Ambers' POV

My name is Amber Jones. I live in London, a busy city. I have a sister named Caitlin, she's always been there for me since my Mom and Dad fight all the time. My Mom died one day after a fight with Dad. My Dad was sad and kicked me out, with my sister.

Flashback

"You bitch go buy me more alcohol!"He screamed at my Mom while me and Caitlin were watching on top of the stairs. "You already had enough! Alcohol is bad to you!"My Mom screamed at my Dad worried. "Get me alcohol you slut!"He screamed back at my Mom. "Ok, ok."She said crying and getting out of the house to buy alcohol. She had to drive there. "I hope Mom is gonna be ok."I whispered to Caitlin. "Me too."She said. During this, I am 14 and Caitlin 18, she's the older sister.  After a while, Dads' phone buzzed and Dad picked it up. Dad started crying and dropped the phone. "No, no!!! I have to tell Amber and Caitlin."He said. We quickly went inside our room and pretended to be busy. I pretended to practise playing guitar and Caitlin pretended to read her college homework. Dad burst in. "Girls, Mom is dead!"He screamed at us crying. Me and Caitlin looked at each other, our eyes watery and quickly hugged. At least we have each other. "Get out of my house."Dad said still crying and angry. "Why?"Caitlin asked him. "Now."He said squizzing his teeth in anger. We quickly got our clothes and packed our things. We quickly got out the house and we were alone in the dark, homeless.

END of Flasback

Now we're here in an alley, cuddling to be warm. Only 3 minuts have passed since Dad kicked us out and we're already looking like we've been homeless for 3 years. I felt my stomach roar in hunger. "Have any food?"I asked Caitlin."Sadly, no. We'll have to look in the garbage."She said sighing. I slightly hit my head against the wall sighing. "Disgusting,  but I'll do anything for food right now."I said and went to look in the garbage which was 1 meter away form me. I opened it and there was all kind of junk. "I have to do it."I whispered to my self. I put my hands in to look for food. I found a half eaten sandwhich and took it. "Caitlin, do you want food?"I asked her and she shook her head. I sat down next to her and took a bite of the sandwhich. I quickly spilled it. "Ewww, it's disgusting!"I slightly screamed. "It's the only thing we have for food."She said. Then realization hit her. "Wait, I brought a chocolate."She said and searched in her bag for it. She found it and gave it to me. "Thank you."I said and opened it. I ate it.

I woke up to Caitlin nudging me. "What?"I asked as I woke up. "I found two train tickets for Suffolk."She said. "Yes! At least there are not too many hooligans there."I said smiling. We hugged. "Come on, we have to catch the train at 1:30 and now it's 1:26, the train station is two blocks away."She said. I quickly got up and got my stuff. We ran to the train station and gladly the train was there. We went inside and found sit next to each other. On the next station a ginger haired boy sat on the seats opposite of us. We arrived at Suffolk after a couple of hours and we got up our seats to leave. The ginger boy got up too so I guess he was going at Suffolk too. He was really pale and he seemed to be around my age. We exited the train. "Ok, let's find an alley."I told Caitlin and she nodded. We found a good alley 4 blocks away. "Here looks good."She told me. I put out my clothes that I don't like and put them on the floor to make it a bed or just a place for me to sit. I sat down to sleep for a bit, I got nausea from the train. "I'm gonna find a job."Caitlin said and I nodded. My new life is going to be different.
