Laura's P.O.V//

The heat of the summer light streamed through my window. The morning was beautiful and outside the birds could be heard chirping. Sometimes I wish that I could be a bird. They're free to spread their wings and travel wherever they wish with not a worry in their mind.

This was the first day of summer and the official date that's schools finally over. Still tired from waking up I swung my legs over the side of my bead and lazily trudged towards my closet, and found an outfit to wear. I chose my normal style of black jeans with rips at the knees and a white band tank. I chose my black converse and then started towards my bathroom. I completed my usual routine of doing my teeth and washing up, then straightening my wild brunette hair. Today I decided to attempt winged eyeliner that went surprisingly well, I then applied a small amount of mascara to my top and bottom lashes. I've never been happy with the way I look.

When I stepped out of my door a loud crash filled my ears followed by what sounded like my brother Luke shouting. Me and my brother are two years apart in age I'm sixteen and my brothers eighteen. Although he acts like that's a massive difference treating me like a kid. As I stepped downstairs towards the kitchen I could hear the shouts getting louder. Luke was  arguing with our mum. I opened the door and both of them stopped and looked at me. "Laura go back upstairs." Luke's hands were bleeding and glass was shattered on our floor. Instead of leaving I stepped to Luke and pulled him to the sink cleansing his damaged hands. "What the hells going on down here?!" I asked but I got an answer from neither of them. Eventually my drunken mother spoke up "I got pregnant with two brats that's what happened." The arguments then risen again as Luke yelled "well maybe if you kept to yourself you wouldn't have us around! You chased dad away and now we're left with a drunken mess of a mother!" I set the first aid box I found down on the counter and gently wrapped his hands.

Mum has been like this since dad left. She goes and gets drunk, locks herself in her room or sometimes she doesn't come home at all. When she does she's either brought another man home or she's shouting at me and my brother. A while back she slapped Luke and I didn't see him for a week. She was never like this when dad was here. I was zoned out in my thoughts when Luke grabbed my arm and dragged me out of the kitchen and up to my room. "We're leaving." Luke rummaged around my room frantically pulling out my suitcase and placing it on my bed. He then pulled everything out of my closet and tried ramming it into the case. His face was red and his hands were shaky. "We can't just leave" I stated but he didn't seem to process that and he carried on, ruining the bandages I just pinned around his hands. "We'll go to dads in England and work things out from there." Dad is one of the best men you'll ever meet he's so kind and caring. The complete opposite of what my mums turned out to be. "We can't leave. I have school. You have a job, and what about your friends? The band? You work so hard to build up that band and now your going to leave?" My brother and his friends Ash, Cal and Michael created a band and they are always rehearsing for small gigs around Melbourne they're actually quite good. "We can have a fresh start there Laura. Can't you just see that this is for the best?!" Luke stormed out of my room slamming the door behind him. I decided I should pack what I essentially need because no way was he changing his mind. I know what he's like.

About half an hour later i heard a knock at my door and Luke was stood in the door frame with his suitcase in front of him. "I rang dad and he said we can stay. We'll get a plane to Heathrow in London and he'll take us to his from there." I know that mum could still have good inside of her and I don't want to leave that. "Don't you think we're moving a little fast?" I asked but Luke just grabbed my suitcase and pulled it downstairs along with his own.

He slammed the house keys in front of mum onto the counter and pushed past me out of the kitchen. He wasn't usually like this, usually Luke's the happy, bubbly and hyper one in the family. "Good riddance" mum mumbled under her breath, I reached down to give her hug and she seemed to just freeze. I started out of the kitchen towards the front door where Luke was waiting in a taxi outside. I looked at the small house one last time and stepped into the taxi. The engine roared to life and that was the last of my time for now in Melbourne.
