The day my life changed
Chapter 9
Seeing Hanna smile like that, i realized it had been the first time she's smiled properly in a long time. I had to get her away from this life, start a new one maybe. Our parents had died but that didn't mean our world had to be turned upside down. I couldn't take the bullying but for me it was only words, Hanna was getting punched and that was more than i could take.
I spent that night thinking up a plan. I needed to get a better job maybe if i had one that paid better i could get my family away from my beastly aunt. I'll do it in secret though i thought to myself and hide the money i get under one of the loose floorboards under my bed. I'll pretend i still work at the ice cream shop and give her the money i would have earned with that. Drake can get a job too, he can pretend he's got a band practice or whatever to get him out of here. Hanna can stay out of it. If i tell her my plan then she'll end up blurting it out if our Aunt picks on her. I smiled at the thought of the shock our Aunt will get when one day she wakes up and we'll all have left, just packed our bags and moved on.
And while i'm at all these new changes, i'll try going on a diet as well. Maybe even go on a run once in a while...
