Ava's POV Before I left the club, finally, Susan promised to help me get the statement of some of our regular customers testifying that I was forced against my will to strip after I explained to her what my stepmom had done. I couldn't do it myself to avoid risking my cover. If I stayed too long at the club, the chances that my step mum would find out were high, so I could only trust Susan to help me out with this. Now, there was just one place left to go to. I got to the familiar street of my home. I crossed over to the next house and knocked. Even though it had been a while since we communicated, my stepmom restricted me from going because this woman was the only person who treated me right since I lost my two parents. My stepmom noticed this and warned me to not knock on her doo
