Love Thy Sister (Lesbian Story): Chapter 18

Crystal 5:19pm

I called Abbey again earlier and guess what? She actually answered. The only bad part about that though was that she cried soon as she heard my voice. She began to burst into tears and she told me about all the horrible things Mother had told her. She told me about how mother is trying to dictate every aspect of her life and that she can’t stand it. I tried to be as comforting as possible, but you can only be but so possible when walking down the street in a crowd.

Apparently mother is trying to lead Abbey down the path she went down, the path of being a gold digging cocaine whore. She wants to set Abbey up on a date with Matt…the biggest asshole at her school. Not to mention the fact that her date with Matt is on our anniversary… Of course I was pissed when I heard about it, but honestly what could I do? She kept apologizing and she told me that she had no feelings whatsoever for Matt…I believed her. She kept telling me that she missed me and would do anything to be with me. When she said that I wanted to burst into tears with her, but I knew I had to be strong.

Once I managed to calm her down I told her about all the things I needed. I needed my special box, but most of all I needed the money I had stashed away in my pocket. I told her to go through the box to make sure nothing was missing and sure enough it was all there. In there I had my house key, the key to the library, this one special rock that was supposed to bring me luck, and my special pen. It finally hit me when I got on the phone. I could use the library key and stay there at night. It was the most ingenious idea and I couldn’t believe I didn’t think of it sooner.

Now I know living in a library isn’t the most glamorous thing, but for now its luxury compared to market bathrooms. I mean yeah the library has a few rats, it’s freezing at night, and not to mention it’s old as dirt, but it’s all that I have for right now. The best part about it though is that I’ll actually be able to see Abbey more. The library is only down the street and I’m sure even Mother and Father wouldn’t mind her taking trips down there. I know she couldn’t see me every day and all day like she used to, but I mean at least it’s something.

I only have 1000 dollars right now and I need to budget that wisely. So lucky for me I actually wrote down a budget until I get a job. Most of my money is going to necessities like food and grooming products. That can definitely last me a month. Even though Abbey and I won’t be able to spend our first anniversary together, I want to get her something nice. I know she’s not really materialistic, but I still think she deserves something.

So the whole plan for me getting my stuff from Abbey is meeting her at the library after school tomorrow. The plan is bulletproof, unless Mother or Father decides to pick her up, or if they refuse to let her go to the library. Knowing Mother she would want to tag along just to make sure that she was meeting me there. I really need this all to go according to plan because I don’t think I’ll be able to survive downtown forever. I know for a fact that soon I will have to live downtown, but that won’t be for a little while.

Since we live on the “uppity” part of town I could never afford to buy an apartment up here. I was doing some research on emancipation today and I found out that it is possible to rent an apartment when you’re only 16, but it will probably be a very cheap and rundown apartment. Looks like I’ll need to start investing in roach killer and rat traps. I know it would be in my best interest to stay with Savanna and her family, but like I said to be emancipated you need to prove that you have a shelter and not just crashing at some friend’s house.

I do wish I could tell Savanna about all that has happened. I haven’t talked to her in like a week and I know she’s probably worried. I know exactly where she lives, but I know for a fact if I tell her she’ll rush to CPS and everything would go down the drain. The only reason why neither Abbey nor I have called CPS is because we knew that we would be separated, and being separated would be worse than staying with Mother and Father.
