Follow Me Into The Dark(a munchingbrotato fanfic)

wat. family?

Alexs POV.

*age 7*

Mommy hit me and Quinny with the bottles again. I dont know why though. She keeps hurting me, Quinny, and Shelby. Josh hits us too, but I never understand why.

I walk into Shelbys room for her softening. Softening is when Shelby, Quinny, and me cuddle inside Shelbys bed together and tell each other stories. When I see Shelby she's in the corner of her room.

"Shelby?" I whimpered.

"Yes Alex? Do you need softening?" she replied.

"Yes. I'll go get Quinny." I answered as im running quickly to my bedroom.

I hit the door in the rhythm of our secret knock to remind Quinny its Softening time. Quinny comes out of the bedroom with puffy red eyes and her stuffed toy from Shelby.

We trottled to Shelbys room hoping we wouldnt get noticed by Mommy. Shelby taught us how to sneak quietly when we needed to be silent.

As we enter Shelbys room we all ran in for a group hug. Our warm bodies press up against each other as we're tightly gripped.

As our group hug ended, Quinny confessed something.

"Shelby, you know those marks on youe leg?" Quinny asked.

"Yes? They're called cuts." She replied.

Quinny picks up her pinl capris she was wearing and her thin thighs showed red cuts.

Shelby soon ran up to Quinny picking her up.

"Quinny baby dont cut yourself please. Please dont!" Shelby cried.

"I saw that these made you happy, and I wanted to be happy too. So I did what you did." Quinny replied as her eyes welled up with tears.

I wonder why my family is like this, and why Mommy doesn't like us. But why was Shelby the only one that cared?

***Seven Years later***

****Shelbys POV.****

"IM MOVING OUT AND TAKING THE TWINS!" I shouted at Josh.

"NO YOU ABORTION. THOSE ARE MY DAUGHTERS AND YOU CANT HAVE THEM YOU PIECE OF SHIT! YOU SEE WHAT YOU'RE DOING TO THEM? EVER SINCE YOUR MOTHER DIED YOU'VE BEEN A SHITTY STEP DAUGHTERS." he replied.

"NO! YOU'RE THE ONE WHO BEATS US, AND FORCES US TO DO SHIT. YOU JUST GET DRUNK AND SLAM BOTTLES ON OUR HEAD. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN TO STOP!" I yelled as I ran to the girls room.

I entered the twins room as they run up to embrace me.

"Shelby you're back!" Alex cried.

"I know I'm back. Girls, pack youe bags. You're moving in with me." I whispered.

The twins didnt have much to pack. Their 7 pairs of clothes, makeup, and the four dolls they owned.

Two of the four dolls were two of the same colored dogs I won in a crane game. I knew at the time I won those I would be having sisters, so I saved the dolls for them. The other two were two dolls they stole from someones house. I dont know how they got into someones bedroom and swipped them, but it made the girls happy.

When they were done packing, we climbed out the bedroom window, and drove to my house.

"Thank you Shelby. I love you. " Alex announced during the car ride.

"Me too Shelby! Thank you so much for taking us!" Quinn thanked.

"No problems girls, I already had paperwork filled out so even if I didnt take you guys now you'd still end up at our house." I replied while focusing on the road.

Once we entered our house, I showed Alex and Quinn their two rooms connected together. The rooms already had pictures of them and furniture inside. Inside the dressers, were new clothes, with new shoes to match inside the closet. On top of the dressers had new makeup and heat products.

Alex and Quinn both gasp as their eyes widen. They're amazed on how the stuff inside their rooms are new.

"Shelby?" Quinn asked.

"Yes baby?" I replied looking at her face.

"Promise me I can live here forever. And promise Alex too." she asked.

"I swear,"I said placing my raising my right hand," on my life, that you girls can live here forever."

I may be 19, but I will never break a promise.
