Annabelle’s POV:
I was a little girl when it happened, 7 years old to be exact. Everything was so different back then; my life was care free and full of joy. I had everything a person could want, loving parents, a home and food, happiness. Then came the awful news, the news that changed my life forever. I remember it all as if it was yesterday.
[][][][][] flashback [][][][][][]
I was sitting on the couch, playing with my Barbie’s my aunt at my side. My father left early that morning, something urgent had appeared. I sat giggling playfully, I didn’t know what was wrong, and everyone was so quiet. Their faces read of worry, and fear.
“Auntie, where’s mommy and daddy?” I asked curiously
They never left me alone for more than a few hours. I was always with them, I was their princess. They always wanted me happy, I was spoiled with treats and toys but I didn’t let it go to my head. I deserved everything I got, I was a good girl. My parents played with me, every happy moment in my life included my parents.
“They’re busy, you keep playing okay” My aunt responded nervously faking a smile.
Suddenly the phone rang. My aunt practically ran to answer it.
“Hello” she spoke
…….
“Oh dear” She said tears spilling down her cheeks.
……
“What about…” She said worried
……
“Okay, we’ll be there in an hour” She concluded and hung up
I stared at her wondering why she was crying, what was wrong? Who was she talking to? A million questions formed in my mind, but I didn’t dare ask a single one.
“Anna come on dear we have to get you ready” My aunt finally spoke to me.
“For what auntie?” I asked jumping off the couch
“For a little party, come on daddy will be there” She cooed leading me up to my bedroom.
“Okay” I giggled and ran to my room.
My aunt put me in a black dress, with black shoes, my wavy brown hair at my shoulders. I didn’t know why she put me in a black dress; I wanted pink my favorite color but my aunt said no. I noticed everyone else was in black too. Apparently we were all going to the same place. I couldn’t wait to see daddy, I was excited for this party whatever it was. Everyone else seemed to be in a sad mood, crying, hugging, and no one looked me in the eye. We finally reached our destination my aunt helped me out of the car. We were at a graveyard.
“Auntie why are we here?” I asked looking around.
“Your daddy will tell you okay sweetheart he’s over there” My aunt said sadly pointing him out from the crowd.
I ran to him, he was sitting in a chair, his head in his hands.
“Daddy?” I asked tugging at his shirt.
“Hello sweetie” He said trying to smile.
He picked me up and set me on his lap.
“Where’s mommy?” I asked looking around the crowd trying to spot my mother.
“Mommy’s gone sweetheart” He said his voice cracking
“Gone? Where did she go?” I said sadly
“A better place sweetie, your mom died” He said putting me down and he ran, crying, but he ran away from me and everyone else.
I sat on the grass, every word he told me sinking in. My mom was gone, she died. Those words repeated over and over and over again in my mind. Tears spilled down my rosy cheeks, tumbling one after another. Every image of my mom and I flooded through my mind. Everything finally came into place, this wasn’t a party it was a funeral, and my mom had died. No one wanted to tell me, my dad wasn’t with me because he was with her in her final moments, I was at my mom’s funeral and they were to bury her deep down in the earth.
I cried alone on the grass, my dad just left me when I needed him most. The funeral began; they carried her in the casket and slowly started to lower her. I ran, tears streaming down my face, but I ran to her.
“MOMMY!” I screamed. “Mommy no, you can’t leave me, please mommy” I cried falling to my knees.
Someone came to pick me up carrying me away.
“NO” I screamed throwing a tantrum. I wanted my mom, no one else. I wanted her back with me, why did she leave me? Didn’t she want to be with me? I loved her.
