Forget everything

Chapter two

"Morgan?" I turned around to see again that un-recognised dirty face. "Do you have a dollar?" I smiled at her and slowly shook my head. "I, I don't have any money left." I told Alice. "But fifty cents plus fifty cents is one dollar." I pulled her close and kissed her on the cheek. I sat down and went to take a nap. I woke up to hear the clunking of a metal bucket. Along with gorgeous singing. I opened my eyes and Alice was playing a song and singing silently with a crowd surrounding her.

It was their special song. Her voice was soft like silk and my bucket filled and in shock I pulled out a spare box to fill the money being thrown out. I smiled as Polly realised what was happening and we all joined in to sing. The last fling of my guitar sent all of us to cry. Three buckets were filled that day. "Now do we have enough?" She smiled. "Yes." I sobbed pulling the two girls close to my chest.

TWO YEARS LATER

"Morgan. I have the money." She said pulling the two buckets and her brand new guitar. I took the bucket and the girls went to have sister time. I counted  he money and put it into my suitcase. I could now afford a small unit.

"Is this our new house?" Polly asked. "I like it!" Alice said cheerfully stroking her fish-braid Polly made for her in Alice's hair. About two weeks later everything was great. Polly graduated year 6 and was going on to high-school. And Alice got a job as a musician. Singing her song and putting all her time and effort into creating songs of her own. But the career she was taking on was pulling her away from her education. She was supposed to be going in to year 8 but she was just so focused on her music.

Her grades went down rapidly and Polly started picking up on wasting money on makeup. She was bullied and pulled her shirt up too a crop-top to make her look skinny and hot. I always asked her why she did it but she never answered me until I would buy her a phone. She picked up on the mean girls and brought home girls that wouldn't eat what I cooked because it was full of sugar and calories. And soon I had to pay for Polly's eating disorder problem every weekend.

Which made Alice sad and starting sleeping in a mattress next to Polly because she was so scared of loosing her. But Alice was loosing herself by becoming so focused on her sister and not caring about herself. Everything was going down-hill.
