Lilly
They show up while I'm at work, I have my own bakery in the small town of Philadelphia Mississippi. I'm at the front counter when they walk in, two police officers who have known me since I was little.
"Hey boys, what can I get y'all today?" I ask Officers Holloway and Johnson
"Lilly, I wish we were in here to get some of your sweet treats, but we have some bad news," Officer Johnson says
My face immediately drops and I come out from around the counter to sit in one of the chairs.
"What's this bad news?" I ask
"I'm going to assume you haven't listened to the radio this morning yet, but your parents were killed in a car wreck around 2 o'clock this morning," Officer Holloway responds
My hand shakily comes up to cover my mouth as tears gather in my eyes. I can't help the sob that escapes my mouth as the officers bring me in for a hug.
"We're so sorry for your loss, we all loved them so much and if you need help with anything at all, just let us know," Johnson tells me
I shakily nod my head.
"I think it's time to do the thing I've been avoiding for so long," I shakily breathe out
"You're going to call Micheal aren't you?" They ask
"Unfortunately," I cry
"We'll take care of it, don't worry, you just focus on grieving," Officer Johnson says
I nod as they leave, wipe my eyes, and attempt to get back to work. I put off telling anyone until after work, even though everyone probably already knows because it's a small town.
