Feelings

"What about this one?" Jinx trailed her pink nail along a scar on Minx's hip. 

The two girls lay in Minx's reclining couch seat, wrapped in each other's arms. Ever since Vander took Minx in, she had never once slept on a bed. 

They slept in only their underwear sweaty skin against sweaty skin. Smiles ghosted both of their faces, every part of them at ease in each other's arms. 

"When I was a kid in Piltover, my mom used to force me into ballet class. One day, I tripped into a glass wall and it shattered." Minx explained, tracing circles along Jinx's tattooed arm. 

Jinx giggled into her girl's neck, "So graceful." 

Comfortable silence filled the room. Minx's bedroom, although it did not contain a bed, was just as messy as her lab. Various articles of clothing were flung around the room, makeup, and stolen perfumes littered on her vanity along with multiple pieces of steel black jewelry. 

"And how'd you get to Vander from ballet class?" Jinx snorted, her head buried in Minx's neck.

In the seven years Minx had known Jinx she never told her the full truth about how she appeared in Vander's care, never told a soul. 

Taking one deep breath Minx told her whole truth for the first time of her life. "My mom was an addict, a bad one, she took anything she could get her hands on," Minx waved her hand in the air telling her story, "And she'd do anything to keep a fix." 

Emotion overflowed in Minx, tears of sorrow she hadn't let herself cry in years, "When I was nine, she heard of shimmer for the first time, and she realized she'd do anything to get it." 

Tears now slipped freely down her pale cheeks dripping down her chin and falling down Jinx's face, "I was the youngest, and the most clueless, I followed her into Zaun without a thought in the world, " Minx laughed humorlessly at her childhood cluelessness. 

Jinx's face lifted out of Minx's neck and she caught her emerald eyes. "Aww, toots," She gently whiped away her best friends tears. 

"She sold me, for two capsules of shimmer, to these sex trafficers." She watched as Jinx's face contorted in fear slightly shaking her head and pulling away. 

Minx continued, "I was there for a year before they found me. Now, I hardly rememer anything but the feeling, no memories, just feelings."
