All alone until I met him... (Crawford collins fanfic)

Sneak peek

Annabelle's POV

My name is Annabelle Parker Booknight. I'm 15. something special about me is my parents gave me up so I could have a better life. I lived with these abusive parents. they were nice until they became alcoholics because their real son William died. I have a older adoptive brother and a younger one. Ashton and Cason. Ashton is 16. Cason is 7.
Our parents were abusive. Ashton decided with me that we'd run away. We packed our clothes and took our golden retriever and bulldog with us. we broke into This old abandoned house and we stay there.
Today I went to Mrs. Collins house. I delivered eggs to her when I lived with my adoptive parents.

" Good morning Mrs. Collins." I say.
" Good morning Annabelle, Cason." she says.
" I came to tell you that we won't be delivering eggs anymore." I say.
" Annabelle I can tell something is wrong. what happened?" She says.
" Ashton, Cason, and I ran away. we got tired of the beatings." I say.
" Where are you staying?" She asks.
" This old abandoned house down the street." I say.
" You know you and your brothers can stay here." she says.
" Thank you. I'll go tell Ashton." I say.

Cason and I run back "home".

" Ash! Mrs. Collins is going to let us live with her!" Cason says.
" That's great!" Ash says.

We pack and leave.

" Mrs. Collins, I hope it's okay if Sadie and Buddy stay here." I say.
" Of course. I'm sure Bailey and Ryan would love Sadie to play with." she says.
" Buddy doesn't really play anymore. not after Will left." I say.

William was my brother. Twin brother. he was 15.
Chris, Crawford, and Karisma come in.

" Hey Annabelle!" Karisma says.
" Karisma!" I say.

We hug.

" Why are they here with stuff and the dogs?" Chris asks.
" Chris, they will be staying with us." Mrs. Collins says.
" I'm gonna take Sadie out." I say.

I take Sadie outside.

" Hey Bailey, Ryan." I say.

I throw the tennis ball to the dogs. after a few minutes I go back inside.

" Buddy!" I say.

Buddy comes up to me.

" Hey boy. Don't be sad okay. you will see Will soon. I miss him too. You, me and Sadie will be home soon. I promise. mama is coming for me." I say.

I don't notice Crawford. I'm crying.

" Why so sad?" He asks.

I turn around.

" H-how much did you hear?" I ask.
" Everything." he says.

I look down at Buddy. Crawford sits by me.

" Anna, I miss Will to. he was my best friend." Crawford says.
" You don't know what it's like! He was murdered!" I say.
" I was only trying to help." he says.
" Don't. just don't." I say.

I get up and go to Karisma's room.

" Anna?" She says.
" I'm fine." I say.

I lay down on her top bunk. Buddy comes in. he walks up to set of stairs that lead to the top bunk. he lays down.
I forgot to get Sadie. I go let Sadie in. she follows me and jumps up with Karisma. soon I fall asleep...

Short chapter. I know. that's just a sneak peek of what's to come.
