“As far away from this place as possible, obviously. Hopefully, I never have to come back.” When Axel turned to look at her, she could see that his cheek had turned alarmingly red where their father had hit him.

“You always said you cared the most about our brothers and me. So if this is our home, then it’s your home too. How could you just never come back again?” Alyssa asked, holding onto her brother’s hand. Her heart hurt so deeply.

Alyssa nodded slowly, suddenly feeling like crying.
