It's here. My day of freedom is finally here! Today means freedom from my selfish parents. It means freedom from this faction that frankly, I'm not very good at.

I was born and raised in Abnegation. One of the 5 factions in our society. Our faction is suppose to be selfless, and put everyone in front of ourselves. This is something that my parents have obviously never done to me. My dad, Collin, was abusive and my mom, Eleanor, was verbally aggressive. It shocks me how they can get by so easily when all they do at home is fight and torture me and my sister, Amanda.

Shit. I totally forgot about her. My little sister is three years younger than me, and she is the most caring out of my whole family. But now it's the day of the Choosing Ceremony, and there is no way on earth that I am staying in Abnegation. But when I leave there won't be anyone to take the beatings for Amanda; there won't be anyone that will stick up for her.

And now all I can think is that me, Amanda's only hope, is leaving for a whole new life.
