For a split second, I sat there and contemplated weather or not I wanted to run in or stay. I got out of the car and ran as fast as I could to my house. When I got to the front porch, it smelled like rotten eggs and blood. I looked inside and it looked like something that you would see on TV. There was blood everywhere and everything was trashed. I started to walk through the house trying to yell for my mom and Gavin. Dean walked in and tried pulling me out. When I got to the kitchen, it felt like I was being punched in the stomach a billion times. My mom and Gavin were on the floor, dead. I think I screamed. The next thing I knew, I was in Dean's arms, bawling my eyes out because of what I saw before me. He put his hand over my eyes and turned my head away from the mess.
About 15 minutes later, the cops, Bobby, Sam, Dean, and my neighbors were all outside my house.
"Ms. Simmons?" is what I heard from one of the cops that brought me out of my thought.
"Huh- Wha- Yes?" I stuttered. I was still crying and my voice was still shaky. I couldn't believe that my family was gone. All of them. I have no one left. I started to sob more. I started to hyperventilate and got light headed and dizzy. Dean was off talking to another cop when he saw me. He ran to me and caught me for the second time that day.
"It's okay. Everything is gonna be okay."he tried soothing, but it only made me cry more.
"No it's not, Dean. They're gone. The only family I had is gone. What's gonna happen to me? Where will I go?" I was starting to hyperventilate when Sam came up to me and gave me the biggest hug ever. He was like the little brother I never had. I hugged him back and was able to stand on my own again.
After we were done talking to the cops, I went back to Dean's motel with them and just sat on the couch, numb. I couldn't feel a thing anymore. It had been about 3 hours since I found them. The tears won't stop. I've tried to make them, but they won't. So, I sat there on the couch, silently crying, staring off into space.
My phone buzzed. I looked at it and saw my Aunt Sherry's number on the caller ID. I answered the phone, but didn't say anything. I waited a few seconds then I heard her say the words I never wanted to hear in my life.
"I heard what happened and I am sorry that you had to go through that alone. Your uncle and I are on our way to get you as we speak. Then we are going to the adoption agency to get the paper work. You won't be alone anymore."
I thought she was joking, so I started laughing like a madman. Once I settled down, I realized she wasn't laughing and that she was serious. "What do you mean? Get what papers?" I asked already knowing what papers she meant but I didn't want to hear her say it.
"The adoption papers. Unless you want to be put in the foster system or live on your own?"
Did I want to live on my own? I was 18 years old, I could do it.
"Don't bother coming down, Sherry. I'm 18. I can take care of myself." and with that, I hung up and got up to leave. Everyone was asleep already, so I wrote a little note with my phone number on it for Dean and started walking back to my house.
When I got there, there was tape in front of the porch. so I went around to the cellar doors and went in through the basement. There was a ladder all the way up to the attic that had a secret opening on each level of the house. I went to the top floor where my room was and grabbed a book bag and filled it with essentials, cloths, pictures, phone, charger, and hygiene products. I zipped it up and walked down the hall to dads old study and got into the safe. I took all of the money and found a lot of weapons. I was confused, but i didn't have time to question anything because I heard the door open and two men asking if anyone was there. Crap, I forgot to leave the lights off. I forgot this was a crime scene. I thought to myself. I took pictures of everything on my phone and grabbed anything else I thought I would need. I went back down the ladder and my house for the last time. I couldn't look back. I ran to the nearest bus stop and got a ticket From Illinois to Kansas . I boarded the bus at 3:30 in the morning and didn't look back.
