How to love

Part 2

Max's P.O.V

I was worried about my sister. s
She's been picked in her entire life. I never really had that problem because I'm a guy, but she has had it harder than me. I want her safe, and safe meant getting out of here.

'Nikki?'

'Yeah Max?'

'Do you want to get out of here?'

She sat up in her bed and looked over to me.

'What do you mean 'get out of here' Max. We've been here our entire lives.'

'Nikki there's something I need to tell you.' I sat up in my bed and looked over to her. This is going to be the hardest thing I'm ever going to tell her. 'Nikki, these people aren't our family.'

'What do you mean their not our family, of course they are, we've lived here our entire lives. I mean sure we're different from them, but their still our family.'

'Nikki they aren't. I promise. I remember the day we were born and she isn't our mother and that man isn't our father. Why do you think they hate us so much? It's because Mom and Dad left us on their doorstep to protect us. I don't know what from, but that's what I remember.'

Nikki turned away from me. It was like she was trying to process all this in her mind. It wasn't that she didn't understand, she always knows what I'm talking about, but this was a lot to take in. 'Nikki I'm sorry.'

'What do you mean your sorry. I'm glad you told me. Now we can leave and I won't have any regrets.'

I smiled at her. This is the first time I've seen her happy in a long time. I'm glad she's happy that we aren't staying.
