***Flashback***
After countless times of trying to watch the same movie with out falling asleep, I failed miserably. It was like I wasn't ever meant to see the end of this movie. It has to be the tenth time I attempted to watch the second movie in the Twilight series, New Moon.
"Alright, right. Yes, okay. I'll keep her here for now. Of course. Let me know!" I woke up from a faint sleep hearing my best friend, Elizabeth's, mother shout into her cell phone. I abruptly sat up, becoming nervous. That's me, nervous Nelly. Except my name isn't Nelly of course, it's Lindsey. Lindsey Hendricks.
"Was that my mom?" I let out without thinking.
"Oh no! It was..m-my mom." She said, worry drowning her hazel eyes.
"Don't lie to me." I said coldly.
"I'm not-" I stopped listening as I looked down to my phone,
From McKenna:
Are you okay...?
McKenna is my cousin, we've been inseparable since we were babies. Which is why it made my heart thud rapidly because now I knew something was wrong. She always is the first to check on me. In the past few years I kind of gave up in believing in 'luck'. Good or bad. There's been way to much thats went wrong in my life instead of going good.
"What is going on!" I shouted to myself, begining to get annoyed since nobody answered me. My parents usually shelter me from the bad in life, so I don't get to worried or hurt with these kind of things. In one way I absolutely loathe it because it made me feel so helpless, but in another I know it's for my own good.
"Hello?"
"What's going on?"
"I...I can't. Just like you couldn't tell me about my sister Lindsey, i can't."
"McKenna! Somebody needs to tell me now! I'd r-rather hear it from you than someone else!" I snapped into my phone.
"Your dad...h-he's unresponsive." I felt my heart drop into my stomach.
click.
My breathing increased rapidly. McKenna said that she couldn't tell me like I couldn't tell her about when her sister...passed away. Impossible. I kind of thought maybe she was just being over dramatic, she lost her older sister just a day less than one month ago which has her on edge. Kir, her sister, passed away when she loss control of her car in the middle of he night. She couldn't navigate a turn & smashed into a tree. The impact killed her. It was the most devastating thing that's ever happened. Kir was only eightteen years old, hasn't even lived her life yet & it was taken from her that quickly. The trauma was so bad on her body that we couldn't have a normal open casket viewing, it was closed. That's what made us not believe it, it's like it was all fake, a bad nightmare. Well, that's what we prayed for every single night.
After I hung up I tried calling my sister multiple times, my mom, brother, daddy, etc. not one of them answered. My dad's had his bad days lately, just mostly from buldging disks in his back. Nothing that would ever end his life. This is crazy, simply impossible
My heart raced as tears uncontrollably started streaming down my cheeks. Elizabeth & her mother surrounded me, telling me 'it's okay. It will be fine. He'll be alright.' Over & over again. I think it made me feel worse, like they were just trying to console me so I wouldn't take a nervous breakdown in thei house or something.
