Chapter 1

Willow had a body that most women would kill for... A large butt and breasts with a waist that pinches in... Her stomach was flat and toned and she was tight. Yet ironically she didn't want that body... She wanted to look like she saw in the pictures she looked at online... Fleshy, large, with a huge belly.... She didn't want to be able to see her feet easily... She wanted to be able to eat comfortably and get nice belly rubs.... But those were just fantasies she'd built based on reading, art, and chatting with other people who actually did what she imagined doing. Opening the website on her phone, Willow nibbled her lip slightly while going to the chat of the person she spoke to the most. She was probably her best friend beside her twin brother, Willem. They talked about almost anything and everything but they'd never met before... They didn't even really know who eachother were behind the screens but Willow still felt really comfortable talking to her about pretty much anything.

Will'O'withabelt: Hey are you on?

BigBell: Heya! 😉 I’m alright, just got out of the shower. Heading to work soon but I still got time to chat with my bestie on my way there ^^
How’s everything on your end?

Will'O'withabelt: I'm taking the advantage that I've been getting up earliest in the house recently and getting some time to myself before the day starts... No doubt at some point soon I'll have to start up work too.

BigBell: That’s great, at least you get some time to breathe.

A few moments later, BigBell added:

BigBell: Hey, do what you love and love what you do alright? I get we got to pay bills and do things we don’t enjoy but make sure you still have something to pour your passion into. Don’t wanna preach but life’s too short to miss out on.

Willow smiled a little seeing this message and took a few moments before she replied.

Will'O'withabelt: I do love what I do, it's just a little bit complicated.

She wasn't sure how to explain it all without making everything seem too obvious. Would it be obvious? Maybe it would be a little too personal...these sorts of things made a lot of people uncomfortable and what if she caused a bigger problem by bringing it up? Shaking her head to herself, Willow then typed a little more.

Will'O'withabelt: I appreciate the concern a lot. I'm living my best life skinny! ^^

Maybe that was a small lie…things could be better...but she was doing what she loved or at least some of it so she probably shouldn't be complaining...So many people never got to pursue their dreams.

BigBell: Kk, just checkin. Gtg now but I’ll chat ya back later. Go slay em. 😎

Will'O'withabelt: Hey thanks, it means a lot. What would I do without you? You too, queen. 💅

Willow quickly finished up and exited the bathroom, looking around as she saw her brother wasn't in bed, "Willem?" She called out, jumping up as the man popped up behind her, "Relax, it's just your brother... I had to use the other bathroom since a certain someone was taking so long..." Her twin teased with a smile on her face as he saw the blush that dusted Willow's cheeks, "I have an entire routine to handle on my own..." She insisted as she tossed her hair slightly and began to get ready for the day, putting on sports wear to prepare for their dance practice session. Willem only hummed half in disbelief but didn't seem to even bother questioning how it was possible for her to take so long, "It must be a woman thing." He only said and it was mostly for the reaction he knew he'd get. Willow after glaring at him laughed, "Like you don't take forever doing your night routine... You put on like 50 masks and creams before you sleep." Willow said while pulling her tanktop on and exiting the room alongside her brother. Willem frowned slightly but chuckled soon after, "You have a point, I suppose." He admitted with a small smirk, brushing a hand through his pale blond hair as he slinked over to the door of their personal practice room to get it open for her. "My, why thank you. Such a gentleman." She said with a satisfied smile before she moved on over to the center of the floor in front of the mirror wall.

She and her brother looked nice together... they matched just like a set. Slender, model figures, blond hair, pale skin, turquoise blue eyes... Both were tall for their genders and they had quite the stunning features too. It felt almost bad that Willow dreamed of ruining that set they had going on by stuffing herself silly until she looked like a bag of pillows. She must be insane right? Possibly, but there were a lot of other people who liked what she did too and that gave her a level of confidence in this whole thing.
"Let's get practice started. If the old man doesn't see us dancing when he wakes up, he'll throw a tantrum..." Willem said with a roll of his eyes. "Oh how easy it is to wake up comfortably and expect everyone else to be hard at work bright and early." Willow replied with an exaggeratedly heavy sigh that drew a laugh out of her brother who was kneeling by the speakers and plugging his phone up to put on the music to the choreography they'd been working on most recently. "He should try doing all this dancing, he'd probably have a heart attack in no time and then we'd be free." Willem said with a snicker, "Try telling him that yourself." his sister teased as the music then started. She knew that no matter how Willem spoke about their father in private, he was terrified of the man...probably even more so than herself... it was like he was always living under their father and the fear of what he might do. In truth their father was extra hard on Willem since he was a man but he was very sensitive and artsy... It made him a prime target for bullying in that case. Ironically Willow was better at being calm, collected, and cold if she needed to be. It was harder to faze her. The twins stretched then started dancing, their movements perfectly synchronised as they went through the steps almost like dolls. There was elegance, form, beauty, and passion in it that came. Now and then they exchanged looks with each other through the mirror and would smile but both knew better than to begin any sort of playful game in the middle of practice. Because what if their father came?

It felt like the day sort of flew right by after that. Willem and Willow danced and danced even as their father came. They kept practicing on and on and took short breaks only because they had to or they wouldn't be allowed. When night came, they performed at an event the very choreography they'd been practicing, doing it just as perfectly but without any of the passion they'd displayed before when practicing. Their father was watching them and he'd rather their expressions be perfect, still, elegant, and beautiful. Not those of passion, with bright smiles that ruined the entire feel of the song. No that was not them. Outside they were perfection...pride, haughtiness, and venom. They were the untouchable...No one could sit at the same table as them unless they were the top of the top. It was only when they got home and had finally removed their makeup that things gradually wound down a little. Their father went out to get himself even more drinks than he'd had at the party so the twins took the advantage and snuck away to their room to talk and enjoy themselves a little before bed.
"Everyone at that event was so posh... I'm pretty sure they were wearing enough money to feed a village." Willem said as he fell back into their shared bed, his blue silk pyjamas loosely clinging to his figure. "You're talking like you're still poor... We wear some pretty expensive stuff too these days you know..." Willow said in an amused tone as she slipped out of her comfortable slippers and dropped onto the bed next to her brother. She wore pajamas of almost the same design except they were more of a burgundy colour than his. "Now we're rich and 'posh' too..." She added with a small 'refined' laugh that was accompanied by a hand hovering over her mouth. Willem arched a brow at her odd action but laughed a little bit, "I guess you're right... But it feels fake... Like I'm living in a rich person's house and wearing their clothes... even though I know these are our things...these clothes were made for us..." He said as he felt over the fabric of his shirt and looked up at the ceiling thoughtfully. Willow gave a somewhat concerned look, not seeming to share the same opinion, "Why would it feel like that? We worked hard for all of this... You should feel proud. You earned this," she said. A short silence drew on for almost a minute or so before Willem shrugged, "I don't know, maybe exhaustion is just getting to me. I'll turn in for the night..." He said as he got up and went to the bathroom to begin getting ready to sleep. Willow watched her brother until he disappeared from her sight, feeling a bit of worry building up in her stomach. No, he was fine. If something was up, he'd tell her. After consoling herself with those words, Willow pushed it back and got under the sheets to get comfortable as she got her phone out and went to the website to see if her friend had left any messages for her while she was working.

BigBell: Hey, wanna come to a party at my workplace tomorrow? There’ll be lots of great music, food, drinks, and some cool people! It’d be a great way to finally meet IRL like we talk about. The party starts at 8:00 PM, think you can make it?

Willow lit up a little as she read the invitation, looking around for a few moments before she ducked her head back closer into her phone. Would she be able to pull something like that off? Well, the next day was only a practice day. Aside from that their father would be meeting with other people regarding more schedule planning so if anything there was no better chance to sneak out then now.

Will'O'withabelt: Hello, I just finished work a bit ago. That sounds like a great idea! I'd love to come over. What kind of party is it? Formal or casual?

She felt really excited at the idea of finally being able to meet her friend in person. She wondered what kind of person it would be... and how she'd react if she recognised her... would she recognise her? She was overthinking it a little too much. As she waited for a response, the blonde went to her wardrobe and looked through it to see what she might wear for the party... Maybe she should make it something sort of sexy casual? At least her version of casual. Most of her clothing was pretty gaudy though, even her pajamas.

BigBell: It’s super casual, no shame in dressing to impress tho. 😘

Willow checked her messages and then looked at her wardrobe again. She'd just dress how she usually did... There would be no harm in that right? Well... none unless her father found out but she wasn't really worrying about that too much at the moment.

Will'O'withabelt: Okay, I'll be there! Can't wait to finally meet up in person!

BigBell: Same here! You know how I look from my posts so it should be easy to find me. 😉 Tomorrow’s gonna be great! 😆

Will'O'withabelt: Yup! Work is going to feel really long tomorrow, I'll be impatient for it to be over the whole time!

BigBell: IKR?? I could literally explode right now 😩
I wanna chat some more but I know it be smarter to get some sleep so I’ll actually have energy for tomorrow~ 😠 Besides, don’t wanna tire you out right before our first IRL meetup. 🤓
Will'O'withabelt: Ugh, true... I'll see you tomorrow then! I'll try to text you in the morning before work as usual. For now though, I'll head to sleep. Goodnight ❤️

BigBell: Good night! 😴

Willow put her phone to sleep and then laid down all the way, turning the lamp off on her side of the bed as she closed her eyes. In a few minutes she could feel the bed dip a little as Willem got on it and laid down next to her. She smiled slightly, thinking of everything that was happening. What would she do about Willem when she left? Should she invite him over? "Willem?" She began, getting a small moan in response from her already sleepy brother who was no doubt already pretty wiped out from work and probably soothed by his routine. She hesitated and bit her lip. No, she should keep it separate...what if he judged her? She wanted to keep things the way they were right now between them... "Goodnight." She said lightly, closing her eyes. There was a little bit of silence before a small 'goodnight' could be heard from her twin in response.

The next day did indeed rush by as Willow was too excited for later that night. Before she knew it, she was rushing to get ready and sneak out. Her father had left for the meeting and her brother was currently showering. She felt a little bad disappearing on him just like that so she wrote a quick small note that read: 'Meeting with a friend. I'll be back later. Love you'. After that she headed out to the address she'd been sent earlier that day, ordering a car through her phone. When she arrived, she soon recognised the place by the picture she had from the web and went inside, looking around while holding her purse in her hand. She was there at about 8:15PM so there were some people already there. Nonetheless she was doing pretty good at turning heads with her outfit and her overall appearance. A woman that matched the appearance of the one on BigBell’s posts could be found by sipping a beer while conversing with some people—likely colleagues. From the brown curly locks, the animated chocolate-colored eyes, the large pouty lips, to the uncommonly rotund figure in excess of 600 lbs, there was no mistaking her. Willow lit up pretty quickly and made her way through the small crowd over to the brunette, a smile forming on her lips, "Hello? You're BigBell?" She said with a somewhat contained tone though the smile that showed her teeth slightly gave her excitement away, "I was able to make it to the party." She said as she pushed some hair behind her ear. She'd known what the other woman looked like from her pictures however it felt completely different seeing her in person. She felt a little in awe actually being able to meet someone this size who was a gainer in person. The young woman turned to face Willow and smiled as she said, “Y-yes, that’s me! Please, call me Toni!” She offered Willow a handshake and asked in a whisper, “Can you tell me your username? Just so I know it’s you and not some crazy stalker fan!”
A slight blush dusted Willow's face, "O-Oh right! It's Will'O'withabelt!" She said, feeling her face heat up further as she said her username aloud. It made her feel quite shy saying it so openly the way she did. Toni laughed heartily in response to Willow’s demeanor, clutching her belly as it jiggled around like a bowl of jelly. “I knew it was you, call it a gut instinct if you will, heheh!” Seeing Willow’s remaining insecurities, Toni attempted to assure her by saying, “Relax! No one else could have heard you past Led Zeppelin playing so loudly! Besides, what’ve you got to be ashamed about?” Tipping her glass up, Toni slurped down the last of her beer before setting it aside on the counter. She returned her attention to Willow and said, “I’m gonna get another drink, what would you like?” Willow rubbed the back of her neck, "Well—I'm not exactly all that open about my whole...thing." She explained while biting her lip, though the words did help ease her as she then looked around, "Hm, do you have any suggestions?" She asked as she looked around a little. So this was a rock themed restaurant? It was pretty cool... It looked lively and interesting... almost like a breath of fresh air compared to the places the blonde usually performed at.
“I gotcha,” Toni said with a wink before suggesting she try a cocktail. Describing it made Toni crave it so much she wanted one of her own now. “…so yeah, those cocktails are pretty good. Oh, and to answer your other question: yes, this is a rock themed restaurant. It’s got loads of memorabilia, an awesome playlist of classics and trending hits alike, and occasionally some special performances! I’m proud to say I work here,” Toni said with her arms arched confidently on her sides. "Alright, a cocktail it will be then!" Willow said with a smile as she nodded. It was like Toni had read her mind; was she that obvious with how she looked around at everything curiously? "I don't think I've ever seen one before... It's quite a nice concept." She mused as she took in the decor with a level of interest. Her brother had always been more into rock but she had a level of appreciation for it. Especially its style. She'd mostly experienced it through her brother whenever he brought it into their fashion and she often liked what he did...she blinked a little as she found she'd gotten lost thinking about her twin. "It's really nice to finally be able to see you in person." She expressed as she made herself more comfortable. “It sure is, I’m real glad you could make it!” Toni said before turning to the bartender and asking for two cocktails. The drinks arrived shortly after, Toni passed one glass to Willow before raising her own and boisterously exclaiming, “Let’s make this a night you’ll never forget!” Willow received her glass as it was handed and offered a smile, nodding enthusiastically in agreement with what was said as she raised her drink up into the air a little mimicking the other woman's actions, "It's special already, I'm sure it can only get better from here!" She said, proceeding to take a nice swig of the refreshment. She usually wasn't one for drinking, but now and then it could be nice.

Toni and Willow partied hard for hours, though they’d only just met in person for the first time, it seemed as if they’d known each other their entire lives. The two women spoke about all sorts of things over the course of the night and Toni even told Willow a little more about herself and how she fell in love with rock music. She recalled the times she’d sing along with her father as he drove to tunes from his favorite bands. After her father gave her a CD for her birthday once, she started to collect dozens of them. Toni added that rock music inspired her and helped her through a lot of rough patches in her life, citing its massive impact on her life. After eating their fill, the two got up and danced to some rock and roll songs for a while before working up an appetite and going back to eat some more. Toni was impressed with how fluidly Willowed moved, commanding the floor with grace. Toni wasn’t the only one who noticed, there were plenty of people who had gathered round Willow to admire her dance. Once Toni got them to give Willow some breathing room, the two ate and drank some more as they continued to chit chat. A little while later, some time opened up for karaoke. Toni was one of the first to sign up and sang “Like A Stone” with too much gusto for anyone to disapprove. She also dragged Willow on stage once to sing “Venus” with her.

After grazing on a few more snacks and conversing as the party slowly died out, Toni got up and exited with Willow. Toni tilted her head up and took in a deep breath as a cool breeze blew by. Her stomach had visibly distended several inches since the party started, it was no wonder why; Toni could eat an unbelievable amount of food with ease, it was hard not to stare in awe. Toni let out a deep sigh and said, “What a blast! We should hang out again sometime!” Willow was pretty bloated from a mixture of the alcohol and the food she'd eaten but she was feeling rather full. Putting a hand over her mouth to stifle a burp from leaving her throat loudly. She blushed slightly and sighed, "So full..." And it felt so nice being full of something that wasn't just water... She nodded, "Mm, I'd love to do this again. It's fun.." She said as she smiled. Her dress was fitting a little differently now, but deep down she kind of liked how it stretched to try and keep up with her rounded belly even if it wasn't that big. “Feel free to send me a chat with some suggestions later, ‘kay?” Toni walked a little further with Willow before sitting down on a bench by the bus stop. Her thunder thighs spread and her overstuffed belly rested on her lap, taking up so much of the bench only served to accentuate her size, a fact she seemed to enjoy a little. “Well, this is my stop, you have a way back to your place?”
"I definitely will!" Willow said enthusiastically, nodding and retrieving her phone as she sat on the bend next to the heavier woman, "Oh, I'm going to call a driver to take me home." She informed her friend with a small reassuring nod, pulling up the app calmly and making sure to put how she needed a driver. “Clever girl,” Toni nodded in approval and gave Willow a thumbs up.
Soon after, the bus arrived and Toni got up (after a great deal of struggling and hurdling herself around). “Well,” Toni said between strained breaths, “It was real great meeting you Willow, I’ll see you soon!” Toni pulled Willow into a hug, engulfing the vastly smaller woman in her great expanse for a few seconds before letting go and stepping into the bus, her hips brushing against the door before giving way and allowing her to squeeze in. The bus shook a bit as it adjusted to receiving a passenger of her heft. Toni turned around to look out the window and wave goodbye to Willow as it drove away. Willow hadn't been used to nor prepared for the affectionate action. She hugged back rather late and offered a small smile, liking how it had felt to be able to receive a hug even if she couldn't help but think about how big the other woman was, "I look forward to it! As always I'll keep in touch!" She said as she watched the bus bounce slightly to adjust for her weight, standing there until the vehicle had driven off and out of sight. Afterwards she sighed and sat down, waiting for her car to arrive. Once it did, she was driven home where luckily her father didn't seem to be home yet. When she got to her room her brother was already there sleeping so she washed up then slipped in next to him with a small smile. Tonight had been good... She enjoyed it a lot... Hopefully she'd be able to do things like these again soon with Toni.

The next morning when she woke she noticed that her body wasn't as tight as it had been before and she was generally a bit fluffier. It actually excited her to a level at first but she also felt slightly worried about if her father would notice. Willem was also a little more quiet as he greeted her a lot more briefly while getting ready, something that concerned her as she wondered if he was upset with her for going out without him, "You're not upset are you?" She asked as she was stretching. Willem looked at her and smiled very slightly, "No, I'm not angry. I'm just tired still. Sorry I gave you the wrong impression, sister." He said. Willow felt a little relieved although still worried, she knew that everything could get exhausting with their father pushing them to always work their hardest no matter if they weren't feeling well or not. If only there was a way to help her brother feel a little better, "Say, how about we go to the spa or something after work?" she offered, her brother looking over at her as he heard her suggestion, "...It'll be a nice relaxing outing between the two of us," she said. He seemed to like the idea as he nodded after a few moments of thought, "I like the idea, let's do it." He agreed. Their practice ended up unfortunately cut short however when the father bursted into the room seemingly in good spirits, "Willem, you have a modelling gig later. I told them you couldn't come early due to performances so you'll be heading there after work and a shower." Willem visibly deflated as he heard this, "Only me?" He questioned as he went to the speaker to put their music on once the conversation ended, "They only want you. They won't have your sister because you capture what they're looking for. This is a big step in your career so you better be grateful I got it for you!" The older man said gruffly. Willem looked down with his hands squeezed into tight fists. He didn't want to do it but he was too scared to say that... It wouldn't matter anyway, "I understand, father." He instead replied as he put the music on and rushed over to where Willow was so they could begin dancing.
They went through their schedule, both a little put out that their plans had been stepped on by their father but that's what it was usually like for them... They didn't end up going out leisurely most of the time for these reasons... When she was in her performance outfit, it fit tighter than usual but luckily no one seemed to notice too much or at least didn't comment on it. Once Willow had gotten off of work and her brother had left for the modelling he needed to do, she sat on the couch drinking a cup of juice that she'd poured herself. She pulled her phone out to check her messages, seeing if Toni had texted her any while she was at work.

BigBell: Heya! Have any plans for later? Was thinking we could hang out!

Willow smiled as she read the message, gulping down the rest of her juice before she replied.

Will'O'withabelt: That sounds great! Where should we go?

A month went by and Willow continued to hang out with Toni extremely often, growing quite close to her companion. That wasn’t the only thing that had grown however, Willow had also gained quite a bit of weight during that time too. Having been right to begin with, her outfits no longer fit her well at all, often tearing with buttons and zippers coming off if she moved too much. It was a scary thing considering how her father noticed after a while and now often talked about it, attempting to force her on diets since she was “ballooning out of control”. Willow’s once svelte figure had now filled out into a buxom—mildly chubby even—frame. While it was true that her breasts had grown the most out of anything, the rest of her body had filled out with several fresh inches of fat, and what photographers had initially dismissed as “thicc” was now “unacceptable”. Willow’s midsection could no longer hide either, now forming a small heap of soft, jiggly pudge that resembled a mother in the early stages of pregnancy. Because of it, she hadn't gotten any new modelling gigs and increasingly more photoshoots required only her brother. It was a bit frustrating and she grew torn between dieting to lose it while she could and just continuing to gain weight now that she'd started already. She voiced a lot of her concerns to Toni in a vague sort of fashion because she felt safe being able to do so since they met somewhere where she was exploring the more hidden sides of herself. She was a bit scared of what her brother thought on the whole thing and with a mixture of that and her outings their relationship together had begun to show a bit of a strain. He often insisted it was fine she went out places without him but was more bothered by how she seemed to not trust or feel safe around him. She never gave him a proper explanation on why so he was left to guess the reasons and they didn't seem to be good. Her father began to pick on her more and feed her less as he tried to force her to lose weight so he could continue making more money with her through photoshoots and such. She felt like her life had become messy because of her gaining weight and was beginning to feel a level of regret about not keeping it to just her closeted online interests.

Willow was currently on the couch in the living room of her house laying down as she texted Toni. Her brother had been pulled away into yet another modelling gig this time for a commercial on some sort of perfume or something of the like. She was pretty down and she'd shared about it with her friend, hoping for some comfort and advice on what to do.

BigBell: I’m telling you, this circle you’re in right now isn’t healthy and I don’t think what your body looks like will solve it. Gain or lose weight, that’s up to you. Not me, not them, not anyone else. If these people REALLY love you, that shouldn’t be the most important thing to them anyway. Whatever you do, you’ve got my support, but I think to be yourself is all that you can do.

Willow read over the message several times and thought pretty hard on how to respond so it took her a little while.

Will'O'withabelt: It's my life though... I don't have anywhere else to go and I don't have too much money to myself. I'd have to get my brother to agree and I'm scared that if we leave he'll come back to get us. Maybe it's a bit unrealistic... I want to gain weight and continue to dance too. I want to be able to do everything while being fat as well. If that's possible that's what I want.

BigBell: Girl, you could crash at my place as long as you like! Your brother too! It’s not a palace but we could make it work. If you want to get out, talk to your brother. The two of you have no reason to live the rest of your lives as slaves. I can hardly live just knowing it! 😡 As far as your dreams go, you can have them all, just know where your limits are and work with them. 😉
Don’t ever give up and DEFINITELY don’t let anyone tell you how to live your life. 💪🏻

Willow read over the message and was encouraged enough to feel motivated to try. Toni was offering them a way out and if they didn't leave now, it felt like they might never get the chance again. She just needed to talk to Willem, about a lot.

Will'O'withabelt: You mean it??? Thank you! Thank you so much! I need to pack so that I can convince my brother when he gets home. Wish me luck! Is it alright if I can try to get us to come by later tonight? I owe you big time for this!

BigBell: NP buddy, Mission accepted. I’ll get my place ready. 😎

Willow sent a quick "Thanks! I'll keep you updated!" before she went to the room she shared with Willem and began to hurriedly pack their belongings into two separate bags. Most of what they had were clothing so once she got past all of that she just had to put a few belongings away. It nonetheless took her a few hours and Willem arrived home only a few minutes after she had finished. She was nervous as she could hear the father was ranting and insulting how her brother had done during the modelling. She waited in the room and hid the bags a little, going to do some last double checks around to make sure she wasn't forgetting anything. When Willem entered the room it was about an hour later and he had a bruise forming on his cheekbone, probably not the only one he had. She saw him and gave a frown as she came closer, "Willem... Are you alright?" She asked as she carefully looked at the mark. Willem sighed softly and nodded very slightly, "I'm fine as can be." He answered. "Willem, this is too much... I want to run away. Let's move out. My friend says we can go and live with her and I packed our things while you were out so that we can take them and leave as soon as father falls asleep!" She said in a hushed tone, holding her twin's shoulders as she spoke. Her brother was a great deal caught off guard by hearing this and so he looked around and surely enough their room was quite empty, "Your friend? The one you've been hanging out with? What if father catches us? He'll beat us for sure..." The young man said rather uneasily. Willow nodded to the first two questions then worried her brow, "Then he won't catch us. Not in time. By the time he wakes up we'll be gone. Besides, we'll never be free if we don't at least try..." She said, meeting his turquoise eyes with her own of the same colour as a short silence stretched on between them meanwhile Willem thought. Finally, he spoke, "Okay, fine. Let's try it." He agreed with a nod, fear still evident in his eyes but he trusted his sister knew enough on what to do in all this. Together they got their bags and waited, watching the clock and listening to their father going about drinking and watching TV in the living room. Willow would now and then go to the kitchen to get some water, receiving some off-handed comments about her weight while she was at it. "Going to stuff yourself with more food, you pig?" "Haven't you eaten enough?" He said things like this. Eventually, he dozed off and left the television on so the twins waited to make sure he'd stay asleep before they made their escape. Willow texted Toni letting her know that they had made it out of the house and then ordered a car for the both of them to get to Toni's place. Luckily a driver did pick up despite the late hour and they were able to get there. Upon arrival, Willow sent a message to Toni to let her know that they were outside then looked around at the neighbourhood a little. It reminded her of when they were growing up... They didn't live in luxury... It was like this... She then looked to her brother who was still very uneasy but holding a rather straight face as he too took in the houses and such with slightly narrowed eyes and a furrowed brow. She rubbed his shoulder slightly and offered a smile, "When we get inside, I'll try and explain a bit more about what's been going on with me recently... I owe you that much..." She said softly, receiving a nod in response from her twin. It made her feel pretty good. She was turning things around! Heavy footsteps could be heard as Toni made her way to the door before shifting the lock off and slowly creaking the door open with a welcoming smile. She was wearing a t-shirt large enough to be loose as well as a pair of small shorts. Her expression changed to that of surprise and confusion when she said, “Willem?”

Chapter 1

Willow had a body that most women would kill for... A large butt and breasts with a waist that pinches in... Her stomach was flat and toned and she was tight. Yet ironically she didn't want that body... She wanted to look like she saw in the pictures she looked at online... Fleshy, large, with a huge belly.... She didn't want to be able to see her feet easily... She wanted to be able to eat comfortably and get nice belly rubs.... But those were just fantasies she'd built based on reading, art, and chatting with other people who actually did what she imagined doing. Opening the website on her phone, Willow nibbled her lip slightly while going to the chat of the person she spoke to the most. She was probably her best friend beside her twin brother, Willem. They talked about almost anything and everything but they'd never met before... They didn't even really know who eachother were behind the screens but Willow still felt really comfortable talking to her about pretty much anything.

Will'O'withabelt: Hey are you on?

BigBell: Heya! 😉 I’m alright, just got out of the shower. Heading to work soon but I still got time to chat with my bestie on my way there ^^
How’s everything on your end?

Will'O'withabelt: I'm taking the advantage that I've been getting up earliest in the house recently and getting some time to myself before the day starts... No doubt at some point soon I'll have to start up work too.

BigBell: That’s great, at least you get some time to breathe.

A few moments later, BigBell added:

BigBell: Hey, do what you love and love what you do alright? I get we got to pay bills and do things we don’t enjoy but make sure you still have something to pour your passion into. Don’t wanna preach but life’s too short to miss out on.

Willow smiled a little seeing this message and took a few moments before she replied.

Will'O'withabelt: I do love what I do, it's just a little bit complicated.

She wasn't sure how to explain it all without making everything seem too obvious. Would it be obvious? Maybe it would be a little too personal...these sorts of things made a lot of people uncomfortable and what if she caused a bigger problem by bringing it up? Shaking her head to herself, Willow then typed a little more.

Will'O'withabelt: I appreciate the concern a lot. I'm living my best life skinny! ^^

Maybe that was a small lie…things could be better...but she was doing what she loved or at least some of it so she probably shouldn't be complaining...So many people never got to pursue their dreams.

BigBell: Kk, just checkin. Gtg now but I’ll chat ya back later. Go slay em. 😎

Will'O'withabelt: Hey thanks, it means a lot. What would I do without you? You too, queen. 💅

Willow quickly finished up and exited the bathroom, looking around as she saw her brother wasn't in bed, "Willem?" She called out, jumping up as the man popped up behind her, "Relax, it's just your brother... I had to use the other bathroom since a certain someone was taking so long..." Her twin teased with a smile on her face as he saw the blush that dusted Willow's cheeks, "I have an entire routine to handle on my own..." She insisted as she tossed her hair slightly and began to get ready for the day, putting on sports wear to prepare for their dance practice session. Willem only hummed half in disbelief but didn't seem to even bother questioning how it was possible for her to take so long, "It must be a woman thing." He only said and it was mostly for the reaction he knew he'd get. Willow after glaring at him laughed, "Like you don't take forever doing your night routine... You put on like 50 masks and creams before you sleep." Willow said while pulling her tanktop on and exiting the room alongside her brother. Willem frowned slightly but chuckled soon after, "You have a point, I suppose." He admitted with a small smirk, brushing a hand through his pale blond hair as he slinked over to the door of their personal practice room to get it open for her. "My, why thank you. Such a gentleman." She said with a satisfied smile before she moved on over to the center of the floor in front of the mirror wall.

She and her brother looked nice together... they matched just like a set. Slender, model figures, blond hair, pale skin, turquoise blue eyes... Both were tall for their genders and they had quite the stunning features too. It felt almost bad that Willow dreamed of ruining that set they had going on by stuffing herself silly until she looked like a bag of pillows. She must be insane right? Possibly, but there were a lot of other people who liked what she did too and that gave her a level of confidence in this whole thing.
"Let's get practice started. If the old man doesn't see us dancing when he wakes up, he'll throw a tantrum..." Willem said with a roll of his eyes. "Oh how easy it is to wake up comfortably and expect everyone else to be hard at work bright and early." Willow replied with an exaggeratedly heavy sigh that drew a laugh out of her brother who was kneeling by the speakers and plugging his phone up to put on the music to the choreography they'd been working on most recently. "He should try doing all this dancing, he'd probably have a heart attack in no time and then we'd be free." Willem said with a snicker, "Try telling him that yourself." his sister teased as the music then started. She knew that no matter how Willem spoke about their father in private, he was terrified of the man...probably even more so than herself... it was like he was always living under their father and the fear of what he might do. In truth their father was extra hard on Willem since he was a man but he was very sensitive and artsy... It made him a prime target for bullying in that case. Ironically Willow was better at being calm, collected, and cold if she needed to be. It was harder to faze her. The twins stretched then started dancing, their movements perfectly synchronised as they went through the steps almost like dolls. There was elegance, form, beauty, and passion in it that came. Now and then they exchanged looks with each other through the mirror and would smile but both knew better than to begin any sort of playful game in the middle of practice. Because what if their father came?

It felt like the day sort of flew right by after that. Willem and Willow danced and danced even as their father came. They kept practicing on and on and took short breaks only because they had to or they wouldn't be allowed. When night came, they performed at an event the very choreography they'd been practicing, doing it just as perfectly but without any of the passion they'd displayed before when practicing. Their father was watching them and he'd rather their expressions be perfect, still, elegant, and beautiful. Not those of passion, with bright smiles that ruined the entire feel of the song. No that was not them. Outside they were perfection...pride, haughtiness, and venom. They were the untouchable...No one could sit at the same table as them unless they were the top of the top. It was only when they got home and had finally removed their makeup that things gradually wound down a little. Their father went out to get himself even more drinks than he'd had at the party so the twins took the advantage and snuck away to their room to talk and enjoy themselves a little before bed.
"Everyone at that event was so posh... I'm pretty sure they were wearing enough money to feed a village." Willem said as he fell back into their shared bed, his blue silk pyjamas loosely clinging to his figure. "You're talking like you're still poor... We wear some pretty expensive stuff too these days you know..." Willow said in an amused tone as she slipped out of her comfortable slippers and dropped onto the bed next to her brother. She wore pajamas of almost the same design except they were more of a burgundy colour than his. "Now we're rich and 'posh' too..." She added with a small 'refined' laugh that was accompanied by a hand hovering over her mouth. Willem arched a brow at her odd action but laughed a little bit, "I guess you're right... But it feels fake... Like I'm living in a rich person's house and wearing their clothes... even though I know these are our things...these clothes were made for us..." He said as he felt over the fabric of his shirt and looked up at the ceiling thoughtfully. Willow gave a somewhat concerned look, not seeming to share the same opinion, "Why would it feel like that? We worked hard for all of this... You should feel proud. You earned this," she said. A short silence drew on for almost a minute or so before Willem shrugged, "I don't know, maybe exhaustion is just getting to me. I'll turn in for the night..." He said as he got up and went to the bathroom to begin getting ready to sleep. Willow watched her brother until he disappeared from her sight, feeling a bit of worry building up in her stomach. No, he was fine. If something was up, he'd tell her. After consoling herself with those words, Willow pushed it back and got under the sheets to get comfortable as she got her phone out and went to the website to see if her friend had left any messages for her while she was working.

BigBell: Hey, wanna come to a party at my workplace tomorrow? There’ll be lots of great music, food, drinks, and some cool people! It’d be a great way to finally meet IRL like we talk about. The party starts at 8:00 PM, think you can make it?

Willow lit up a little as she read the invitation, looking around for a few moments before she ducked her head back closer into her phone. Would she be able to pull something like that off? Well, the next day was only a practice day. Aside from that their father would be meeting with other people regarding more schedule planning so if anything there was no better chance to sneak out then now.

Will'O'withabelt: Hello, I just finished work a bit ago. That sounds like a great idea! I'd love to come over. What kind of party is it? Formal or casual?

She felt really excited at the idea of finally being able to meet her friend in person. She wondered what kind of person it would be... and how she'd react if she recognised her... would she recognise her? She was overthinking it a little too much. As she waited for a response, the blonde went to her wardrobe and looked through it to see what she might wear for the party... Maybe she should make it something sort of sexy casual? At least her version of casual. Most of her clothing was pretty gaudy though, even her pajamas.

BigBell: It’s super casual, no shame in dressing to impress tho. 😘

Willow checked her messages and then looked at her wardrobe again. She'd just dress how she usually did... There would be no harm in that right? Well... none unless her father found out but she wasn't really worrying about that too much at the moment.

Will'O'withabelt: Okay, I'll be there! Can't wait to finally meet up in person!

BigBell: Same here! You know how I look from my posts so it should be easy to find me. 😉 Tomorrow’s gonna be great! 😆

Will'O'withabelt: Yup! Work is going to feel really long tomorrow, I'll be impatient for it to be over the whole time!

BigBell: IKR?? I could literally explode right now 😩
I wanna chat some more but I know it be smarter to get some sleep so I’ll actually have energy for tomorrow~ 😠 Besides, don’t wanna tire you out right before our first IRL meetup. 🤓
Will'O'withabelt: Ugh, true... I'll see you tomorrow then! I'll try to text you in the morning before work as usual. For now though, I'll head to sleep. Goodnight ❤️

BigBell: Good night! 😴

Willow put her phone to sleep and then laid down all the way, turning the lamp off on her side of the bed as she closed her eyes. In a few minutes she could feel the bed dip a little as Willem got on it and laid down next to her. She smiled slightly, thinking of everything that was happening. What would she do about Willem when she left? Should she invite him over? "Willem?" She began, getting a small moan in response from her already sleepy brother who was no doubt already pretty wiped out from work and probably soothed by his routine. She hesitated and bit her lip. No, she should keep it separate...what if he judged her? She wanted to keep things the way they were right now between them... "Goodnight." She said lightly, closing her eyes. There was a little bit of silence before a small 'goodnight' could be heard from her twin in response.

The next day did indeed rush by as Willow was too excited for later that night. Before she knew it, she was rushing to get ready and sneak out. Her father had left for the meeting and her brother was currently showering. She felt a little bad disappearing on him just like that so she wrote a quick small note that read: 'Meeting with a friend. I'll be back later. Love you'. After that she headed out to the address she'd been sent earlier that day, ordering a car through her phone. When she arrived, she soon recognised the place by the picture she had from the web and went inside, looking around while holding her purse in her hand. She was there at about 8:15PM so there were some people already there. Nonetheless she was doing pretty good at turning heads with her outfit and her overall appearance. A woman that matched the appearance of the one on BigBell’s posts could be found by sipping a beer while conversing with some people—likely colleagues. From the brown curly locks, the animated chocolate-colored eyes, the large pouty lips, to the uncommonly rotund figure in excess of 600 lbs, there was no mistaking her. Willow lit up pretty quickly and made her way through the small crowd over to the brunette, a smile forming on her lips, "Hello? You're BigBell?" She said with a somewhat contained tone though the smile that showed her teeth slightly gave her excitement away, "I was able to make it to the party." She said as she pushed some hair behind her ear. She'd known what the other woman looked like from her pictures however it felt completely different seeing her in person. She felt a little in awe actually being able to meet someone this size who was a gainer in person. The young woman turned to face Willow and smiled as she said, “Y-yes, that’s me! Please, call me Toni!” She offered Willow a handshake and asked in a whisper, “Can you tell me your username? Just so I know it’s you and not some crazy stalker fan!”
A slight blush dusted Willow's face, "O-Oh right! It's Will'O'withabelt!" She said, feeling her face heat up further as she said her username aloud. It made her feel quite shy saying it so openly the way she did. Toni laughed heartily in response to Willow’s demeanor, clutching her belly as it jiggled around like a bowl of jelly. “I knew it was you, call it a gut instinct if you will, heheh!” Seeing Willow’s remaining insecurities, Toni attempted to assure her by saying, “Relax! No one else could have heard you past Led Zeppelin playing so loudly! Besides, what’ve you got to be ashamed about?” Tipping her glass up, Toni slurped down the last of her beer before setting it aside on the counter. She returned her attention to Willow and said, “I’m gonna get another drink, what would you like?” Willow rubbed the back of her neck, "Well—I'm not exactly all that open about my whole...thing." She explained while biting her lip, though the words did help ease her as she then looked around, "Hm, do you have any suggestions?" She asked as she looked around a little. So this was a rock themed restaurant? It was pretty cool... It looked lively and interesting... almost like a breath of fresh air compared to the places the blonde usually performed at.
“I gotcha,” Toni said with a wink before suggesting she try a cocktail. Describing it made Toni crave it so much she wanted one of her own now. “…so yeah, those cocktails are pretty good. Oh, and to answer your other question: yes, this is a rock themed restaurant. It’s got loads of memorabilia, an awesome playlist of classics and trending hits alike, and occasionally some special performances! I’m proud to say I work here,” Toni said with her arms arched confidently on her sides. "Alright, a cocktail it will be then!" Willow said with a smile as she nodded. It was like Toni had read her mind; was she that obvious with how she looked around at everything curiously? "I don't think I've ever seen one before... It's quite a nice concept." She mused as she took in the decor with a level of interest. Her brother had always been more into rock but she had a level of appreciation for it. Especially its style. She'd mostly experienced it through her brother whenever he brought it into their fashion and she often liked what he did...she blinked a little as she found she'd gotten lost thinking about her twin. "It's really nice to finally be able to see you in person." She expressed as she made herself more comfortable. “It sure is, I’m real glad you could make it!” Toni said before turning to the bartender and asking for two cocktails. The drinks arrived shortly after, Toni passed one glass to Willow before raising her own and boisterously exclaiming, “Let’s make this a night you’ll never forget!” Willow received her glass as it was handed and offered a smile, nodding enthusiastically in agreement with what was said as she raised her drink up into the air a little mimicking the other woman's actions, "It's special already, I'm sure it can only get better from here!" She said, proceeding to take a nice swig of the refreshment. She usually wasn't one for drinking, but now and then it could be nice.

Toni and Willow partied hard for hours, though they’d only just met in person for the first time, it seemed as if they’d known each other their entire lives. The two women spoke about all sorts of things over the course of the night and Toni even told Willow a little more about herself and how she fell in love with rock music. She recalled the times she’d sing along with her father as he drove to tunes from his favorite bands. After her father gave her a CD for her birthday once, she started to collect dozens of them. Toni added that rock music inspired her and helped her through a lot of rough patches in her life, citing its massive impact on her life. After eating their fill, the two got up and danced to some rock and roll songs for a while before working up an appetite and going back to eat some more. Toni was impressed with how fluidly Willowed moved, commanding the floor with grace. Toni wasn’t the only one who noticed, there were plenty of people who had gathered round Willow to admire her dance. Once Toni got them to give Willow some breathing room, the two ate and drank some more as they continued to chit chat. A little while later, some time opened up for karaoke. Toni was one of the first to sign up and sang “Like A Stone” with too much gusto for anyone to disapprove. She also dragged Willow on stage once to sing “Venus” with her.

After grazing on a few more snacks and conversing as the party slowly died out, Toni got up and exited with Willow. Toni tilted her head up and took in a deep breath as a cool breeze blew by. Her stomach had visibly distended several inches since the party started, it was no wonder why; Toni could eat an unbelievable amount of food with ease, it was hard not to stare in awe. Toni let out a deep sigh and said, “What a blast! We should hang out again sometime!” Willow was pretty bloated from a mixture of the alcohol and the food she'd eaten but she was feeling rather full. Putting a hand over her mouth to stifle a burp from leaving her throat loudly. She blushed slightly and sighed, "So full..." And it felt so nice being full of something that wasn't just water... She nodded, "Mm, I'd love to do this again. It's fun.." She said as she smiled. Her dress was fitting a little differently now, but deep down she kind of liked how it stretched to try and keep up with her rounded belly even if it wasn't that big. “Feel free to send me a chat with some suggestions later, ‘kay?” Toni walked a little further with Willow before sitting down on a bench by the bus stop. Her thunder thighs spread and her overstuffed belly rested on her lap, taking up so much of the bench only served to accentuate her size, a fact she seemed to enjoy a little. “Well, this is my stop, you have a way back to your place?”
"I definitely will!" Willow said enthusiastically, nodding and retrieving her phone as she sat on the bend next to the heavier woman, "Oh, I'm going to call a driver to take me home." She informed her friend with a small reassuring nod, pulling up the app calmly and making sure to put how she needed a driver. “Clever girl,” Toni nodded in approval and gave Willow a thumbs up.
Soon after, the bus arrived and Toni got up (after a great deal of struggling and hurdling herself around). “Well,” Toni said between strained breaths, “It was real great meeting you Willow, I’ll see you soon!” Toni pulled Willow into a hug, engulfing the vastly smaller woman in her great expanse for a few seconds before letting go and stepping into the bus, her hips brushing against the door before giving way and allowing her to squeeze in. The bus shook a bit as it adjusted to receiving a passenger of her heft. Toni turned around to look out the window and wave goodbye to Willow as it drove away. Willow hadn't been used to nor prepared for the affectionate action. She hugged back rather late and offered a small smile, liking how it had felt to be able to receive a hug even if she couldn't help but think about how big the other woman was, "I look forward to it! As always I'll keep in touch!" She said as she watched the bus bounce slightly to adjust for her weight, standing there until the vehicle had driven off and out of sight. Afterwards she sighed and sat down, waiting for her car to arrive. Once it did, she was driven home where luckily her father didn't seem to be home yet. When she got to her room her brother was already there sleeping so she washed up then slipped in next to him with a small smile. Tonight had been good... She enjoyed it a lot... Hopefully she'd be able to do things like these again soon with Toni.

The next morning when she woke she noticed that her body wasn't as tight as it had been before and she was generally a bit fluffier. It actually excited her to a level at first but she also felt slightly worried about if her father would notice. Willem was also a little more quiet as he greeted her a lot more briefly while getting ready, something that concerned her as she wondered if he was upset with her for going out without him, "You're not upset are you?" She asked as she was stretching. Willem looked at her and smiled very slightly, "No, I'm not angry. I'm just tired still. Sorry I gave you the wrong impression, sister." He said. Willow felt a little relieved although still worried, she knew that everything could get exhausting with their father pushing them to always work their hardest no matter if they weren't feeling well or not. If only there was a way to help her brother feel a little better, "Say, how about we go to the spa or something after work?" she offered, her brother looking over at her as he heard her suggestion, "...It'll be a nice relaxing outing between the two of us," she said. He seemed to like the idea as he nodded after a few moments of thought, "I like the idea, let's do it." He agreed. Their practice ended up unfortunately cut short however when the father bursted into the room seemingly in good spirits, "Willem, you have a modelling gig later. I told them you couldn't come early due to performances so you'll be heading there after work and a shower." Willem visibly deflated as he heard this, "Only me?" He questioned as he went to the speaker to put their music on once the conversation ended, "They only want you. They won't have your sister because you capture what they're looking for. This is a big step in your career so you better be grateful I got it for you!" The older man said gruffly. Willem looked down with his hands squeezed into tight fists. He didn't want to do it but he was too scared to say that... It wouldn't matter anyway, "I understand, father." He instead replied as he put the music on and rushed over to where Willow was so they could begin dancing.
They went through their schedule, both a little put out that their plans had been stepped on by their father but that's what it was usually like for them... They didn't end up going out leisurely most of the time for these reasons... When she was in her performance outfit, it fit tighter than usual but luckily no one seemed to notice too much or at least didn't comment on it. Once Willow had gotten off of work and her brother had left for the modelling he needed to do, she sat on the couch drinking a cup of juice that she'd poured herself. She pulled her phone out to check her messages, seeing if Toni had texted her any while she was at work.

BigBell: Heya! Have any plans for later? Was thinking we could hang out!

Willow smiled as she read the message, gulping down the rest of her juice before she replied.

Will'O'withabelt: That sounds great! Where should we go?

A month went by and Willow continued to hang out with Toni extremely often, growing quite close to her companion. That wasn’t the only thing that had grown however, Willow had also gained quite a bit of weight during that time too. Having been right to begin with, her outfits no longer fit her well at all, often tearing with buttons and zippers coming off if she moved too much. It was a scary thing considering how her father noticed after a while and now often talked about it, attempting to force her on diets since she was “ballooning out of control”. Willow’s once svelte figure had now filled out into a buxom—mildly chubby even—frame. While it was true that her breasts had grown the most out of anything, the rest of her body had filled out with several fresh inches of fat, and what photographers had initially dismissed as “thicc” was now “unacceptable”. Willow’s midsection could no longer hide either, now forming a small heap of soft, jiggly pudge that resembled a mother in the early stages of pregnancy. Because of it, she hadn't gotten any new modelling gigs and increasingly more photoshoots required only her brother. It was a bit frustrating and she grew torn between dieting to lose it while she could and just continuing to gain weight now that she'd started already. She voiced a lot of her concerns to Toni in a vague sort of fashion because she felt safe being able to do so since they met somewhere where she was exploring the more hidden sides of herself. She was a bit scared of what her brother thought on the whole thing and with a mixture of that and her outings their relationship together had begun to show a bit of a strain. He often insisted it was fine she went out places without him but was more bothered by how she seemed to not trust or feel safe around him. She never gave him a proper explanation on why so he was left to guess the reasons and they didn't seem to be good. Her father began to pick on her more and feed her less as he tried to force her to lose weight so he could continue making more money with her through photoshoots and such. She felt like her life had become messy because of her gaining weight and was beginning to feel a level of regret about not keeping it to just her closeted online interests.

Willow was currently on the couch in the living room of her house laying down as she texted Toni. Her brother had been pulled away into yet another modelling gig this time for a commercial on some sort of perfume or something of the like. She was pretty down and she'd shared about it with her friend, hoping for some comfort and advice on what to do.

BigBell: I’m telling you, this circle you’re in right now isn’t healthy and I don’t think what your body looks like will solve it. Gain or lose weight, that’s up to you. Not me, not them, not anyone else. If these people REALLY love you, that shouldn’t be the most important thing to them anyway. Whatever you do, you’ve got my support, but I think to be yourself is all that you can do.

Willow read over the message several times and thought pretty hard on how to respond so it took her a little while.

Will'O'withabelt: It's my life though... I don't have anywhere else to go and I don't have too much money to myself. I'd have to get my brother to agree and I'm scared that if we leave he'll come back to get us. Maybe it's a bit unrealistic... I want to gain weight and continue to dance too. I want to be able to do everything while being fat as well. If that's possible that's what I want.

BigBell: Girl, you could crash at my place as long as you like! Your brother too! It’s not a palace but we could make it work. If you want to get out, talk to your brother. The two of you have no reason to live the rest of your lives as slaves. I can hardly live just knowing it! 😡 As far as your dreams go, you can have them all, just know where your limits are and work with them. 😉
Don’t ever give up and DEFINITELY don’t let anyone tell you how to live your life. 💪🏻

Willow read over the message and was encouraged enough to feel motivated to try. Toni was offering them a way out and if they didn't leave now, it felt like they might never get the chance again. She just needed to talk to Willem, about a lot.

Will'O'withabelt: You mean it??? Thank you! Thank you so much! I need to pack so that I can convince my brother when he gets home. Wish me luck! Is it alright if I can try to get us to come by later tonight? I owe you big time for this!

BigBell: NP buddy, Mission accepted. I’ll get my place ready. 😎

Willow sent a quick "Thanks! I'll keep you updated!" before she went to the room she shared with Willem and began to hurriedly pack their belongings into two separate bags. Most of what they had were clothing so once she got past all of that she just had to put a few belongings away. It nonetheless took her a few hours and Willem arrived home only a few minutes after she had finished. She was nervous as she could hear the father was ranting and insulting how her brother had done during the modelling. She waited in the room and hid the bags a little, going to do some last double checks around to make sure she wasn't forgetting anything. When Willem entered the room it was about an hour later and he had a bruise forming on his cheekbone, probably not the only one he had. She saw him and gave a frown as she came closer, "Willem... Are you alright?" She asked as she carefully looked at the mark. Willem sighed softly and nodded very slightly, "I'm fine as can be." He answered. "Willem, this is too much... I want to run away. Let's move out. My friend says we can go and live with her and I packed our things while you were out so that we can take them and leave as soon as father falls asleep!" She said in a hushed tone, holding her twin's shoulders as she spoke. Her brother was a great deal caught off guard by hearing this and so he looked around and surely enough their room was quite empty, "Your friend? The one you've been hanging out with? What if father catches us? He'll beat us for sure..." The young man said rather uneasily. Willow nodded to the first two questions then worried her brow, "Then he won't catch us. Not in time. By the time he wakes up we'll be gone. Besides, we'll never be free if we don't at least try..." She said, meeting his turquoise eyes with her own of the same colour as a short silence stretched on between them meanwhile Willem thought. Finally, he spoke, "Okay, fine. Let's try it." He agreed with a nod, fear still evident in his eyes but he trusted his sister knew enough on what to do in all this. Together they got their bags and waited, watching the clock and listening to their father going about drinking and watching TV in the living room. Willow would now and then go to the kitchen to get some water, receiving some off-handed comments about her weight while she was at it. "Going to stuff yourself with more food, you pig?" "Haven't you eaten enough?" He said things like this. Eventually, he dozed off and left the television on so the twins waited to make sure he'd stay asleep before they made their escape. Willow texted Toni letting her know that they had made it out of the house and then ordered a car for the both of them to get to Toni's place. Luckily a driver did pick up despite the late hour and they were able to get there. Upon arrival, Willow sent a message to Toni to let her know that they were outside then looked around at the neighbourhood a little. It reminded her of when they were growing up... They didn't live in luxury... It was like this... She then looked to her brother who was still very uneasy but holding a rather straight face as he too took in the houses and such with slightly narrowed eyes and a furrowed brow. She rubbed his shoulder slightly and offered a smile, "When we get inside, I'll try and explain a bit more about what's been going on with me recently... I owe you that much..." She said softly, receiving a nod in response from her twin. It made her feel pretty good. She was turning things around! Heavy footsteps could be heard as Toni made her way to the door before shifting the lock off and slowly creaking the door open with a welcoming smile. She was wearing a t-shirt large enough to be loose as well as a pair of small shorts. Her expression changed to that of surprise and confusion when she said, “Willem?”
