Girls In The Dark

Chapter 1

Jay's POV

"It's Christmas be happy!" My stepmother, Christina, repeatedly screamed at me. Sometimes I felt like Cinderella, you know crazy step mom, mean stepsisters, dead dad. The only thing is not all my step sisters were so bad. I was actually best friends with my oldest stepsister, Holly. Her little sisters were terrible though.

My dad married Tina when I was three, I'm seventeen now and my dad is dead. He died a year ago today. Merry Christmas to me, right? Holly knew this was a hard day for me, it was a hard day for both of us. Her and I became best friends the first time we saw each other. My dad would always take us out for ice cream on Sundays.

It was too bad my dad loved us two kids more than my evil step mother. Holly was even afraid of her. We would always have to do chores and cook while Tina and her other kids were spoiled with sitting on their butts all day. Tina disowned Holly the Christmas my dad gave Holly and I sister necklaces. But that's okay because it made us closer. Neither of us have taken our necklaces off, and we never plan to.

Currently I was cooking dinner and Holly was scrubbing the floors. Tina was and her laptop and Holly's sisters, Krystal and Stella, we on their phones texting their boyfriends.

Tna suddenly stood up and started walking towards Holly angerly. "Holly have you been using my computer?!" She screamed. "Y-yes." Holly studdered. Next thing I knew Tina hand came in contact with Holly's face and Holly was laying on the floor crying. "That should teach you to stay off my stuff you little bitch!" Tina yelled. I wait for Tina to be out of sight before running to Holly.

I held her in my arms and stoked her hair. "Tell me the story, please." She cried. I sighed "Once upon a time-"
"What the hell do you think you are doing?! I didn't tell you to stop cooking!"

I helped Holly stand up, she wiped her tears and started scrubbing the floors again. I stood their for a minute, Holly gave me the look to not say anything but there was no way I was going to let her get away with hitting her own daughter, who was also my best friend. "No one told you to hit your own daughter but you still did it." I said looking her straight in the eyes.

Tina then grabbed one of Holly's arms and one of my arms and took us to our room. After she left Holly and I laughed, now that she locked us in our room she would have to finish dinner and either Krystal or Stella will have to finish the floors. And maybe we don't get dinner but since Holly and I clean our own room we have spots where we have stashed food.

Holly grabs the chips behind her bed and I grabbed the pop in my dresser and we had a party. Holly still had a big red hand print on her face but she said it didn't hurt anymore which was good. Our good time didn't last long though.
