“ You don’t need a lonely night, so baby, I can make it right. You just got to let me try to give you what you want. “
‣ STORY
isabel’s sense of self-worth has always depended on others. even as a child she’d compare her christmas gifts to her brother’s to see who was in their parents’ best graces. and so, it was no surprise that the girl fell in line with blair, measuring how much she was worth against how high she was up on blair’s list of friends. and so, rather than outgrow her insecurities, they festered within, despite the fact that to outsiders, isabel seemingly had everything she could possibly want.
as she grew older and started turning men’s heads, she found yet another way to feel worthy, feel accomplished. and so, what began as innocent flirtations snowballed into something much more dangerous - a game of how far can i take it, until one day, with a friend of her father, she took it too far and ended up being paid for her .. services.
there doesn’t seem to be a way to turn back, the hollow girl numb to life, feeling only the rush of excitement when realization dawns that she owns the men who pay for her, can have them eating out of the palm of her hand just by undressing. and even though she tells herself she could stop any time she likes – she doesn’t need the money, obviously, there’s a tugging in the back of her mind reminding her it’s not that easy, lest she finds something else to make her feel alive.
