Bre Rush POV (finally amirite?)
I grabbed my bag and walked out of my room. Well it wasn't really my room, Breanna and I had to share. I really want to go back. It's all I think about. I never hear about Aislyn, Tessa, or Pentatonix. It's like they disappeared too.
I have a new identity, my name is Alexis Hukes. Breanna and Sam dyed their full hair. I only dyed my tips. Breannas name is now Catrina Hukes. We are sisters. And then there is our brother, Casey Hukes aka Sam. Sam won't let us leave. He lets us leave the house but not leave him. He says if we do he will do something bad.
So yeah, I'm Alexis Hukes and I have my chocolate brown hair with dyed pink tips. Sam says to grow it out so makes us even more unnoticeable. I have blue contacts to hide my hazel eyes. We went to a person and he fixed my arm and Breannas leg. So no more cast.
Breanna is now Catrina Hukes with a full hair of blue. She has green contacts from her original blue. She dyes the roots herself. She also helps Sams and redyes mine on occasion.
Sam is now Casey Hukes. He has a full head of black hair and green eyes. Sam works the most out of all of us. He has 2 jobs.
We all live in a 2 room apartment next to the concert center. We always hear live music from our room and Breanna and me always sing along. Well until Sam catches us. He's really strict about our identity. Around him I talk in a southern accent but when he's not there I talk normally.
We have made a life out of the small amount of money we had to begin with. I never got to say goodbye. I really miss them all. I wonder if they miss us, I wonder if they even care.
I stuffed my bag with the money I have been secretly saving up. I can't live with this psychopath of a person. Breanna is gonna stay and calm him down when I leave. She told me to run and hide. I told her I would come back for her. Sam is at work so it's about the time to leave. My bag was stuffed with food, money, clothes, and some toiletries. I went over and hugged Breanna. She started to cry. I promised her I would be back. I ran out of the small room into the small living room. The door was locked so I undid the locks and went over to the fire escape. I climbed down it. The cold air hit my face and I shivered. Finally, I reached the bottom of the escape and I ran.
I stopped in front of a teenage skater store. This is where I caught up on all the news. The magazine rack was outside. I scanned it until I saw a name. "Pentatonix's last concert in Nashville, TN on March 5!'
March 5th is tomorrow. If I only could get in and find them. I went over to the concert center. I pulled out all my money. It added up to $300. There was a woman at the ticket shop scrolling through a computer screen.
"Ma'am ? Can I have 1 front row ticket to Pentatonix tomorrow?" I asked her sliding her the $300 dollars. She nodded. She printed me a ticket and I took it and ran. I went into an alley way. It was dark but good to sleep in until tomorrow. I used my back pack as a bag and fell asleep.
Breanna Mack POV
"I don't know where she is Sam! I swear! She told me she was going to pick up some milk at the gas station. I'm sorry I should've went with her." I started to cry. Sam hates it when I cry. But it makes him stop yelling and start meeting eye-to-eye with me. He took my hand and sat me down on the couch. I looked at him and sobbed even harder. He told me to go to bed and that he would go look for her.
When I heard the door slam, I walked into the living room and turned on the small T.V.. I watched 15 minutes of some Disney show before I went to bed. The top bunk above me was empty. Usually Bre and I softly sang another to sleep but I had no one. A tear hit my pillow.
Sam has changed. He used to be so carefree and loving but now he's mean. He acts like our dad and like he owns us. I missed the old him.
My mind wandered until I thought about him. Scott.... I can't believe I left him behind for what? This? The tears kept following. Good thing I can cry quietly now. Whenever Bre was upset and crying I would have to tell her to come down to my bunk. I would play with her hair until she stopped crying and fell asleep. The reason why is she is a loud crier and would go on forever. Me on the other hand, I can cry quiet when I want to.
Bre was the most vulnerable and picky of all of this. She would cry every other day saying she wanted to go home. That went on for the first month then she started to barely talk at all. She only talked when Sam left because she always ended up making him mad.
What if she lied and isn't coming back for me? I rolled over the other way and stared at the wall. Bre wouldn't, she knows how terrible it is here. Plus we are like sisters. Sisters after escape right?
My hair needed to be dyed blue another time but I was too lazy to redye it. I'll do it tomorrow. Tomorrow. Hopefully I can leave by tomorrow.
The door slammed and I quickly shut my eyes. The footsteps pooled into Sam's room and he slammed his door.
My thoughts went back to normal and I thought of my old friends. Aislyn.... I really miss her. She knows me more than I know myself. Tessa... she probably is okay right now. Knowing Tessa she probably found new friends. She's so friendly.
My mind kept jumping around until I deeply thought of tomorrow. Wait. Tomorrow is my day of birth. I frowned. I will be turning 21. Too bad I can't party like a 21 year old. My stomach shivered into a ball. I can't be turning 21 tomorrow, my parents planned out this party years ago. My parents, they probably are doing horribly. My brother, he's probably thinking of the last thing he said to me. Pretty much the last thing we say to another is a rude or sassy remark. I wonder if he regretted saying it.
My eyes started to grow weak and I drifted into a heavy sleep. Hopefully I can be okay by tomorrow.
