Prologue:

A funeral that’s what changed everything.. Changed how I felt about my family how I felt about myself and that’s just mentally. Physically I knew a lot of things were changing. Who would have known that only one day could change the rest of your life but not for the better. If you asked what I would be doing this cold, wet, gloomy Wednesday morning a week ago I would have said going to school like every other teenager, little did I know that this Wednesday changed everything. 

The funeral was for both my parents and my unborn baby sister. Their car spun off the road and into a tree killing all three of them, the detectives concluded it was an act done  by my father on purpose to kill them, whether its what my mother wanted or not. But me I don’t think they would have done it. Killed themselves when nothing was wrong they had a great life a perfect home, a perfect marriage, they had me and was soon to be expecting a new baby girl. I just don’t understand.

The church ceremony was over after what seemed like forever, and slowly everyone started leaving the church to head to the after party, which I think it’s stupid why have an after party it’s not like we should be celebrating anyone dying. Especially after basically everyone knows that my dad supposedly killed them on purpose. In a small town like Marfa, Texas, any news is big news and it travels fast the people in this town like to gossip when something happens since it rarely does happen.  Nothing made sense today I seen people coming up to me but the faces didn’t click i either didn’t know them or my mind was simply not working properly both were very possible.

LATER AT THE “ After Party”

 It was nearly time for everyone to leave and thank god for that I was sick and tired of hearing everyone apologise for my loss and that I will be okay and if I need anything I know where to go. Well they don’t know how it feels to have everything one day and nothing the next. The thing that bothered me the most was hearing everyone talking about my parents when they thought I couldn’t hear them when I could quite clearly.

Mrs Turner the old lady from next door was standing  few feet away from me so I tuned into what she was saying to another lady I had never seen before.  “What a disgrace that Craig Irving turned out to be killing himself and his lovely wife Marissa and that unborn baby. Marissa must have been due soon right? How could he do that and leave poor Lana to fend for herself. If I could I would give him a piece of my mind.”  The anger boiled up inside me how dare she diss my family who the hell does she think she is. I walked right up to her to give her the piece of mind since unlucky for her she couldn’t give my dad one.

“How dare you talk about my family like that especially during their funeral. They were good people and don’t act like you care about me you have been my neighbour for my whole life and you have barely said 3 words, so don’t you dare enter my house and bad mouth my parents get the fuck out of my house.” I couldn’t take anymore “ EVERYONE GET THE HELL OUT OF MY HOUSE NOW.” I stormed upstairs to my room and sat on my window ledge and sure enough everyone was piling outside into their cars. It about time too, everything was just too much, I needed to try and relax.

My names Alana Irving. Im an orphan and my life is ruined.
