The Kings Mate

chapter 16

I woke up went to my closet looked in the mirror and for the first time in forever I was actually ok with how I looked like all that I have been through not liking my body image I being finally ok with how I look is such a huge thing for me but the thing I am wondering about is how long this is going to last. I really don't want to fall down that hole that I finally got out of. I grabbed my clothes I have been eating better and all but one thing that still affects me is that my body is always cold still so I grabbed my go-to color which is black, I only wear black leggings I might wear some jeans but that is a not so high of a chance I put back the legging because I remembered that today is when I turn 17 I am so excited I grab I pair of black jeans like I said I only wear black pants I then grab a crop top that was white I then grab an oversized jean jacket it reminds me of and art jacket for some reason I then grab my undergarments I then start to take off the stuff I slept in and put them in the basket I then put on my bra and underwear than my black ripped jeans then the white crop top and last but not least my oversized jean jacket. I then put on my rings and necklaces Tony got me my other necklace and ring that I wear every day the ring he got me is super simple it is gold but paint into a silver color that on my right pointer finger the necklace is gold but painted silver to match the ring the necklace had two circles interwind Tony somehow got this made it means a lot to both of us it has a lot of meanings for one it means to us that life will always go on no matter what and other things. my ring that Xavier gave me before he left goes on my left pointer finger it is a cool ring that does not go all the way around my finger and the one Liv gave me go's on my right middle finger that one is a heart that does not connect all the way somehow she knew that friendship would end but its ok we are friends again. 

After I got all my stuff on I went to my side table and grabbed my phone that headed down the stairs and before I got all the way down the stairs I heard a conversation that was going on and I stopped and tried to listen to it all I heard was going away for summer and maybe the next year when the conversation was done I went down the stairs when I got there they all turned to me and my mom and dad were talking to someone 

my mom stopped talking to the woman "Happy birthday baby" my mom said to me I just smiled in response and walked to the back room and Zack was just sitting on the couch trying to hid I guess and I went with him 

"wanna hid out in my room," I asked he jumped and looked at me 

"did they see you," he asked 

"Yeah but they think I am out here so if we go to my room and go to the secret spot they won't know" I said through something like twin telepathy Zack looked at me and nodded frantically we both got up and went up the stairs silently and went to my room when we got to my room I closed the door like normal and turned the lights off and turned my flashlight on 

"Zack follow me" I don't Zack he did what was asked of him I lead him to my closet I opened the closet door turned on the closet light and closed the door I went to the back of the closet and hit a spot on the wall and it moved and 

"Zack go in I need to turn the lights off" Zack nodded and went in the room I went and turned the lights off and went in the room the lights were on and this was the best part of my closet but there is one other secret part in the closet but Zack knew where it was and was already heading there so I went up the stairs and went in the room with Zack I then put a code in and a door opened with practically an apartment in it you may be wondering why we are hiding from our parents on our birthday well its because they normally do something really weird like inviting the whole pack to our partys with our friends and that is the best thing they did the older we got the worse they got
