My Bestfriend is My Soulmate

A Sad Tragedy

Joshua's Point of View

When I knocked on the door the door swung open and Evelyn was standing there. "Joshie your here!" She squealed hugging me.

"Of course I am pumpkin, I told you I would be." Just then her mom and dad came out. "Thanks again Joshua." Her father said. "Oh no problem." I said. They then left.

Evelyn then jumps into my arms and I spun her around "So how's my pumpkin doing?" I ask pecking her cheek."I'm doing great now that your here." She said staring at me with her icy blue eyes.

"So what do you want to do sweetie pie?" I ask setting her down. "I wanna play hide and go seek again." She says spinning around. "Ok, I'll be it again, you go hide I'm going to start counting." I say closing my eyes and start to count.

I then hear Evelyn run up the stairs, but to be fair I'm gonna act like I didn't hear her go up there. We played for about forty-five minutes and we then watched movies after about the fourth movie she was asleep and snuggled in my arms.

Then there was a knock at the door. I moved Evelyn without trying to wake her up. I walked over to the door and opened it. There stood a police officer.

"Excuse me Sir, but are you Joshua." The officer said. "Yes, why, what's going on?" I said. "Are you also watching over Evelyn Stanford?" "What's going on?" I said getting annoyed.

Then the officer spoke. "I'm sorry to tell you this tragedy but your parents are dead. As well as that young girls parents. They died on the way to the hospital."

As soon as the officer said that I rushed to get Evelyn. The officer then said "I'm gonna have to take you guys down town into protective custody.  The reason is because we believe your parents were murdered."

So I picked up Evelyn and walk to the police cruiser. I then buckled her up and stayed in the back with her and I laid her head on my lap. So she could keep sleeping. I was angry that my parents where killed, and how was Evelyn gonna take this.

She is going to be extremely heartbroken. Then the officer spoke again. "Well since your eighteen you'll be fine, but because Evelyn is only eight she will most likely be put in a foster home."

"Um couldn't I take care of her since I am a legal adult." I asked. "Well sure you can but that's up to the judge and what he will decide." The officer said.

I really don't know how I was going to break it to Evelyn, that her parents are dead. She will upmost and utterly be devastated. This is the worst tragedy ever.  When we got the police station the officer took us to a room full of beds.

I guess this is were the officers go when the are working a case and have to stay when they need a little bit of sleep. I laid Evelyn down on one of the beds and then I tucked her in. I then crawled into the one next to her and couldn't fall asleep, I was already depressed that my mom and dad died.

What else was I going to lose, I looked over at Evelyn and I knew I had to protect her at all cost. I wasn't going to lose her like I lost my parents tonight so I didn't sleep.

I kept my eye on Evelyn to make sure she was safe, because if I'd I lost her too I would never forgive myself. If anything happen to her. I whispered "I will always protect you." As I watched her for the entire night.
