Not my fault,My fate

Chapter One

THEME: A SAD MEMORY

    Fate as we all know is the power believed to control everything that happens to us,it cannot be stopped or changed. There's a strong force that controls our fate,one which we can't explain.

   Fate is not the fault of anybody,as humans we try our best to make our fate but there are things we cannot control. We all have dreams to become but when life brings its trials our way,it stops us from following our passion and replying to nature's call.

      We do our best to make our own fate but our lives are ruled by something outside our control,it can be death, falling in love. The world as we know is not a wish-granting factory. Sometimes it seems like nothing is going your way when everything is just so hard but it isn't your fault,its fate............чσur fαtє .

   I'm Tania Woods and this is my story,well It all started years back,a day i can never forget,the saddest day of my life,the beginning of my misery and the end to all happy memories.

    It was that time of the year, when we prepare to travel to our Grandpa's place for his birthday.  It had become a family tradition that Grandpa's kids,grandkids and great grandkids would arrive in his house before the big day preparing for the celebration, he was turning 90 that year and yeah.....he was that old so the ceremony was going to be grand style.

    My mum was Grandpa's 7th child out of the 15 kids he had. And I was mum's second or third child......well I'm a twin so its hard fíndíng out what category I'm in. I have an older brother named Chase and my twin sister__Tonia.

  Mum and Dad got our luggage ready,Chase got the car ready and my twin sister and I were just doing whatever........actually we were rehearsing our song that we were going to present to Grandpa. We loved singing, my twin and i would sing in the shower,at school,in the park,at the mall,anywhere and anytime. We had our own singing club,we called it 'Rockstar Princess' and everyone in the family was a member of our club,Chase would play the guitar,Dad would beat the drums and Mum would just cheer us on with clapping and screaming, we were just the perfect team.

     We got prepared and ready to leave,our luggage was stuffed in the trunk. All that was left was for Dad to start the car engine, while waiting patiently, Tonia and I started singing:
      
          🎤 Off to Texas🎤
                         🎶To see Grandpa Milo🎼
          🎼🎤  La la la la🎤🎶
                         🎶 To see Grandpa!!!!!! 🎵

    "Girls! Take a break, you've been singing that song since last wєєk non-stop,you don't want to lose your voice before Grandpa gets to hear it" Our Mum warned.

   If there was anything we didn't wish for, it was loosing our precious voice, like what's a singer without her voice! So we sealed our lips and fiddled with our guitar, we have been taking guitar lessons since we were 6 and now we are 12,we are very good at it.

    "Sing instead of making noise with the guitar,I bet you'll sound like frogs when singing to Grandpa" Chase mocked as he laughed loudly.

    "Chase cmon! Don't say that to your sisters" Dad said with a frown.
 
    "Dad leave him,he's just feeling lonely cos he's the only frog in our midst" Tonia said as she made a silly face at Chase.

   Our brother was a real pain in the butt,he derived joy in seeing us frown our faces. And my twin__Tonia always had a response to give him. Tonia and Chase use to fight a lot because she couldn't stand him and his words,I on the other hand would just watch them fight as they make a scene,I was calm and not as ѕtuввσrn as my twin,I stayed away from fights as much as possible.

    One time,Tonia cut Chase hair while he was asleep and she glued his hair on his face to make a moustache, just because he pulled off her doll's head off its body,that week was one hot week🔥. They kept fighting and ruining each other stuffs,all I did was laugh out my guts,its not an easy thing to have movie stars as siblings living with you,they were full of Drama.

     And right now I was laughing so hard because Tonia just called Chase a frog 🐸.

    "Stop laughing, its annoying...... You should be on my side instead" Tonia said with a grumpy look on her face.

   I didn't like to see Tonia angry or even sad,i loved her way too much, so I dropped my guitar and hugged her tight blowing kisses all over face. I made a sign with the sister bracelet on my wrist,Tonia did the same sign with her bracelet and she smiled at me,that was the trick__you can't stay angry at the twin sister bracelet.

     Dad and Mum got in the car and we hit the road,the journey was going to be a long one__but we were already used to it since it wasn't our first. As Dad was driving on the main road at average speed,Tonia and I were chattering about school and music,Chase was glued to his phone and Mum was talking with Dad.

     Ahead of us was an oncoming truck,it seemed to have lost control cos it was moving at a very fast pace,Dad tried to manoeuvre and avoid the vehicle but it all went wrong,it happened so fast__our car was spinning as it tumbled over and the glass shattered,our lives flashed before our eyes and that was it.

        The last thing I heard and saw before my eyes went dim,was my family as they laid helplessly crying for help.
