"Mum!" I shouted from the bathroom, simultaneously patting Liv's back.

"Yeah?" I barely heard her shout back.

"Come quick! We're in the bathroom!"

Liv heaved and puked into the bowl again, omitting a foul stench. I grimaced as I grabbed the hair falling into her face and tied it into a ponytail.

The door opened and Mum quickly joined us on the tiles, "Olivia, take a deep breath for me."

My sister let out a few sobs instead, "G-get me... get m-me some b-bog roll."

I fumbled for the roll sitting on the sill and unrolled some before handing it to her. My sister wiped her mouth and threw it into the toilet bowl. I flushed for her as she tried to stand on shaking legs. 

Olivia took a deep breath, leaning against the bathtub. 

Mum sighed gently, "Livvy, are you okay?"

My heart fell as my sister shook her head, "Th-the girls at sch-school were at it-t again."

Mum put her head in her hands, "Everything's falling apart."

My mum had been fired from her job in the law firm a few months back and she wasn't earning enough money at the candy store to provide for us. Olivia's been bullied mercilessly and developed mild anorexia. Sometimes, I feel guilty for having no problems. 

"We'll stick together, Mum," I murmured softly.

Mum took a deep breath, "We need to move. I can't live in London, like this, any longer."

"What?" I raised an eyebrow.

Liv's eyes brightened.

Mum gulped and then nodded at her own words, "We need to move. Suggestions?"

"America?" I offered quickly, though I was a little confused by the pace of everything.

"No," Mum shook her head, "Expensive. Liv?"

"Somewhere small-town," Liv mused. She had a fascist for small towns; whether they were real-life or fictional. 

"Like outer UK?" I asked.

"No," Liv shook her head.

Mum agreed with Liv, "Outside of the UK."

"Australia?" Liv suggested.

"Yes," Mum nodded, "That's final. We're moving to Australia."

Welcome to the first three characters. This is the rewrite. I originally had like eleven chapters up before deciding it wasn't gonna go anywhere. This will be very different so I'm sorry if you're a #rr. (As of 18.01.17)
