The Next Tomorrow

EVERYTHING SUCKS!

Mara's pov.

Today is my 16th birthday. I'm making it memorable. Of course, mom and dad are making preparations for my party but I have to look good so it's best I call my friends for a makeover.
I pick up my phone and call them on a conference call."Hey gal!!" They all responded together. I smiled. "Hey y'all,so since it's my birthday, I want us all to go out for a makeover." I said cheerfully. "OmG, Mara !!!...We're so sorry...Happy birthday gal,God I forgot... I kinda hinted at it, you guys... Shut up!!...Mara.."..."It's ok, guys. I know you're all busy.You guys should just come, and let's start our personal party!!!" I squealed. " Heck yeah gal...we'll be there in 10... love you
!!" They all screamed. I hung up.

What?...They're my only friends, and maybe they were too busy. I get them,I'm sure I would have forgotten their birthdays also. I get prepared, and in no time, I'm ready.

I get down the stairs and wave at the maid on the left. Yes, they are many, so I had to name them that way.
"Hey baby, how you doing?" Mum asked. "I'm ok. Where's dad?" I asked. "I don't know," she said in a cold tone. "Well, that's harsh, I don't want to get involved. I going out ,with my car ,alone!!" I stated. "No, you're not doing that!" She retorted. I pick up the keys and start to leave.

"I just did."I turned and smiled at her sweetly before leaving. "Mara!,Mara... Get back this instant!"

I sat in my car and drove off...
"Hey gal!!" Devi screeched. I chuckled. "Devi,how u doing?" I asked, smiling at the rest.They looked odd."What's wrong?...Why are y'all so strange looking?" I asked.

"My goodness, she doesn't know!"Kholé said, covering her mouth to stop sobs."What's wrong?!What's happening?." I asked.
"Baby gal, know that we are here for you at any time." Goldy said."I don't understand. Tell me what's going on!!" I pant with my heart beating so fast .

"It's your parents Mara...They both died in a car accident. "Devi said.
I watch her like she's mad and maybe yes,she is mad!."You are so fucking mad!...I just talked to my mother eight minutes ago.We even fought, you bimbo!."I bit back." No Mara,They're all dead.Its all over the news," Kholé said in a soft top that became so convincing in my ears."No! No, what type of friends are you guys. First you forget my birthday then you come to tell me my parents are dead?".

I turned to leave when Goldy showed me her phone. It was all over the Internet. My parents....they're dead?!.
"Mara!!" Was the last I heard before feeling the impact of my body connecting with the hard floor.God save me.

I woke up to a bright light. I opened my mouth to scold the maid, who opened my blinds, but my throat was sore.

I forced and opened...I was not in bed but the hospital.That's how it came crashing back.
My parents were dead. I started sobbing on the bed, but just then, the doctor and nurses came in. I cleaned my tears and watched them as they spoke about me being discharged. I actually like it here....

How in the world did my parents die? What would I do now?

Just then, my aunt Claire rushed in. "My God, Mara, aren't u ok?" She asked with the fake ass pity on her face. Fuck me,this bitch could care less... "Get out!!" I demanded. "I..." She was cut short by the family lawyer..."I'd speak well to her if I were you. Miss Claire here would be your guardian till you are of age to recover the properties your parents left you,Apparently, they were 500 million dollars worth here in Ghana." Mr Foster,our lawyer said..

Holy fucking million??....
