Before we begin, let me introduce myself.
Hi, I'm Ellie, Ellie Hart.
I'm 10 years old, and I'm Maya's little sister.
Me and Maya are very close. She has always been there to protect me and care for me, when our dad, and mom too, couldn't. When I cried at night, she would come into my room and hold me tight until I stopped, and she stills does. She whispers as a cry into her neck " I got you baby"
You see our dad left 4 years ago, I was 6 and Maya was 11, she's 15 now, almost 16. I don't like talking about him that much, but he and I were inseparable. I thought he was an amazing father. He would play with me, throw me into the air, and make jokes with me, making me laugh till I cry.
But then, there was fighting, constant fighting. Me and Maya would escape to the Mathews, and we would all snuggle and watch a movie, forgetting about our worries.
Then one day he never came back from a trip to the grocery store.
I was furious, not at him, but at my mom.
"Where is He mommy??? Why won't you tell me where he is???" I would yell, crying to her, hitting her. She would just put up with it until maya dragged me away. From then on, every night maya would sleep with me.
I later learned the truth, that it wasn't my mommy's fault at all, but his.
But we both now have trust issues, we both now don't believe in hope. Maya would never tell me that it was going to be okay, because we both had no idea.
I But I guess you could say I'm a combination of Maya and Riley, her best friend.
I'm the funny one I guess, tough like my big sister, quirky like Riley. Zay and I get along really well as u might guess.
Riley is also like a big sister to me, caring and overprotective towards me the same way maya is.
Anyways I don't want it ramble too much on so let's just get into his story.
