Chapter 1

Don't say goodbye...

It means the beginning of Forever and Never...

______

I walked downstairs to see my mom cooking and my dad reading a book. My little eight year old brother, Brandon or Buddy for short, was playing with his toy cars. Sounds like a normal family right? Well...

"Hey sweetie, can you come in here and help" my mom called from the kitchen. I sighed and walked into the kitchen to see my mom stirring noodles in a pot. "Can you cut up those tomatoes over there?" My mother asked. I walk over and picked up the knife laying next to the freshly ripened tomatoes. I start cutting into each one of them.

Back to what I was saying. My mom works two jobs. She's the manager of a makeup and nail boutique in town called "Flawless Cover." I don't really get the name of it, but my mom says flawless means perfection and cover is like makeup, so Perfect Makeup. I still think it's weird though. Her other job is part of the film industry. She works on children animations.

My dad is a grave digger which is super creepy, but it helps a lot because he works at night so he can take care of us in the day. Not only does he bury dead people for a living but he also is deaf. What I've been told is that he got a virus at seven and it effected his hearing.

Buddy is pretty annoying when it comes to siblings, but he still means well. Buddy is pretty average except he has ADHD so, he gets pretty hyper. The worst part about it is that we had to toss our sweets out because he gets too hyper when he eats them. I remember one time he snuck in my room and ate my candy I got for my birthday and he ended up not getting any sleep for two days and neither did my mom.

Ouch! I looked down and saw I cut my finger. Blood dripped from my cut and onto the counter and floor. "Mom," I began. "Yes" she stopped stirring and looked at me. "I cut my finger" I said as I held up my finger. She sighed and went to the medicine cupboard and pulled out the band-aids. "You're such a klutz at times" my mother complained.

Me. I have black hair and blue eyes. My hair used to be brown like my dad's, but I didn't like it so I dyed it. Buddy shares blonde hair with my mom, but he also has blue eyes like me and dad. My mother has dark blue eyes not like the bright blue eyes the rest of us have. I'm not really special. I don't have ADHD, OCD, or hearing problems. I did have depression when I was little, but according to my doctor I don't anymore.

"Hello- Carter focus" my mother said, snapping her fingers in front of my face. "Yea. What is it?" I ask. "I need you to cut the tomatoes up for the sauce" my mother replied.

There's actually a little story behind my name, Carter. When my mom was pregnant with me the doctor told them I was going to be a boy. So, when I was a born, it was a big shock. Since they didn't come up with any girl names, plus my mom adored the name, they kept the name Carter and changed my middle name to Ann because it rolled off the tongue pretty well. So instead of Carter Michael Dole I got stuck with Carter Ann Dole.

I sighed and began cutting the tomatoes. "Why are we even making this" I asked. "A friend asked me to deliver some food for her banquet." "Hmm.." I mumbled. "Plus I wanna to take us out to a carnival in the town over." "Yay" i said excitedly while throwing the tomatoes in the pot.

I brushed my hands off on my skinny jeans. I then walked in the living room and plugged my earbuds into my phone. "In the End" by Black Veil Brides began playing.

I felt a tap on my shoulder. I must have fallen asleep. I opened my eyes to see my dad staring at me with his beautiful, blue eyes. 'We are leaving to drop off the Spaghetti' he signed. 'Ok are we still going to the carnival' I signed back. He smiled, 'of course'!

I walked with my dad out to the car. "Can you hold the spaghetti, Carter?" My mother asked already handing me the spaghetti. "Sure" I said plainly and got into the car.

"Hey sis, when we get to the carnival will you play with me?!" Buddy begged using his famous puppy dog eyes. "Yea I'll play with you for a little bit, but I want to go on some of the scary rides" I replied. He rolled his eyes, "I don't want you to!" I giggled. "Shhh... Be quiet back there I'm trying to concentrate!" Our mother snapped looking at us for just a split second.

That's when it happened...

When my life ended.

The truck came straight at us. Pain overwhelmed me. I just want to go to sleep, but my body won't let me.

I open my eyes slowly. Everyone was upside down, the car must of flipped. I looked in the passenger seat to see my dad covered in blood hanging in his seatbelt. His lifeless eyes were open and his once bright blue eyes were a dull, empty pair. I screamed on the top of my lungs. "Dad! Wake up!" I screamed some more. Tears swelled in my eyes.

"Buddy?" I whispered as I remembered my little brother. I turned to my right to look at my brother. His eyes were closed and he had scratches covering his face. I tried to wiggle my arm out, but only more pain came. It must be Broken, I thought to myself.

I moved my other arm which was extremely sore, but at least I could move it. I unbuckled my seatbelt and fell on my upper back. I crawled to my brother. "Buddy! Buddy! Wake up!" I yelled shaking him. "Please... I need you.. I-I.. Love you" I managed to say in between sobs.

"Carter-" I heard a hoarse whisper. I turned around to see my mom coughing up blood. I noticed shards of glass were sticking out of her stomach and arms. "Mom! Mom help me! Dad is-" "Shhhh... It's going to be ok" she coughed. Then I heard the sounds of sirens. "Carter, I'm getting really tired" she sighed. "Mom... No.. Don't go to sleep" I cried. "Take care of yourself, I love you" she breathed harshly. "Mom, please don't go!" I sobbed.

"Goodbye-" she said with her last breath.

Don't say goodbye...

It means the end of Forever and Never...
