My Heaven

Ch 2

    Maggie and Elizabeth have been my friends since third grade. We are three peas in a pod or at least that's what we call it. In class we were grouped together for a project and ever since became inseparable. We would hide in between a batch of bushes that created a great hideout and talk for what seemed like hours but would only be about 45 minutes at recess. The crazy imagination we had and crazy stories about unicorns with fairies riding them and how we saw them at the park. We would also get in trouble by the teachers for talking or laughing too much. Teachers would try and separate us but that would help much. We would do everything together and tell each other all our secrets. I'd like to think we know everything about each other. After the accident they were the only people I was able to count on and were able to get me through it all. That was a whole lot of crying on their shoulders, basically leaving their shirts drenched from my tears. A lot of late night phone calls that lasted for hours. But they were there every step of the way, never wanting to leave my side. It's nice to know I have someone in my corner.
    I remember they would come over and my mother would bake us some cookies. We would sit in my tree house and play board games. They would call their parents and ask to stay the night and majority of the time they would. We would build forts in the living room and my father would join along, bringing all the blankets we had in the house. My mother would have a glass of wine and tell us where we needed more blankets while laughing. She would order pizza cause that all me and my friends would eat at that time. Then we would play a movie and fall asleep. Now we are older and things have changed.
    Maggie has beautiful blond hair that falls to her mid back when natural but is always switching it up cause she loves standing out. Her eyes are a sea blue with a hint of green like a beautiful lake on a summer day. She has braces, which she hates cause the wire keeps stabbing the side of her cheeks but luckily she's getting them off soon. She cant stop talking about it cause she feels as if she's the only one with them. She's tall and slim but the perfect kind of slim. She works out a lot cause it gets her mind off reality especially her home life. Out of us three she's the smart one. Her family is hard on her to accomplish her academics goals to hopefully be the future brain doctor of the family. Her whole family are doctors which is why she's expected to be cut and paste. If she could have it her way she would be an author or screenwriter. If you go into her room it's full of books and journals full of stories ranging from fiction to scripts that she hopes one day will be used for a Emmy winning movie. But lately all she does is study leaving all her ideas to rot in the back of her brain. Luckily though she has a bit of freedom to go out, but only if her school work is done otherwise she would get locked in her room.
      Her love life is kinda basic. Shes had a couple of boyfriends in the past but they never last long, usually less than a year. But now she's in a relationship with a girl named Rachel and they are absolutely adorable together, but have to keep things on the down low since her parents don't know. Rachel goes to the other high school on the other side of town so they usually see each other on weekends.  They would usually do anything that doesn't involve going to Maggies house because she believes her parents wouldn't agree with her decisions on who she's with. It sucks we live in a world that doesn't believe we can love whoever cause love is love. That parents would rather kick their children out instead of having that relationship since they in fact brought them into their lives. But when she's ready to tell them she will, and until that happens I'll always have her back and support her completely.
   Elizabeth also known as Beth is the girly girl. She's also tall with long black curly hair. Her eyes are a deep brown like chocolate pools that are irresistible. Out of all of us she could definitely be a Victoria secret model. Walking down the runway with large beautiful wings that are way too heavy but you can't tell from the outside. She has the perfect body, but some would say maybe a bit too perfect. All she ever eats are salads or tiny portions so of course she doesn't gain any weight. At home it's just her and her mother with their two dogs. Her mom gets on her to stay the way she is to hopefully find a successful husband to take care of her financially. In their world that's the only way to have a happy life. "Marry rich so you can stay home to take care of your appearance", as her mother loves to remind her.
    Beth is a boy crazy girl that only talks about who she, at the time, has a crush on. It does get annoying at times cause she's so much more than that. She's so funny and outgoing and can get any man she wants once she steps in the room. She's irresistible. She loves dragging me and Maggie to parties or school games she's been invited to but I only think it's so she doesn't have to sit alone. Out of us three she's a bit more popular getting all the attention but doesn't let that get to her head. When we walk down the halls everyone asks her how she is and if she's going to some party that's happening that weekend. Me and Maggie could be standing right there next to her and get totally ignored. It's not her fault. It's just her life. We are completely opposite since I tend to keep to myself and hide in the shadows.
    I don't know where I would be without them. If I'm having a bad day or even an episode they tend to know without me having to say anything. It's like they can read my mind. It just sucks that I can't tell them how my home life has been over the years. I just know that if they knew everything war would happen between them and him. That they would do everything in their power to bring him down or to ruin his life. I think to myself maybe that needs to happen. But if that does I would have no where to go. He would be in jail and I'd be homeless, sleeping on a park bench or in a shelter with 100 others. Would probably smell a little bad wearing the same clothes I did the other day sticking out like a sore thumb or known as that girl. Maybe Maggie and Beth would offer their place for me to stay at. Maybe I can live a better life. Or maybe I'll just keep everything to myself and hopefully one day escape it all. Move on and out of this town. If only that day can come sooner.
