~Charlotte's POV~"Charlotte hurry up you little brat!" My mother screams across the house, "If it weren't for you and dad we wouldn't be moving all the god damn time!" I scream back. I grab my black roller bag from my room and walk down the wood pannel hall way. I have a brother and two parents that are wanted by the cops. My brother's name is Nickolas, but we call him Nick, I hate him as well. He laughs when I'm pinned against a wall and beaten. He laughs when I pass out. He loves to see me in pain. And ya know what, I like to see him in pain! I walk past his room and notice his laptop, "Nick Dick! You forgot your laptop!" I scream hoping he'd hear. I continue down the hallway and into the black Kluger Grande. I sit closest to the window waiting for my Dad and Nick to get in the car. I pull my large black and purple head phones from my roller bag and my iPod, my borther gets in the car pulling off my headphones. "Nick could you not?!" I yell pulling them back on my head. The car slowly accelerates. I look out the window. My favourite song comes on so I hum it.
I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing,
Just praying to a god I don't believe in
Cause I got time while she got freedom
Cause when a heart breaks no it don't break even
her best days would've been some of my worst
She finally met a man that's gonna put her first
While I'm wide awake she's got no trouble sleepin'
Cause when a heart breaks no it don't break even even noooo
What am I supposed to do when the best part of me was always you?
and what am I supposed to say when I'm all chocked up and you're ok?
I'm fallin to peices
I'm fallin to peices
they say bad things happen for a reason
and no wise words gonna stop the bleeding
Cause she's moved on while I'm still grievin
Cause when a heart breaks no it don't break even even noooo
What am I sup- "Kid shut up!" Dad yells from the front, I glare at him and stop. I see Nick smirking next to me. I elbow his gut. "Bitch!" He yelps. I just laugh."You shut the fuck up!" Mum screams in anger. I roll my eyes and look out the window again. We are all side effects in this lonely world. Especially if your dad is a serial killer, your mother is a robber, your brother a hacker to cover up your parents steps. I hate my life. I just don't like the idea of suicide or cutting... But here we are on the road again to escape the police. I was inturrepted from my thought by Nick punching me in the arm. I shoot him a glare and take his laptop and open the window, "Wanna go Nick?" I threaten. "Give me my laptop! Now!" He yells. Mum just looks at me, smiling? She gives me a look saying: Go on do it. "Touch me again I'll do it, I'll throw it out the window," I say giving him his laptop and close my window. "Whatever you bitch," he mumbles, 'What? Did you say something?" I say grabbing his laptop again. "NOTHING!" He screams. I roll my eyes, "Baby," On we go to our new home.
Time Skippy
"We're here get out!" My father yells from the front. I take off my headphones and place them in my roller bag. I open my door and look at out house, a gorgeous two story red house. I stare at the house slowly walking up the steep drive way. 'Mum why did we move here?! I thought we we're moving to The Northern Territory!" Nick yells at mum. "Because that's where they think we are!" She says in reply. I have never seen mum this calm. Oh well. I claim the biggest bedroom and place my laptop bag on the small desk. I walk downstairs and get my two other suit cases. I throw them on my bed and my roller bag sits on the desk chair. I close my door and unpack my stereo. I plug my iPod into the stero and Little Lion Men blasts out of the speaker. I start singing along, I open my first suitcase which has my shoes and most of my clothes. I only have 5 pairs of shoes, sneakers, thongs/flip flops ((Depends where u live)), slip ons, sandals and high heels. I open my roller door cupboard and place my shoes on the floor. The song changes: Blink 182 First Date, now blasts from the speakers. I hear a loud knock on my door, I knew it was Nick, "Unpacking here!" I yell over the music, "I don't care! I'm coming in!" It was mum?! She walks in and turns off my music, "I want to talk to you," Why is she being nice all of a sudden?! I slide onto my bed eyeing my mother carefully. I nod slowly. "You're going to school on Monday ok?" I look at my criminal mother in shock, "Okay? What about Nick? Is he going to be in year 8 at school?" If you couldn't tell I'm older out of us two I'm two years older. Nick is 14. Mum nods, 'I've told him, if he annoy's you at school you have permission to beat him up," I nod in response. Mum nods a little and turns my music back on and walks out of my room. She's on drugs again isn't she! ((DO NOT TAKE DRUGS AT ALL! DON'T SMOKE! NOTHING!)) Cocaine always makes her calm. I put my dresses and nice shirts in the cupboard, I only have 2 dresses. I put my jeans in a draw, same with my shirts Pajama's and same with my shorts. I put my socks and stockings in a draw and my under garmets in another. I open my laptop bag and pull out my black Asus ((My laptop basically xD)) and place it on the desk. Next I get my pitch black mouse and mouse pad out. I sit in the chair and open my laptop and turn it on. My parents don't know this but I hacked my brother's computer. God it was hard though! Oh well.
~Nick's POV~ ((From where Charlotte is oki))
I pull out my phone and start playing Crossy Road. My laptop starts going crazy telling me someone has hacked my laptop. I run over to my laptop and start typing codes to see who it is. I'll acess through my hacking devices so I can see who they are using their own webcam. It's successfull. Charlotte... How? She doesn't know how to hack. I get up and slam my laptop shut. "Charlotte!" I yell from my room. My room is pure blue. With a matrix bedsheet on my bed. I storm out of my room across the soft whote carpet. She was going to get it!
