With the little crumpled paper in hand, and a rebellious smirk playing on my lips, I was ready. I took big, confident strides to the door with my chin high in the air. I grasped the golden door knob before yanking the door open. All curious eyes turned to me and I quickly closed the door.
"I-I can't do this!" I whine throwing the paper on the ground. A groan sounded from a clearly annoyed Cole.
"What do you mean?" Silver was now beside me.
"I can't just leave my family! Are you crazy?"
"No."
"Do you really expect me to run away, off into the sunset, with two strangers?" I threw my hands up in the air for emphasis. "You," I pointed to Cole who looked bored at the momment. "-Could be a rapist for all I know. Any you," I pointed to Silver. "Could be a murderer."
"What?" Silver and Cole cohrused together. "Were only 16!" They finished. Wait, they're twin, but one has blue eyes and one has brown...Weird.
"What's your age got to do with this?" I placed a hand on my hip.
"Not even a minute ago you agreed to my escape plan! You know what, you either take it or you leave it because I'm-"
"We're" Cole interrupts his sister.
"We're," She says slowly, scowling at her brother. "Doing this for you. Your too captivated, you probably don't even know what...know what...know-"
"What sex is." Cole finishes.
"For real? I guess cousin Omar was true, sex is always on a man's mind." Silver shakes her head.
"Duh, I know what sex is." They both look at me stupidly.
"Ya' do?" Silver raises an eyebrow. I nod my head.
"Then what is it?" Cole challenges me, stepping foward.
"What do you mean?" I act dumb. So, maybe I don't exactly know what sex is. I know what guy's parts look like, but I don't exactly know where it is their supposed to go. I usually block my tutor out while she teaches me about the male and female body parts, don't judge me she's bo-ring.
"You know, hows' it happen?"
"I just realized. You guy's just started having a country accent." I point out.
"Tell us!" Cole snaps.
"Ok, ok. It's when the girl takes of her clothes and the boy does to and-"
"We already know that."
"Ok the boy puts his um, thing...in...in...in the...the...he puts it-"
"Told you so!" Cole laughs. Silver shakes her head.
"I'm not cazy! I swear I heard more than one voices in the bathroom!" Oh-no, that's my auntie who is known for being a little crazy, hopefully no one will beleive her. By now the bathroom has gone silent, no one dared to move or make a sound. My ear was up against the door as I listened to my mom speak.
"Let me hear for myself." I hear the scratching of the wooden chair and mom's heel clicking getting near.
"We have to go, come if you want." Silver rushed to the window and was quick to ger on her brother's back. Once she was in front of the window she pulled the lever and the window opened. She swing her legs over the window sill, took one look at me and jumped down. Cole grabbed the window sill preparing to jump.
"Wait, I'll come." I whisper to Cole, repeaditly tapping his back. He paused for a moment before lifting himself onto the window. Swinging his legs over, he jumped to safety without looking back. Jerk! How could he just leave me like that? I reached for the window that was a few inches away from my finger tips. Mom's heel clicking had gotten louder. I need to get out, and I need to get out fast. I looked over to the sink when the idea popped into my head. I pulled myself up onto it to a point where I was standing. I reached to the side and grasped the window sill.
