Broken Souls

Chapter 1/// Life Change

Mackenzie's Pov

"Maddie is dead", the police hesitaded "she took her life.. you will never see your sister again". The words replayed in my mind as I clashed into cold harsh reality. Maddie was the only thing I had left, after my mother abandoned us for her new husband it forced maddie and I to go live alone in a one story apartment with Maddie working and going to college while I tutored younger kids for money. I immediately thought about what would happen would I get sent off to one of those foster homes, or maybe one of those homes for children even though I was definitely not a child. "Your mom has called in, and she said that she would pay for your boarding school, you'll start it tommorow ". "How'd you get her number" I asked the police officer. Maddie was the only person I trust in this whole entire world and I was definitely not ready to trust anyone else. I would've never expected my mom to be so concerened about me, sure she mailed me money sometimes and would sent little gifts through the mail when it was my birthday or Christmas but that's about it. "The police have informed her about the death and she quickly responded back. There's still many details to work such as when's the funeral and who's attending it but once the details are worked out me or another police officer will contact you immediately" the officer responded. I nodded my head slowly, it seems like things were going to fast to comprehend. "For now just get rest and pack up your belongings because tommorow your moving in" the officer said "oh and also goodnight".

That night was a restless night. Maddie always seemed happy, she inspired me and I wanted to be just like her. She'd always make the best out of everyone situation, it was hard to believe she took her own life but I sensed something would happen the day she did it. Only a few hours ago before it happened we fought. It was not just any other petty sibling argument but it was a heated arguement. If only I knew what she would do I would've never said what I said. I told her that we never have anything nice and that we have no vacations at all and that she never gives me money when I need it. Instead of sleeping that night I spent my whole night packing my things into suitcases, it made me distracted from reality and that's what I needed.

Johnny's Pov

This is a nightmare and I got caught straight in it. I knew my family was bad but I didn't know it was that bad. At this point I was taking care of myself and my little sister, Lauren. Lauren and I never really got along but we're kind of forced to get along since we only have eachother. In fact I've never gotten along with anyone not even my mom and dad, I'm just another number to them, another waste of money. I've accepted that, I had to accept it. It's just a way of life, a way of thinking and I've never really expected anything else than that. So the day my mom knocked on my room door I knew something was wrong since she never pays attention to me. I slowly opened;double checking to make sure it was actually her and not someone else. She came in and sat on my bed. "Look John, me and your father have made the desicion to send you off to boarding school". I quietly laughed, since when did my mother and father agreed on something together "We think it's the best for you" she said. "You think it's the best for your bank account" I snapped back, not even realizing I was full of anger. "And Lauren?! Is she coming to" I asked well more like demanded. "No just you John" she said. Just you, of course it's just me, somehow I always found a way to get stuck in isolation.
