My Birthday

Please Vote and I hope you enjoy.

        "Mom I don't wanna go! Why can't I just stay home with you and dad" I said angrily to my mother. "You have to, I know your birthday is tomorrow so you will go Wednesday but you are still going!"My mother shouts back to me. My brother is outside taking care of the horses and my dad is at work, so it is just me and her.  

        My mother just won't listen to me, she says I have to go to my aunts with my older brother. He is 3 years older than I am, but he is still nice. Even when he acts like he is 3 sometimes. He is 16, even though I am 12 I turn 13 tomorrow so he is technically 3 ½ years older but I only say 3. 

        Sorry for not introducing myself, I am Emma Waters. My brother's name is Jake Waters and I live in Oklahoma. I am going to my aunts for two reasons, we haven't seen her in 4 years and two my parents need "space" from us hooligans. My Aunt Stacy lives on the other side of the state. So it takes a little while to get there. 

        I went to bed that night dreaming about my 13th birthday party and about how I used to always dream about the moment I turn into a teen and now it is about to happen I couldn't be more excited. I remember how happy I was to turn into a double-digit. So as I closed my eyes I just couldn't stop thinking about how excited I was to turn 13 unaware of the events that will follow. 

        That next morning I woke up and there was a chilly morning breeze coming from my square window. For some odd reason, it was opened. I sat there for a second in my bed just listening to the Blue Jays chirping, and at that moment I just knew it was going to be a good day. After sitting there for about 5 minutes I noticed a little bag on my dresser so me being the curious person I am going to go see what it was. There was also a card that was small and had a big star on it. My brother probably drew that and on it it said "Happy 13th Birthday". Then I opened it and it was signed by my parents and brother, so I just knew it was for me plus it had my name on it. It read "Happy Birthday Emma, we just wanted to say happy birthday and we love you, also we hope you like the gift." Love grandma and grandpa, Dad, Mom, and Jake.

        After I read that I opened the present it was a necklace with a horse charm. Of course, I put it on. Then I went downstairs. And there was a cake. So I looked outside and in the barn was a happy birthday banner. So I ran upstairs and got dressed. Then I ran out to the barn and opened the doors, then everyone yelled "SURPRISE".  Everyone was there, aunt and uncles I haven't seen in forever. And grandmas and grandpas that live in another state. I was so happy it was my 13th birthday. But the happiest day of my life would soon turn into the worst.

        The necklace was from my grandparents. The big gift I got was my own horse. He was a paint horse and he had light blue eyes and was dark brown with white spots. His name was River and I loved him. We went inside and did presents, cake and ice cream. It was the best day of my life…or so I thought. That night I went to bed now and was very excited for my aunts. I was just getting asleep when I heard my mother scream."NO PLEASE DON'T" Then I heard a gunshot then another. Not knowing what to do I ran to the closet. Mistake number 1, I soon heard footsteps going up the stairs to the second floor. I quickly bent down in my closet and grabbed the emergency phone, and called 911. A lady responded with a "Hello what is your emergency." I responded " I think there is so-" then I heard my door open and I heard footsteps. The woman said "Hello….Ma'am are you there?" I was silent, not saying a word, trying to not breathe hard. Then I heard a male voice saying "Come out I know you're here." There were a couple of seconds of silence then the closet door opened and I remember him wearing a black hoodie. I couldn't see his face, it was dark and I was scared. Then the room went dark and I woke up in a hospital. 

         When I woke up my brother was there, he was sleeping. Then the doctors entered and I asked for my mom. They told me she was in surgery and was barely making it. I just felt my heart shatter. Then I asked where my father was. They told me he had died from loss of blood. I couln't think staight. So i just cried i didnt know what else to do today was supposed to be the best day of my life and it turned out to be the worst. My mom was still in surgery and the doctors weren't sure she would make it trough that. My brother hugged me, I couldn't understand how he wasn't crying I mean our father just died. That is the only thing i remember thinking befor falling asleep.

________________________________________________________________ Later that night ________________________________________________________________

            I think it was about 2 in the morning now and my mom was still not waking up. I was starting to get worried. I called for Jake (He was standing outside the door). He came in and thats when the monitor started to beep. Doctors started running in the room and made us leave. I remember standing there just watching through the window as doctors tried to save my mothers life but in the end she ends up dying. I remember staying at the hospital until my aunt could pick us up. I remember crying again and this time my brother was crying too. I don't blame him both of our parents are dead and we dont know what to do. All I know is that i really hope the day can't get any worse.
