Valencia POV

"Charlease Rosa Waters, where is my dress for tonight?" I yelled from the closet, while rampaging through the hangers. I could hear my sister's laugh, she was Charlease when I was mad, but she's always Char to me.

"Val, I put in on your bed next to some heels that I picked out for you." She continued to laugh for a bit more. Her laugh was gentle and cute not like the laughs that make your ears throb to death.

I walked to the room seeing my navy blue dress laying next to a pair of black heels. I sighed softly, "Sorry Char just thought that you decided to wear it." She walked to the frame of the door leaning on it casually. Raising an eyebrow, "It's alright I guess. Considering that I've done that many times to you I don't blame you." With a smile planted on her face she walks to my bathroom plugging in my flat iron.
As I pulled off my sweats pulled on the black heels I felt a soft hum ring through my ears ignoring it I kept getting ready.

Char parked the car a couple blocks away from the college party. How she knew this party was taking place was a mystery. She always took me to the parties she went to after my parents died.

Flashback:

The beeps on the heart monitor made me uneasy. Charlease stared at our parents with tears in her eyes. I couldn't take my eyes off of my mother. Bruises decorated her flawless warm brown skin color. Gashes were bandaged from the glass digging into her skin. Her eyes moved under her lids frantically as if scared.
My father's heart monitor was steady but faltered at some moments. His natural beige skin color brought out the dark bruises a lot more. He didn't have as many gashes on him.

My mother opened her eyes staring at us frantically. She struggled to tell us something.
"Protect... Val... Danger..."

As we stared at each other in confusion my mother continued.

"Money... Bottom drawer... Move away from here..." She pleaded with tears in her eyes. "My beautiful... Daughters... I-"
