I walk through the forest as I finally arrive across the road from my house, I quickly spot a police car parked outside as I suddenly run across the road without even looking and burst through the door.

" what's going on? " I shout as I see Dan with watery eyes with Phil patting him on the shoulder as there's a police officer standing there talking to them.

Dan looks up and stares at the police officer, " that's Meg, she's my sister," Dan says with pain that's so strong that I can feel it hitting off me.

" Meg Howell, I'm afraid your mother has sadly has sadly passed away this morning," he said with a sad tone to his voice.

I look over to Dan and smile, " okay show the cameras, this is a prank video right," I say as no one makes eye contact with me.

I look around as all i see is sadness, " this isn't a prank is it?" I say as my heart starts racing.

The police officer shakes his head, " your mother must have gone away to the shops early morning and been hit by a drunk driver, there was nothing anyone could do."

I don't say anything, I take a few steps back as my back goes straight into a wall as I stare at the police officer with hurt deep eyes.

" I'm sorry for your loss, but I must be going," the Police officer says as he gives us a nod and quietly leave.

I try to say something but I can't, my heads empty, my minds blank, God it feels like I can't move.

My heart goes faster and faster and faster, I feel like I've just run 1000 miles.

I look over to Dan and phill who haven't moved either, silence fills the air, I hate silence.

I suddenly burst out in tears as I just can't hold it in anymore, " no... No!" I shout through my tears as I ran through the house past Dan and phill into my room and lock my door behind me.

" it will be okay Meg," I hear Dan say quietly as i choose to ignore him though, because I don't want to make matters worse, he must be feeling the same as me, just better at hiding it.

I flop onto my bed as I lie with my face in a pillow, not knowing what to do with my life anymore. I'm now a girl with officially no parents seeing as my dad died while I was a baby so I didn't know him that well.

Poor Dan though, he's older than me, he had to go through the pain of loosing his dad, and know he's going to have to go through the pain of loosing our mum.

I sob into my pillow a bit more, getting black make up on it, but that's the least of my worries.

Suddenly I hear someone trying to open my door but failing badly because it's locked.

" Meg? Can I come in?" I hear Phill say.

I slide off my bed and make my way to the door as I turn the lock and make my way back to my bed as I sit in the edge.

Phill comes in and takes a seat beside me, " I'm sorry."

" don't be sorry Phill, I just want my mum back," I say as tears come streaming down my face falling from the bottom of my face.

I saw Phil's heart break  just there, Phil cares about me and Dan so much and he hates to see us hurting, but this broken him down.

" I would do you anything to get you and Dan your mum back, you know that right? " he whispered trying not to break down into tears himself.

" I know," I sniff as my head falls into his shoulder.
