Lost; An Abusive Story

Chapter 1

Brynlynn's P.O.V.
>>>>>>><<<<<<<
This is my life.
My not so perfect life.
It didn't always use to be this way.
I wasn't always so afriad.
It all started when I was 7, Gabe was 9, and Sophia was 5.

FLASHBACK
"BRYN! GABE! SOPHIA! TIME FOR BREAKFAST!!" My mother, Ella, yelled. I bounced down the steps, my eyes twinkling with joy. My mother always told me breakfast was the most important meal of the day.
Right behind me was Sophia and Gabe. Today was the day we went to Holiday World and we were so excited, for we have never been to Holiday World due to money.

Our dad owned a restaurant and things have been going downhill lately. He had 3 employees quit recently and had 1 more left. With not a lot of help around, he decided to take a break and sold the restaurant to the bank. We ended up getting $1,400 back so we decided to go on vacation for a week.
Flashback

I woke up to screaming, and not just any screaming, ELLA'S screaming. I looked at the alarm 7:27am and ran downstairs, careful not to wake my brother or Mike on the way down.

I found Ella, I refuse to call her my mother, in the kitchen, standing near a broken glass. Great, I thought, more for me to clean up.
"What are you staring at?!" She yells.
I cringed and looked at the floor, my long golden hair blocking my view.
Before I could react, Ella grabbed my hair, pulled me onto the floor on the glass, cutting my arm up. I held back my tears and looked up at Ella.

"Look at me when your spoken too!!" She says. More like yelled I thought in my head. At least I THOUGHT I said in my head. The next couple of seconds happened so fast, that before I knew it, I was bleeding from my lip, I had a black eye, and a large cut on my face from glass. She spat on me and stomped back up the stairs.

"Bryn-n" my older brother Gabe stuttered. I turned my head to where his voice was coming from and bursted into tears. He rushed to my side and picked me up, carrying me to the couch.

"Bryn-n wha-at hap-pened" he stutters while setting me down carefully. I hate when he's like this.
"Mom" I whispered. He clinched his hand into a fist and punched a pillow. He then look over at me and softened the features of his face. "Bryn, as soon as I get enough money, we are leaving this place FOR GOOD." He whispers. He goes to the kitchen and wraps up my arm after applying peroxide. SLAM. Oh great, Mike's up.

Flashback
We all loaded up the car and took off, us kids in the back with mom driving and dad ALREADY fast asleep. He was never a road trip kind of guy. I was behind mom with Sophia in the middle and Gabe on her right. We were 20 minutes into the ride when I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned to look at Sophia, otherwise known as my best friend. "Can I sit there please? I want to see out the window!" She whispers. I nod my head yes and unbuckle her and I.
Flashback

Gabe holds onto me tightly, afraid of letting go. Mike comes out of his room, stopping in front of the couch. "Pack your crap, we're moving." He mumbles. I glance over at Gabe and we both seem to be thinking the same thing Oh great!
