We get a letter in the mail from my dad's army troop. My mom's not home so I read it. I think I know what happened, but I'm not sure.
Sure enough, it's a report saying that my dad.....died.
I sit there. Im just in a shock. Soon, a tear rolls down...then many more. I start sobbing and my dog, Poppy, a golden retriever walks up to me and nuzzles my leg. I pat her head, "Dad died."
She seems to understand me and in her eyes, I can see how sad she is.

"He died? does that mean he can never play with me again? Kaylee looks so sad. I need to help her. I can almost cry, but I can't. I'm just too sad."

"Oh dad! why?"
My mom comes home and I show her the letter. At first she says nothing, then she screams.
I back away, not saying anything
She turns to me "Nooooooooo!!!" she yells. She screams at me blaming me for my fathers death.
I cry and run to my room. I can't take it anymore. I lock the door and flop onto my bed. I need to run away, I think to myself, I need to.
I set an alarm for 2:00 AM and fall asleep.
