A/N Niki and Elle are sisters. When they were 4 (Elle) and 5 (Nikki) their mom died in a car crash and a year later their dad died from leukaemia. They were then separated and put in foster homes. When Elle was about 12 and Nikki was about 13 they got adopted. Elle was adopted by a mom who has been divorced for a year and 10 months and Nikki was adopted by a dad who has been single and has never married. They found out more about who adopted them once they got to movie in. Nikki found out her foster dad abuses her. Elle found out her mom is an alcoholic and she also abuses Elle. On top of all that they both get bullied at school. I just wanted to fill you in and now let's get back to the story. Bai, enjoy!
Elle POV
When I got home from school I stood at the door. I looked at the drive way. Mom's car was sitting there with beer cans in the backseat. I decide to go to the park and sit on the bench under the willow tree. When I get there I just sit. I sit and think about my life. About what will happen with my foster mom. I think about mom and dad and how much I miss them. I think about Nikki and how she is at her house. I think about all the bullies at school that help with bringing me down and making me want to give up. I start to cry and I can't stop. But, I will have to stop crying before I go home.
It's already 6:00 p.m. And I think about going home. I don't want to go home because I know that if I do my mom will be drunk. Very drunk. I know that she will whip me with her belt if she sees me.
I start to walk home slowly kicking a pebble as I go. When I finally get home mom's car isn't in the drive way. I know right where she is. She is at the bar. I run up stairs and lock myself I'm my room. I go to bed and cry. I eventually fall asleep after about an hour of crying. It's like two In the morning and I hear the front door open. Oh no I think, mom is home.
"Elle," my mom says in a Slurred tone. "Come downstairs and-" CRASH!
I hear something fall or she ran into something. I stayed in bed.
"Elle!" She yells again.
Again, I ignore it. I drift off to sleep a few minutes later.
When I wake up mom is still asleep. Thank god. I quick do my hair and get dressed. I skip breakfast so mom doesn't wake up while I'm still home. I hurry out the door. Once I get a few houses away I start to walk. I'm almost to school when I see Nikki. We meet up and start talking.
"Hey Elle!" Says Nikki happily.
"Hi," I say back.
"Guess what."
"What?"
"My dad punched me and slapped me..." She whispered into Elle's ear.
"Are you okay?" Asked Elle worriedly.
"Yeah, I'm fine"
"Yesterday, I went to the park and sat at our bench."
"Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Yesterday when I was crying on the curb after dad abused me I met this guy. His name is Shawn Mendes and he was really nice!" Nikki says excitedly.
"That's awesome Nikki!" I said as we reached the school.
We went our separate ways for class.
