00:00Hi, I'm Violet from Vermont. If you like my story, like and subscribe to MSA.
00:05I grew up with a single mom who made sure to provide everything for me.
00:09Mom was awesome, but whenever I'd see my friends at school with their dads,
00:13I'd ask mom about my dad and she'd just make light of it.
00:17I asked him to get bread one time. Looks like he's still searching the aisles.
00:22Even though she laughed, I knew the question bothered her, so I stopped asking.
00:27My mom loved me to bits, and that was all that mattered.
00:30One time when I was 13, everything changed.
00:34I was just minding my own business when a fight broke out in school.
00:38I tried to get out of the way, but a kid shoved me.
00:40When I got up, I saw a huge puffy rash appear on my skin, and I screamed.
00:46What was that?
00:47I was taken to the doctor who told me I had dermatographia, a major skin allergy to anything I touched.
00:54My skin was sensitive to everything, even just scratching an itch.
00:59The doctor told me it was normal for it to start at my age.
01:03She reassured me the rashes passed quickly, but the condition would not.
01:07Mom, these look so ugly.
01:10Oh no, darling. You're just overthinking it.
01:14You'll be fine. We'll get you new clothes.
01:16If you're uncomfortable telling it to others, you don't have to.
01:19Of course I didn't want to. After that day, I started wearing long sleeves and jeans, and even wore gloves.
01:27But soon, kids started to have a problem with me being covered from head to toe.
01:31I would always tell them that I had a condition, but they'd ask me to show it to them, and I didn't want to.
01:37My illness wasn't some freak show.
01:39Are you some kind of werewolf?
01:41Do you have tons of body hair that you have to keep yourself covered?
01:44Or maybe she has scales.
01:47Who knows? It's so weird.
01:49Who knew people could be so annoying?
01:52One time, as I was putting my books in the locker, a girl came over to me.
01:56It was Charlotte. We were both in the same class.
01:59How come you always wear long sleeves?
02:01Another one.
02:02I was so done with these questions now.
02:05It's never too late to shut up and mind your own business.
02:08Wow, so rude.
02:10I was just asking.
02:11Because you know, kids say so many things about you.
02:14But I know the reality.
02:16I think.
02:16Well, I know you have a tattoo.
02:18That's why you keep yourself so covered, right?
02:21Bingo!
02:22Whoa, really?
02:23How did you get it?
02:24My dad would never let me.
02:26I guess if my mom was still living with us, then she would have allowed it.
02:30Oh, she didn't have her mom with her.
02:32That made me feel sad.
02:34And I decided to cut her some slack.
02:36I asked her to sit with me in class, and it turned out she was a pretty nice girl.
02:40I liked her.
02:41Soon we started watching MSA videos and hanging out after school.
02:45My mom welcomed her into our home with open arms, and her dad was really nice to me.
02:49Nice to meet you, Violet.
02:51Dad, you're embarrassing.
02:53Thank goodness Violet understands how it is.
02:55What really solidified our friendship was when we went ice skating.
02:59I was so afraid of falling because my rash would appear, and when it did, I was so embarrassed.
03:04But Charlotte, she was so understanding.
03:07Ah, it's nothing.
03:09Come on, let's skate more.
03:10Over time, we became best friends, and we were super close.
03:14One time when I was in ninth grade, I saw mom talking to someone in a hushed voice on
03:18the phone just as she saw me enter the house.
03:21Well, that was weird.
03:23I tried to leave it alone, but it became a routine.
03:26She'd be on the phone, and the moment I'd appear, she'd act on edge.
03:30One night, I heard her go out, and when I looked out the window, I saw mom with Charlotte's
03:36dad.
03:37What the heck?
03:38I even told Charlotte about it, but she wasn't too concerned about it.
03:41But I was, because it started to happen almost every other night.
03:45When I confronted mom, she straight out lied.
03:48No, honey, I just went out to get some milk.
03:51Nothing else.
03:52Hmm.
03:53But when one night I heard mom leaving the house, I decided to follow her.
03:57Suddenly, a car pulled up in front of me.
03:59Just then, I heard a familiar voice.
04:01You look like you need a ride.
04:03It was Ben.
04:04He was the new guy in school and a couple of years older than me.
04:07And since he was so active in the students' council, everyone knew him.
04:11He was someone I could trust, so I got into his car and followed mom.
04:14So, who's in that car?
04:16My mom.
04:17I want to catch her red-handed today.
04:19She's been sneaking out a lot lately.
04:22That's a first.
04:23All of a sudden, Ben hit the brakes seeing a cat, and before I could jolt, he grabbed my
04:27wrist.
04:28Are you all right?
04:29I'm sorry.
04:30I didn't mean to hurt you.
04:31It's nothing.
04:32I just don't like being touched, okay?
04:34We found my mom at a small diner sitting across from Charlotte's dad.
04:38After Ben dropped me off, I barged into the diner.
04:42I knew it!
04:43You lied!
04:44Violet, it's not what it looks like.
04:46Please, sit.
04:48Honey, please.
04:49I didn't want to, but seeing mom plead, I sat down.
04:52I should have told you earlier, but I wanted to wait for the right time.
04:57Violet, Charlotte's dad is also your dad.
05:01What?
05:01It's true.
05:02Darling, I am sorry.
05:04Leaving your mom was the biggest mistake of my life.
05:08Now, I want to make up for lost time.
05:10Apparently, dad and mom had dated, but broke up after I was born, and dad moved on to marry
05:16Charlotte's mom.
05:17And now, mom and him wanted to get back together.
05:20My head was spinning.
05:22They both lied to me.
05:23Why now?
05:24Why wait all this time?
05:26Does Charlotte know?
05:27She doesn't know about this, and I'm afraid I can't tell her right now.
05:31The divorce from her mom has been tough on her, and I wanted to wait until the right
05:34time to break the news to her.
05:36Can you keep this a secret, please?
05:38No, none of this makes sense, and I hate you.
05:42I ran out of the diner with tears in my eyes, but mom chased after me and drove me home.
05:47She begged me to give him a chance.
05:49Don't you at least think Charlotte should hear it from her own dad?
05:52She had a point, so I agreed.
05:55For now, the next day at school, I was feeling so nervous to face Charlotte.
06:00Hey girl, I tried to call last night.
06:02How about we catch a movie tonight at my place?
06:04At her place?
06:05No way!
06:06Right then, I saw Ben walking down the hallway.
06:09Before I could think of what to say, he came up to me.
06:12Violet.
06:13Ben!
06:13Charlotte, this is...
06:15my date tonight.
06:16Date?
06:17Yeah, we're going out.
06:19Right, Ben?
06:19Uh, yeah.
06:21I'll pick you up at 7.
06:22See ya.
06:23Vi!
06:23This is your very first date!
06:26I felt bad lying, but hey, it was a good save.
06:30But at home, mom told me dad wanted to talk to me.
06:33Alone.
06:33And I had to see him.
06:35But in the evening, I found Ben waiting for me at my door with flowers.
06:39Oh, I am so sorry.
06:42I totally forgot about our date.
06:44I have to meet my...
06:46Um, someone.
06:46As I started walking, Ben offered to drop me off, and I accepted.
06:51I met dad at a park, and he had nothing new to say except tell me how sorry he was about
06:56leaving mom and me.
06:58Please, don't you have anything new to add to your story?
07:01Listen, honey, I know...
07:03Don't you dare.
07:04You don't get to call me that.
07:05You can't just come waltzing back into our lives and act like everything's fine.
07:10Saying that, I ran out of the park and saw that Ben was still there.
07:15When I asked him why he waited for me, he told me how he just wanted to make sure I was alright.
07:19I found that quite sweet.
07:21On our way back home, Ben got me some ice cream, and we talked.
07:25He sure was a sweet guy, and I was liking him.
07:28A lot.
07:29All of a sudden, Ben came near me and touched my nose.
07:32Got it.
07:33You were looking cute with some ice cream on your nose, though.
07:36Oh, I thought...
07:37I was gonna kiss you?
07:40Um, that wouldn't be so bad, would it?
07:43It sure wouldn't.
07:44But the rash?
07:45Gosh, I couldn't tell him about it.
07:47What if he was grossed out by it?
07:49I told him I wanted to take things slow, and he nodded.
07:52After that day, Ben and I started to go out often, and I guess that's why avoiding Charlotte
07:57became much easier.
07:59Whenever she'd ask me to come over to her place, I just told her I was with Ben.
08:03So?
08:04Does he know?
08:05I almost jumped, thinking she meant about dad.
08:07But she was just talking about my skin.
08:10No, and you can't tell him.
08:12I just can't deal with that right now.
08:14Okay.
08:15How about I ask my dad to come pick us up, and we can go to the mall?
08:18I feel like I'm not spending enough time with you.
08:21Um, maybe later.
08:23A couple of days later, I was having lunch when Charlotte joined me.
08:26But just when Ben came and sat next to me, her face twisted.
08:30She got up and walked away.
08:32I followed her, and when I asked what happened, she went bonkers on me.
08:37Ben, Ben, Ben!
08:38He's always around you.
08:40Do you know that you have a best friend too?
08:42Who is missing you?
08:43I thought we were like sisters, but now you're ditching me like I'm some third cousin.
08:48You don't even come over to my place anymore.
08:51Well, that was cause I didn't like seeing her dad.
08:54Our dad.
08:54But I couldn't tell her that.
08:56But I realized it wasn't her fault.
08:58But after all, Charlotte was my best friend.
09:01So I decided to go to the movies with her after school, and she was ecstatic.
09:05We had loads of fun at the movies.
09:08But just when we got into the cinema's elevator, the door suddenly closed before others could
09:12get in, and the lights went off.
09:14Oh god, this wasn't good.
09:16Getting stuck in an elevator was my worst nightmare.
09:19Vi, you okay in there?
09:21I'm calling for help.
09:22Hang on in there.
09:23Charlotte, fast.
09:25I can't stay in here.
09:26Every second passed inside that elevator felt like a lifetime.
09:30Finally, when the elevator door opened, I saw dad.
09:33He instantly swept me in his arms.
09:35Oh my god, my baby.
09:37I was so worried.
09:38When Charlotte called, your mom and I rushed here.
09:41I just couldn't imagine losing my daughter again.
09:43What did you call her?
09:44What's going on?
09:45Dad had no choice but to tell her the truth.
09:48And when he did, Charlotte went completely ballistic.
09:52Out of nowhere, she transformed into a loud, angry monster.
09:57How dare you lie to me?
09:59You're ditching me, just like mom did.
10:02Charlotte, please, at least listen to him.
10:05Dad had a reason.
10:06And you, you knew about this?
10:09How could you do this to me?
10:11You and your mom?
10:12Stay away from us.
10:14Saying that, Charlotte ran off and her father followed her.
10:17I was so shocked.
10:19I didn't know what to do.
10:20I was sure that Charlotte would understand eventually.
10:23After all, she loved me and always considered me a sister.
10:27I was really expecting Charlotte to apologize at school.
10:30But she just stared at me.
10:32The last thing I want to do is see your face.
10:35You liar.
10:36Charlotte, you always wanted us to be sisters, right?
10:39Can't this be a good thing?
10:40I don't anymore.
10:41Why did you have to lie to me?
10:43Right, Ben.
10:45I saw Ben walking towards us and seeing him.
10:47I saw a vicious look on Charlotte's face.
10:50Maybe it's because you're a natural-born liar.
10:54You lied to me.
10:55You even lied to Ben.
10:57Did you tell him your secret?
10:59What is she talking about, Violet?
11:00Charlotte, stop right now.
11:03Oh, no.
11:04I'll tell you, Ben.
11:05Better yet, I'll show you.
11:07Suddenly, she pinched me hard on my arm.
11:09By the time she was gone, a huge allergy spot had appeared where she pinched me.
11:15Everyone stared at my arm, including Ben.
11:17He didn't say one word.
11:19But the look in his eyes made me realize nothing between us was going to be the same anymore.
11:24Because of the stunt Charlotte pulled, she got detention while I called Mom and she picked me up.
11:29I just couldn't be at school.
11:31I refused to talk to Mom and didn't even go to school for over a week and just locked myself in my room.
11:37I even turned off my phone.
11:39I just wanted to be away.
11:41From everything and everyone.
11:43Thank God winter vacation started and I had some time to deal with the whole drama.
11:48One day, Mom entered my room and hugged me.
11:50I felt like I hadn't hugged her in a million years.
11:54Mom, can we move away?
11:56I don't want to go to school.
11:58See Charlotte, her dad, Ben, anyone.
12:02Honey, that's not the right thing to do.
12:04I know what Charlotte did was very wrong.
12:06But put yourself in her shoes.
12:08I never told you.
12:10But when Charlotte's mom left, the poor girl was completely traumatized and depressed for months.
12:15She totally lost it.
12:17Oh my God.
12:18Turned out, Charlotte had had a huge breakdown when her mom left.
12:22She needed years of therapy and only stopped going recently.
12:26Which is why Mom and Dad thought she could finally be ready.
12:29But perhaps they were wrong.
12:31That would explain her reaction.
12:33She went through so much.
12:35You should have told me, Mom.
12:36I should have known about her condition.
12:38Honey, we thought.
12:40To tell her when the time was right, but the way things unfolded left her shocked.
12:45The entire night, I kept thinking about Charlotte.
12:48Her mom had already left her.
12:50No wonder she was freaking out about me stealing her dad from her.
12:53I needed to make things right.
12:55First thing in the morning, Mom drove me to Dad's.
12:58He had Charlotte standing up front, who was so angry, she was shaking.
13:02Why are you here?
13:04To tell you that I love you and that won't change.
13:07I love you both, too.
13:09Even before you knew about Violet, I loved you both, sweetheart.
13:13You don't love me, Vi.
13:15You abandoned me for Ben and now I will forgive what you did.
13:19I can't be abandoned again.
13:21I can't.
13:22No one is leaving, Char.
13:24I understand you were hurt.
13:25I just wish you would have told me.
13:28I stepped closer to her and grabbed her hands.
13:30But you hate being touched.
13:33I don't care.
13:34You are more to me than any skin rash.
13:36And it's about time you knew it.
13:38We're family.
13:39I should have never tried to hurt you or keep you away from my, our father.
13:44I was selfish.
13:45I'm so sorry.
13:47We all went into the house together for our first family breakfast.
13:50Charlotte and I got closer than ever.
13:52And our dad was pretty cool, too.
13:54But no one was better than mom.
13:56A week later, Charlotte made a plan for us to visit a ski resort in our town, considering
14:01what a disaster our last outing was.
14:03It was so much fun.
14:05We both went for the ski lift and just as I sat, I saw Ben next to me instead of Charlotte.
14:10Talk, you two!
14:11Well, it was awkward, considering how hard I was avoiding Ben lately.
14:15Uh, I'm sorry.
14:17I then showed Ben my skin condition, and he just smiled, saying how it only made me cool.
14:22Charlotte, your arms are beautiful.
14:24I can't believe you'd hide something so cool from me.
14:27You know, I think so, too.
14:29May I?
14:30Ben drew, I love you violet with his finger.
14:32And it appeared quickly in big, puffy letters.
14:35But it was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen.
14:38He kissed me on my lips, and I didn't have an allergic reaction.
14:42After that, I learned to listen, trust, and be proud of who I was.
