Ma Chérie

Chapter 5

We all had a fun time, asking each other dumb questions. "Last question Laney, what is your story?" Emerson said. "W-what do y-you m-mean?" I asked with my anxiety starting to kick in. "Your life story up until now. If you don't feel comfortable saying something, you can leave it out." "O-okay." I take a deep breath and start talking. "I was born today, about 14 years ago. Im turning 14 in about 2 hours (A/n it's 9 PM) I don't know that much about my parents though, they never were really around. All I know about them is that they wanted a son, not a daughter. So they kept me until I was 3 then they said that we were going on a trip and to pack my things, including all my value things. At the time, me being a small 3 year old I never thought otherwise, I believed I was going on a trip with my "family". So I packed my things, and we were on our way to the orphanage. When we got there, my so-called mother and father, walked me up to the door and knocked. A lady came out with a smile on her face assuming that they were here to adopt, but she saw me and she frowned slightly. My parents talked to her, telling her they didn't want me anymore. And then they left, leaving me behind. So I lived in the orphanage. That was my new home. I met a girl, who at the time was 10, she introduced me to the world of punk, emo, rock, classic rock, and music like that. She introduced my to bands like Panic, My chem, Green Day, Fall Out Boy, Van Halen, The Beatles, Queen, and Linkin Park. I eventually started to get bullied for my taste in music, I never really liked pop music, unlike all the girls, except me and Jessie. Jessie being the girl who showed me all the bands. The bullying continued. When I was 4 Jessie came into my room, telling me she found a new band. And I started to listen to their music, and I've been listening to them ever since. I never new that the majority of the songs I listened to had deeper meanings until I was 9. That's when I started to hate everything about me. At 10," I paused for a moment to debate whether or not I should tell them, I decided not to tell them. "Never mind. Anyways, I kept listening to the same bands and was still being bullied. At 11, when I started to have crushes on people, the bullying got worse. It went from the girls pushing me around and calling me names and our caretaker doing nothing, to the girls hurting me, pushing me downstairs, pushing me into walls and calling me names and the main caretaker," I paused to gather my thoughts. "calling me names too. When I was 12 I had a foster family that didn't send me back in the first few days. They kept me for about a year. They adopted me in January. They got me into sewing and photography. They gave me my first ever camera. They were rich so they didn't care that the camera was really expensive. They soon found out that my mom at the time was pregnant, they decided they didn't want me anymore and put me back into the orphanage. I've been there ever sense. When I found out that you guys were coming here on the 22, today, I was ecstatic. Because I've been listening to you guys sense the Kropp Circle era and you guys have helped me through a lot." I take another deep breath. "So that's my story from start till now. Thank you for coming to my TED talk." I joked. We continue to play until we all were out of questions. And we decided to play truth or dare. Needless to say, Emerson threw out half of Remington's stash of Nutella, Remington got mad and locked Emerson out of the bus for 10 minutes, and Sebastian had to hide the other half of Remington's Nutella as me and Emmy locked him outside. "Good night guys." I said. "Night." They all respond. I headed to the bed and lied down.
