something special

"So tell me Miss. Y/n, how did you end up at this wonderful place of mine?" Mrs. Elsa said to me. "Well-," I start to say. "It's a long story, for another time." Jimmy says. Thank God he jumped in because I didn't want to explain everything. Especially not with all these strangers around. We were sitting at a long table. I assume everyone was here, because all the seats were filled. I was sitting in between Jimmy and a really small woman. When I small, I mean SMALL. Across from us was the tallest woman. Sitting next to her was a woman with no legs, a man with a body mutation and a LOT of tattoos. And everyone else was just scattered around the table. The woman next to me smiled at me and then reached out for a hug. She's seriously the cutest thing i've ever seen. I pick her up and give her a hug. "Welcome home Miss. Y/n!" She says with a huge smile on her face. "Thank you so much." I reply. We all continue eating for about 15 minutes, until Elsa says, "Well honey, if you're gonna stay here, we need to find you an act. You also need something about you that would make you an outcast. Something...freaky." She tells me. "I'll think about it. Thank you everyone. This has been amazing. I'm gonna go get some sleep, and I'll see you tomorrow." I yawn and start walking to Jimmys trailer.

"You be careful wit him honey. He's been through a lot and i don't need some girl comin and ruinin him." A woman says. "Hello? Who are you?" I respond. "Come here darlin' I need to talk to ya." She says. I slowly walk up to the woman's trailer. She's sitting in a rocking chair with a beer and cigarette. She smiles at me and then gestures for me to come sit next to her. "I'm Jimmys mama." She says. "Oh wow it's great to meat you! I'm-" "I know who you are sweetie. Now listen, you're a very sweet young lady, and I don't want you gettin hurt, or you hurtin my son. Do you understand?" "Yes yes I completely understand, but trust me, I would never hurt Jimmy." She gives me a pleased smile, so I thank her and I walk to Jimmys trailer.

Once I get to Jimmys trailer, I change into pajamas, and plop down on the bed. I pick up my diary and write down everything that has happened today so far. I'm in the middle of writing a sentence when I hear a knock on the door. "Hey it's me. Can I come in?" I hear Jimmy say. "Of course Jimmy come on in." I reply. "So what did Ma say to ya?" He asks. "Oh nothing, she was just telling me about the show." "We'll i'm glad you guys are getting along." He says. "Yeah, me too." I reply.
"So about the sleeping arrangements..." He says uncomfortably. "Oh right yeah. Well I can take the floor since it's your trail-" "No no it's ok you take the bed." Jimmy says. " No really it's fine i'll take the floor. It'll only be for a night." This back and forth goes on for a little bit until we decide to just both sleep in the bed. Jimmy slowly climbs into bed next to me. "Goodnight Jimmy." I say to him.

"Goodnight darling."
