Screams from autumn and yelling from Reece.

"let me go..! get your hands off her..!"

I get up, there is police officers running around. Their father must have sent them for reece. The next thing I know is that I've been grabbed by the collar and I've been shoved into the back of a police car with reece and aut. I'm sitting next to reece and laying on him, my whole body throbbing, I could feel his anger. Then everything goes black.

Autumn's Perspective

"I'M SO DONE WITH YOU, THESE CHILDREN. ALL YOU DO IS WORK AND DRINK. YOU ARE A TERRIBLE PERSON, YOU DON'T EVEN CARE FOR ANYONE BUT YOURSELF DO YOU?! YOU FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT. I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN! YOU HEAR ME?! AGAIN. DON'T CALL, DON'T TEXT".

"FATHER STOP!! OUCH-!" I screamed.

"IM SORRY! I DID EVERTHING YOU ASKED! I CLEANED THE WHOLE HOUSE, I DID THE WASHING, I ORGANISED THE FILES. EVERYTHING! PLEASE FATHER STOP!"

I fell to the floor, my head hitting the wood and my nose gushing of blood. My brother thankfully came running to help me, I couldn't physically get up without collapsing.

"Aut, can you hear me are you okay?! Please tell me- Oh my god your nose! Let's get you some tissues and fix up your nose". He said, trembling in fear.

Reece was so worried about me, I could see it on his face. He really loved me. I was so thankful for him being my big brother. He picked me up and sat me on my bed, and picked up a tissue box to help me with my nose.

"R-reece I don't want to be here anymore. We can leave".

"Okay, start packing. I'll find us some money and get us our bikes out".

Reece walked out, he was so determined to get us a better future. I turned around and looked at the puddle of blood from my nose on the floor. I chucked a towel on the puddle, and turned back around and eventually started chucking money, personal possessions, and clothing in my bag. I was ready to go, when reece started calling my name. I walked up to him with my bag on my back, freshly cleaned clothing and my hair tied back. I was ready to go. There was no sign of father, his car was gone.

"Let's go Aut"

We jumped on our bikes and rode down to the subway where we jumped on the next one towards Mia's house.

"Mia's father just left. Were going to meet with her and go with her to another place".

We jumped on the subway with our bikes, then before I know it. We are here and I spot Mia. Mia was probably my closest friend. She was a year older than me but we were like sisters together. Our families were close and Reece liked her too. It was so obvious that they had feelings for eachother but were all to scared to admit it to themselves. Mia had long, black hair with blue eyes. Her makeup was perfect. Her lashes were not clumpy, they were long, her hair was out and flowing with the breeze. She had her head in her phone, headphones in and doing something with her phone. We jumped off the subway, and reece walked behind her and tapped her on the shoulder.

"Reece.. Autumn. I said I was coming to you? Why did you come to me?" Mia said. She was so shocked to see us.

"It's better if we came to you, it's easier to go further from here" he replied.

Mia nodded in agreement and jumped on her bike, signalling that we were to come with her and follow. We set off in some strange direction.

4 hours later

We arrived at some-sort of crappy apartment. Mia, Reece and I made deposits and strangely got the keys quick. I found a small room, set up my bed and instantly fell asleep. I was so tired from the day's events. My nose was throbbing, my whole head. I heard Reece mumbling something to Mia then, everything went black.
