Zzzz. Silence. Zzzz. Silence. Zzzz. I reached out and turned my alarm off. Ugh. I hate Mondays.
"ELLIE! YOU'RE GOING TO BE LATE!" my mom shouted.
"Coming..." I mumbled as I climbed out of bed. I put on a tank top with denim shorts and ran downstairs.
The last few weeks have been epic. I had nine exams in 5 days! Like is that even necessary?? I don't think so...
I hated school but I wanted to go to see my bestfriend Jenna. She lives far away from me but we go to the same school. Awesome, right?
"Mom I-" I started, but I was cut off by my mom.
"I know. You need a ride," she smiled at me kindly and I let out a sigh of relief. My mom never drives when she's pregnant. Oh did I mention? My moms pregnant.
"But only because you're going to be late!" She said. I nodded a thank you.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Jenna!!!" I squeaked before jumping in her arms. *cough* okay... I might have tripped her up...."I haven't seen you in ages!"
"I know, right? Saturday was sooooo long ago," she said sarcastically. I laughed as we walked to first period.
Everything was perfect. Until 3d period came...

"Miss Parker? You are needed at the main office. Please bring your bags" the principal said. Weird. I grabbed my bag, lucky to leave chemistry. Oh, how I wish I didn't go....
At the main office my uncle, tom, was waiting for me.
"Hey uncle Tom wassup?" I asked cheerily.
"Ellie...." He stopped and looked me in the eyes.
"Hey! Is everything okay?..." He didn't move, eyes fixed on the floor. "What happened?" I tried to stay calm, but it came out hysterically."uncle Tom!" I was shouting at this point.
"Ellie....I'm so....so s-sorry..." He began to cry.
"Uncle Tom! Talk to me!!!"
"There's b-been an acc-accident an-an-and your pa-parents were in-involved..." I hardly understood each word he said but I got what he was saying...
"No...no...." I began to cry and told my uncle to go to the hospital immediately!
My life suddenly started to fall apart. My mom....my dad...my baby brother....no. This isn't real.

When we arrived at the hospital, we rushed to the reception.
"Ellie Parker?" She asked. I quickly nodded.
"Room 268" she said. I didn't let her finish the sentence, I just ran off.
"Quick! Quick, to emergency!" I heard unfamiliar voices around me.
Then suddenly I froze. I saw my father on my left being carried away. His face was full of bruises and scars. A tear streamed down my face.
I ran on to room 268. I found my mom. I opened the door and she weakly smiled at me.
"Hey honey" she said, her voice cracking.
"Hi mom!"
"Where's your father?" She asked.
"Fine" I lied. "Waiting for you"
"Tell him" her voice broke off "tell him I love him."
"No mom! You tell him! Please mom..." I broke into a sob.
"Shhhhhh sweetie...I...I love you..." She said before her eyes shut.
"No! No mom! Mom please! Wake up!!! Wake up...I need you!" I sobbed. I cried and cried on my dead mother until I let sleep over come me.
