Dawn's POV

I woke up I didn't know exactly what was the time I was laying in a room I had a serious head ache I felt someone touching me I saw my best friends hailey, mariah, and tinker. they all had sad faces mom dad the moment I thoughts of them I sat up quickly "where are they ??" I looked at my friends who were looking at me with there sad faces which I wasn't used of I got off the bed n ran downstairs and my friends running after me . The first thing that caught my sight were two graves then my little brother standing infront of the graves brian I walked slowly not caring that I wasn't wearing any shoes on my legs I stood next to him I was holding my tears because he hated seeing me cry

"dawn ..." he hugged me tightly I couldn't hold the tears I let them flow I hugged him more tighter .after some minutes we let go "mom and dad ...."he sniffed and wipped off the tears on his eyes "they.....they..."

"i know " I interrupted before he could finish his we stood there staring at the graves I never even once thought that my parents would be gone so soon because I never imagined my life without them .last year Emily one of my classmates lost both her parents and her aunty refused taking care of her instead she took all her parents belongings and left Emily helpless. who is going to take care of us?? are they going to take all my parents companies?? who will control them?not aunt monica she is harsh?? someone removed me out of all these thoughts by shaking me. I turned seeing linet holding a black pair of flats I took them from her and wore them. after I was done I looked at her and she hugged me . she has been our family bodyguard since I was born having one son calvin .

"stay strong Dawn you have lots of responsibilities after the funeral " she whispered to me and let go forcing a smile . you have lots of responsibilities after the funeral what did she mean by that .I just loked at her and nodded people came to pay their condolences .minutes later they took the graves away
