Deepest Cut

I felt the rain pound down harder frequently looking back to check on Carly her light brown hair turning a dark chocolate. She had on my jacket being how she didn't bring her's, We've been out here for at least to weeks. Occasionally stopping to take care of my little sister treating the bruises and scrapes my father left after we did.

I took out the gauze from my suitcase and set her on the case, rolling up her shirt a little showing the gash on her stomach I bit off the tab of the gauze and took off the gauze on her stomach replacing them with the new ones. A horn honked, then a bus came to a stop. I tied off the bandage as the door on the bus opened.
"Hey let me help." A voice said, zipping up my case, I looked up and then let my eyes widen.
"Guys off the couch." Another voice said, A man with medium black hair came off the bus I watched as he picked up my sister and vanished into the bus, A hand fell on my shoulder.
"Hey whats your name?" I was too dazed to respond then the hand lightly shook me.
"Whats your name?" It asked again.
"Myka........" Was all I could manage, I looked at the man belonging to the hand and realizing I've been saved, but I couldn't tell for sure. Even though me and my sisters savior was one we always listened too...... Of Mice & Men.
"Myka. C'mon we need to get on the bus, You could help figure something out C'mon." Austin said taking my hand and leading me onto the bus.
Warmth wrapped around me like a security blanket, Alan handed me a beach towel and a water bottle and Tino watched over Carly as she fell asleep.
"Guys this is Myka....." Austin said sitting beside me,
"Myka..... Darling can you tell us why you were out there on the side of the road?" Phil asked, kneeling in front of me.
"Uuh." I whispered, Austin looked at me puzzled.
"I'm out here for a better life." I whispered, Alan pursed his lips.
"Okay well are you going to Cali?" Alan asked, I nodded lightly looking at my sister.
"Why is your sister hurt?" Austin asked taking my hand and rubbing light circles on it.
Dazed still i looked for the answer, Almost loosing my breath.
"She fell........ When we left." I lied, and seemed to be pretty good at it because they left it alone afterwards. Though Austin still sat beside me, Even let me rest my head on his shoulder and lightly drift to sleep.

Sleep, The thing i couldn't have done for two weeks always looking after my younger sister. Like my mother told me. Before she left us with my alcoholic father.
Lucky for us I had the idea of running away and going to California. Eventually selling the guitar I had with me and making a new life for Carly and Me.
The only question now is:
Will it work?
