No Words (Conor Maynard Fan Fiction)

Chapter 1: They're Gone

"Are you ready Miss Evans?" I stood in my empty room that I was about to say goodbye to and heard the newly familiar voice of the social worker that was appointed to me only 1 month ago. 

It all happened 1 month ago. It was my graduation and things could not have been more perfect in that moment. If only I had known what was going to happen.

*1 month ago*

I stood staring at myself in the mirror for a while, knowing that I was supposed to be at my school already. I always had a thing of being late. I stood there, in my baby blue room filled with memories and all I the things I love. I'd hate to say goodbye to any of this, but I'm planning on going to Uni as soon as possible. But I'll come back as often as I can. I love my mum and dad too much to leave them for so long. Not ready to grow up yet I guess. 

"Katie! You're already late as can be, we have to leave now sweetie! You don't want to miss your graduation do you?" I heard my mum's soft voice call me from downstairs. 

"Coming mum!" I looked over myself one last time. Don't want to embarrass myself, I tend to do that a lot. I ran my hand over the smooth, long, black graduation robe I was forced to wear. I put my messy hair in a bun, was too lazy to do anything with it, grabbed my graduation hat and walked down to the car. 

My dad turned around from the front seat and smiled at me. "My baby girl..." He didn't finish because  he was too busy trying to hold back the tears. "Oh dad, please don't cry" He turned back around and acted all tough. "I won't!" I laughed to myself and we were off. 

The hard part was done. I managed to walk up on the small stage, get my certificate and walk back down without embarassing myself. I smiled to myself for that accomplishment. It felt like hours before everyone had finally collected their certificates and we were free to go, I rushed over to my now crying parents when the ceremony ended and hugged them tightly. It was late by the time we left. I said goodbye to all my friends, with many tears all around, but I knew I would see them all again soon. I sat in the back seat of the car, with my parents in front. I smiled to myself because this moment was so perfect and I couldn't be happier. 

I looked out the window at the rain that was coming down heavy now. I got worried about being on the road in this weather but my dad has always been an excellent driver and I know he would drive safe. I felt a sneeze coming and made a funny face. My dad gave me a weird look, like I was crazy.

"Thought I needed to sneeze" He nodded and smiled at me. 5 minutes later the sneeze came and my dad turned around to look at me. I knew he was about to say bless you but my mum yelled something and he quickly turned around. It all happened so fast... The car swerved, I didn't expect it, and I stupidly didn't have my seatbelt on. As the car swerved, my head was bashed hard on the window. I felt dizzy and my vision became blurry. It felt like everything happened in slow-motion after that. I looked over at my dad and saw the worried look on his face, but he still looked like the brave dad I loved so much. I looked over at my mum and she looked terrified. She was already so little and soft but now she looked even more so.

We kept going in circles as the wheels of the car wouldn't stop because of the slippery road. I grabbed on the handle in the back seat, terrified. The car stopped swerving and I thought we would be ok, my mum looked at me with love and relief in her eyes, she reached her hand out and I took it gladly, my mum's hands were always so warm. Only 10 seconds later a huge truck rammed us. All I remember after that is waking up in the hospital with strangers all around me. I keep hearing my mum's scream in my head.

I had passed out but only for an hour, there was a sharp pain in my head and leg. I lifted my hand to my head but the nurse pulled it back down again with force and told me not to move. I still felt dizzy and my vision was still blurry. I tried to get up so that I could see where my parents were, but again the nurse pushed me back down. There were doctors rushing around, there was another bed that they pushed past me, with the blanket pulled over the person's head, like they were dead. The hand had slipped out and I recognised the old Guess watch I got for my dad when I was 10. I went completely still and I felt my face pale. 

"Dad" I whispered. Realisation hit and I started screaming his name, but he didn't move. I tried to get up and run towards him but the doctors and nurses held me down. I kept screaming his name and he kept not answering. I couldn't stop the tears from flowing. The nurses kept telling me to stay still, but I didn't. I couldn't. How could they expect me to stay still? I felt the prick of the needle pierce my arm and I was out again. 

I woke up again a little bit later. Again there were strangers around. My mind was still fuzzy and I had a huge headche. There was a serious looking woman standing next to me. She saw my face and her expression changed to sad. I couldn't remember what happened....

"Wh...What....Where?" 

"Ssshh. It's ok, you're safe and in the hospital" The strange woman said to me. 

"Where are my parents?" I saw saddness and sorrow in her eyes and she looked down at her feet. I turned to look at the doctor's next to me and they all looked at me with pity.

"I'm so sorry Katie..."

"No! No! They're not! They can't be! They JUST CAN"T! NO!" I couldn't hold back the tears, and I didn't want to. I starting screaming and crying and I tried to get up but they held me down, I tried to fight them but the woman put her arms around me and I couldn't fight it anymore. I broke down in her arms. 

*Present Day*

"Yeah I'll be there soon" I said to the social worker while holding back the tears. The social worker, Amy, was the woman at the hospital 1 month ago who told me my parents had....I don't even know how many times I've cried since that day. I wanted to break down and curl up into a ball and stay that way forever, but I knew that I couldn't because I had a plane to get on. A plane to the UK. I've lived in Dublin my whole life and now everything is changing, all at the same time. I don't know if I can handle it. I've lost so much all at once. My parents and now my friends and my home.

I've had so many messages from people asking how I am, all I say is fine because I have no words for them. I doubt they want to hear anything else but fine anyway. 

I've had to live with Amy until now, I was moving to Brighton, to stay with my uncle. I held back the tears as I left my room forever. I hadn't spoken to anyone much, not even Amy, since that terrible day. I barely moved at all. 

"Things will be better in Brighton Katie"

"I guess" I let out a sigh as I got my bags out of the car and walked towards the entrance to the airport. 

"You can call me anytime"

"Thank you Amy" I gave her a quick hug and walked towards the boarding gate. I sat down in my seat in plane, by the window, put in my earphones and blocked out everything. She things would get better. But right now I don't see how anything could get better. 

They're gone.
