My Sad Endings

~The Last Call~

It was a late night. Wind hit the house with force, thunder boomed the sky, and rain pelted against the window. I was waiting for my daughter to get home, but she hasn't made it back yet. I heard a banging coming from downstairs and I book it down the stairs. Someone was knocking on the door.

I walk through the kitchen and to the front door. I saw a police officer standing there shining a flashlight. I open the door and let the man in.

"Is something wrong?" I ask him.

"Are you the mother of Anika?" He asked me. I felt worry build inside me.

"Yes. Is my daughter okay? Is she fine?"

"Your daughter has been in a car accident. It's very serious. We got to the scene, her car was smashed and flipped over. We got to her, but she wasn't awake. We immediately took her to the hospital, but she didn't make it," he told me.

I froze. She's dead. My daughter is dead. She isn't coming back. I cover my mouth.

"How did she crash?"

"She was hit by a drunk driver." I let a sob out, tears pour down my cheeks. "I'm sorry for your loss. They have a court date scheduled for Friday to see how long the suspect gets for manslaughter."

I look up at the police officer with tear filled eyes and watch as he gives me a sad look before walking away. I shut the door and slide onto my knees. I heard a beeping noise coming from the living room and saw I had a message on my phone. I decide to listen to it.

"Hey mom, I'm just calling to let you know I'm on my way home. I'm still at Courtney's, but I'm leaving when I hang up. I got you a birthday present, you'll love it! Anyway I'll see you soon. Love you mom."

I could feel my heart break. This was her last call. Her last call was to me. I sit down in the chair and look out the window. It was dark and a storm had come in. I felt tears build inside my eyes and pour down my cheeks as I thought about my daughter.

She's dead.

~Court Date~

Today was the day. The day I get to see the man who killed my daughter. I had to wear something nice since it's for court. I put up my hair in a bun and make my way out to my car and to the court. Once I arrived I parked and head inside. A lot of people were here. I go into our scheduled room and take a seat in the front.

"Good morning everyone. Please take a seat so we can get our case going." I look sound and saw... him.

He looked to be around his 40's. Tall, brown hair, grey eyes, looked unpleasant. He looked guilty. He should! He killed my daughter!

"Can we please have Mr. Connors come up." I watch as he got and made his way over to the judgement stand.

"I'm not going to lie, because it wouldn't be good. Lying wouldn't help at all and it would get me in more trouble then just telling the truth. So I'll tell the truth...... I did kill that girl. I drove back drunk and I killed her. Nothing I say will bring that girl back and I'm sorry."

I look at the man. I could see guilt in his eyes, but I will not forgive him.

"Will the mom of the daughter come up here."

"Hello everyone. I'm the mother of Anika. Anika was friends to many people, but she was also my daughter. She was smart, funny, loving, and caring. My future won't be the same without her. My life was ruined, because someone decided to drive drunk. I'll miss my daughter terribly and I know that a day won't go by were I will miss her. She's not going to graduate, she won't go to prom, and most importantly, she won't be able to find true love. She will never know what her future was to be, because she died in an accident that should've never happened. Nothing will bring her back. And I won't accept anything from you at all."

Everything was quiet. No one say anything. I went back to my seat and sat down.

"The victim of the crash is to spend life in prison of driving drunk and killing Anika. You'll serve community service everyday for 3 hours. Court is dismissed."

I coud feel the relief, but the heart break was still there. My daughter won't be coming home anymore. She won't call me to tell me she's on her way. I won't hear her tell her that she loves me.
