Caleb's POV
I had just come home from my friend, Damon's house, we had lots of fun and we played all day long.
It is currently 17:18 but a 9 year old can't be out late, yah know!
As I close the door I see my twin sister, Cora, in the kitchen. I laughed at her. We went to the living room and watched "The Loin King" Cora's favourite movie.

A while later the credits were showing and we heard screaming.
I grabbed Cora's hand and held her close. Our parents were fighting again but this time my dad wasn't yelling back at my mom instead he came running down the stairs with a suitcase.
"You can't just leave!" Yelled my mother with tears running down her face. "Oh yeah? And who the fuck are you to stop me?!" My dad yelled so loud that it made me and Cora jump.
My mom was shocked as she stared at my dad speechless. He walk towards us and put a hand on my shoulder. "Go and pack your bags Caleb." He said as he looked at me completely ignoring Cora. "Bu-but dad-" " Now Caleb." He said cutting me off. I looked at the ground as I walked upstairs.
I packed pictures of me and Cora and some of mom and a few clothes in a backpack.
As I walked downstairs, my parents were arguing. "Devon, why did you tell my son to go and pack his bags?" Mom asked dad. "Because me and my son are leaving." He said like it was nothing.
Cora came to me and hugged me. "I'm gonna miss you." She said with glossy eyes. I could not bring myself to speak as the tears ran down my cheeks onto Cora's shoulder.
"Come on." My dad said but Cora and I ignored him and kept holding each other.
"You are not going anywhere near my children, Devon!" Yelled mom. "Get out of my way, Kimberly." Dad said in a very low voice that scared me to the bone.
"No!" Mom yelled which was shortly followed by the sound of skin on skin as mom held her cheek in pain. Dad shoved her aside and grabbed me and jerked me away from Cora. "I love you, sweety but daddy and Caleb have to leave now, Ok?" He said and kissed Cora on her forehead as he whipped away her tears. He got up and pulled me with him away from the only home i had every known.
"Caleb! Caleb!" I wanted to run back to my sister and hug her but my father shoved me into the car.
Cora ran to try and keep up with the car and I tried to open the window but it stayed closes so I put my face and hands against the glass watching my sister.
She was slowing down until she came to a stop as we drove up the road. I turned in my seat and watched as her frame became smaller and smaller until it was gone.
I sat back in my seat as the sound of the engine lulled me to sleep.
-•-
"Wake up ,my boy." I heard a deep voice say as I was being poked. I woke up and stretched. "Where are we dad?" I asked as we exited the car. "Wait before that i want you to meet someone." He said with a smile and entered a door that was infront of a massive house.
A beautiful white lady was next to my dad and his arm was over her shoulder. "Caleb, this is Wendy, your new mom." He said excitedly "And this is your new home!" He said with the biggest grin I have ever seen.
A little girl around my age walked in like she owned the place. "This is Tracey your new sister!" Then my mind thought about Cora. I looked at my father with wide eyes.
"You must be so tired. You had a long day. Let me show you to your room." The lady i mean Wendy said and put her hand out for me to take it. She lead me up three floors and down the hall to the fourth room on the left.
I looked at her and she smiled at me and nodded towards the door. I looked at the door and finally opened it. It was my dream bedroom with lots of toys and even more space than I would now what to so with.
I threw my bag down and ran to the bed and dove face first into the pillows. I heard Wendy's girly giggle as she walked towards the bed. I took of my shoes and hot under the covers.
"Good night, Caleb." She said as she tucked me into bed and walked out closing the door behind her.
My eyes became very heavy and just as they were about to close.
" Caleb! Caleb!"
I heard Cora's voice in my mind and shot up in the soft bed.
"Don't worry. Dad's gonna go get her and mom tomorrow."
I thought trying to ease myself and my eyes finally closed as I drifted of to sleep.
Little did i know i would be telling myself that lie for the next nine years...
