Babysitting One Direction

Prologue

4 years earlier:

I was headed to my locker when I saw my best friends waiting there, Liam Payne and Mandy Phillips. We've been best friends since 2nd grade. We've shared every crush and heartbreak together, other than the fact that I had a crush on Liam when we were in fifth grade, and I've liked him since 6th grade. Yes, I believe having a crush is completely different than liking the person. I never told Liam because I didn't want to ruin the friendship we had. I started walking towards them. "Hey guys! What're you doing?" "Trying to figure out what to do now." Liam replies. "I say we go to the mall." Mandy puts in. "Ok, then let's go to the mall." I reply. We hang out there for a couple of hours before we all decide it's time to head our separate ways.

When I got home everything was quiet, so I decided that my mom and dad were probably still at their jobs. They run a housing company together, dad is the president and mom is the vice-president. After standing there for a little bit, I decide to go upstairs and change into some comfy clothes. I go back downstairs to get some Oreos and sit down on the couch.

I turn on Disney, I don't care what they say, you are never to old to watch Disney. After finally choosing something to watch, the phone starts to ring.

"Hello, Ritchie residence. This is Jessica speaking."

"Hello this is the police station. Are you Jessica Ritchie?" I said my name was Jessica, what does she think? Oh well.

"Yes, how may I help you?"

"I'm sorry, your parents have been involved in a car accident.

"What? How?"

"A drunk driver ran a red light, hit the side of the car."

"How bad is it?"

"I'm afraid pretty bad. They're at the hospital would you like me to send someone over to pick you up??"

"Yes, please." I stutter.

"Ok, I'll send someone over there." I hang up and slide to the floor crying. I don't know how long I've been on the floor crying, when I hear a knock on the door. "Jessica?" "Y-yes." "Ok, let's get you to the hospital." I guess he picked up on the fact that I didn't want to talk. When I got there I ran inside to the receptionist, "where are Jim and Mary Ritchie?" She kept on typing on her computer and without looking up she said "second floor, They're in the ICU" again, I ran to their room when I got there, I was shocked. They were on a gurney. They looked pale, they had cuts and bruises all over their body. They looked so lifeless. I stayed there for hours until Moms heart monitor started to go crazy and then went straight. "Mom no please don't go," The nurse was pulling me away, "Mom don't go, please don't go. don't leave me!" I watched as they tried to save her, but her monitor was still straight. The doctor came out and looked at me with sympathy "I'm sorry we did all that we could." "No, no, no, mom don't leave me! You can't leave me!" I screamed, but she was gone, and she was never coming back.

Present:

That was the worst day of my life. Not only did I lose my mom, I lost my dad. Not physically but mentally. He got replaced with a new personality, a whole new person. I didn't know him anymore, but it is the same person. He is my father.
