3/24 cont’d
Let me tell you. Getting my period for the first time in front of everyone? Not fun.
What makes it worse is that I couldn’t just stop. She wouldn’t let me leave. She forced me to go back onstage and act like nothing happened. Professionals don’t quit. Wrap that hoodie around your waist and get out there. You can change before the meet and greet. It’s a period for cripes sake, you’re not having a baby.
There’s something wrong with my mom.
I mean !!!! Who does that?!
So I’m literally bleeding everywhere, completely mortified, and still have to do the freaking MNG. Cool cool cool.
Once I realized what was happening, I knew I wasn’t dying, but I still had questions, ya know? I needed my mom. I needed her to just understand that for one day, Abby needed to come first.
I guess that was too much to ask. I should’ve known better.
I ran to the BR and coming out of the stall was this girl who literally could’ve been my twin. She was washing her hands and staring at me in the mirror. I’ve seen the doppelgangers Reddit. Everybody has a twin that’s not related to them. Someone you share the same face with.
I found mine.
Chloe! She was super nervous. OMG I’m Missy. I’m your biggest fan. I’ve been to all your shows, and you’re just so amazing. Can we take a pic?
I’m like, yeah, sure. Other Me.
We took the pic. So weird. Like the ultimate faceswap.
Everybody says we look alike, she said.
I know, right? We really do, I said with my Chloe smile, but I felt like a giant puppet doll. Well, nice to meet you, DOPPELGANGER, but I gotta put a glitter shake on that.
She was in the MNG line 2 minutes later anyway with a woman who looked nothing like my mom. I guess doppelgangers don’t necessarily have to have matching parents. One of my mom is more than enough, tbh.
I’m crying. The stupid ink’s smudging. I bet that’s why people started doing this online. But I have to get this out. I don’t know what else to do. I thought the day couldn’t get any worse.
I was so wrong.
