It was the 17th of may and i have just turned 21. I loved birthdays, especially mine. I didnt think this one would be anymore interesting than my last 20 birthdays, but i was wrong . This birthday might have been the most interesting of all. I have moved to my hometown to..find some old 'friends' but when i meant old 'friends' i most certainly did not mean this.

How should i start? Hmm..

Ah, yes

„Rebecca, i mean it, just show me the dress!" My mom yelled from downstairs, sounding rather annoyed with me.
„Fine, coming!" i said with hesitation , by the way the dress was horrible, absolutely disgusting. I actually loathe this dress.
I finally came down, just to find moms stupid look on her face, that she had everytime i tried on something new „You look drop dead gorgeous, Darling. Wait, I need my phone." Mom said, while walking away to get her phone. I immediately wanted to drop dead, because i knew everytime mom would get her phone it would mean, pictures, lots and lots of pictures.

I was ready for my funeral.

After a painful hour of torture, mom's phone died. I was so happy. Keyword being „was".

My mom died that night

She forgot to put her phone on charge and when someone was outside our door at 1 am, she didnt get the notification.

She was murdered, they didnt find me. Well technically they were never looking for me, but when my mom heard the loud bang of someone breaking into our home. She went downstairs and while she was going downstairs her last words were „Becca, honey is that you?" after that she was shot, i heard them saying „We should go before we get caught" When i finally got the guts to go down, my mom was at the bottom of the stairs

Im sure my sobs were heard in the entire neighbourhood

I shut everyone out after that night

A million questions running through my head

What if i told mom to charge her phone?

What if i had helped her?

What if i went down sooner?

Would she still have died?

Would the ambulance have arrived in time?

I wish i was the one who died

But whoever did this,

will suffer.

I wasnt at home anymore. Since my mom was dead i had to live with my Aunt. Her name is Jenna, she is a sweet woman who loves her family more then herself. Believe me, i love Jenna but she could never replace my mom. Jenna was upset but she didn't show it because she knew it would make me sad.

„Becks, please come out." My aunt said, standing in front of my locked door. I didn't want to come out, my mom was dead because of me. „Becks, i know you can hear me. Please dont make this harder then it already is."

After 10 minutes of listening to my aunt i decided to come out.

There were balloons everywhere

Oh, right

Its my birthday

Its my first birthday without my mom

In the back of my head i could still hear her voice

                   
                                                                                                   17.05.2007

„Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Becca, happy birthday to you!" My mom sang with her soft and quite voice

„Make a wish and blow out the candles Becca!"

                                                                                                   17.05.2018

Her voice was echoing in my head

Why can't she be here?

By my surprise, Jenna wasn't standing in front of my door

When i went down the stairs i could smell cake

Strawberry cake

How dare she? How dare she, make the cake my mom used to make for me

Im furious

At the bottom of the stairs, i saw my aunt standing next to my uncle and cousin. I stormed out of the house before they could see me. Why me? Why my mother?

I ran as far as i could

I stopped once i remembered that i didnt know my way around here. This wasnt my home. Someone turned me around and started scolding me, it was my cousin. „What are you doing Bec! Are you okay? Why did you run out?" he asked me.

„I-I dont know, im so-" i tried to say but tears started to flow out of my eyes. My cousin looked at me suprised and hugged me tightly. I felt safe, for the first time in 2 days.

We went back after about 10 minutes. Jenna was crying, i didnt know i meant so much to her. „Hey mom, i found her."
my cousin Max said. Jenna looked over and immediately stopped crying. „Oh, Becks i thought something bad happened! Dont do that ever again!" My aunt said, mad. „Something bad did happen! My mother was murdered!" i said with rage. I cant believe her!
