Chapter One
Temari's POV
Hello, my name is Temari no Sabaku. At the moment I am home alone. My brothers are still at school for tutoring and my father is out and about doing whatever the hell he usually does at this time of day. I'm listening to an old Green Day album on our about busted up stereo system and watching the dishes at the same time. Swaying my hips in time with music I mentally forget about life itself and fell into my overrated fantasy about me in a band and instead of the song blaring from the speakers belonging to Green Day it belonged to me. I wrote it. I've always dreamt about being in my own rock band. Standing over a crowd that's chanting my name and echoing back the lyrics I'm practically screaming into the microphone. I laughed out loud not meaning to. I was having fun.
I don't really have friends to hang out with after school…or even at school period. People think I'm weird. I am anti-social and pretty shy. I mean no I didn't start out that way. I was once a fun, loud, and cheery person…But once the death of my mother came along everything changed. I became very quiet and didn't want people around me. I was blamed and shunned from my own family. The only ones I had to talk to were my brothers. They were the only ones who accepted me.
As the dirty dishes finally came to an end the doorbell rang. I already knew who it was. Gaara and Kankuro. I dried my hands and turned the music off. Opening the door revealed my two brothers. One with smirk on his face and the other emotionless like always. I smiled at them as I stepped aside and let them in.
"How was studying?" I asked. "Do you guys finally understand Biology?"
Kankuro shrugged and clasped on the couch as Gaara answered with. "Well, I do. I don't know much Kankuro though."
I gave the brunette a look. "What?!" he snapped.
"Kankuro you know that father doesn't like us having bad grades." I said.
"Temari, you know I don't like learning from anyone else but you." He shot back. "I don't know why you're forcing us to go to tutoring after school every day when you can teach us instead."
"Kankuro." Gaara warned.
"No, Gaara!" He stood up from his position on the couch and got in my face. "All of a sudden Temari doesn't have time for us, haven't noticed that Gaara?!"
I looked towards my red headed little brother. He avoided eye contact. That meant he agreed.
"Kankuro calm down." I begged.
His face was gradually got more and more red with every word he shouted at me. "No Temari! I want you back. I'm tired of you telling us do things without you and barley seeing you throughout the whole entire goddamn day!"
"It's not easy to explain."
"We got all day Temari." Gaara finally chipped in. "I'm worried about you too Temari. You used to take us out to eat and go to the movies every Friday. Help with homework and just simply hang out with us. You don't do that anymore. Even if we remind you about it you'd say you're too tired or you're not in the mood or do it by yourself. We're at the point where you're not in our lives anymore. And if you think that were fine without you Temari, you're terribly wrong. We can't live without you Temari. You're the closest thing to a mother we got."
The room went silent for a moment until all you heard was me slowly sobbing till I hit a full outcry. I didn't know my brothers thought me that way. And to finally hear what I am to them even though I'm pushing them away breaks my heart. I'm only doing this to keep them safe. Kankuro's arms slowly circled around me as I repeatedly softly said I was sorry. Gaara came from behind and tapped my back awkwardly. I understood for he was never one to comfort people. This moment lasted a good five minutes and I will cherish it deeply forever and will never forget who came and ruined it.
Suddenly I heard the garage door opening signaling that our father was home. And boy was that not a good thing. I jumped off of Kankuro's chest and pushed Gaara off my back. They looked at me completely confused as I began to quickly pick their backpacks off the floor and clear the room of any evidence that they were even here.
"Temari what are you doing?" Kankuro asked.
That's when I realized that they were still here. "You guys have to leave now!" I shouted as I pushed them out the door. I totally forgot about my father. "Go!"
They were at the door when my father appeared beer bottle in hand and anger written all over his face.
"Temari!" I could smell the alcohol in his breath from here. Quickly before my brothers could say anything I mouthed the word sorry and slammed the door in their face. They tried to open it back up with the knob but I locked the door. Before I could turn around my father's beer bottle slammed into the wall next to my head and my hair was yanked back until I was slammed to the ground where the glass remains of the beer bottle pierced through my skin and I was being dragged away from the front door that held muffled screams and banging that blared on the other side. Tears stained my face quickly.
The reason why I slowly began to push my brothers away was because every afternoon my father would beat me. For years now he has and before it was pretty easy to keep it a secret because my brothers were pretty clueless. But now that their getting older their starting to notice my bruises and the cuts and that would mean I would have to lie and say something happened in P.E. today or something. And I honestly hate lying to them. I would've told them a long time ago if I could…but, that wouldn't be the greatest idea. You see, if I had done that my father would have separated my brothers away from me and from each other to a foster home as I would stay here practically to be considered a slave under my father's thumb.
I didn't want to put my brothers in that situation….but looks like they're already in too deep. I wouldn't doubt that they couldn't hear my crucial screams from my father slamming me against the wall and smacking me around. Punching me, kick me back down as my arms and legs begged to get back up.
"WHAT DID I TELL YOU, HUH?" He screamed. "YOU JUST COULDN'T KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT YOU LITTLE WHORE!"
He ended the sentence with a big smack across my face. Blood was seeping through my lips and my body could barely move off the floor anymore. My clothes were now ripped and stained with blood from my new wounds. I probably had a black eye and my stomach may have finally gone purple from all the harsh kicks he swung at me. My father glared an evil glare down upon me… he always did when my hair was down because when my hair is down I look like my mother. That's why I keep my hair up. Because when it's down… bad things happen…like now.
Grabbing me by my hair again he dragged me up the stairs and to the bedroom... where I lost my virginity against my will.
I woke up to bed underneath me raddling me and jumbing me around. I groaned and open to find it not a bed at all it was the backseat of my father's car. I shot up in panic thinking that my father was driving me away.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!"
A strong hand slammed against my chest and forced me down back against my seat. "Temari its just us! Calm down!"
Calming down and really looking around I saw that Kankuro was driving and Gaara facing me with worry taking over his face. What the hell is going on? My heart felt as if it was beating out of my chest.
"Wh-...what are you-...where are we?"
"Temari, its okay. After we finally broke into the house we fought off Dad, took you, and...and I don't know where the hell we're going but I know its somewhere far away and safe." Kankuro explained.
"We're running away?" I said in disbelief.
"Yes." Gaara said. "Now, why didn't you tell us sooner? We could've help for God's sake! Temari, what the hell is wrong with you!"
"I could'nt tell you- I mean I wasn't allowed to or something bad would have happened to all of us!"
"And what would that be?! Huh, Temari!"
The secret was out so I might as well just tell them. "A while back Dad threatened me that if I was to tell anyone he would seperate all of us. Send you two to different foster homes and keep me here and do god knows what to me. I was trying to keep you guys safe thats why I pushed you guys away. I'm sorry."
The ride became dead quiet quickly which gave me the time take a look at myself and the time. I was covered in Kankuro's robe and was wearing Gaara's 'Three Days Grace' T-shirt and boxers. My legs were covered in cuts and brusies along with my arms. My hair was a down and in a mess. I probably had terrible bags under my eyes. I felt as if my stomach was about to cave in if I didn't eat anything soon. And at the moment it was 12:06.
" Okay... That makes sense." Kankuro said finally understanding.
"But honestly where do you guys plan on going?"
"We'll find an apartment the next town over and-"
"Do you guys honestly think we can servive alone?"
"We've been doing that practically all our lives." Gaara pointed out.
"Yeah, but we had dad around to pay the bills and actual roof over our heads. And lets not forget an education. How are we going to survive when you guys are still too young to get a job, we can't live with only me working. And secondly, how can I work in this condition? We would have rent to pay, groceries to buy, and how are we going to pay for school? Did you guys forget about that?"
Kankuro glared as he pulled over to the side of the road and Gaara sighed in defeat. "Okay, you got a point there." Gaara said.
"Then what do you want us to do?" Kankuro snapped.
They were faced towards the front of the car when I noticed handcuffs in the glove compartment and two empty beer bottles in the back next to me. This gave me an idea. There was no way we could survives by ourselves and if we tried I would put them in danger because if our father finds us not only would I be in serious danger so would my brothers. The only choice is foster home. We would have a better chance that way to have a good family. Gaara and Kankuro would stay together in one and I would go to another to make sure were at a save distance from each other. I just want to make sure their safe. Thats all I want. So... that what I did.
Knowing that they wouldn't go with this plan so easily I quickly grabbed the two empty beer bottles and knocked them out at the same time. Moving them to the backseat I moved to the front and drove to the nearest foster home. I wrote a note explaining to give them away to a good family and/or person and make sure they stay on their best behavior. I didn't give them any last names and I didnt give them my name either. When I was done I set the note next to where they layed, handcuffed them together, then handcuffed Kankuro to the post to make sure if they woke up before anyone found them they wouldn't runaway. I was drench in tears when I drove away and it hurt me so badly to leave them. I really didn't want to do this but, I knew this was for the best.
Soon enough I was two blocks away from the next foster home so I walked the rest. Seeing that the lights were on inside I knocked on the front door of mynew life no matter how many tears I cried.
