Please read the first story 😎

Mom -

"Why are we here?" Cindy sighed. She got on her boyfriend's bike and I didn't want to her to drive off on her own because I was afraid she'd get us into trouble.

Cindy -

"Like I said, to pick blueberries."

Mom -

"So...what...is your favorite thing to do?"

Cindy -

"Sex," she froze.

Mom -

"What!?"

Cindy -

"Don't be surprised, that's the only true thing about me going around school, oh wait...I do vape," I sighed. She glared at me and held her hand out.

Mom -

"Give it to me," she shook her head.

Cindy -

"Not happening, sorry, but, my stuff belongs to me, if I'm going to smoke, then, I'll smoke," I smiled and walked to another bush of blueberries.

Mom -

"Cindy!" I growled a little.

Cindy -

"Fine, I'll give it to you, as long as you drop the cheesy act," she tensed up. "When was the last time you've had...fun?" She frowned at me.

Mom -

"...I have fun, and that's with Sara...we like the same things..."

Cindy -

"Yes, but what exactly do you do? Friendship bracelets and doing each other's hair!?" She took offense to that. I sighed. I went back to the motorcycle and opened a compartment filled with spray paint.

Mom -

"What..."

Cindy -

"What are you just standing there for? Like I said, I'll give you my vape, if you can just relax and stop being a prissy bitch, just for one night," her eyes widened.

Mom -

"There is no way..." She pulled out a vape.

Cindy -

"Quite full, I heard these can kill you," I shrugged and took a swiff.

Mom -

"Fine! Give me the vape first!"

Cindy -

"Nope, your playing by my games teach," she looked down slowly at the bag of spray paint. She went crazy on a billboard, I did my usual mark, she just made an emoji.

Mom -

"There! Now hand me the vape," she smirked.

Cindy -

"Alright," I slowly handed it to her. She glared at me.

Mom -

"How many do you have!?"

Cindy -

"Just four," I slowly handed them to her.

Mom -

"These are brand new..."

Cindy -

"Yes...and expensive!" I crossed my arms, "you better find a damn good hiding spot."

Mom -

"Can...I do something?" At first she wasn't listening, but unexpectedly, I hugged her.

Cindy -

I froze like an ice cube, "what are you doing?" I whispered.

Mom -

"I'm hugging you," she tried backing up, but I wouldn't let her, so she stayed put.

Cindy -

"Your pathetic," I whispered.

Mom -

"Oh? I'm pretty sure you actually like being hugged," she shook her head.

Cindy -

"My boyfriend is the only one I will allow..." I got away from her, "now, let's go, back to what you call home and I call prison."

Mom -

"Prison..."

Cindy -

"Yes, I've been there," she gasped. We got back to her house, Sara smiled big and went to hug me, but I put my pointer finger out and poked her in the head making her back away.

Sara -

"Oh come on!" I sighed long.

Cindy -

"Sara, when you stop being a pussy, I'll let you hug me."

Mom -

"Okay, that was uncalled for."

Cindy -

I sighed again, "and your a boring old lady," she gasped. She's actually young, really young.

Sara -

"Cindy...Jack's lawyer showed up."

Cindy -

I stared at her. She handed me a file, it had my name on it.

Sara -

"Jack said this will help you..."

Cindy -

"You didn't look inside did you?" I whispered.

Sara -

"No..."

Cindy -

I stared at her for a long time.

Sara -

"Okay...fine! I did, but I'm your older sister! I was concerned! His lawyer thought I was his girlfriend!"

Cindy -

I felt my heart sink, "your noting to me, and you will never be anything, leave me alone, and stop worrying about something that's only temporary."

Mom -

"Temporary, nothing is temporary."

Cindy -

"You don't know me," I whispered, "I'm not like any of you," I shook my head. "Your all so happy, but for me, all I have, is my boyfriend, I feel uncomfortable with you, when you try and get to know me, I feel like I'm going to get sick."

Sara -

She hugged the file.

Mom -

"What...is in the file?"

Sara -

"Everything..." It seems Jack took pictures of the abuse, not only that is in there, but records of hospital records too.

Cindy -

"If you ever look through things that aren't yours miss sticky fingers, I'll turn you inside out!" She frowned and gritted her teeth.

Sara -

"Your such a bitch! I don't get how my mother is yours! She's nothing like you! That's probably why she left you and took me! Your the problem child!"

Cindy -

I rolled my eyes, "I never had a family to begin with Prissy! It don't bother me that I was alone! I have myself! My boyfriend!"

Sara -

"You don't have a boyfriend! You have a loser going to jail because he killed your father!"

Cindy -

"I don't care what you think!" I shrugged, "think of me as a bitch! I don't care! You can have your perfect life Sara! There's nothing about mine I would change! So what if my boyfriend killed my dad, he did a lot more than what any of you were going to do, a few days ago, you didn't even know we were related," I shrugged. "So maybe it's best it stays that way, I never wanted a mom, or siblings."

Sara -

She stepped around us, "cancer freak," I growled.

Mom -

"Sara!"

Cindy -

"Your right, I am, I'm a lot of things, but just remember, I may be a cancer freak, but calling me that, is calling a dozen other children like me, freaks," I turned and looked at her, "so, who feels bad now?"

Mom -

"Where are you going Cindy!?" She shrugged.

Cindy -

"Who gives a shit," I put my helmet on.

Mom -

I grabbed her shirt by the collar pulling her back before she could leave, "your not going any where Cindy! We are all going to sit down!" She frowned at me the entire time. We sat in silence.

Sara -

I hate this.

Mom -

"Okay...now...I'm just saying Cindy...I know it hurt you when she said all those things..." I whispered.

Cindy -

"It really didn't."

Mom -

"Yes, it did," she didn't look at me. "Let me clear something up."

Sara -

"What do you mean?"

Mom -

"I was over joyed when I found out I was pregnant again," I smiled a little, "I was with a man...and...another man," Cindy's eyes widened, "that's right, your mother has been there, and done that, ain't so old now am I!?"

Sara -

"Eww! Just continue!"

Mom -

"Well...my boyfriend at the time...wasn't with me when I gave birth to his baby," I sadly looked down, "the man that was, was my other...guy...and...he took you away in the middle of the night," I stared off for a while.

Cindy -

So, he wasn't my dad...that's why...he did all those things...and hurt me badly, I was being held captive I suppose that's how I'd say it, just with freedom to go where I roam.

Mom -

"We looked for days, my husband, Tanner, Sara's dad, also looked, we couldn't have anymore kids together because his sperm wasn't good after our first...and so...we found our closes friends...but I fell in love with my boyfriend...I got a divorce, and...when we went to be a family...you were gone."

Sara -

"Your so disgusting mom! I can't believe you slept with two different guys!"

Cindy -

I rolled my eyes, "who gives a shit how many," I crossed my arms, "I've slept with my entire class," they both froze up, "big orgy in the boy's locker room."

Mom -

"...I think I'm going to be sick..."

Cindy -

"Me to," I smiled, "there was to many boys, and only two girls."

Mom -

"Who's the other girl!?"

Cindy -

"Jessie," I whispered.

Mom -

"Another J?" She nodded.

Cindy -

"Anyways, it's actually a lot more better than one," I crossed my arms.

Sara -

"How would that even work?" My mother smacked my shoulder!

Mom -

"No more!"

Cindy -

"Well, you see, one stands here..." My teacher clasped her hand over my mouth.

Mom -

"Please Cindy! You've already destroyed your brain! Don't destroy hers!"

Cindy -

I frowned. "Not on purpose," I sighed. "The world isn't all cupcakes and rainbows Miss. Vale," I crossed my arms, "people die left and right," I pointed at Sara, "she is older than me, and knows nothing about an orgy? Or sex toys, vaping, drugs."

Mom -

"Of course not..."

Cindy -

I smiled, "you poor child, your missing out on a lot of fun," they both took a step back from me.

Sara -

"Cindy...you are the most weirdest person alive."

Cindy -

"Yah..." I got up from the kitchen table. "I'm done here."

Mom -

"No, I don't think so."

Cindy -

"Yes, I do think so," she frowned, "my dad, is dead," slightly I raised my hands up, "all that happens next is another foster home," slowly I stepped more back, "I don't care where I go, but before I do, I'm getting my boyfriend back!" I shouted as I ran out the door.

Jack -

They put me on trial, I haven't heard from Cindy, but she arrived and went and talked to the judge, she was in there for a long time. Her mother came in fast, with the envelope.

Mom -

"Where is she!?"

Jack -

"She's..." For some reason, she completely ignored me and went inside the judges room, interrupting their conversation.

Mom -

"Cindy, we need to talk."

Cindy -

"Not now," I slowly pulled my proof out, and one by one, he looked through, and her face went completely white.

Mom -

I felt sick after reading those papers.

Cindy -

"Listen," I put my hand down lightly on the desk. "I do drugs, I vape, and I have sex, and I'm dying," I smiled, "it's all because of that asshole that's being put in the ground," I slowly grabbed the hem of my shirt, and I lifted it up, revealing my bruised up body, and back lashes. "My boyfriend was trying to protect me."

Mom -

That's not it...

Cindy -

"He would drink his damn life away, while I'd starve to death," I growled. "Do you think my father deserved to live!?" The woman got up and she was in so much shock.

Mom -

The judge gave him a minimum number of days in community service.

Cindy -

So, I got my boy back, problem was, he needed a place to stay. Miss. Vale came up slowly and offered us at her place, well, I was being forced to go back, my teacher got me in her custody after Jack, which on my case, is going to be hell.

Mom -

"So this is your room..."

Cindy -

He stared at her then the room, I sighed. "Or you can sleep with me," I grabbed his hand.

Mom -

"Cindy, he is not to take one foot in your room."

Cindy -

"Okay," I pulled him into his. "Then I'll stay in here with him," she shook her head.

Mom -

"Follow the rules Cindy, or I'm going to half to ground you."

Cindy -

I stuck my tongue out, she didn't like that.

Mom -

"How mature."

Cindy -

"I'm not mature, I'm a child in a woman's body."

Mom -

"Your not even a woman," I crossed my arms.

Cindy -

"I am, a woman," I winked, "Jack helped with that," she rolled her eyes.

Mom -

"Let's go!" I pulled her out of the room, and away from the boy. Cindy was sitting on Jack's lap in the morning!

Sara -

"What..." Cindy poked Jack's nose.

Cindy -

"Well, we'll see about that," I grabbed his hand, "school day...which means I need to leave you," I smiled. "Or I could just, skip."

Mom -

"No! You are going to school! It is bad enough that you didn't do your homework!"

Sara -

"This proves my point," I rolled my eyes. "You don't know anything about math!" I proclaimed.

Cindy -

"I...do to..." Jack shook his head.

Jack -

"Remember when we built a house together, and you couldn't even read the numbers?"

Cindy -

"I can to!" I growled.

Mom -

"No, you can not, I've looked at your hand writing from the past Cindy, you've had lots of help, and being in the hospital, didn't help."

Cindy -

"So sorry," I rolled my eyes.

Mom -

"That's the thing that pisses me off Cindy! Your not sorry!"

Cindy -

"Why would I be? You sure and hell ain't," she completely froze.

Mom -

"Why do you expect me to be sorry Cindy!?"

Cindy -

"Because," I crossed my arms.

Sara -

"Why, Cindy?" I was interested on hearing what she had to say.

Cindy -

"When I look at you, all I can think about, is hate, and nothing more."

Jack -

"Don't avoud the question Cindy."

Cindy -

"I'm not avoiding it!" I got off his lap. "I have mommy issues! Okay!? That's it."

Jack -

"Why are you yelling at me?"

Cindy -

"I'm not fucking yelling at you!" He nodded.

Jack -

"Loose your tone of voice!" I crossed my arms.

Cindy -

"Why do I need to loose my tone!?" I stared at him. "You gave me away to these people! You never stop Jack! Why does it matter so much that I need to have a family!?"

Jack -

"Because! Cindy! Does it ever occur to you that maybe I want to start a family with you after high school!?" She frowned at me.

Cindy -

"Me and you Jack, that's all we need."

Jack -

"Cindy!" She walked out of the room.

Mom -

"...What was that?..."

Jack -

"Cindy was pregnant, she was going to tell her Dad one day, and he beat the shit out of her before she could get the words out...if you payed close attention to those files I had kept safe, there was a hospital bill for that."

Sara -

"So...maybe that's why she gets so angry all the time...her hormones are trashed," I smirked.

Jack -

"It's not funny," I whispered. "Me and Cindy were looking forward to it, she was happy, but sad at the same time because she started thinking about her mother, and realizing, she knew absolutely, nothing."

Sara -

I have a father, and an awesome mom, and Cindy had nobody. I thought that maybe it was because of the person she is, and that's why I wasn't going to be nice to her anymore, but instead, it wasn't her to begin with.

Jack -

I sighed. "Cindy had a miscarriage, and she got depressed, and that's when she finally tossed out her hope, and started wearing more black than colors."

Sara -

"So...she needs...help?"

Jack -

"Yes."

Sara -

"Why are you doing this?"

Jack -

"Because...things are complicated between me and Cindy..." Sadly I looked down, "my cancer is back...and she knows it, and I'm not going to live this time..."

Cindy -

I listened to him speak.

Jack -

"I love your daughter...but it's not enough..." I smiled. "She needs you both more than you know, because when I'm gone, she will throw her life away," I gave them a serious face. "Cindy has tried killing herself way to many times to count."

Mom -

"What!?"

Jack -

"Cindy has medicine, that she is supposed to take for depression, and anxiety...not to mention, she also had therapy."

Mom -

"Oh my goodness..."

Sara -

"So...can you explain why she's...so...mean?"

Jack -

"When, Cindy was eight, her grandma dumped her off back with her father, for the first time she felt loved, until, her grandma gave her back to him, because she was dying."

Sara -

"Will you get to the point!?"

Jack -

"Cindy used to be the shy girl...but after being with her dad, and realizing her grandma and mom weren't there to save her from him, she started...being mean because she was alone in a small bubble, her feelings festered up, and everything came out on people around her because if she were to scream or even throw a tantrum, she would get locked in the closet until the day..."

Sara -

"What do you mean until day!?"

Jack -

"Her father waited til after ten, and when she was sleeping, he'd drag her into the closet, and she doesn't like the dark..." I sadly looked down. "That night I was there under her bed hiding... because we had a sleepover..."

Mom -

He looked ashamed.

Jack -

"Cindy didn't sleep, she cried for hours, she cried for her mother, and grandmother, even though she didn't know you...she still cried for her dead mom...he would torment her by whispering nasty things into the closet door, and she'd scream...when he'd let her out, she'd cover herself in blankets and cry herself to sleep...until she got sick..."

Sara -

I bit my lip, I was going to cry, I couldn't do it, not here, not in front of them.

Mom -

"Cindy said he was nice to her til she turned five, is...that..." he shook his head.

Jack -

"Cindy was living on the streets."

Cindy -

My throat ached, I wanted to kill him! I was crying though.

Jack -

"Cindy passed out from hunger, and dehydration, because people walked around her like she was invisible, she was invisible, and she didn't have a home...a place to be...she was just there...One night, the first night she stayed with me, she asked me...what did she do, to make her dad mad, and her mom die?"

Sara -

"What...did you say?" I took a deep breath in.

Jack -

"I told her...it wasn't her fault...but the more I told her to think positive...the more she became sad, she had friends, but they all of a sudden ignored her and left her in the dust..."

Mom -

I really needed to hug someone, I felt like I was going to drown in a blood bath.

Cindy -

I slammed the bedroom door shut. I was angry at him! Why would he tell them all that!? I started crying more, I cuddled into a ball, and I cried.

Sara -

Mom stared at Jack for a moment, then slowly walked away without saying another word. She went to Cindy's room and knocked on the door, it was so silent in there.

Cindy -

"Go away freaks!" I yelled. It got cold so I was cuddled in a blanket.

Mom -

I took a deep breath and entered into the room. Cindy's eyes were red, and puffy. Slowly I went and sat next to her. "He's telling me... because you won't tell me anything..." She didn't look at me. "I'm sorry that your father...did all that...bad stuff to you Cindy...and I'm sorry I wasn't there," I smiled a bit, but my tears started rolling down.

Cindy -

She started sniffling.

Mom -

"I looked every where Cindy...I had no idea you were on the streets when you were little," I placed my hand on her shoulder, "I want you to tell me, no more of it coming from Jack, I can see this is really upsetting you..."

Cindy -

"Why should you care?" My voice whined.

Mom -

"It's my job to worry, and care Cindy," I frowned. "I know you weren't expecting me to be your teacher, and your mom, but I wasn't expecting my own student to be my daughter," I placed my hand on my heart.

Cindy -

"Your not..." She made me look at her.

Mom -

"I am, and always will be, start a new beginning, and throw away the past," she shook her head.

Cindy -

"After fourteen years of torment, I'm never going to let it go," I shrugged her off. "Please leave me alone..."

Mom -

"No," I got up onto my knees.

Cindy -

I didn't like how close she was getting, until finally she hugged me! She took my arms and made me hug her back.

Mom -

"There you go, that's how you hug someone," I whispered.
