This Box Contains My Life Now

Chapter 5

Violet P.O.V
I looked at my family stunned.
"W-what happening" I manage to blurt out.
"This box..." Thòmas says in a serious tone, so different from his usual care-free and fun attitude.
I gulp.

"This box." My mama says, "is from R- r- reyna." She stutters at Reyna's name. I gasp and fall to the floor sobbing. I don't know if it's from relief or sadness or happiness or whatever.
I lay on the floor sobbing my eyes out. My wavy dirty blonde hair sticks to my face. And my throat starts to hurt from all the chocking and gasping for air. It starts to become hoarse.
"R- r-re-ally?" I manage to stutter out.
"Are y-ou sure?". It pains me to speak at all.
"Yes, we are sure." My dad says, crouching down next to me . His green eyes stare into my soul so I know he isn't lying.

I try to stand up and dust myself off, but I fail horribily. I try again, succsesfull this time. I walk myself over to the counter and sit down next to Tom, he looks like he was crying. Hos cheeks are stained pink and his eyes have dullened. He says they wanted to wait until I got home to do it.

"Ok then, lets do it." I say. Just as the the doorbell rings. " I don't want anyone seeing me like this." I plead.
Thomas nods and walks towards the door.
"Hi Tom! I just wanted to give Vi her phone back she left it in my car." He says with a grin on his face. As soon as he sees Tom's face his grin dissapears. "Oh my gosh, are you guys ok?"
"Actually James, come in we where just going to do something imprtant." Mama says." It has to do with Reyna."
As soon as James hears her name he freezes. He stares blankly , straight ahead. He then says
"Thank you." And proceeds to sit down.
"Ok." I choke out and Thomas puts a hand on my shoulder, pulling me closer to him. Mama takes the box cutter and shredds the top of the cardboard box open.

Tons and tons of letters and photographs spill out, allong with VHS recorder. I gasp again and start to rummage through the box.
" Look at all of this!" I say in a mixed tone. "Maybe she'll tell us where she is!" I pick out bits and pieces. There are letters adressed to mama, papa, Tom, James, and I. James picks up a letter with his name adressed on it and asks

"May I?" We all nod our heads yes.
He tears the letter open. I don't know what it says but soon tears streem down his freekled cheeks.
Mama opens a letter adressed to her and starts to bawl. Then Thomas. Then papa. Then me.
Soon enough we're all sobbing on top of a wet counter top. Thinking about Reyna
