I woke up by the sound of the alarm from my phone.

As always it was 4 a.m and I had to clean the house and make breakfast.

The only difference is that it's my 16th birthday and the day I finally leave. I had enough money to rent an apartment for 3 months and to buy a plane ticket. College fees wasn't a problem because I have got a scholarship.

I quickly clean the house and made breakfast for them. It will be the last time they will eat the food I made from my hands. Will they miss me if I left? What a stupid question they will be pleased that I finally left.

I went back to my room and wrote a letter for them if they bother checking on me and put all my belongings in my school backpack. I only had my clothes, passport and some other documents my wallet.

After asking permission from ma'am to go to school which was a lie. I took a taxi to the airport. While in the taxi I threw the sim card on the road so no one will be able to find me.

As I sat in the flight to London. I had one thought in my mind that I was finally free. I am sure the love that my family didn't give me I will find it there.

In afternoon Leonardo and Enrique returned from school.

Today Katelyn wasn't at school which means that they couldn't have their fun which angered them both. So they went to the basement to see if she was there and if she was they could punish her.

With that thought, they went there and looked around to see except the old mattress and blanket there was nothing else. Then they spotted a letter on the mattress. Leonardo opened the letter and read it.

Dear whoever reads this

By the time anyone reads this, I would be gone. I know that you won't care and be glad that I am out of your hair. I don't know how it is my fault that Leonardo was born weak. I have 5 brothers but none of them cares about me. My brothers were supposed to protect me, care for me but what did you do? You guys hit me, whipped me, punished me, called me names, bullied me, treated me like a slave. Mom and Dad, I know you don't like me calling you that but they say, parents, love their children no matter what. If Leonardo is your son am I not your daughter. When my brothers and Alessandro hit me or punished me what did you guys do? you sat there and enjoyed my misery. I pray to God that no one gets a family like this.

Alessandro, I don't why after all the hurtful words and beatings from you I still can't hate you. You are my first love I know you would be sickened by knowing this but I needed to get this off my chest and don't worry I will probably move on.

From this day I break all my ties from this family. From now on I will consider myself as an orphan.

Goodbye

From the one, you hate the most

Katelyn.

After reading the letter Leonardo dropped the letter in shock that his twin, his other half has left. And it was their fault. She was right they never cared for her and always tormented her.

" Leo what happened what is written in the letter, " Enrique asked but Leonardo didn't reply he was so shocked.

" Katelyn " Leonardo murmured over and over.

Enrique picked the letter and read it. He was mad at himself that he didn't save his baby sister from all the abuse and took part in it. He punched in the wall causing a hole in it.

" Leo quickly call everyone we need to find her," Enrique said as he called his men and told them to track her.

I called everyone and told them to come home asap. While I called my friend that is a hacker to track Kate.

I am so dumb to hit and bully my twin, my little sister but I promise that once we find her I will protect and adore her like she deserves to. I will not let anyone hurt her.

" Leo, Enrique " I heard someone call my and Enrique's name from upstairs.

I and Enrique went upstairs and found Alessandro, my brothers and parents all were there.

" What happened why did you guys tell us to come home asap," Francisco said.

" Katelyn is gone and she has left this letter," Enrique said handing the letter to Fransisco who read it aloud.

When he finished reading it all my brothers had tears in their eyes. Mom fell on her knees and start sobbing while dad comforted her.

Alessandro was worst of all of us. He kicked the table and was yelling at his men to find Kate.

My phone rang I looked at the caller ID to see it was my phone. I picked up the call and said: " Did you find Katelyn ".

All the head snapped towards me.

" It looks like she destroyed the sim card. There is nothing I can do " He said.

" Dammit," I said and hung up.

" What happened who was on the phone, " Mom asked.

" It was my friend I asked him to track Katelyn but she destroyed the sim card," I said.

That night all the Gonzalez's family and Alessandro swore to find her and bring her back and give her all the love and happiness she deserves. But they know it won't be easy but they will get on their knees to ask for her forgiveness.
