This little girl

The beginning

Tess's P.O.V
I'm ten years old and my parents have been murdered my name is Tess

My parents were murdered. yes that is true but if your parents were murdered. right in front of you what would you do?

Would you run and hide? Or would you just stand and watch.

They were my only family, my only friends everyone else was just there.

I have no friends from school nor do I have an aunt or uncle my dad was an only child along with my mother. They were kind people and did nothing to you how could you be so cruel and kill them in front of a child.

I was never a bad kid I listened I didn't put up fights you would say I was the perfect daughter.

My mom was a waitress and only got enough money to pay for the food.

My dad was a lawyer,he paid the bills.
Mom loved dad and me she had cancer didn't you see.the baldness on her head from the chemotherapy. they said she was just sick and would get better she didn't get better, daddy was upset and would cry most nights I didn't understand she only had a few days my dad was broken.

Mom was his life he loved her more then anything. it broke him knowing she was going to leave him and wouldn't be in his life and she would never become his wife.

He hadn't proposed he wanted to but was afraid, he knew she wouldn't cheat on him but still he was afraid. The one time he was married his wife cheated on him and they got a divorce. Since then he wasn't able to love until mommy. I loved hearing how they fell in love.

On mommy's last night there was a fight. A man broke in and hit daddy with a bat . I was upset but didn't show myself. all I did was watch from the front door I couldn't move there was to much fear. Mommy was crying I wanted to hug her but couldn't move the man pulled out a gun and shot daddy. There was lots of blood,lots he turned and saw mommy and shot her to before he saw me I ran out the door.

I ran down the street I was beginning to feel weak. I was downtown I sat in the alley staring at the wall I walked out one i was still crying ,no one cared just looked at me and walked away.

A police officer named Ben came up to me and grabbed my hand, I was still crying.

"Where are your parents" he asked I stared up at him not knowing what to say all I could feel was pain. The pain of everything I was just a child why should I feel this way?

Ben looked down at me and gave me a smile I didn't smile back.

"Where are your parents?" He asked once again but this time I answered no tears nor emotion just one word.

"Dead"

He looked at me shocked but didn't ask for me to explain. Took me to his car a police car I was put in the back I didn't really care.

"Where are we going?" My throat was dry I haven't eaten in two days.

"When did you last eat?" So many questions but who am I to blame.

"Two days" he looked at me with sympathy I didn't really care.

We pulled up to a Wendy's drive through, I got a 'healthy' salad and a ice tea.

Later that day I was taken to a foster home where they said I was going to get a new mommy and daddy. But first they needed to know what happened to my parents.

"Go on you can tell us nothing will happen to you" said one of the officers

I stared up at him for a second or two."A man shot them both in the chest he didn't see me but I saw him he hurt mommy and daddy there was blood and shouts I didn't know what to do." They looked at me all with looks of sympathy."where do you live?" I looked up again my face was grim.

"175 Parkwood road " we started to drive there in silence.

***
Once we were there they looked at me then back at the house. It wasn't to big and not small it was the right size to fit us all. With a garden filled with flowers in the front and the grass cut, the porch was small just had a pair of stairs to walk to the doorway. The door was still open from when I ran. One of them walked up to my house and I waited outside. When he came back out his face was the same a sad smile and a look of sympathy. "your parents they were shot in the chest twice, we will call an ambulance" this was said by Ben

"Hello, there's been a shooting two suvillians were shot and have been killed can I get an ambulance over on 175 Parkwood road?....yes ok thank you " That was his partner.

"I'm sorry you had to live through this traumatic experience" Ben said looking me in the eye. It wasn't his fault he doesn't need to say sorry it is the man who killed my parents that needs to be sorry.
