Can you be mine? (A young Raeda fanfic)

Not Now Mom

Ok so let me explain this, because by the title, your probs already like "what is this?" Basically this is gonna be in Raine's pov. Basically the fandom all agrees, which is actually really sad, that Raines parents weren't that good of parents so I kinda wanted to write about it so... Anyway this will be a kinda sad chapter but the last one was a lot so we need to bring it back down because we aren't even close to the climax yet. Also I kinda think that it's funny that every thing that has happened in this story has basically happened in the same day so lol.

Raine pov:

*Smack*

"Did you hear that" Eda says while quickly turning around.

"No Sunshine," I say reassuringly.

"Oh, now you're giving me nicknames, Flower," she giggles.

"Hey," I say.

I hear quick footsteps but let in go, someone was probably just walking by some ways away. I'll just brush it off for now.

I look down at my watch, 2:00pm, oh no I gotta go.

"Oh shoot, I was supposed to be home 5 minutes ago," I say.

"Oh," Eda says sadly," Can I at least walk you home?"

"Oh course," I say.

"I wish you could stay longer," Eda said.

"Yeah me too," I reply.

I can tell that we are both sad that we have to go home already. And I really didn't want to and not just because Eda was awesome, because she is. It's just that I don't really have the best home life.

If I do even one thing wrong I get massive trouble. It's like I'm forced to be perfect. I HATE IT!

And the other day I get into a huge fight with my mom, and she's trying to act like the whole thing never happened. It's just too much to handle, but I'll get into even more trouble if I don't come home.

I think Eda can sense that I'm not in a good mood so she doesn't talk but still holds my hand. It's kind of awkward but I can't bring myself to say a word. I wanna tell her, but I don't want to burden her.

Well she already knows about my terrible family dynamic but I didn't tell her about the fight that happened but it was really bad.

*flashback*

"No," my mom said, "I won't call you that."

"Mom, let me just explain," I said.

"No, Roxie Whispers go to your room now," she yelled at me.

I ran into my room and leaned against my bedroom door. I slid down till I was sitting down. I brought my knees to my face and started crying.

I hated my mom so much, she didn't even care about me. Most nights she works till after midnight so I barely saw her. She said that she "did it for me" but I knew that she went out gambling with whatever new boyfriend that she gets every week.

"I already let her cut her hair," I hear her say from afar.

"Now all this they/them shit," she continues.

"What else does she want from me," she says.

"Oh and don't even start about this stupid lesbian crap," I hear her mutter.

Oh I don't know maybe being an actual good mother. Heck, I wish that I never even meet her, let alone be related to her. I'd rather just run away then keep putting up with this. But, I wouldn't have anywhere to go.

She never even cared about me. All my cheer Competitions, she never come. All my Bard rehearsals, she never came. All my art shows, she never came. But Eda always did. That's why I liked her so much.

*end of flashback*

"Hey Raine," Eda says, knocking my out of my trance.

"Oh, ah, yeah," I say awkwardly.

"Are you ok," she says worried.

We turn the corner and walk up to my house, then she stops my right in front of my porch.

"Are you sure everything's fine, you haven't said a thing for the past 15 minutes," she asked genuinely scared.

"Yeah, I'm fine," I say quietly.

"Sure, and I'm Emperor Belos," she says playfully.

That makes me laugh.

"So is everything alright," she asks again.

"No," I say sadly.

"Do you wanna talk about it," she says.

"No," I say.

She sat down on the bench in front of the window of my house. She pats the spot next to her and I sit down.

I really wish that the blinds were closed cause, I was kinda paranoid that my mom was going be spying on us for some reason.

"Came on, you gotta tell me," she said.

"Fine," I reply.

"Ok, so me and my mom got into a big fight to other day and now she acting like the whole thing never happened," I say

"About what," Eda asked.

"Well she classified it as and I quote "they/them shit" and "stupid lesbian crap," I answer.

She puts her arm around me and rubs my shoulder. I know that she also isn't the greatest with emotions and stuff but it's nice that she actually cares. Unlike some people I know.

She stands up and I follow. Then she turns to me and says

"I love you Raine."

"I love you too."

Then she kisses me softly. I kiss her two and it's nice. We pull away and I give her one last hug and she kisses the top of my head.

"You know I mean it right," she says.

"Yeah, I know," I reply.

"Good," she said.

We let go and I head inside.

"Bye," I say.

She waves and I shut the door.

"Hello," my mom says in a very monotone voice.

I jump.

"Ah, you scared me," I say.

"Yeah whatever," she says "what was what I just witnessed outside."

I feel my body tense and my ears go red.

"Not now mom," I say and start working to my room.

"Ah, hey, get back here," she says.

"I get to my room and slam the door and lock it.

"It's nothing," I say.

"It's is not, nothing," she cries.

"Well, it's not like you would care," I scream.

" I do care, and I don't want you seeing her anymore," she says through the door.

"Well to bad," I yell "just go away!"

"Fine," she says "but we're talking about this later.

"Whatever," I scream.

Then I fling myself onto my bed and scream into my pillow. Then I start crying. I hate this, Eda would know what to do. Wait that's the perfect plan...

Cliffhanger dun dun da. Sorry but I really want this part to be in Eda's pov, and I don't want to do another chapter, cause this one took my almost 2 and a half hours. Yeah writing takes a lot of time, so if you're stuck on something that's ok ideas take time, and believe me I know. This was a really sad chapter but it was also a tribute to the LGBTQ+ community because that's what a lot of them have to go through and it sucks. So we all need to be kind to one another and know that we all have different experiences. Just know, you are valid!!!!! Lots of love, from REX ❤️
