Chapter 1
*Rosealie*
It was a regular Saturday night at our house. Me and my sister, Bella, are sitting in our bedroom just talking about nothing in-particular. Our house is in downtown charlestown w.v and doesn't really consists of much just two small bedrooms, one bathroom, a living room, and a kitchen. Me and my sister share the bedroom right beside the kitchen. Our mother has the one next to the living room. The streets are usually to crazy at night to go out so Bella and I stay indoors at nights. I'm sitting on my bed in our room and so is Bella while we are talking. "Rose do you think mom will be home anytime tonight?" Bella asked getting up off my bed and going over to hers to lay down. I figured she would ask this question because it's already one in the morning and she still is not here. I don't really think she will be home and if she does she will most likely bring one of her many men home with her.
But I can't tell her this because she worries about her no matter what she does to us. Not me I couldn't care less about Vicky. " I'm sure she well probably stay at one of her friends house so that she doesn't have to drive home." I tell her to ease her worries. She doesn't say anything so she must be asleep. I turn over on my stomach to go to sleep. Then Bella says something again " do you ever think about leaving this place and going somewhere else?" Bella asked. I have thought about many times but every time I get ready I think about Bella, and I don't go anywhere. So I answer the best I can. " Yeah Bella but I could never leave you unless something really terrible happens. If that ever happens I'll make sure you are alright. No matter what happens I'll always love you." I said honestly. "Pinky promise?" she asked holding out her pinky. I turn over and put my pinky around hers and say" I promise." Bella smiles and turns over to go to sleep. I do the same and I start thinking about our mom.
Ever since I could remember she has stayed out all night and did things that I don't really think are mom appropriate. When she is home she is drunk or high and with some creepy guy. I don't really know why are dad left. Our mom never talks about back then. All that I know is that his name is Richard Taylor, and he left right after Bella was born. Of course I don't remember him because I was only three at the time. I only wish that he never left because our life's might have been better if he hadn't. But he must not have loved us if he left. So I have to get the thought that he might come walking threw the door, and our mom would quiet drinking and parting and our life's would just be great. That is never going to happen. Anyway what kind of man leaves his wife and kids. Maybe he is not even worth meeting. I just have to deal with life as it has been for the last fourteen years. That is when reality becomes my dreams or you would call them nightmares.

I wake up to the sounds of Bella's sobbing coming from the kitchen. My instincts take over and I jump out of bed and rush to the kitchen. When I get there I see Bella curled up in a ball with her head on her knees crying. I slide next to her and put my arms around her and she cuddles up next to me. I just sit there holding her until her breathing slows and the tears are not streaming down her cheeks quiet as fast as they were. " What happened?" I ask looking down at her red swollen face. "M..m..mom got home a..an..and she had a guy with h..her she said I better not get in her way. Then she slapped me just because I was taking too much time in the kitchen." she said finally able to talk without studding. I hold her tighter and ask" where are they now?" I ask. "In the bedroom." Bella said.
Well they would be in there for a few hours then the guy would slip out before my mom could notice. They always did,nothing different about this one. "How about you go in our room and then if you want to we could go get something to eat at the dinner you like. "I say hoping that it would get her mind off the whole "mom" thing. She looks up at me and says" Ok I'll be ready in twenty minutes." Bella gets up and goes to our room as the phone rings. I get myself off the floor and walk over to the phone on the stand beside the t.v. " Hello' I say into the phone wondering who could be calling at, I glance at the clock on the wall in the kitchen and find that it is nine o'clock. "Hello this principle Carter calling from River View High School. Is Rosealie there? Because we have some very important new to inform her with." a familiar voice says on the other end of the phone. "Why is he calling? "This is she.' I say nervously. " Oh, hello Rosealie I just wanted to tell you that we sent in your transcripts to Kingston Academy and they want you to come to their school." he said. " What! I've never heard of that school before?" I say shocked that any school would want me. I know that I have great grades because I don't really have any friends to distract me from not doing my work at school.
But still this is amazing. "Well it's in Tenasee but it is a full scholarship so money is no problem." I can't go no matter how good of a school it is I can't leave my sister especially now. "I'm sorry but I can't accept. But thanks for doing this for me Mr. Carter I really appreciate the offer." I say sadly. "Rosealie you can think more about the offer and ask your mom about it. You really shouldn't pass up a opportunity like this." he said. I agree to think about but I'm never gong to tell my mom she would tell me to leave and that she didn't care what I did as long as I stay out of her way. "Bye" I say hanging up and went into our bedroom. "Who was that." Bella says from the closet. "No one." I tell her cause it doesn't matter I'm not going there is no reason to make her sad for me. I decide to skip my shower just in case moms "friend " is in there and go to my closet to pick out my clothes for the day. I come out with blue jeans, white t-shirt and a pair of black converses. That is about all that I really have is jeans and t-shirts. But I'm okay with that I've dealt with this for my entire life.
I look in the mirror our dresser and brush my hair. I glance over when I hear Bella coming out of the closet. Wow, I think studying my sister, we look a lot alike. Our hair is the same dark auburn color. But mine is curled in ringlets down to the middle of my back, and hers is straight and to her shoulders. We both have bright green eyes that must come from our dad. I'm also taller but that is to be excited because I'm seventeen and she is fourteen so I'm a little more developed in some areas. As for our personalities we are completely different. Bella actually has friends and I don't. Most of the time at school I bring my lunch in to the library and study. Kind of dorky I know but I'm just shy. Bella is way more outgoing which I've always envied. And as for guys were also different. I for one like a guy to be sweet, funny and has a brain.
No jocks for me they all have no brains and they are always chasing after girls who have blond hair and big boobs. They just irritate me. My sister on the hand likes all different kinds of guys, and I do mean all she dates jocks, geeks, and drop outs. Not that she is a slut or anything she has never did anything before with any guy. Which is a good thing considering her age. As for me I have never even been on a date before. Also I've never even really made-out with a guy. And I'm seventeen. How sad is that? "What are you staring at Rose. Is it the scratch on my face because I thought I covered it up with makeup" Bella starting to freak out because no one knows our mom hits us every once in a while." No I was just thinking is all.
Don't worry Bella your face looks perfect. You can't even see the scratch." I tell her and watch as her face relaxes. She smiles when she says" Are you ready cause I'm really hungry." I'm starting to get a little hungry myself I just don't really like going to the dinner. There is always kids from school there and they always look past me as if I weren't even there. But I force a smile for my sisters sake because I feel responsible for what happened to her. She should not have to face mom by herself. Stop thinking and just go, I tell myself." Yeah I'm ready but we have to be back early cause I need to study "I say which makes me think of the offer I just received." You study to much Rose you need to have more fun." Bella says as we quietly walk to the front door. Maybe Bella is right I probably could use some more fun in my life but not right now.
