Chapa woke up to a tugging at her fingers.
"Chapa?"
The little voice said quietly. Chapa sat up and pulled Chloe onto her lap.
"What's wrong Chloe?"
Chloe cried into Chapas chest, muttering something.
"Chloe you need to relax."
Chloe relaxed and looked Chapa in the eyes.
"I can't sleep. I had a dream that Mommy left, and never came back. But when I looked in her room, she was gone. Her car is gone too."
Chapa picked Chloe up onto her hip and carried her to her mothers room. The room was empty. Chapa looked at the Coo Coo Clock. It was 3 am. Chapa rushed downstairs with a crying Chloe on her hip, and searched everywhere. Nothing. Their mother was gone. Chapa kissed Chloe's forehead and bounced her sister on her hip. Chapa locked all the doors and windows, and carried Chloe back to her room. Chapa grabbed a duffel bag, and put the few clothes her sister had, a couple of blankets, and two of her three teddy bears. Chapa gave Chloe the Boo Boo Pew Pew teddy Harper had given her, the night she was abused. Chloe gripped it tightly, and held onto Chapas hand, as Chapa packed her stuff into her duffel bags.
"Sleep in my bed tonight."
Chloe nodded and climbed in.
"Night night Chapa. I love you."
Chapa smiled as she kissed her sisters forehead.
"I love you too Chloe. Try to get some sleep."

Chapa ran into SwAG, out of breath.
"Chapa! You're late!"
Ray said.
"I know. I had to drop Chloe off at school."
Harper turned around.
"I thought your Mom did that?"
Chapa groaned as she sat down.
"I'll tell you later, Harp."
Harper smiled and nodded as Ray went off about something Chapa could care less about. Then, her phone rang.
"Hold on. I have to take it. It's my Mom."
Ray nodded as Chapa went outside.
"Hey Mom. What's up I'm in class."
Where's Chloe.
"At school. Why?"
No she's not. I got a call saying she never showed up. Now where is Chloe.
Chapa started panicking.
"I don't know. I just got to school late because I dropped Chloe off at school since I had to sign her in."
Chapa grew anxious.
I could care less about you. You have an hour to find your sister. Or you will regret it for the rest of your rotten, little life.
"Yes Ma'am."
Chapa hung up and ran inside.
"We need to transform."
Ray looked over.
"Why?"
Chapa started to freak out.
"Chloe left school."
Everyone started to freak out, when there was a small knock on the door.
"Intruder Alert. Intruder Alert. Small girl."
Chapa opened the door, to reveal Chloe, with her clothes all torn, and her face red. Chapa picked up Chloe and held her tight.
"Chloe? Why are you not in school?!"
Chloe sniffled.
"The 3rd graders made fun of me and hurt me when I went to the bathroom after you dropped me off."
Chapa brushed Chloes short hair that rest in her face, away. She rested Chloes head on her shoulder and bounced her.
"How did you escape?"
Chapa asked as Chloe sniffled.
"The bathroom window."
Chapa nodded as Chloe held tightly onto her arm.
"It's okay. I got you Chloe."
Harper walked up beside the two girls and rested her hand on Chloes cheek. Harper looked down with a tear in her eye.
"You poor little thing."
Harper took Chloe from Chapa so she could call her Mom.
Have you found your sister?
"Yeah. She came to my school because she was being bullied by third graders. Her clothes ar-"
I dont care about what happened. Just take care of her. I'm working.
Chapa hung up and walked back in. Everyone played with Chloe, who giggled and squealed. Chapa picked Chloe up and locked eyes with her.
"I need you to be good for a few hours. Mom can't take you home because she's working."
Chloe nodded as everyone sat back down, and listened to Schwoz talk about science. They had to be careful because of Chloe.
Chloe sat quietly on Chapas lap. Harper ran a brush through Chloes knotted hair. Harper walked to the tube and went to her bedroom. She found and old dress, that had butterflies on the skirt, and a blue glitter top.
"Come here Chloe. Let's get you into a dress."
Harper picked Chloe up onto her hip, and took Chloe to the bathroom to change. Chapa got up and followed Harper.
"Dang. Kids are harsh these days."
Miles said shaking his head.
——————-
Chapa held Chloes hand as they walked home.
"I'm sorry I left school, Chapa."
"It's okay Chloe. But Mama isn't gonna be very happy."
"I know."
The two sisters walked into the house, where their drunk, high mother stood, holding a belt.
"Chloe. Your first."
Chloe looked over to Chapa, who had worry written all over her face. Chloes arm was grasped as she was pulled towards the basement
"Go to your room Lula."
Chapa nodded and ran up to her room, trying to ignore the wails of her little sister. Chapa called Harper, who quickly answered.
Hey babe! What's up?
"M-My Mom is hurting Chloe. I need someone to talk too."
Aww Chapa. I'll be over in five. Well, I won't. But someone else might if you know what I mean.
"No! You can't Harper! My Moms going on a trip for a week. So she leaves tonight. Then maybe Harper can come?"
Alright Chapa. Try to relax okay. I promise you that if you close your eyes, it'll all be over soon.
"Thanks Harp. Love you."
Love you too.
Chapa laid on her bed, and closed her eyes. Soon enough, Chapa heard the front door slam, and knocking on her window. Chapa walked over to see Girl Danger at her window.
"What are you doing here dressed like that!"
Chapa whispered.
"Sorry I was fighting a robbery on the way over. Didn't have time to change."
Chloe limped in and smiled widely, as she clutched onto Boo Boo Pew Pew.
"Girl Danger!"
She said happy as she ran into Harpers arms. Harper scooped up Chloe and rested her on her hip.
"Hey Chloe. How are you doing."
Chloes small smile fated away.
"Not so good."
Harper frowned as she sat on Chapas bed and held Chloe in a hug.
"Tell me everything that happened today."
Chloe nodded.
"So Chapa dropped me off at school today, and I went to the potty before going to class, and the third graders were picking on me because of the way I dress, and say that my hair is short and that I look like a boy. So I escaped out of the bathroom window and went to Chapas school. It was fun there because everyone is nice there. They all love me. I got to play with Harper. She's Chapas girlfriend. I think. Only because Mika was saying things that made Harper turn pink! I wanna turn pink! I love pink! Then Harper gave me a dress to wear. It's a little bit long, but I love it. I'm gonna wear it to school tomorrow. Then me and Chapa came home and Mama was mad and punished me."
Harper wanted to laugh, but kept a strict face the whole entire time.
"If those third graders go to school with a black eye, well, I'm probably for blame."
Chloe laughed as she wiggles off of Harpers lap.
"Im gonna get dinner!"
Chloe said running out of the room.
"It's in the fridge."
Chapa called out. Chloe waved to Chapa as she skipped down the stairs. Harper changed into her clothes, and stared at Chapa, who fiddled with her fingers.
"Hey beautiful."
Chapa looked over and smiled.
"Hey gorgeous."
The two blushed. Chapa rested her head against Harpers shoulder.
"I love you."
Harper whispered, afraid of Chloe hearing.
"I love you too."
Harper laid back against Chapas pillow, and Chapa cuddled up to her side.
"Just for an hour."
Harper whispered softly.
"Okay Harp."
