I haven't asked for anything from Witty, but today I
am:
My friend and I have been making beauty videos on Youtube for a
little while now and we have 10 subscribers and almost 400 video
views, but we have a goal set for the end of July. Our goal
is to reach 150 subscribers and 1,000 video views. I am
begging all of you to maybe watch a couple of our videos and
subscribe to us, it would mean the world to both of us. You
are not obligated to watch our videos or subscribe, but if you
did that would be dandy. If you want, you can just watch
our videos and not subscribe, or subscribe and not watch our
videos, or watch and subscribe. But this is the trickier
part, we have another goal, we want 300 subscribers and at least
2,000 video views. So please subscribe and watch our
videos! If you do leave me a comment and I'll make sure
to favorite your quotes and follow you. So thanks for taking time
and reading this! (:

on my own
part one
I remember the day my mom kicked me like it was yesterday, I was
doing what a regular teenager would do on a summer night, I was
with my friends. I don't know what happened next,
everything was a blur. After I took a drink out of my cup
peoples voices bounced off the walls, their words were slurred
and I couldn't understand a thing they said. At one
point I stood up and ran all the way home. Next thing I
knew my mom was in my face, her voice frantic but angry, she was
telling me to pack my things and get out of her house right now.
I laughed for some reason. But when I woke up I was
on the curb with a blanket and my suit case packed.
* * *
From that day forward I promised myself I would never go back to
my mom or ask anyone for help with anything. I took a job
at the Starbucks in the city, the things I saw were amazing,
people with weird tattoos and piercings, I loved it. It was
a foggy, slow day the day everything changed, a lady walked in
with 10 shopping bags hanging off her arms, and a phone glued to
her ear. "Welcome to Starbucks," I said giving
her a million dollar smile. She looked at me and stared for
what seemed like 10 thousand years. "Hey, Donny, call
me back later." she said flipping her phone shut.
"What are you called?" she asked me,
"Chandler Rhodes," I said sticking my hand out for her
to shake. She ignored the gesture and instead reached over
and touched my face, "You're beautiful, do people ever
tell you that?" she asked. "No," I said
looking down at my worn Nike free runs. "How old are
you?" she asked with a smile on her face, what was with all
these questions? "I'm 16, but can you just
order?" I said smoothing out my army green apron.
"Chandler, how would you like to make 20 times the
amount you make in a year, in 2 days?" she whispered.
"I would love to but we all know that's not going
to happen," I said getting flustered. "It could,
if you just come with me." she winked.
Next thing I knew I was in an office talking to an agent, they
told me I could become an actress or model or something huge!
If I got money, I wouldn't share a penny of it with my
mother or my friends after what they all did to me.
But after all was said and done, I was still on my
own.
Skinny
part
one
It's
something everyone wants to be, even I wanted to be
skinny.
Me,
the captain of the cheer squad, the track star, prom queen,
straight A student with the biggest house in
Westchester.
Even
me, the girl that had it all.
It
started as a joke between me and my friends, "Maybe we
should just stop eating!" Kelsey said smiling.
"Are you
nuts?" I asked laughing.
"Come on,
Elle, we could do it!!" Jenny said laughing and taking a
swig of her energy drink.
"Guys,
that's just crazy! Crazy I tell you!" I say giggling and
tickling Nikki who hadn't said a word on the subject of never
eating, she didn't even flinch as I tickled
her.
"Whatev's
guys, I have to get going!" I said grabbing my duffle bag
and started off for home.
When
does a joke become real?
It
becomes real when you give it too much thought, which is exactly
what I did.
* *

"Elle! Get
up, you're not going to have time to eat breakfast!" my
mom yelled from the kitchen down stairs.
"Coming!"
I said looping my braided belt through my belt
loops.
I
was taking extra time to avoid just that, eating
breakfast.
I
looked at the time and ran down the stairs, "I'm not
going to have time to eat! Sorry mom, I'll ask Jenny to give
me a bagel or something!" I yellled running out the door
with my tote in my hand.
I
had been doing this same thing for the past 3 months, avoiding
any contact with food.
During lunch I
would leave school and stay in my car until it was over, I would
tell my parents I had already ate dinner somewhere
else.
Why
am I doing this to myself, I sometimes ask myself.
But
then I rememember, to be skinny.
"Dang, you
look hungry, do you want something to eat?" asked Jenny as
she stepped onto her porch.
"No!
I'm not hungry! I just ate a minute ago.." I
lied.
"Okay,
fiesty! Soooo, Adam said he wants us to sit at his lunch table
today and tomorrow and all this week!!" she squealed walking
backwards in front of me.
"Jenny! You
know that I go to my grandparents house for lunch," I lied
again.
"Yeah but
just this week!! Please! You-know-who is going to be there!"
Jenny whispered.
"Fine, just
once!" I said smiling.
Yay!!" she
said smiling.
* *

My
classes went by slow, I was dreading going to
lunch.
They're
going to notice, I thought walking into the
cafertia.
"I think
it's hot when girls eat!" said Nick, my dream
guy.
Today, I'll
eat, for him.
I
sat down between Nick and Jenny, "Hey!!" I said smiling
from ear to ear.
"Hey, you
want some cheese fries?" he asked putting the plate up to my
nose.
"Uh, no
thanks! But um.." I said trying to think of something
revolutionary to say, "I'm having a pool party, on
Friday. Everyone is invited so tell everyone you know!" I
said smiling as they started chattering.
"Hey, can
we talk outside?" Nick whispered in my ear.
"Sure!"
I said.
He
led me to the back of the school, and into the middle of the
woods.
"I know
what's going on, and you need to stop before it gets to
serious!" he said grabbing my arm with lots of
force.
"What are
you talking about, Nick?" I asked trying to wiggle out of
his grasp.
"You're
not eating. At all. I know that you aren't. You're at
least 10 pounds less than you were before!" Nick said
quietly, his eyebrows knitted together in
worrisome.
"It's
none of your business if I am or if I'm not!" I
yelled.
"I want to
make it my business, I really, really like you. I hate seeing you
like this," he whispered kissing my cheek.
I
got out of his grasp and made a run for it.
Someone knew,
not just someone.
Someone I was in
love with.
Change:
Chapter 7:
I
must have dozed off because when I woke up I was in front of
Hedges Train Station, Brenda was tapping my should gently and
whispering my name.
"Lauren," she said louder, my eyes shot open and I
looked at her.
"Yeah?" I said yawning.
"Well, your leaving," Brenda said frowning slightly,
she put a weak smile on her face and then grabbed my hand
gently.
"I'll miss you," I said quietly.
"I know, but it's time for you to go," Brenda
said letting go of my hand and then kissing my forehead
softly.
"Bye," I said grabbing my 2 black suitcases and
stepping out of the car.
The smell of rain fresh on the pavement wafted into my
nostrils.
It reminded me of Austin and I hanging out in the rain.
I stepped into the train and turned around waving at Brenda who
was leaning againist the taxi.
I waved and turned again, 2 faces were the only thing in the
train.
I felt the train come to a halt and the speaker went off.
"We are now in New York, New York. Everyone please exit
the train, make sure to have all belonings, we are not
responisble for any stolen or forgotten belongings. Thank you
and have a good night," the man said tiredly.
I stepped off the train and saw what looked to be Aunt
Natasha.
She was tall, beautiful and slim.
Everything about her looked perfect, she was tapping her Palm
Pilot with her index finger when she heard my ballerina flats
tap on the cement.
"Why hello there darling," she said showing off her
pearly white teeth.
I smiled showing off my some what white teeth, "Hi are you
Aunt Natasha?" I asked hoping she was.
"Well, my name is Natasha, I'm looking for a little
teenage girl named Lauren," she said smiling once
again.
"Thats me," I said.
Maybe this wouldn't be so bad
afterall.
