I stop. Panting, trying not to drink all my water. "we made it" I say to my sister. "no shit." she slightly rolls her eyes, I giggle ignoring her comment. I walk over to an abandoned bus. The one I found while searching for a place to hide. I thought this one was perfect since it was pretty far away and quite hidden. I drop my backpack right before my sister scolds at me. "no time to rest. We need to set this up so we can stay a couple nights." I roll my eyes enough for her to see. but I do what she says. I pick up my backpack, reach inside and start spraying my disinfectant. My sister starts getting all the leaves and twigs out. when its "clean" we both start to lay our blankets out. By the time I get to sit down its sun set. So I step out the bus and find a clearing in the trees. being able to see the beautiful orange sky as the sun is slowly starting to hide below the horizon. a slight smile peaks out. All i'm thinking is how extremely happy I am because me and my sister finally made it out of our abusive household. We finally made it. We are now free. barely feeling my legs I walk back to the bus and see my sister sitting there. She looks like she is about to cry. "why the hell are you crying? We made it. we can do ANY-" She cuts me off. rudely saying "what the fuck do we do now? We barley have any food, we are already running out of water, we only have around $1000." "why are u always looking at the negatives. we are Free. I feel like I can breathe for once. finally not worrying that dad will bust in drunk screaming at me because I forgot to switch the lights off in the hallway." she stares at me. like she saw a ghost. I turn around wondering what she is looking at. "Shit." I see my father staring at me, his eyes bloodshot red, his hair is a mess, and he has multiple stains on his old wrinkly shirt. I look back at my sister. She is gone? That moment I realized she ran off. she left me, fuck.
