Penny and Victoria had abusive parents for 5 years. When their parents went to prison the sisters were sent to an orphanage for a year until they decided to run away.
What will happen when the 16 year olds find a house, a new school and friends, may...
"Just be careful!" I heard my mom call out from the kitchen. "Okay mommy!" I replied. Me and my sister Victoria walked out with our little brother Andy.
It was a sunny day in California. Nothing bad could happen, right? Wrong. We trod along the pavement back and forth all holding hands.
"I can't wait for our birthday party! I wonder what mom and dad will get us." I exclaimed "Finally 11 years old!" My sister said. We talked all way long.
15 minutes past. "Children come back now!" Our mother shouted from the balcony. Suddenly, we heard a car's tire screech. I jumped and immediately looked in that direction.
"Andy!" Victoria called. Confused, I stared at her as tears fell down her face. I began turning my head where she was looking. The image I saw will never get out of my head. Andy. He was there, on the road, covered in blood. I fell to my knees and cried. The driver turned around and sped down the road. Mom and dad flew out the door to Andy's corpse. I ran back inside into our room, hid under a blanket and covered my eyes with my hands and started to rock back and forth. I slowly fell asleep.
I woke up to see my parents drink and that's when the abuse began...
3 Years Ago - Victoria POV
I raced downstairs to the kitchen. I analysed the place and opened a cupboard. Pans. "Crap" I thought and shoved them aside. I took out my phone and dialed 911. "Hello? My sister! Sh-she's unconscious! Yes my are home. She's 13...." After I told the details I hung up. In exactly 9 minutes, the police and the ambulance arrived. My heart was pounding. The police handcuffed our parents. "It's your fault!" They yelled repeatedly.
1 Year Ago - Penny POV
"It's my fault... Everything because of me... It should've been me not Andy... " I cried as I slit my wrists. I listened and heard Victoria enter my room. My room? Destroyed. Why? Anger problems. "Penny! Where are you?!" Knocking. She burst through the bathroom door. I turned around to face the wall. "Penny..." She kneeled down next to me and hugged. "What happened?" she asked and wiped off my tears also taking the razor out my hand. She stood up and held out her arm towards me. I lifted my body and stood. "I'm going to the gym" I sighed but she stopped me. "I have a plan to run away from here"
Present - Penny POV
"Come on Victoria! We're gonna be late for our first day of school!" I shouted. I was ready for 10 minutes already and she is taking forever.

*What Penny Wore*
"Okay, okay I'm ready" She said as she walked into the kitchen.
"Ready for our first day of school?" I asked as I finished eating my apple.
