Chapter one

Bo lived her life moving from one disaster to the next, disappointment after disappointment, living to survive, the only thing that made it worthwhile was Kenzi. Today was just like any other day, or so Bo thought, though she was unaware that this was the day her life was going to change.

Bo and Kenzi, the 'dynamic duo' as kenzi likes to call them practically squat in a semi derelict house, one without whole walls although they manage to have running water, gas and electric. They live out of suitcases with not many possessions encase they need to get out of there without much notice. Hard childhood's brought the two ladies to this point in their life, with no money, no family and no hope all they have is each other.

The Beginning

Bo started out like any other child with two loving parents that is until her father walked out on her and her mother at the age of 6 and then her mother turned to the bottle. For a long while Bo had to take care of herself, and her mother, that was until a concerned neighbour finally called social services. For the next 10 years she bounced around in the system, going from foster home to foster home, never settling somewhere, with no one as a constant, no one to love and no one to love her back. At 16 Bo landed at her final foster home, the McKinney's.

Greg and Pam McKinney fostered many kids over the years, they did not foster to take care of unprivileged children, they did it to get the money for taking care of them even though a minuscule fraction of the money they were given ever actually went to the kids they fostered. Greg was tall, greasy and had a total disregard for personal hygiene and Pam had long scraggly hair and hairs growing from her chin.

When Bo arrived there were already three other foster kids under their watch. When the social worker pulled up outside the house with Bo he tried his best to look optimistic about this new family despite knowing full well that Bo's history has her staying here for 6 months to a year.

"Bo, you need to make the most of this one, there will be three other kids there, its better than some of the other family's you've gone into"

Trick, Bo's social worker, was the only constant she had in her life from the age of 10 when they first met, he wished that this home be her last until she turned 18 and could be in charge of herself and have to answer to no one, because he knew all too well that Bo doesnt deal well with authority and rules.

"Trick, I've known you for 6 years now and every family I go into you tell me it will be better than the last, but they're all shit" Bo said with sad eyes and an angry heart.

All trick could do was sigh because he knew what the brunette was saying was true. None of the homes she went too were any good for a young girl like Bo. They wondered up to the house and they couldn't help but notice the complete lack of care of the front garden, the fence was broken in several places, the grass had massive brown patches of dead grass and the flower beds were barren, this didn't hold much hope for what the inside will look like. As they reached the front door Bo took a deep breath and told herself "you're strong, you're smart and you can do this" and as the sentence finished in her head the door swung open.

The next half hour was full of the adult chit chat between the McKinney's and Trick, Bo zoned out for most of it.

"How would ya like to meet your new brothers and Sister Bo?" Pam said while flashing a false smile that Bo saw straight through.

"Whatevvs" Bo shot back with a nonchalant attitude and with that Pam guided Bo upstairs.

As they arrived at the first door upstairs they were greeted by two adolescent young men, the first was Gavin; he was 17, tall and had a face full of acne. The second was Shane; he was 15 and allot smaller that Gavin.

"Well Bo this is Shane and this is Gavin, Boys this is our newest addition Bo" the exchange was quick as Bo had no intention of interacting with the guys much as all they did was ogle her chest region. She found that happened allot once she grew boobs, the guys in her foster family weren't blood so they thought it was okay to stare.

They moved further down the hall and arrived at a closed white door with a keep out sign outside it, all that could be heard was The Pretty Reckless being bleared from within. Pam banged on the door with gusto.

"KENZI, OPEN THIS DOOR!"

Soon after the door crept open, a small, thin 14 year old girl appeared from behind the door, with long hair and a gothic style attire on and shot Pam a 'what the fuck do you want' look before turning to Bo giving her the once over.

"Kenzi this is Bo, she is our latest addition to the family and will be sharing with you" the small Goth girl looked unimpressed and stepped back to let the brunette in and quickly shut the door behind her, making sure Pam did not gain entry.

Bo took three steps into the room before pausing to take in the sight. Kenzi began to ramble.

"Look, I don't know you and you don't know me but were stuck together until one of us gets kicked out, runs away or dies... to make this easy for the both of us you don't touch my stuff, you can have a quarter of the closet space and NEVER eat my skittles" Bo couldn't help but grin at this feisty young thing that stood before her, with her hand on her hip with so much attitude radiating from her

"Well aren't you quite the rule maker, how old are you anyways" Bo asked

"I'm 14 but that's beside the point, are you gonna do as I say or will we have a problem?" kenzi shot back raising an eyebrow.

"Wow this feisty for 14" Bo said looking almost impressed with kenzi "yeah I won't touch your stuff and I won't eat your skittles but I'm gonna need more closet space"

The girls maintained eye contact for a moment, neither wanted to break from the connection as it would be a sign of conceding until kenzi backed down.

"Alright we can go halfsies but that's as far as I'm willing to go"

"Thanks" Bo said sarcastically "the pretty reckless right? Taylor Momsen is soo awesome" she said pointing towards the CD player.

Kenzi looked at Bo with the biggest smile she has had in a long time, this was the beginning of the most solid friendship they would ever have.

Kenzi was a tough chick, she had more attitude than a whole cheerleading team and had enough wit and sass to go with it but she was still so very small and fragile. As their friendship grew and as they got closer, Bo felt more like Kenzi's big sister and felt very protective over kenzi. Bo was driven by her emotions, she always has been and always will be, whenever she felt threatened or felt that Kenzi was being threatened her emotions took over and went all protective mother bear on anyone who dare cross them.

As it come close to Bo being with the McKinney's for a year she couldn't stand Greg and Pam as her guardians, she was 17 and fully capable of looking after herself, but she had grown soo close to kenzi she couldn't leave her behind. Bo stayed till she was 18 and then paid the McKinney's to live with them until Kenzi turned 18. It was a long 3 years for Bo, working shifts in the local McDonalds just to stay close to Kenzi. Once Kenzi turned 18 the girls left that hell hole and began their journey, moving from place to place, working odd jobs here and there and stealing to make up the rest of them money they needed to survive.

5 years down the line brings us to present day, where something that went terribly wrong lead them to this situation, one of which could change their lives but for better or worse is still unknown.
