  Violet's pov

   The next words that came out of the two man's mouths would forever stay in my mind. "Violet, i'm sorry that we have to tell you this but your parents are no longer alive." I couldn't believe what I just heard. I fell to my knees and everything around me faded out as I sat there crying. How am I supposed to get through life with out them? What will happen when I think of something funny and immediately try to dial my mom's number to hear her wonderful laughter? Why did they have to go so soon? They were amazing people why did god or whatever high power that is out there have to take them?

 I was so lost in thought and in my own grief that I didn't realize that there were people still around me until I felt someone touch my shoulder. I slowly got to my feet and held my head low to the ground. I felt Will's arms wrap around me but I just pushed him away and slowly walked out the door and out of the house. It wasn't until I heard Will's voice calling after me that I began to run. I don't know where I was going but I ran and ran until my legs gave out. I fell into the mud as the rain started to pour down on me and I wept into my hands.

 Memories of my parents flashed before my eyes slowly. Memories of my mother and I staying up all night to talk about the latest episode of whatever show we were watching together. Memories of the time I fell down the stairs and got a cut on my knee so my dad held me close and told me he would always protect me and be there for me. Well dad where are you right now because I think I need you to protect me now more than ever. My head was spinning with all these memories and I felt like the weight of the world was on my shoulders and I just couldn't bear it or at least my body couldn't because I was suddenly laying on the ground unconscious.

  It's been nearly a week since the tragic news of my parents death had found it's way to me. We never truly found out why I ended up unconscious that day but Emma seems to think it was because of the shock and the grief from finding out about my parents death. I think she might be right I mean when you think about it finding out that your parents won't be able to walk you down the aisle or see the smile on your firstborns face would be devastating for anybody. I can't even begin to explain what this week has been like without my parents here but i'll try to sum it up. 

 I haven't had the strength to leave my room this whole week and I honestly didn't plan on it but I have a meeting with my parents attorney to discuss my parents will. I tried to weasel my way out of it but of course Emma talked me into because she thought it would be a good idea to see what my parents left me so that I can gather their belongings and keep them with me. Besides having to leave my room this week I found out that there is not even going to be a funeral. Due to the limited details about the case the C.I.A decided that it would be best not to go public until they gathered enough information to prove whether or not their deaths were accidental or intentional.

 Emma has been the  only person I have talked to this entire week and I am truly grateful for her. Although she will never be able to replace my parents she helps to fill up the giant hole in my heart where they used to be and for that I am so grateful. I have been avoiding Will and Sky but I can't bear facing the real world right now because I know once I do my parents death will be a reality.   Everyone has tried to be there for me and to be supportive and I truly appreciate that but I think some alone time is the only way I will learn to cope with this situation.

 I sighed as I got off the bed and grabbed my phone which I haven't touched all week except for the occasional text from Lily. I walked over to the closet and picked out a simple black and white dress I didn't even feel like going so I felt like a simple dress would be best plus black and white is a little ironic given my grieving circumstance. After I got dressed I slowly opened my door and peaked down the hallway checking to make sure the coast was clear and no rambunctious boys were around.
