1: Howard's death

"Yes. Okay. Thank you," sobs racked the woman's body as tears poured out of her eyes. She leaned on the kitchen side head buried in her arms crying. "Oh Howard. The kids will be so upset," Julie croaked.
"Mom?" Asked a voice from the doorway. "What's wrong?" The female had tanned skin so paired with her curvy figure and brown hair she looked gorgeous.
Shaking her head Julie answered, "Get your siblings. Then I'll tell you."
Nodding, the girl walked upstairs to wake her younger siblings one at a time.

All gathered in the family room, the children were groggily sat on the couch.
"Okay kids I have some news about your father," Julie started.
"Is he coming home?" asked a brown haired boy.
"Has Dad called?" Asked a blonde teen girl.
"Daddy!" Yelled a toddler.
The woman from before just sat silently, thinking back to how she had found her mother.
"Your father's dead!" Julie shouted over the noise of the kids before crying again. This made everyone stop and immediately cries of anguish left the children.
The woman from before just froze, not crying, she just froze.

The blonde girl looked over at her older sister "Kat? Are you not sad? Why aren't you crying? Is it because you hate us? Is it because you want to leave the family? Is it because you don't belong with us?" She yelled glaring at the older female. All the attention were on the two of them now.
"Zoe," she whispered "How could you say that? I love this family. I-"
"Then why don't you cry!?" Argued the brunette boy.
"Seth," tears welled up in Kat's eyes.
"So now you cry!"
Seth and Zoe stormed off picking up Peter and Tyler to bring them back to bed leaving only their mom, Kat and younger sister Lulu in the family room.
"Lulu?" Kat croaked.
"I hate you!" And the girl ran upstairs too.

Looking at her Mom, Kat finally broke down tears falling down her face in buckets as she tried to contain the noises she made. Sighing, Julie sat with her upset daughter trying to comfort her.
"Why do they hate me?" Kat whispered.
"No sweetie, they don't hate you. They're grieving. They could never hate you, they adore you."
"But this always happens," she sniffled. "Something bad happens and I immediately get the blame even if it's something completely unrelated to me. I'm tired of it Mom. I'm doing college online so I can help Helga around the house; I don't have friends because I always babysit Lulu, Peter and Tyler; and they blame me for everything. It hurts so, so much."

Her Mom didn't reply knowing it was true, and she was never there to punish her kids or tell them to stop because she was always working. Julie just pulled her eldest daughter closer and let her cry until they fell asleep on the sofa together.
