Unknown Truths

Chapter 1

Skylar

College just started and having the change of scenery is welcoming. My life growing up was hell. I hated every minute of it. The only time I almost enjoyed myself was when I went to school, but even there it was hell. It was the bullies at school or my drunk abusive father at home.

My mother died in a car accident when I was 10. I was in the car and happened to survive. She went through the window, she died on site. I still remember everything from that night. That was the night my life went straight to hell. My father would come home drunk every night. Around one year later he lost his job because of his addiction and it got worse. My father started to abuse me and rape me every chance he got. I was only 11 when this happened. I wanted to tell but he threatened my little brother, Nate. Nate is 1 year younger than me. He wasn't going to let me go to college, but I saved over ten thousand dollars to use between me and my brother. One night when my father was out, we ran. We now live in New York.

Back to the present

As I am working on my freshman year of college at NYU, Nate is finishing his senior year of high school. We rented a little apartment for the both of us. We both work so that we don't end up on the street. We are doing just fine on our own. I am studying pre-med. Nate wants to study law when he gets to college.

As you can guess I don't have many friends because I fled from home. When I first got to college I was lost. With my love for school because I didn't want to be home, I was a straight A student and scored high on both my ACT and SAT, so I got a scholarship from the college because of my academics. I can only hope that Nate can get a scholarship from NYU as well so that we don't work twice as hard for his career, but either way we will always find a way and always have.

The bond between me and Nate is something that you don't see in many siblings. We will protect each other and help each other if ever needed. We made a stupid little pact when our bastard father started abusing us, that if either one of us get like that, that the other turns us in. Neither of us want to turn out like our father. Every night after work we go to a gym and do our combat training. We started the combat training 2 years ago. We know 5 different styles of combat; karate, kung Fu, jujitsu, taekwondo, and kickboxing. I know 4 languages; English, German, Russian, and Italian. Nate knows 4 as well; English, Spanish, German, and Russian.

"How was school today?" I asked Nate.

"It was interesting, I tried out for the football team and made the team. I've already got a few friends. How about you?" He replied

"Boring, I made a friend today though. Her name is Brooke. She wants me to go to a party on Friday after classes. I don't know if I should go though."

"You should go. You deserve to live a little. I'll be fine, I promise."

"What will I wear, remember we came with almost nothing."

"We can go shopping, right now we can afford it and we need some more clothes."

"Ok fine we will go tomorrow before we go train. Anything else interesting?"

"No, but I've already got homework, so let's get home. I need to get it done before I have work. I'll be done with work at 10 and we can go to the gym then."

"Ok, sounds like a plan."

30 minutes later

"I have work in 30 minutes, I'll see you tonight." I told Nate, "meet me at the gym, just bring your training clothes with you to work in a duff bag"

"Ok, see you at the gym. Love you sis!" He replied as I walked out the door. He never goes without saying I love you to me. I think he's afraid he'll lose me.

25 minutes later

When I got to work it wasn't too busy. I at a bakery as an assistant manager. I don't know how I got promoted so fast, but the pay is good. Its 3 PM and I am working till close at 9:30 PM so I won't get off till around 10 PM. I just hope today goes somewhat quickly, I need to blow off some steam.
