Train Day

Ashanti's POV

Kimmy and I have been in the program for now three weeks. Nothing bad has went on but now that we are completely used to the system, we start our training today for confidence.

To be honest, I really don't want to start training. I want to cuddle with my daddy and learn new things that I didn't know about.

I just lied in bed. Staring up at the ceiling. I haven't talked to my mom in a week. I guess it would be nice to call her after I freshen up.

I slowly got out of bed making sure the two boys wouldn't wake up. Brenda is due any day now and I am so excited!

It's only been a couple weeks and I have grown to love Brenda so much. She and Kimmy are pretty much the sisters I wish I had.

And yes, I am complaining.

I looked at myself in the mirror and cringed. Then I remembered what the rules were. "Not allowed to body shame or self shame." I shook my head and jumped in the shower.

Washing my whole body with lavender scented body wash and shampoo, I was very clean. I rinsed off and jumped out of the shower.

"Hey Ashanti!" Kimmy said loudly. My eyes widened and so did hers. I look at her and started giggling. She looked back at me and the sleeping boys.

"Kimmy." I laughed. "Sorry I just wanted to know if you have seen Liam and Zayn?" She questioned.

"No, not recently." I started to put on some of Harry's boxers and a bra. My underwear was showing just a little bit since the boxers hung low on my waist.

"Hm, interesting." She said zoning out a bit. I nodded and brushed threw my hair.

"What should we do today?" I asked quietly stepping out of the room along with Kimmy right behind me.

"I don't know, training starts today." She groaned. "Ugh you're right I totally forgot." I slapped my forehead harshly. "Shit why am I forgetting everything?" I asked myself. Kimmy giggled and shook her head. I quietly went back into the room and grabbed my phone.

I walked out of the room yet again and tapped on my moms contact.

"Hi, it's Ginger, Bradely, Nova, and Ashanti Markwall! Leave a message after the beep!" Our voices were blended in together. It made me smile.

"Hey mom it's Ashanti just wanted to call and see how you were doing. Call me back when you can! Love you bye!" I hung up and dialed my moms work number.

"Cancer treatment center how may I help you today?" I heard the voice of one of my moms nurses.

"Hey Susan! It's Ashanti!" I smiled. "Oh hello dear how are you?" She asked. "Oh I'm doing lovely! How are you?" I asked.

"I'm doing just fine thank you. How may I help you today?" She asked.

"I was wondering if my mom is with a patient. She didn't answer my call."

"I'm afraid not my darling, she hasn't been in the office for two days. Maybe check in with your sister." I tensed up. My sister? "Alright, thank you so much Susan."

"Oh anything for you dear, call if anything." I can hear the smile in her voice. "Of course have a wonderful day." I said cheerfully. "You too Ashanti." We both hung up and I sighed.

Well that was weird. My mom never misses work unless something important pops up.

I shrugged it off. Maybe she will call back later. I walked down the hall and Kimmy was nowhere to be found.
