Jenni to the right kara to the left

"GET DOWN HERE YOU TWO PIECES OF SHIT AND COOK ME BREAKFAST OR YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO WALK TO YOUR PRECIOUS SCHOOL,"yelled our'loving father' note the sarcasm. Well this is life.
           "Jenni  wake up. We have to cook Don breakfast or we'll get other bruises."As soon as she heard that she was already heading in the worn out  drawer to get her clothes for the day.
          I take ot my clothes  which are mainly  long sleeved  shirts  to hide my scars and jeans.I look  in the mirror to see my hard green eyes staring at me.I always  keep my face expressionless to hide the pain.I look at my sister  and notice how more beautiful she is than me. I mean am just plain and boring  my eyes are completely lifeless unlike my sister's that have a shine to them.
       Jenni is wearing a sleeveless slight cropped  pink shirt and washed high  waisted jeans with knee high leather boots I bought her.Yes you heard it right  I used to work but got fired when they found out that I'm too young to work but it was godd while it lasted.
         Jenni is very beautiful. She always believed it's better to smile through pain while i believed in hiding it .She could light a room  with her smile but  other times she was faking but hey we get through it .I'm also the quiet nerd and introvert  while jenni is the social bubbly one but sometimes sensitive.
           I know ur wondering why she can wear sleeveless things and i can't. Since am abused a little more than her ihave bruises in my arms. Don is smart only heits where no one can see.
        "Kara we have to go ,stop staring, "am brought out  of trance by my sister's sweet voice which is more like mum's. We walk out of our room or should isay basement (que the eye roll).As we head to the kitchen we are suddenly roughly yanked back by Don ." Make my food fast you worthless little whores.," he whisphers harshly in our ears then pushes us painfully  forward. I wince inaudibly as I remember my broken ribs .We quickly make breakfast and set it on the table and take our backpacks and started off to school. The silence was interrupted by Jenni.
       "K ,will our lives ever become better??,"she asked sofly tears pooling in her pretty eyes.Iwas forced to mature for my sister. When mom died ,I tried  everything to keep her safe .Until eventually  she  started doing some of them herself ."I don't know Jen but I'll try to make sure we'll be okay.Hang in there twin ,don't lose hope just yet .Everything  will turn up someday.Just pray." Isay softly squeezing her hand.
       We didn't know that our prayers  would be answered  soon.....
