Percy's pov

I was so shocked by the news my mom just told me, Sophie's parents got into a car-accident?! Wow, no wonder she looks ready to cry.

"Sophie, dear are you alright?" my mom asked her as we sat at the backseat of the car.
"I guess..........?" she replied. sounding unsure and looking out of the window.
"Well, dinner's on me so..... what do you want to eat Sophie?"
"Ummm... anything's okay. Thanks" she said, then looked out of the car window for the rest of the trip to her house.

"Sophie, I'm going to go into your house with you but I'll stay in the living room to give you some privacy." mom said, taking out the spare key from under the rug and entering the house.

She nodded and slowly entered her house.

Sophie's pov

This house–this room, doesn't feel like mine anymore.
I descended up the stairs leading to the 2nd floor, where all the bedrooms are. I walked in front of my parents' bedroom, the door was slightly ajar; flashbacks came rushing back.

-Flashback-
I dragged Ella across the wooden floor, my bare feet slapping the floor as I ran across the hallway to mommy and daddy's room. I slowed down to the walking pace and peeked through the gap between the door and the doorframe. Mommy and daddy are asleep on the bed, tangled up in white sheets.
"Swophie!!" my little sister Amy called.
"Sssssssshhhhh" I said, "mwommy and dwaddy are slweeping."
"Sssssssssssssssssshhhhhhhhhh" Amy copied me, giggling.

I opened the door and slipped into mommy and daddy's room, Amy trailing behind me. We both jumped onto the bed and tackled mommy and daddy.
"Mwerry Chwristmas!!" we shout into their ears.
"Girls....." mommy said, they both leaped out of bed and positioned themselves by the doorframe. A tradition we had. Every Christmas morning, Amy and I get to call mommy and daddy up, then race downstairs together to check the gifts under the tree.

"3" daddy shouted.
"2" mommy shouted.
"1" Amy and I shouted.
Our bare feet slapped the cold wooden floor as we giggled and raced downstairs to the living room and drank hot cocoa while opening Christmas gifts.

-End of Flashback-

Silent tears rolled down my cheeks as I thought of those fun moments we have, how mom will wipe my tears away before they could fall onto the floor; how dad will crack dad jokes to lift the mood when I'm down; how Amy will give me her favorite doll just to make me smile. But they're not here anymore, they're gone now, so I have to be strong. I have to be myself, for the sake of them, and mine.

Updated!! 🙌 sry for not updating.... Will try my best tho!!
