Trying to Find a Way

Chapter twenty-four

"Are you going to stay with me?" I ask.

"Of course, love. I'm never leaving unless you truely want me to." He said.

"Then you're never leaving." I softly say before I kiss his lips.

"We need sleep." Troy says between the kiss.

I break away and nod.

+++++++++++++++

Beep.....Beep.

Stupid alarm.

It turns off.

My eyes flutter open to see Troy up.

He notices that I finally woken up.

"Good morning my beautiful." He says with a smile.

Getting out of bed, I stretch.

I go over to him and pecks his lips.

"Go get ready." I say to him.

He nods and heads to his room.

I go into my closet. Grabbing a white and black dress, I slip it on. I also put black tights on to complete the dress.

I have no idea why I'm wearing one. I guess I'm in the mood.

My feet walk into the bathroom.

Curled hair, little makeup on, and my combat boots, I have to say I look pretty good.

Troy slips into the window without looking up.

He is wearing a button down shirt and dark jeans.

Troy

looks

hot!

"Hey, are you read-" He stops mid sentence as he looks at me.

A blush creeps up on my cheeks.

"You l-look amazing." He says breathless.

I walk up to him and hug him around the waist.

"You do too honey." I say.

"Honey?" He questioned.

"That's your nickname!" I say happily.

He chuckles.

We walk down stairs, hands laced together.

Bea is up.

Of course wearing a mini skirt and a blouse.

She's starting school.

The room starts to spin.

Troy realizes something and wraps his arm around my waist for support.

"It's okay. You're okay. She won't hurt you. I won't let her." He says.

I nod.

I've lost my appetite.

We walk into the kitchen where Bea is.

She looks up at us.

She hasn't changed.

"Well Carolina you certainly look like.. something," She says with venom, "but you could drop a couple pounds."

Wow.

Suddenly I feel self conscious.

"You look beautiful. Don't listen to her." He whispers into my ear.

+++++++++

School was a blur.

My mom had work off so she was home once I got home.

Bea beat me to the house, I rode with Troy.

As I walk into the house, mom and Bea are talking quietly.

"Carolina!" My mom calls, "Come here!"

I walk into the living room and sit on the opposite couch as they were.

"We were talking about how you've.. gain a little more weight." My mom says calmly.

Wow. Bea's officially poisoned moms brain.

I thought she was different.

"So we will give you the foods that will help you lose the weight. Also Bea's going to train you." Mom said.

I can only nod.

Old habits are back. I have no choice to have a saying in this.

I go up to my room and lock the door.

Stuff always happens to me.

At least I have Troy, at least Troy loves me for who I am.

Mom calls me down for dinner.

I have a small bowl of fruit. That's it.

"Bea's also going to help you with your sense of style." Mom said.

I almost choke.

"No." I say.

Mom looks at me with angry eyes.

How did Bea do this?

I look at Bea. She is smirking.

I want my mom back.

"You will do as I say!" My mom gets angry.

I look down and nod.

I've lost my appetite.
