Flashback - No one's POV
Their mother's cries could be heard coming from downstairs, echoing throughout the house along with their father's mutters of reassurance. The two girls could be heard screaming at each other
"You fucked up EVERYTHING!" Coraline roared
"I was helping you! I am not letting her get away with what she was doing to you!"
"I can handle myself, I don't need my 'Oh so popular and badass' older sister to protect me"
"You almost stopped eating! She was calling you fat, ugly, retard, slag, and you think I'm okay with th-" A glass was thrown at the wall behind (Y/n)
"I don't need you! You knew this was your last chance before you were expelled, and what did you do? You put her in the fucking hospital, you always fuck up everything!" Coraline shouted so loud her vocal cords were about to be ripped apart.
Coraline dropped to the her knees and sobbed, sniffling and choking on her own saliva. (Y/n) stared at her in shock, frozen due to the glass that was mere inches away from her head
"I lost my friends all because of you.. you selfish slu-" a red hand-print appeared on Coraline's cheek
"Don't you ever call me selfish!" (Y/n) screamed, but covered her mouth once she realized what she'd done. She stood frozen in her tracks as she stared at her sisters cheek. Coraline shakily brushed her fingers across her cheek with emotionless eyes
(Y/n) tried to muster something to say, but no words came out of her mouth. Instead, she swung her door open and ran. Coraline heard the door to the outside open and slam shut again while mom and dad cried for her to come back inside.
She didn't come back for a week.

(Y/n)'s POV
I gasped and lunged forward from my bed, panting for a few moments before calming down. My face was wet from sweat and.. tears? I couldn't tell. I rubbed the moisture from my face and stood up, my bare feet touching the cold wooden floor.
Before I left the room, I checked my phone for any notifications. Nothing. Not even from him. I felt a bit saddened, but shrugged it off as it was so late.. fucking hell is it really 2am? I got school in the morning!
I groaned but a blue haired brat popped her head from the corner of our door
"Psst, (Y/n)! Follow me!"
"Coraline, it's 2 in the morning. I'm getting a drink and then going back to bed" I told her, walking past her, her hand gripped my arm and tugged me towards her
"No, really! Check this out!" She insisted, I sighed
"If it's a fucking dead mouse again I'm going to get really pissed"
"It's not! Just follow!" So I did, we sneaked downstairs and into the living room and she pointed at the little door. I folded my arms and stared at her, she realized she's got my attention and opened it. The blue tunnel that brought us into the other world unraveled itself.
I couldn't be bothered to go in, but my tummy was begging for food. She began crawling in and I followed. We got to the other side and brushed off all of the dirt and dust on us
"Honey, I'm home!" I called out sarcastically, I heard the Other Mother reply
"I'm in the kitchen, sweety!" We followed the voice and found her with some cheese in her hand
"Welcome back, darlings. So thoughtful of you to send this nice cheddar, Coraline."
"Cheddar? Oh! The mice bait" She grinned
"Would you go fetch your father, (Y/n)? I bet he's hungry as a pumpkin by now" She giggled, I squinted at her
"You mean my other father" I corrected, she booped my nose with a smile
"Your better father, dear. He's out in the garden" I was already in a bitter mood, so I rolled my eyes and walked into the back garden with Coraline, who was feasting on a strawberry.
"What's wrong with you?" Cory questioned, noticing my slight scowl.
"Nothing, I'm fine" She gave me a side glance, obviously not believing what I said.
"You know I don't like it when people stare at me, so stop it"
"Sorry" She apologized, her eyes tore themselves off of me and onto the man in front of us.
"Hey" I waved, Coraline was awe-struck by the view of their garden.
"I love your garden!" She said, squealing slightly and jumping, the Other Father chuckled. He was on top of this mechanical bug, just cruising around
"Our garden, Coraline." I was pulled to the ground by some plants, which proceeded to make their way to my most ticklish parts. I couldn't hold back my giggles as they began to wiggle their little arms on my neck and waist
"Stop tickling me!" I ordered, but they didn't stop
"Daughter in distress!" The Other Father blew into his horn and made his way over to me, the mechanical bug lifted his claw and cut the roots of the plants, saving me from another second of tickles
"Tickle no more, you dragon snappers" He handed me the flowers and gave me a helping hand onto my feet
"Thanks, oh! The Other Mother, she says it's time for dinner, breakfast, food" I told him, he offered me his hand
"Hop on, kiddo, I wanna show you something"
"Okay, but let's not forget Cory" I said while I adjusted my ass on the bug, he chuckled
"How can I forget? Coraline!" In the distance, we heard a 'Yeah?'
"Get your fat ass over here! Boss man wants to show us something!" I called out, Other Father shook his head with a chuckle.
"Coming!" We waited for a moment, before her blue hair came into view. Other Father began to lift out and Coraline jumped up and reached for my hand, I helped her up and she sat behind me.
We looked around and began to notice a picture in the plants, as we got higher into the sky Coraline and I gasped. The "drawing" was of me and Coraline, holding hands and smiling. Just like how we used to be when we were younger.
"I can't believe you did this!" Cory exclaimed, earning a smile from our driver
"Mother said you'd like it - boy, she knows you like the back of her hand.."
