"Hey mom you ready?" I asked her as ne my sister and dad were ready to go. My dad was already in the car and I asked my mom softly because she was already upset with my jerk of a dad.
"Yeah!" She said angerly.
My dad honked.
"Ass" my mom muttered.
We got in the car.
"Who's ready for pharells!" I exclaim trying to break the tentiom..I mean it was my nieces birthday..this is supposed to be a good day.
"Yay!" Exclaimed my 8 year old little sister.
"Well maybe if your mother wasn't so disloyal wed have a good time!"
"Hey!" I said getting a little tired of my fathers outburst.
"Don't talk about my mom like that!"
"Shut up smartass"
I got quiet as my mother roared and ky dad backed out of the driveway yelling at my mom .
This should be fun. I sat back and plugged my headphones in and closed my eyes.
*****
I woke up to my dad yelling.
"Shut up!"
"No I will not be treated as dog meat!"
"Then I'll make you shut up!"
My father has made this empty threat multiple times but i watched in horror as he swerved in the middle of the freeway going 70miles an hour.
Everything that happened next seemed to go in slow motion.
But yet at the same time I wasn't fast enough.
I tried to cover my little sister but I got thrown back into the middle.
A car came in from the left cramming into the driver and at the same time another one smashed into the right.
But somehow I was caught in the middle and didn't get smashed.
*****
Beep. Beep. Beep
"How are we gonna tell her?"
I thought to myself were am I .
Then I looked up and saw the hospital ceiling.
What? Wha what happened?
Then.
Everything came crashing over me.
The crash! Where's my mom wheres Aly??
I sit up really fast and in return my head pounds.
"Sh sh it's ok." Says the nurse.
"Where's my mom and sister ?" I ask frantically not giving a Shit about my dad.
Then she gives me a grave look and I instantly know what happened.
"I'm sorry, but your mother died instantly and your sister died in the hospital about an hour ago..." She says quietly.
My whole world caved in around me.
"Nonono" I whisper.
"I'm sorry, I can get you a grief counselor"
" I don't want a damn grief conselor I want my family !" I say and burst into tears.
********
A social worker comes into my hospital room.
"I know your probably going through a lot but you have a choice..you can go libe with a family member Orr you could stay in New York city in foster care."
Realizing that my family lived across the country and knowing what I wanted to do I decided to stay in the Big Apple.
But the nerve of this guy!
But I couldn't complain.
I was adopted by my family.
I know how the system works.
"Foster care" I say flatly.
"Ok well the doctors, want you to stay over night then you'll be put in a group home tomorrow morning."
"What a lovely wake up call" I mumble.
"Oo and I'm sorry for your loss"
Ouch.
For a moment I had forgotten that I lost my family.
Well this'll be fun
I think of what the new morning will be like.
The I just cry myself to sleep.
