"Why do I have to go?"

"Because no one will look after you here. So you are living with your Uncle Tyler, look I'm sorry about your parents but we can't let you live by yourself. You're only sixteen if I could I would let you but I'm not the judge."

As I close my suitcase I look at Mr.F. "Why must I go? I want to stay here, Stay at the house I grew up in, Stay at the place where I've had all of my birthdays, Stay at the-"

"You can't , I know you have memories here, friends, and crushes, but your only living family member is Tyler. Come on, If we leave now we can stop at any restaurant you want."

I looked down at my suitcase
"Fine, just give me a minute alone."
As Mr.F walked out of the room I looked around my bedroom.

"Goodbye, I will miss you."
With tears in my eyes I put on my beanie and grabbed my suitcase and headed out the door, I stopped at the door way. I turned around, grabbing the door nob. " See you soon." As I closed the door I walked down the hall leading to the living room. Mr.F was waiting for me at the door.

"Shall we go?"
I nodded my head. As he opened the door for me I took one final look around, and left. Outside I could see my Dad's car was gone, but my Mom's car was still in the driveway.

"Your mom had great taste in cars, a Black Jeep fits her."

I look up at M.F,"Did." He looked down at me.

"Wow you made this more depressing. Come on let's go."

As I got into Mr.F's Small Ford truck, I began to think of all the times my Dad would say how my Mom loved her Jeep more than him. It made me smile since the accident. I stared out the truck window, as Mr.F started the car I began to thing of all the good times and bad times in the house.

The time Rose asked me out, The time she broke up with me. The time Mom and Dad had a snowball fight without us........ Us, me and little Ashley, My sister..... She was with them when the accident happened. She was so young, she didn't do anything wrong in the world, Why did she have to go too?

I wish I knew why this was happening to me. I couldn't get a girlfriend since Jr.High. Freshman year so far sucked and I have to lose all my friends. "Why?...."

"Why, what?" Said Mr.F as to took a freeway on ramp.

"Why is all this happening to me? Why did my family have to die form some drunk guy? Why?" My eyes began to fill up with tears.

"Look Jay, there's one way to put this, Life is a bitch. You just got to accept it Life will mess you up and destroy you. You can accept it or deny it or you can be a man and change it. It's up to you." I sat quietly," And what if life goes your way?"

"Well then your one lucky bastard." Mr.F said as he looked in his mirror at me. I laid down in the backseat. I closed my eyes, I wanted to dream, dream about my family being whole again. The fact of someone loving me again, All I want is to feel loved again. One tear slipped out has I lay there and hoped I will be loved again. Even just for a minute.
