Charlie looks at Sarah, "What happened after that?" She asks Knowing more happened.
"Well, the team spent a week at home to test out the new tents, I think it was to run away from Moon for a week. Those people were so ungrateful and terrible to us. I got to share my tent with the girls and I noticed Dodge and Mira had disposable underwear in their cabinets. I showed them mine and they teased me the whole night. Kevin's dad took all of us shopping. Just the girls though, Luna complained her Jeans were tight so we spent all day shopping and we gave away our old clothes to Royal my mother called me aside and demanded to know what we were doing at Moon, I told her Mira was explaining at the dinner table she should ask. I lied but she went there and asked a lot of questions until she was satisfied, but she got more than she bargained for because they told her about the things I was doing for the elderly with Marrow eater. I helped them so much they are walking again, in fact running around the mall twice a day. My grandmother was so proud and reduced to tears, my mom was smiling too happy she was getting credit for being a great mom.
"Pissed me off to the core but I let it go. She told everyone about my marrow eater condition and how in a few years I was never going to walk again. She said it like I still had the disease, I think she wanted everyone to run from me like it was contagious or maybe she was caught up in the moment I still don't know but Bella said she knew about that all along and when she checked she healed my legs and it was gone, we sent her to moon to check on the elderly and my mom wanted to help, I don't know what they did but Bella was so proud of the steam room I made, she said it was as powerful as her ability. It's a genius idea, my mom said nothing and in the evening she cornered me and randomly started telling me to not get a big head, if it wasn't for her I wouldn't be where I am today. She's better than me and smarter than me.
"The next morning she sat as far away from me because when I stood next to her people would ask if she wanted a baby. They would ask why she's so skinny since my grandmother and I have meat on our bones. She told everyone I must be using something to look like I do because women in her family are fat, she's the only skinny one, I must have a secret. At that time Luna walks by wet from the swimming lessons and her figure is so small, her curves were so enunciated. My mom asked Luna what our secret is, Luna said it was in her genes. Everyone arrived and she has a fat ass, she told my mom she works out with me twice a day. My mom felt insulted because she took my weights away, the added weight was from eating there was no time to exercise at Moon.
"Suddenly the other women started copying us exercising twice a day. One thing I missed about Moon was that the women didn't sit and do nothing all day expecting us to do all the work. We woke up early slept late, worked like crazy and couldn't ask anyone for help. They worked out all day and weird enough when they started working out their bath water became gunky. Since my mom was working out she couldn't tell me to not use my weights again so Luna and I went back to exercising again.
"A week later we decided to add one more week and I looked in the mirror while I was naked and I looked good. I felt good. I noticed my breasts had grown so I exercised and the thing about being here was that we were so busy we would skip meals and that resulted in losing a lot of weight in just two weeks, my mom took my weights as we were packing our bags and we were asked to stay one more week before going back so we did, I noticed my mom using the weights and copying my workouts. I decided to workout with out weights instead and it helped shape my waist better.
"We went back to Moon and I started wearing the cincher and ate a lot again because during meal time I wasn't preoccupied with something. I spent 40 days at Camp Moon shortly after that and we went back home after, while the others were helping Moon move I was at home. I hid my cincher and went swimming with Cinna since he invited me. His friends all in their 20s a few are 19. There was Cinna. Minah. Kazuya. Roman. Roku. Evanah. Kanto. Shogun. Brent. Castle. Freeman and Olive. I was a good swimmer thanks to secret lessons by Chronos.
"I didn't have a swimsuit so Minah borrowed me heres, the one in the picture I showed you. It's a one piece with a gater belt, she said it's because we're the same body shape, we were at the second mall pool and it was fun, music and all. Luna asked where I was and I told her, she said she couldn't come she was checking on me because she didn't see me around. It was so cool taking photos together. I don't know what clicked but after Minah and I took a photo together her attitude towards me changed and she suggested I change out of her swimsuit it's too small for me. Since I didn't want to get in trouble for inappropriateness I wore Cinna's hoodie and covered my lower body and changed, I had the Bikini washed and Cinna saw. I invited him in after I wore a long skirt with the crop top. It's a two piece.
"I decided not to go back to the mall because I was too embarrassed about it. My mom showed up from out of nowhere and accused me of having sex with Cinna. Luckily he jumped in to my defense and we sat with Luna and the others at a table. I told them we were swimming at the pool. I showed everyone the photos and I looked really nice in the photos, so the embarrassment went away. The other girls and guys joined us in their bikini outfits and all the boys left, Rex, Chronos, Sharon, June, Toya, all of them were not happy about the girls hanging out like that. Cinna suggested they take my advice and get dressed. Luna suggested everyone get all dressed up. I was shocked I didn't realize I was dressed up at all but I wanted to get my hair done so that's what happened. The girls got their hair done, we all wore matching outfits. We decided to treat just ourselves to a nice meal and chat.
"My mom shows up with the other parents here to spy on us. I don't know what she said but they did not see what she told them and they rolled their eyes mad at my mom. We danced all day to music and I was dancing with Cinna who is a terrible dancer. We disappeared for a while and we kissed behind a tree and when we joined the group I know no one saw us, but my mind was panicking I thought mom knew. She was going to embarrass me again I ran away and apparently the party ended after that. I avoided Cinna like the plague. For 2 weeks straight until we moved into our house, Kanto is my nextdoor neighbor, Olive is on the other side, front opposite is Minah. Front opposite Kanto is Freeman. Front opposite Olive is Evanah. Our families decided every Thursday we should eat together in someone's house to make use of the large kitchen and dining room, it also will make sure that everyone cleans their houses once a week.
"The second week we were at Evanah's house. Cinna locked me in her bathroom and cornered me asking why I was acting weird and avoiding him everyone thinks he did something to me, I told him I was scared my mom would find out embarrass me so bad he was the one avoiding me. I told him I can't be with him right now and probably not any time soon. It's going to take a while to get out from under my mom, I'm only 16 no one will let me be by myself even if my mom is a crazy psycho. We sort of have been cool since, but back to me and my mom the moment we moved into the new house, she started making up crazy rules like no more ointments and I'm not allowed to lock my door and I can't wear my new clothes they're not for winter. They're all skimpy. I told Kevin what my mom said about my clothes and he said since they are in good condition I should give them away. After winter everyone will give away their old clothes anyway.
"That's when you and I met shopping together. I bought a few summer clothes since after winter I am not sure I'll get anything. I took extra disposable underwear. I took perfumes with no healing essence and my mom was happy, but she was pissed when Kevin took the clothes. She didn't expect him to give away anything we decide we don't like. I think she was just using me to see what will happen with her. After he left that week it was going to be a dinner party at our house. I invited Rex and told him I need a time vault device. He made one for me after I told him about my mom, it's under my table. Only I can turn it on, everyday after I bath I apply the usual things that I take from the vault and when she searches my room she finds nothing. Not even disposable underwear and the bin.
"The day of the dinner party everyone caught her going through my stuff because I don't know what her witches intuition was telling her but she turned that room upside down. I think it was because the rash I got from using ordinary lotions was fading away. Everyone didn't even pretend to not see what she's doing. Than Cinna's mother said my mom was jealous of me, she has started wearing her hair like me, dressing like me, smelling like me. She said it between the two of us and she told me if things become too much I should move to the hotel she'll vouch for me.
"The following morning I woke up wearing my face slimmer forgot to take it off and she looked at me like a raging beast. She pulled on it to try and rip it off my face and ended up trying to rip the hair of my sculp. She stopped realising she grabbed my hair, I ran to my room and hid it and when Colin came I told him she just started pulling on my hair. My mom couldn't say why she did it, she played it off and Colin looked my mom dead in the eyes and told her if she ever layed hands on me again she would be kicked out of the camp.
"When Colin left my mom avoided me all day so I called Rex to come hangout in my room. He brought a board game and I thought he would call the others but he didn't he came alone. My mom kicked my door and than swung it open, it wasn't locked, she saw that it was Rex and her jaw dropped, he will run to Colin faster than the speed of light if she doesn't watch herself around him. So she asked if we wanted anything to eat. Rex smiled and asked for my mom's dumplings, he complemented them as the best. For days he was coming to see me and I remember he brushed my hair out of my face and leaned in but at the last second changed his mind, good for us because after he stood by the window my mom's witches intuition had kicked in and she opened the door expecting to see something horrific instead he found us far apart.
"Rex invited me to the hotel to hangout with everyone like we used too and I agreed. After Rex left my mom told me I can't go it's winter. I simply nodded my head and ate my food in peace, I don't know what was happening with her but she broke her plate with her bare hands. She stopped talking to me for 2 days and I was very okay with that. She asked me how the new products were treating me. I told her I just use water now because they burn my skin. I don't even wear a bra anymore so I have to exercise regularly now, but I did find sports tops with Bra's inside, they don't hurt me. I'm thinking of learning how to sew my own clothes because I can only wear Spider silk. The soft material that's actually fire proof. My mom gave me a book and we learned how to sew together.
"Rex gave me my own machine and showed me pointers. I started sewing clothes for the old people at New Moon Camp. When it was done I asked Kevin to deliver the gift for me, when he came back he told me they loved it and it fit so perfectly. My mom not knowing about this was quiet the whole time. She later went and broke my machine I don't know how. So I asked Chronos to help fix it and he did and I made him a jacket with his name on it as a thank you. He liked it alot so I made everyone jackets based on their style. Jet and Jake were the ones I had a hard time figuring out how to make leather jackets, so I added the spider silk inside. I called everyone over so we could see if it fits, they all liked it and Luna asked if she could use my machine it sews Spider silk very gently unlike her nano one that made it super fragile.
"Luna and I would sew while Dodge was there watching the baby, my mom entered and asked who's baby it is and Luna said it's hers. After she made outfits for the baby she left. When we sat at the table my mom held her nose up and started talking about Luna, about how she always new she was a whore and she's a loose girl and all the boys in our age group are weak men and just fall for girls because they are just good looking not because they are good people.
"I don't remember when the conversation stopped being about Luna and become about me but she started talking about how girls that are sexually active you can see it. They mature too fast for their age. They become fat and curvy and their walk changes and all the men just look at them and they become secretive and think their mothers are stupid and don't see that it's one boy than it's the next and they wear slutty outfits that are too tight and dance all over the place with boys. They end up pregnant and thrown out of the house.
"Knowing she's not talking about Luna anymore I smirked and went to eat in my room and I locked it and just cried so upset she was thinking things like that about me, that conversation was never about Luna, I don't know how Rex knew but he was there so fast I just remember being carried in his arms and laying on his bed and I haven't been home since. You decide for yourself what type of person my mother is."
Charlie gives Sarah a hug, "She's such a toxic insecure bitch. I'm so sorry you had to go through that."
Sarah cries upset about it again.
Rex comes down stairs with his shirt off and hair still wet, "I thought you were alone. Can you ladies chat again tomorrow. It's time for bed." He holds out his hand for Sarah.
Charlie stands up going to bed too. She wakes to dinner just being her and her siblings, but Sarah walks in with Rex behind her.
"We should be back early enough to hangout together." Rex says and they disappear and then Sarah appears sitting on a chair with food in front of her.
