A Gem, A Lili, and destiny

Harrassment

As I opened my eyes, I remembered the day before, when we decorated my unicorn themed room. I got out of bed and looked in my wardrobe to find an outfit, I decided on some short overalls and a white shirt that was striped with teal stripes. As I went over to my mirror I decided to put my hair into pigtails, pinning my bangs out of my face with some Bobby pins. Mom wouldn't let me wear makeup yet but I was ok with that. I didn't quite understand what was so great about it yet. As I grabbed a small, round, and white purse I left the room.

As I walked down the hall I grabbed the plate of pancakes that was sitting on the counter for me. I took it into the living room to eat while I watched some cartoons. I was teased a lot for liking childish things like that but I was okay with that, as long as I could be myself.

As I walked in it was almost as though I had activated a Rube Goldberg machine. Gem and mom both rushed toward the windows and shut the blinds. I nudged it off as a weird coincidence and then noticed that destiny and her mom were sitting on the couch. "Destiny!" I shouted as I practically squeezed her to death. "Ok, ok, get off of me you weirdo!" She half teased as she moved me to just be sitting next to her.

Mom passed me my pancakes I had put down as I started eating and looking for the TV remote. After a few minutes of searching mom held the remote up and said "Your not going to find it sweetie. We need to talk about something..." I could tell there was something wrong but I couldn't tell what it was.

I sat up and looked at her curiously. Gem sat next to me and started stroking my hair like she had before, but more gently this time. It felt nice but I felt there was more to this. Mom started with "Lili...there was a person online who revealed the fact that your trans along with our address" she finished looking concerned.

I looked at her, confused, and replied "Ok...and? Why does that matter?" Destiny answered with "Well we know you don't like surprises, so we are trying to put this on you lightly but a portion of the town is outside protesting...well...you..." It took me a moment to process what she had said. I didn't only not like surprises but also crowds, so I wasn't exactly sure how to respond to this. Destiny continued "you guys are gonna live with us for a while until the crowd leaves."

I knew that this was safer but I didn't want to leave all my stuff behind. Gem stopped stroking my hair and, almost as though she read my mind, pulled out a suitcase that was very teal and unicorn themed with jewels outlining the sides. "We got you a suitcase to fill your favorite stuff with...like your American girl doll...and...your favorite dresses!"

I knew that I was gonna be able to come back eventually so, knowing that I could bring my favorite things, I grabbed the suit case and Gem's arm, as I ran to my room to pack. Once the door was closed, Gem and I went digging through my stuff to decide what to bring. I packed my two favorite dresses, three skirt outfits, and some overall outfits. With some extra room I packed my under garments and hair accessories.

When we finished, about three hours had passed so Gem and I just plopped down onto my bed. "Your really indecisive." Gem told me. I just giggled in response, knowing it's true but not wanting to admit it.

I got up a while later when mom came to get us, and told us that we had to go. I grabbed the suitcase, a small blanket, a stuffed dolphin, and Stephanie, all to carry in the car. As we left the house, there were tons upon tons of people, whether they were trying to get rid of me or trying to report on me for a news station.

Mom just told me to keep walking till we got to the car, so that I did. Once we got inside the car, I put earbuds in and opened the local news station that was saying "This brave girl is fighting the public opinion, wearing female clothes and carrying a doll. Keep watching to find out what other opinions the public has on this girl." Then it went into an ad break. I thought to myself about how I at least now knew that there were some people who supported me. Then I started to feel upset, thinking about what those "public opinions" might include.

I was pulled out of my thoughts though when destiny shrieked and said "Yay! We're here! This is the first time you guys have been to my house!" Gem and I giggled as we got out of the car and grabbed our stuff.

As we were dragging our stuff inside I realized just how nice this place was, as we walked in the first thing I noticed was the amount of doors, there were like twelve in this one hallway! The entryway included a spiral staircase with a glass chandelier in the middle. At the end of the hallway was a big open space but I couldn't tell what was in it, due to how far it was.

Destiny's mom, Ellie, looked at us and said "Destiny show the girls to your rooms and play areas while I talk to their mom for a second." Destiny dragged us through two different hallways before she dragged us up some stairs and into a hallway with like six different doors, and said "these are my rooms! They will be yours as well while your here!"

I was astonished that she had six different rooms all to herself but I brushed it off and merely looked at her and said "which one is mine? I wanna know!!" She thought for a moment before dragging me into the doorway closest to the stairs and bringing me in. The room was the very definition of princess bedroom.

It had a princess bed, chandeliers, a play castle, a display case of tiaras, and a bunch of princess dresses in the closet. "Woah...you sleep in here?" Was all I could manage to say. "No...this was my room when I was like eight but I figured you would like it." She responded casually as though it was normal to just replace your bedroom every time you grew out of one.

"I love it!! Can we see Gem's room now?" I asked expecting this to be all, however destiny decided to drag me across the hall and into the room across the one we were just in.  It was a play room with dolls and play sets and anything a little, or big that acts like a little, girl could want.

"Woah...but this is it right?" I asked to make sure. "Yeah...you have a personal bathroom but that's not much" destiny replied. She then grabbed Gem's arm and left to show off the next room. I decided to go into my new room and try the new princess bed. I quickly fell asleep due to the stress and excitement of the day, there was still more though, as this was only a power nap.

Hey everyone, as you could have guessed I completely deleted the last three chapters I wrote. It was mainly because I didn't like where the story was going and it was trapping me in a corner. This story is meant to be purely about a trans girl. Anyways, I made this chapter extra long to make up for it.
