There are times where things happen and you ask God, 'why?' But always remember that God has a reason for why it happened.

Two girls were walking down the streets of Spain with shopping bags in their hands. One was wearing a baby blue summer dress with a pair of while flats. She had dad brown hair that went just passed her waist and brown eyes with a hint of hazel in them. Her sun-kissed skin looked smooth and her full lips were a pinky shade colour.
The other girl wore white jeans with a white tank top tucked in the waist band of the jeans and a black and red-checkerboard flannel with white converse. She had long, dark brown hair and blue eyes like the ocean and sun-kissed skin. These two girls were Vanessa and Mirabella Desamparadas. They were both cousins and apart of the Spanish mafia family.
"What do you think I should get your mum?" Vanessa asked, as they entered the shopping centre.
Today was the day that Mirabella's parents were returning back from London, and everyone was excited to see them. Most especially Mirabella. Growing up, Mirabella spent all her childhood in England, and it wasn't until two years ago that her and her family moved to Spain.
"Maybe a hat?" Mirabella said, remembering that her mother loved to wear big summer hats during the summer.
Vanessa had on a thinking face as she looked at all the shops in front of her. She was just about to say something when her phone went off. "They're probably wondering wasn't taking us so long" she said, as she pulled out her phone from her bag.
The sound of screaming and crying was all she could hear, and Mirabella could also hear it from where she stood. "Mum, what's going on?" Vanessa asked, her voice steady and nervous.
Mirabella gestured for her cousin to come closer so she could hear what they were talking about. Something was telling her that something had happened. Something bad. She could feel her heart slowly picking up its pace, and then she heard her aunt say something that made her whole body freeze. "It's...it's your aunt and uncle...they...they got hit by a car."

The hospital reception was half crowded. Mirabella rushed to the reception with Vanessa at her side. She slammed her hands on the desk. "Maria and Salvador Desamparad" said Mirabella, slightly out of breath.
The receptionist looked up at the two girls. "They are currently in surgery" she said. "But there is a waiting room with other members of your family. Follow me."
She took them down the long corridor, and then they made two lefts, and there was a room with Mirabella's two aunties and other members of the family. Mirabella searched the room for her older brother and two uncles who were nowhere in sight. "Where is Alejandro?" She asked.
"They'll be here in a few minutes" said one of her aunts.

He knew that his mother was no longer with them. He knew that she was in a better place now. But what he didn't know was how he was going to tell his little sister. Alejandro was in the room with his father and two uncles. The doctor told them that there was no hope, and that they were to say their goodbyes.
"Figlio, mi dispiace andarmene così presto, ma promettimi una cosa," his father said. "Ho bisogno che tu ti prenda cura di tua sorella. So anche che un giorno avrai una famiglia tutta tua."
(Son, I'm sorry to leave so soon, but promise me one thing. I need you to take care of your sister. I also know that one day you will have a family of your own.)
