Sew Me Up

Justin, Satan and Measuring Tape

Mitts is one of the biggest fashion studios in New York. my step mother, and my own personal Satan, Claire Mitts was the owner and CEO of the company. So, how did I end up in this shit sundae?

Well,  when I was born I had a mother and father and very sweet neighbor with twin daughters who were my age. From then until I was nine I was happy, I played with the twins and danced around in dresses that my mother and our neighbor made together. Until my mother got into a wreck.

I was only ten years old and waiting behind the curtain in a dress that my mother had made especially for my school's production of the Nutcracker, I was the ballerina. I remember watching through the curtains waiting for my mom to arrive but she never did.

The doctors said she died on impact.

My father and I were completely heartbroken. Until one day our very sweet neighbor, the same one who had helped my mother, the same one with the twin daughters, Claire Mitts, sank her teeth into my father and what money we had and began to build her empire.

My father fell in love again and he smiled and that's all I wanted and I was happy, I had a family again. I had two sisters who liked me and were my age, how could I not be? It wasn't until one night when Claire and I were left alone when she blamed me for my mother's death.

"If you would have been a little more grateful, a little more patient, maybe your mother would have never been speeding," I remember her sneering. "Just a little speed and black ice are all it takes for an untimely death to happen," Claire told me.

Worst part? she didn't even yell or screech at me, Claire Mitts looked me in the eye and told me that it was my fault that my mother died. Alexis and Emily turned on me too, well sort of.

I would be teased and pointed at when I was at school and my clothes at home would have holes in them where someone had cut them.

We got a dog, Lin Lin,  for the twins birthday and they try to feed Lin Lin my favorite red, sparkly flats. He didn't seemed to like them too much and ate the twins jordans instead.

Claire also blamed me when we ran out of money "Too much money for that school, you don't pay attention there anyway," so she pulled me but kept her own children in. I was placed in the nearest public middle school and that's where I met Selena Gomez, my best friend.

I wasn't allowed to have friends over until I begged one night for Selena to stay over. I was so excited and then it almost came tumbling down when Alexis and Emily tried to steal Selena from
me.

Selena sat and watched as Alexis pointed out the holes in my shirt, Emily stood by only laughing when looked at. I remember I was wearing one of the few shirts that had the least amount of holes in it, Alexis has a smile just like her mother's and stood in front of me and taking one of the holes and ripping at it until the shirt was destroyed. Alexis laughed and glanced at Emily who also began to laugh.

"C'mon Selena, let's go and do something else," Alexis sneered, her face looking more and more like her mother's. Then Selena looked at me and the ripped up clothes and red blotchy face then at my step sisters clean, nice clothes and pretty faces.

Selena stood up and began to walk away and I just slumped onto the floor but I heard a loud smack and then a cry.

I jumped up and saw Alexis holding her cheek and Emily comforting her "Never mess with Jewels like that or I'll rip out your extensions, " Selena said and stomped over to me and helped me up. I stayed the night at Selena's and I knew from that point on that Selena would always be by my side.

When I was crying, she'd bring me tissues and when I was lonely, she'd never leave me until I was annoyed of her (which was never). When I got the cold she stayed with me and when it turned out to be more than the cold and I was in the hospital for three weeks, she'd visit every weekend.
