A few minutes passed and Alice fell asleep. I walked out of my room and into the dim lights of the kitchen. "Hey," I heard, Sarah was leaning on the wall. I sighed. "Look, I'm sorry." "Why?" "I..." "Exactly, no reason." "Look- Mom will b-" She started. "Mom's dead." Silence. "Or, at least, almost." I said. "I... Know." Sarah said, wiping away a tear. I heard a small cry. We were both confused, till we turned around. Hanna was crying. She ran away, Sarah chased her. Sarah's POV. I felt awful. I finally grabbed her hand. She looked at me, tears covered her face.

About a hour later Me and Sarah went home, Hanna stayed with her friend for a couple more hours. Sarah went to the table and sat in a chair, just sat there. I walked over to the photo ,of all of us, on our fridge and held it. I guess Sarah saw. "Stop." She said, her eyes still just staring ahead. I started crying. "STOP! Put the photo down." I didn't "PUT... IT... DOWN!!" "WHY!!" I shouted. "It only make you feel worse! PUT IT DOWN!" "Maybe I want to feel worse." I said and ran to my room, but threw the photo on the floor.

The next day was Monday, the police station had called and told us to meet them so they could question us. ---------------------------------- Sarah's POV "Um, Sarah. . . Fault?" The officer in the hall said. "Flatt, and yes?" "You may go in." He said as he opened the door to the room where the Police woman was. I walked in silently. "Ms. Flatt, please sit." She directed. I sat in the only chair in front of her desk. "Alright, lets just get to the questions." I nodded. "What's your mother's name?" "Robyn Flatt." "Her maiden name." "That is her maiden name, her name, when she married our dad, was Hart." She wrote this down. "So, you knew your

I was sitting quietly at the pond when I heard a yell. "HELP! PLEASE!!" That was the yell of my sister. I was shocked, I automatically stood up and ran to the house. I nearly ran into our door when I reached the top stair. I threw the door open. There stood my oldest sister, standing with our baby sister. "What is wrong?" I asked. She raised up a shaky finger and pointed behind me, there was our mother, sprawled out on the floor with a gun wound in her leg. I held my head in my hands and burst into tears, my baby sister cried, too. My sister ran to the phone to call 911. "911, what's your emergency?" I heard from the phone. "MY MOM  IS PASSE

"So, what are you getting Kate for her birthday?" Mom asked. I completely forgot! I dashed upstairs, got on my computer and looked up "Trips To Hawaii." Five days. Five days, perfect! "Hawaii!?" Kate yelled excitedly. "Yes, and you can pick two other people to come, preferably girls." "Aw, I wanted to bring my pet rock! Ha ha ha." Kate answered. Five days later I packed two days worth of clothes. I ran downstairs, Natalie awaited me. "Where are you going?" "Oh, don't worry. I'll be back soon." "I know what that means." Natalie ran away. "Strange. Bye  mom!" I ran to hug her. I hopped in my car and got Kate and our friend from school, Rose.
