The Reids And Me

Chapter 1

Hi I'm Ashley Kye i'm 16, i love dancing and cars, i used to love drawing but that changed a while ago. Apparently i'm really smart but even if i am i try not to show it but sometimes i really can't help it cause other people are so dumb it's annoying. I have a twin brother and i have always made friends with boys better than girls, so i've always hung out with guys and around manly things hence why i love cars. I get dizzy and faint very easily when i stress out which isn't alway covenant being a dancer

----------------------------------

'lost her mother and sister in a house fire, her and her father have had issues for years her father has been hitting her since she was little. she has a twin brother who ends up hospitalised because of the same fire that killed her mother and sister. She was hospitalized with serious burns but insisted on being in the same room as her brother, there best friends have been there everyday to make sure she got everything she needs. Once she's finally discharged she heads home to see what's left but as she arrives she finds her father standing in the driveway with all her stuff packed he tells her she's going to live with friends in california.................. they currently live in texas'

"ARE YOU NUTS YOU CAN'T SEND ME AWAY LIKE THIS" i scream at him

"I HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO SEND YOU AWAY YOU LITTLE BRATT THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT AFTER ALL" he screams back

"YOU STARTED THAT FIRE NOT ME DON'T PUT THE BLAME ON ME YOU KILLED THEM" with that he smacks me but i don't regret saying it

"HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT TO ME YOUR BROTHER WILL BE BETTER OFF WITHOUT YOU" he spits at me

"YOU HAVEN'T EVEN BEEN TO SEE HIM AND YOU THINK THIS IS BETTER YOU THINK ABANDONING HIM IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO RIGHT NOW WHAT ABOUT WHEN HE WAKES UP" i feel my eyes tear over but i don't let them fall i don't cry i haven't in years

"HE WON'T EVEN WANT TO LOOK AT YOU WHEN HE FINDS OUT WHAT YOU'VE DONE" he shoots back before picking me up and throwing me in the back of a taxi that drives off towards the airport with me forcing myself not to cry in the back seat.

I'm assuming you're wondering what's going on here. This all started awhile back but i will shorten it for you, ever since i was young my father has believed i was worthless and no good so when ever we were home alone together which was basically always he would beat me. Now you must be thinking why wouldn't you tell anyone? Well he threatened to kill my siblings if i did but they doesn't fully explain this situation right now this all started around a week ago

-------- 1 week earlier ---------

Mum had gone to bed early not feeling well so i had just tucked maddy in to sleep with the help of james we headed back into the kitchen to have a hot chocolate but as we reached the door the smell of gasoline filled my nostrils and before i knew it i was slammed against the wall with someone holding my throat.

"YOU LITTLE SLUT YOU TOLD YOUR MOTHER NOW YOUR GONNA PAY" his eyes were pure black not a slight emotion showing

"T-t-t-told her what" i managed to get out his grip was getting tighter

"YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'VE DONE" he screams at me as he drags me and james away locking us in our room

I run over to the windows but the are locked, i try to breathe calmly but i can still feel his strong hands around my throat, james managed to calm me down but just as i was feeling slightly calm the smell of smoke drifted into the room.

"Sis can you smell that" james looked worried

"SHIT" i screamed as i jiggled the door handle

"We're gonna find a way out but you start explaining everything right the FUCK NOW" he says keeping as calm as possible

I start explaining the story of everything our father has done to me telling every little detail not letting a single tear. escape and just as i finish we manage to kick the door down but a massive flame fly's at us from the roof he quickly make his way to mums room while i run and get maddy  up, we race back over to james and try help but her doors engulfed in flames as we open the door the beam falls and lands on james

"Sis go get out you have to" he has tears in his eyes and there slowly dripping down his face

"I won't leave you" i say as i try lifting the beam i scream as another beam falls and sends me flying into the back wall and that's when everything went black

-------- present time --------------

I woke up to my brother in a coma, my mother and sister dead and my father getting away with the whole thing. I have third degree burns down my left side of my stomach and hip i have a huge cut across my head with stitches but it's just small enough i can use my hair to cover it, I was devastated to say the least my friends came in everyday to keep me company us all hoping for my brother to wake up. We have all been the best of friends for years so they loved being able to care for me but hated what happened.

The day i started on was the day they convinced me to go home just to see it and see if any of my stuff was left. All i know now is i will forever be scared of my father and of fire.

--------------------------------------------

The taxi ride was a short one that i was thankful for. Once we arrived i got out of the car and carry my suitcases into the airport, i also know i should go to the hospital or at least stay in town but i know if i don't go he will kill me so i board my plane tears threatening to spill but i remember the vow i made to myself never to cry again i have shed enough tears in my life. Thinking of my brother and my friends i plug my headphones in and listen to music as i watch the plane move faster and faster along the runway until we are flying through the air

When i woke up this morning... hell when i realized it was morning after another night of not sleeping i never thought it would be my last day in texas
