"Giving up the one thing that means the world to you is probably the most painful thing you could do. Once something you enjoy so freely becomes a part of your life, it leaves a burning loss once its gone."

"Remember that big speech I gave on graduation day?
Well ....shit!
Looks like my speech was easier said than done."
Victoria sighed staring gloomily out of the Airplane window recalling the past 6 weeks. Summer vacation was supposed to be a time spent with family and friends doing fun and adventurous things, not planning their funerals and packing to move almost 4 000 miles away.
6 Weeks Ago
"Tori hello?"
"Miss Miller?"
"Yes?"
"This is Officer Greg Cooper, would you be able to come down to the police station, there is something we would like to discuss with you"
Tori frowned in confusion,not comprehending why the police would like to talk to her or most importantly why were they looking for her.
Tori answered him politely,
"Sir I can't right now, I'm currently waiting for my parents, could we schedule anothet meeting some other time?
The man on the other line let out a deep sigh and muttered "why?" To himself.
"Miss Miller, I am afraid this is about your family."
Tori froze at his words and her heart beat slightly picked up. She felt an uneasy feeling rolling over her body.
"What about them?" She asked worried
"Please could you come down to the station Miss?" The officer pushed on.
"Just Tell me!" Her voice grew a little louder and impatient.
"Miss Miller..."
"Please.. " she begged, closing her eyes already knowing that she had to prepare for the worst.
"I'm sorry to inform you Miss Miller but there has been an accident." Officer Greg stated monotoned.
It was so Practiced
So emotionless
And yet....so final.
Tori's words caught in her throat as she processed the information.
"Miss Miller?"
"Hello?"
"How are they?" Tori croaked out sofly.
Silence
She counted...."one....two....three..."
Several seconds passed once she heard Officer Greg clear his throat.
"Miss Miller, a truck driver ran a stop light, hitting into the drivers side of the car, your. ...uh..."
More throat clearing.
"Sorry we don't usually give this kind of news over the phone." He waited for a response,instead he was met with silence.
"The driver was Mr. Mark Anthony Miller, I assume he was your father...."
Tori's body ran cold at that word.
"Was? What did he mean was?" She thought to herself but deep down she already knew the answer.
