After that night, Leslie stayes with me until I fell asleep. I keep waiting for him to ask me about my past but he never does.
  We where on stage for a little with everyone talking and chilling out.
  I like it this way. The cast are a bunch of kids in adult body's. I smiled as Oak attempts to to do a cartwheel.
"Don t think I don't see you there laughing at my wonderful skills Snowflake. Let's see you do a cartwheel then if it's so funny to see me fail." He yelled at me from across the stage. I smiled as I ran over to him and jumped up and did the cartwheel. I laughed at his shocked face and did a back flip and landed on my feet. I saw his face and then decided to do a back hand spring and Ariel.
"How did you learn all those moves man. I curios."
"My mom put me in ballet and from there they tought me these tricks for fun. I miss it, but hey I'm here on Broadway and I couldn't be happier." I said while sitting down.
"Man your mom and dad must miss you. Why did you run away? If you don't mind me asking." He said that last part rushed. I sighed and called the whole cast onstage and made them sit in a circle.
"Ok I know I have been here for like 2 weeks already and I know it's killing you all to know what happened to me. Why I ran away. Well I guess it's about time I told you. "I took a deep breath and let it out to control my nerves.
"It started when I was born. My mom had wanted three boys and one girl. So when they went to the doctors to find out if I was a boy or girl she wasn't mad. She could have another kid right no big deal. WRONG. She couldn't have anymore kids without one of us dying because she was to old. I was the last one. She was now furious that she couldn't have anymore kids. So when I was born she named me Snowflake. Just to spite me. To see if I would beg and plead to change it to something else. But I never did ask. What was the point? So for a few years she was in shock at how much of a boy I was. I had a boy hair cut, boy clothes, and just pretty much boy everything. Lets just say she was pretty happy. Until the day I asked for my room to be painted pink. She at first was in shock but then she slapped me and threw me to the floor. From then on my punishments just got worse and worse until I was being homeshooled in every subject in school and then it was every night she brought the whip on my back. And yes Jonathan, that's why I don't wear tank tops. Anyway at first it hurt but then after awhile the pain just faded away. But then when I was 12 she came home drunk one day and then she decided to pour vodka and rum and teqela all on my back. Lets just say I broke a few windows. So then on my 13th birthday me, my dad, and my 2 older brothers where all at the house watching the wizard of oz when she came home a screaming drunk. She went into the kitchen and brought back a knife. She then killed my dad and my 2 brothers. I ran to my room grabbed my stuff and just ran away. I haven't heard or seen about her on the news so hopefully she's died. Anyway that's my story so I hope you enjoyed it." I said in a monotone. I felt tears on my face but said nothing as I got up and went to my room. I heard them calling me but did nothing. I got my room and went straight to my bed.
I threw myself on it and cried till I couldn't breath. I felt a hand on my shoulder and looked up. The cast was in my room there.
"Hey pipsquek. I know you didn't want to tell us, but thank you for telling us. Really. We Now know why you ran and we understand.  You're not weak. If anything your stronger then all of us here. Way stronger. We love you not matter what your mother did." Daveed said rudding small circles on my  back.
"Yeah Cookie did you think that we would judge you because of her? Well guess what, we don't judge people by what there parents have done."
"Never have never will." I snapped my head to the door. Lin was there. Damn it. I'll have to explain it to him and I don't know if I could explain it again.
"No need to tell what happened. I heard everyword. Sorry I didn't make my presence known sooner but I liked it in the corner. Anyway, no need to panic we really don't care about your mother. We care about you."
"Really we don't care lil sis. Really. If anything we only care if you eat all of Thaynes cookies then we will care about what you did. But really as long as your honest that's all that matters. Right guys?"
"Of course!"
"Without a doubt!"
"Never in a million years!"
I smiled lightly and sat up. I hugged my knees to my chest and grabbed a blanket. I think I was in live with this blanket. It had little snowflakes on it, along with little snowman and snowangels. I smiled at how Chris grinned and winked at me. He got me the blanket.
"Hey you gu- oh uh I see you are having a moment but when your ready we can learn the last dance and then tomorrow we can bring in the background people and everything." Alex said looking uncomfortable. We all laughed at him in a nice way and nodded our heads. It was only 12 o'clock so we had time.
"So just remember this conversation. We will always love you Theodosia. Now come on before Alex faints." I laughed and threw my blanket on the bed. I went to get up but was swept off my feet by none other then Chris.
"Onward Laurens. South Caralina needs you!" He yelled out in his George Washington voice. I laughed as I he ran down stairs with me in his arms. Every one else laughed and followed at a much slower pace.
