Ashay Pov
I stood there silent staring at my dead parents as they blood stained the white carpet. I looked into the mans eyes they we're dark and emotion less as if he wasn't botherd. I tried to talk to ask him why. Why me? Why my family but I couldn't I couldn't move I felt my head get heavy, my eyes began to close, I soon was uncautious. I woke to the smell of burnt flesh and wood. My legs where hot I began to be lifted. I thought I died but I heard my aunt Angela yelling outside it was a sad feeling I wanted to leave with my parents

Everyone was out side some was crying, cheering,and blank I couldn't read them my aunt grabbed me after they revived me and threw me in the car. I didn't even have shoes on yet I was cold. I could feel something about her seemed it was going to be OK and I was alive so I should be happy. Thats what my moma always told me. I got out of the car and seen my friends that I met while I was at my aunts house last summer but they didn't reconize me so I kelp walking. I stepped into the house and was told to get out. I was confused my aunt told me to take off my clothes and go to the restroom and take a shower. I was clueless until she said you need to get out those clothes.

I been living with my aunt for 8 years I'm 16 now and I been sneaking to my old house since I was 13 when I first went I seen broken windows, graffiti and wooden chips on the floor, blankets from homeless people that was probably there, and burnt walls from the fire. I'm surprised they cleared the fire quick enough that the house still stands. I began going through everything I remembered the safe code:12515 the day my grandad died my father told me when I was 4 the code and told me never tell anybody or forget it. It took me a minute to remeber where the safe was but when i did i went straight to the hardware store. I went and bought a hammer with the 5 dollars i had then i went running back to the house. I took the hammerer and went to my dads closet. I found it typed in the code and oh my God. Money, checks, phone numbers, phones, pictures, and addresses. I put all the stuff in my bookbag and it was so much money I had to put some in my purse and my sock. I had to make two trips and even brought another backpack I'm surprised nobody found it .I had to keep it a secret or my aunt will kill me.
