Sin.
Sin nods.
Sin: i mean he was totally cute and I’d have probably done him if it was just him but, she just had a… way about her that made it not hot at all.
Skylar: Have you been with a girl before?
Sin shakes her head.
Sin: No… you’ve met the couple of guys I’ve had…
Skylar: If you ever did, you know I wouldn't judge you. As you know, I have had girls for work. Men arent the only people who come to see girls like me.
Sin: Given a couple of lap dances to girls before. They didn’t tip as well but they didn’t get grabby either.
Skylar: Most girls do seem to have more class than the guys do. Most are there simply to enjoy and admire. they understand and respect boundaries and what not.
Sin: Helped that they weren't as drunk too!
Skylar: good point
She giggles as she starts to cut out more lines.
Skylar eyes her as she does this
Skylar: Hey Sin... How many lines have you had?
Sin looks down and shrugs.
Sin: Um… a couple… I think…
Skylar: don't you think we should slow down and save some for another night?
Sin: One more? you can save or sell the rest if you want…
Skylar looks like she might say no, but sighs.
Skylar: Just a small one, and thats it. Can't have you dying on me here, kid.
Sin: You too?
Skylar nods
Skylar: Just one. I already had some pills earlier, don't' wanna over do it
Sin nods and quickly pares the two lines down before closing up the bag.
Sin: Mmmm… what kind of pills were they?
She leans over and quickly sniffs up her last line before sliding the mirror back over to Skylar.
SKylar: Just the normal, one speed, one prozac.
Sin nods and polishes off her beer.
Sin: i think i’m gonna need another beer to even it out.
Skylar: Only if I can have one too.
Sin: i’ll be right back while you make the powder disappear.
She does just that, inhaling it deep. Sin comes back a second later with two fresh beers.
Sin: Do you think either of us is ever getting married?
SKylar: Maybe one day... In the very very distant future. When I can settle down without HIM finding me.
Sin nods.
Sin: I often wonder what it’d be like… being in love…
Skylar: I already know. Its nice when you have it, but when you lose it... its the worst pain imaginable and the pain never leaves
Realizing what she’s said, Sin frowns, gritting her teeth apologetically.
Sin: Aw, shit, i’m sorry Sky. i didn’t mean to…
Skylar: It’s ok, Sin… I'm sure I would have remembered him eventually… I always do…
She skulls the last of her drink before banging the glass down on the table.
Skylar: I need another drink...
She excuses herself and goes to the bar to grab another drink. Something stronger this time. She comes back a few minutes later with an absinthe. if this didn't make the pain go away, nothing would.
Sin sees the drink and nods warily.
Sin: i should pack up now, huh?
SKylar frowns
Skylar: Pack up? why?
She nods to the glass.
Sin: Because when you drink that stuff, you start calling me “Cynthia” and we usually end up dodging police. Like me that one time I tried to buy coke and got heroin instead.
Skylar: Do you want me to take it back and make them tip it out?
Sin shakes her head.
Sin: No, you already paid for it… but if you start calling me “Miss Conway” again, we’re going to the hospital!
Skylar cringes
Skylar: Did I really do that?
Sin: only once, you spent the rest of the night worshiping at the altar of the porcelain god.
Skylar: Just this one, then we'll go home. Ok Sin? You know the signs, stop me if you have to.
Sin: ok.
The scene fades out on the pair
Pres: The other girl’s in the bathroom there getting ready. Do you need anything before we start the festivities?
Skylar: a bed is all I need, I'm a simple girl sir
The guy nods, smirking creepily though that might just be from the liquor on his breath.
Pres: Ok, we’ll send the first few in here in a minute or so…
He turns and walks out the front door leaving Skylar in the room looking at the red walls with big black G’s all over the place. Within a few seconds, she’s joined by a second blonde whose clothes scream that they’ve seen better days. The blonde nods, not really knowing what to expect.

The blonde starts to ask something else when the other door opens and five drunken guys lurch in, three looking like the might pass out any second now. The door closes as they move in.

He moves in and Skylar goes to work as a second moves in near her as well. The other three stagger over to the second girl.
Drunk #2: You’re a hot one, ain’t ya?
Skylar peeks over at the oithe girl while on of the frat boys kisses her neck. The girl looks petrified, she frowns, something wasn't right here.
Skylar: You ok over there, girl?
The second drunk with Skylar grunts before falling to his knees in his state of intoxication while the three near the blonde just grin.
Drunk #3: Mmm.. she’s fine…
Drunk #4: Daaaaamn right she is!
They start to fondle her, their buddy sliding his hand up her shirt.

Blonde: i did but.. ow… OW!!!
Skylar pushes the guys off her recognizing exactly what was going on here.
Skylar: I think its clear she doesn’t want this... Get off her!
Drunk #4: Shut up, bitch, you’re both getting paid…
They start to pull the girl’s pants down.
Blonde: What are you.. no… NOOO, please don’t!
Skylar rushes forward and shoves the guy away from her
Drunk #3: Da hell you doin?
Skylar: Yeah? Pay or no pay if she don’t want it... It’s rape. That's gonna look good on you record next to under age drinking and dui isn't it?
The guys try to argue but find themselves to drunk to do much of anything. The blonde girl pulls her pants back up and stares around, scared out of her mind.
Skylar: Let’s get out of here before they change their mind.

Blonde: Really?
Skylar nods.
Skylar: I've been where you are. I don't wanna see you suffer the way I did.
Blonde: Ok…
The blonde girl looks down.
Blonde: Did they expect me to… have sex with ALL of them?
Skylar nods grimly.
Skylar: They did. That's what they hired me for, fuckin drunk assholes…
The blonde stares off into the distance, visibly shaken.
Blonde: I’ve never done it before…
Skylar: Never? But you’re eighteen right?
The blonde shakes her head.
Blonde: I'm fourteen.
Skylar gapes.
Skylar: Fourteen!!! Those bastards were going to ruin a fourteen-year-old.... I've got half a mind to go back and kill him... Kill them all!! Fucking rapist asswipes!!!!!
The blonde’s eyes go wide with fear. She starts shaking, visibly looking worried she’s done something wrong.
Blonde: They didn’t know…
Skylar: Doesn't matter, they're still assholes. If I hadn't got you outta there they would have done it anyway even if you had begged them not to. Just like my father... Men are such fucking pigs!

Skylar: Yes... But not the way he did it....
She closes her eyes, she hated crying and she needed to focus on driving

The blonde girl nods.
Skylar: How long?

The blonde girl nods.
Skylar: How have you survived?

Skylar: The best kind of tip.
Sin starts cutting out a little more.
Sin: So I got a couple of offers for more than dancing...
Skylar sighs
Sylar: You know my thoughts on that Sin... Besides with this money from Pauly, you wont have to anymore. a few more time with him, and we're set. within weeks we could well have fifty grand in our pockets. Think about it Sin. No more selling ourselves... In any way shape or form. I can be solely Pauly's client and we're golden
Sin nods before snorting up the next line.
Sin: I told the porn guy no right off. He set off my… eww! meter just… yeah, no way…
Skylar: fair enough, some porn guys are just... Yeah, ewww... its hit and miss there. Mostly Miss.
Sin: The other guy I thought about saying yes to just cause… he was kinda hot and I was like… mmm…
She sniffs and rubs her nose a couple of times to clear it.
Sin: But then he said he like, wanted me to like, fuck another girl too and i was like, yeah, you totes got the wrong girl there dude…
Skylar: Yeah... Stay away from that one
Sin shrugs, giggling.
Sin: I mean, if certain chicks walked through the door right now, I’d consider it and be like, ung, my ovaries explode for you! but… that dude’s girlfriend was NOT one of them!
Skylar: Old hag was it?
Sin shakes her head.
Sin: Eh, she just had this weird look in her eye and like, she wasn’t the type. Like the chicks you work with, I’ve, ya know, watched clips online and like, there’s a lot of hot ones there, right? This was not that. This was like a soccer Mom trying to pretend she was street and not pulling it off at all.
Skylar: Ahhh Was he forcing her into it maybe?
Sin: NAw, i kinda got the vibe that it was like, totally her idea and he was doing because, like, he wanted to keep her happy and thought it was hot but was almost worried if he didn’gt score a second chick…
Skylar: aaahh, One of those type of girls. Yeah, barge pole that one Sin.
Sin nods.
Sin: i mean he was totally cute and I’d have probably done him if it was just him but, she just had a… way about her that made it not hot at all.
Skylar: Have you been with a girl before?
Sin shakes her head.
Sin: No… you’ve met the couple of guys I’ve had…
Skylar: If you ever did, you know I wouldn't judge you. As you know, I have had girls for work. Men arent the only people who come to see girls like me.
Sin: Given a couple of lap dances to girls before. They didn’t tip as well but they didn’t get grabby either.
Skylar: Most girls do seem to have more class than the guys do. Most are there simply to enjoy and admire. they understand and respect boundaries and what not.
Sin: Helped that they weren't as drunk too!
Skylar: good point
She giggles as she starts to cut out more lines.
Skylar eyes her as she does this
Skylar: Hey Sin... How many lines have you had?
Sin looks down and shrugs.
Sin: Um… a couple… I think…
Skylar: don't you think we should slow down and save some for another night?
Sin: One more? you can save or sell the rest if you want…
Skylar looks like she might say no, but sighs.
Skylar: Just a small one, and thats it. Can't have you dying on me here, kid.
Sin: You too?
Skylar nods
Skylar: Just one. I already had some pills earlier, don't' wanna over do it
Sin nods and quickly pares the two lines down before closing up the bag.
Sin: Mmmm… what kind of pills were they?
She leans over and quickly sniffs up her last line before sliding the mirror back over to Skylar.
SKylar: Just the normal, one speed, one prozac.
Sin nods and polishes off her beer.
Sin: i think i’m gonna need another beer to even it out.
Skylar: Only if I can have one too.
Sin: i’ll be right back while you make the powder disappear.
She does just that, inhaling it deep. Sin comes back a second later with two fresh beers.
Sin: Do you think either of us is ever getting married?
SKylar: Maybe one day... In the very very distant future. When I can settle down without HIM finding me.
Sin nods.
Sin: I often wonder what it’d be like… being in love…
Skylar: I already know. Its nice when you have it, but when you lose it... its the worst pain imaginable and the pain never leaves
Realizing what she’s said, Sin frowns, gritting her teeth apologetically.
Sin: Aw, shit, i’m sorry Sky. i didn’t mean to…
Skylar: It’s ok, Sin… I'm sure I would have remembered him eventually… I always do…
She skulls the last of her drink before banging the glass down on the table.
Skylar: I need another drink...
She excuses herself and goes to the bar to grab another drink. Something stronger this time. She comes back a few minutes later with an absinthe. if this didn't make the pain go away, nothing would.
Sin sees the drink and nods warily.
Sin: i should pack up now, huh?
SKylar frowns
Skylar: Pack up? why?
She nods to the glass.
Sin: Because when you drink that stuff, you start calling me “Cynthia” and we usually end up dodging police. Like me that one time I tried to buy coke and got heroin instead.
Skylar: Do you want me to take it back and make them tip it out?
Sin shakes her head.
Sin: No, you already paid for it… but if you start calling me “Miss Conway” again, we’re going to the hospital!
Skylar cringes
Skylar: Did I really do that?
Sin: only once, you spent the rest of the night worshiping at the altar of the porcelain god.
Skylar: Just this one, then we'll go home. Ok Sin? You know the signs, stop me if you have to.
Sin: ok.
The scene fades out on the pair
