Abby's P.O.V

I sit outside in the cold air, outside my sisters apartment. Alone. That's what I love. Cold air, being alone and most of all silence. Dead silence. Most people think I'm "goth" but I'm not I swear. I don't even wear make-up. I just hate all human beings except my sister because she's all I have.

*1 hour later*

"Abby you should come inside, your gonna get sick!" Ava said slowly sitting down next to me.

"I don't get sick," I say looking at my knees.

"Abby-"

"No Ava, I said no," I said my voice getting a little louder. I think she understood by now.

"Okay," she said getting up. "Come in before dark. I love you," she said softly with a smile.

"Love you too," I turn to her smiling.

Ava is only person I'm kind to.

----------

*At Dinner*

"So um of course you know my birthday is coming up," she said looking down at her food.

"Yeah, September 23rd," I said after a sip of my water.

"I'm having a few friends over and-"

"Seriously Ava?! This is my only shelter! Where am I supposed to go when your stupid ass friends get here," I say annoyed.

"Well I was thinking, maybe you could stay?" she said with hope.

"No," I say sharply and leave the table.

-------------

I grab my iPod and listen to music.
I turned the light off. I hate the light. I go on Instagram. I look at Hannah's profile. I comment on her photo of her and Olive.

-Abbiijoycee14:
Ew! U and your stupid ass friends are so annoying! Make yourselves useful.

5 minutes later, she deleted the picture. I smirked. I have been bullying them for about... A year? Yeah a year. I don't mean to bully them it's a long story.

--------

*Next day*

Saturday, my favorite day of the week.
I sit on the couch watching multiple horror movies. I love them so much no one understands.

"Abby stop watching horror movies so much! Aren't you getting nightmares?" Ava says annoyed turning it off.

"What am I, 5? Turn it back on please Ava," I said starring at the black screen.

She sighs and turns it on.

"I'm going to the market, go the bank to deposit a check, and get us Chinese take-out," she says smiling.

My face lights up when she said Chinese take-out. It's my favorite!

"Awesome. Love you," I said staring at the tv smiling.

"Love you too," she said closing the front door behind her.

-------------

Wow I feel bad for that girl in the movie. She almost has the exact same life as me. I don't know what came over me. I did something I promised myself I never would do. I picked up the phone and dialed a number.

"Hello Essex County Jail, Can I help you?"

"Hi, uh um can I speak to Bella Joyce?" I said with fear in my voice.

"One minute please ma'am," the guy said.

Then I heard a voice I haven't heard since I was 6.

"Abby is that you?" the voice said annoyed.

"Yeah, H-H- Hi," I stutter.

"Well what did you call for?" she says.

I instantly remember the reason. The reason I called the cops on her when I was 6. Within a second I hung up. I ran upstairs. I jumped on my bed and I instantly started crying. Just then Ava came home.

"Abby? I'm home! Are you here?" she said shouting. She comes in to my room after a second. "Abby!" she worriedly shouts and rushes to my side. "Why are you crying?" she said starting to cry too.

"Please Abby talk to me. Did you break something? Did you lose something? Just tell me I won't be mad I promise," she said softly trying to calm me down.

"I didn't take any of your things and I didn't break anything!" I said slightly yelling and crying.

"Then why are you crying?" she said with a tear running down her face.

"I called her."
