Title: The Day

Layla's POV

"Mom, dad! Come tuck me into bed!" I said. "OK coming!" Mrs. Williams said.

I ran upstairs to my room and hopped on my bed. I starting jumping on my bed when my father and mother came into the room.

"OK stop jumping on your bed now," Mr. Williams said. My mother and father tucked me into bed and said good night.

I was having a hard time falling asleep. It was because I wasn't tired. I thought of my dad, mom, and I and thought we are a happy family. I didn't want anything to change. I then slowly fell asleep.

2:36 a.m.

I woke up to a crash. It sounded like a lamp. It was still really dark outside so I check my clock. It was only 2:36 a.m. in the morning. I slowly got up from my bed and walked to the door.

I slowly opened the door trying hard not to make a sound. My parents door was open. They always closed the door. They never left it open, so I got very suspicious. I went to the hall and heard another loud thump.

It came from my parent's room. All of a sudden I heard a scream. "Ahhhhhhhhh oh no! JAKE! JAKE! HONEY! PLEASE NO! DON'T! AHHHHHHH!" Mrs. Williams said. I quickly and quietly ran over to there room. I went inside scared to see what happened.

I started tearing up. My parents were on the ground. Blood was gushing everywhere. I saw the person who did this jump out the window. I only saw the back of that person though. "Layla I love you!" Mrs. Williams said softly. "What!? NO! MOM! DAD! HELLO!? NO DON'T DIE! PLEASE! I'M ONLY SIX! DON'T LEAVE ME AT SIX!" I screamed. I quickly ran to the phone and called 911.

"Hello!?" I screamed. "Hello this is the police what is your emergency?" The officer asked. "My mama and papa! They are laying on the ground and blood is coming out!" I said starting to panic. "Ok don't panic! What is your address!" The officer said quickly. I gave them my address and they said they would be right there.

I ran back to my parents and tried to figure out if the were still alive.

I saw my father's eyes open and still. I cried and cried until the police finally arrived. The ambulance came too and got them to the hospital strait away. The police asked me a few questions and then took me to the hospital.

"Is my mama and papa all right?" I asked. "I'm so sorry. They didn't make it," the doctor said softly. I started to cry my eyes out. Then an officer came up to me. "Hi I'm sorry about your parents. But do you know any relatives that you can stay with?" He asked. "No," I said softly. "OK then. I'm sorry but we will have to put you in foster care. We can't just leave you without anyone to stay with." He said gently.

I cried even more. I didn't want any other family. I like it with my mama, papa, and I! No one else! Nothing else! "That won't be nessasary officer," a lady said. "And why is that mam?" The officer asked. I wondered why to so I listened and wiped away the tears on my face.

"That is because I will take care of her," the lady said. "OK then. Fill out these sheets and you will go to court next week and they will decided if you will be the new guardian of this girl," he said and walked away.

"Hello Layla!" The lady said. "Who are you?" I asked. "Oh silly! I'm your neighbor! I live across the street! My name is Stella Hood," she said. "Oh you! I remember you! You used to talk to my mom a lot!" I said. "Yeah!" Mrs. Hood responded.

"This is my son Jackson Hood! He is six years old just like you! And this is Calum Hood! He is two years younger than you two so he is four years old." Mrs. Hood said.

We talked for a while and she took me to my house to pack my stuff up. And I went to stay at her house. The same week Mrs. Hood went to court and passed to take care of me. The funeral happened and we found out my parents were murdered by someone but the never found out who.
