She never would have thought that the world she knew would be gone in a blink of an eye. She was dancing her way through life. Graciously twirling around with a bright smile upon her face. Jumping and leaping around the garden of purity. Safe upon the wonderland she called home. But not all fairytales end happily.
Ashton Jeaton was just a young girl from a big family living her happy life in Eunice, Louisiana she was the daughter of a sweet baker named elizabeth and a tough but sweet cop named Justin. She ran around the house trying to get the last brownie from Skyler, her younger sister. "Give it to me!" I said, "It's mine!"
"NEVER IT'S MINE!" She yelled back. Their older brother, Elijah, picked Skyler up and grabbed the brownie and took a big bite from it right in front of them with a smirk all across his face. He set her down and walked away not even saying a word eating the brownie as he walked away with the biggest smurk
Ashton frowns and walks to Justin, "Daddy Elijah ate my brownie!" She said to him while looking up at his stubbly pre-shaved face. He was still getting ready for work. He hugged her and scrunched her hair up, "well I will buy you a brownie after dance practice tonight okay?" Justin said to his eldest daughter. "Go get ready for dance, your brother is gonna drive you for me. I love you babygirl" he inferred with a smile.
Ashton runs up to her room and changes into her dance outfit before going downstairs to her older brother Elijah. "Are you ready to go little red?" Elijah asks her, before taking her bag from her to bring to the car. She ran out to the car beaming of happiness not knowing her world would come crashing down in a moment's time. Elijah got in the car after her in the driver's seat and began to drive to the dance studio.
    Elijah was driving through a green light on the intersection when a drunk driver slammed into their car hitting the driver's side of the car. Ashton groaned in pain and looked at her brother Elijah as blood ran down the side of her face. She watched as Elijah took his last shaky breath while life drained from his body. She lost consciousness moments after her brother's last breath.
