I slept downstairs on our couch with Emy because she told me that there was a so called monster in her closet. Typical 3 year olds.


I woke up Emy and brought her to the kitchen where she climbed on the island with her blanket and fell back asleep. While she slept I made her favorite breakfast. Bacon, Scrambled Eggs, Waffles with Extra Whipped Cream and Apple Juice. I cooked enough food for 5 people so since mom was at work (she works weekends) I called Cameron and told him to come over for breakfast.  I heard the doorbell ring and I yelled "IT'S OPEN!!" Cameron entered the kitchen and stopped and looked at the sleeping Emy on the island. He laughed and came over and went to kiss Emy's forehead.

"So, do you need any help?" Cameron asked. "Nope I'm good all I have to do is cook the bacon." I replied. I put the bacon in the skillet and as soon as I did Emy said "Make mine extra crispy....NOT BURNED!!!" Cameron giggled and smiled. I have a huge crush on him and I think he is catching my vibes. I got the plates ready. "Hey Cameron can you grab sleeping beauty off the island and bring her in the living room please." I asked him. He nodded his head and grabbed Emy and she woke up automatically. "Heyo Cammy." Emy said as she rubbed her eyes. "Hello sweetness." he said as he put her on the couch. I brought in the food and gave them their plates. They said thank you and dug in. As soon as I grabbed my food the house phone rang. I went to answer it.

"Hello?" I said."Hello is this Elyssia?" a person said in a concerned voice. "Yes this is she...Who is this?" I replied. "This is Andrew Nicholson from your mother's job. I was calling to tell you that she was in a fatal car crash and she is at University of Hope Hospital. Please hurry." he hung up. "GUYS WE NEED TO GO CAMERON, EMY LET'S GO NOW!!" I screamed. "What's wrong Elyssia?" Cameron asked as I was strapping Emy into her car seat in the car. " My mother was in a car crash and she's in the hospital." I said.


We reached the hospital and I told Cameron to stay in the car with Emy. I walked in the hospital and asked the receptionist where my mother was.

"I'm sorry dear... she didn't make it." she said. I banged on the desk and walked out and got in the car. I was in tears.

"Elyssia what happened?" Cameron said.

"She didn't make it... she's gone." I said in tears.

Cameron grabbed me and pulled me in for a hug. I broke out in tears. How was I going to explain this to Emy.
