Everything Happens For A Reason

empty

numb

frozen

That's what I felt.  Your whole life can change in just one minute, so sudden, so unexpected, why just.. why does it have to be me.. out of everyone in the world why chose me, it's not that I would wish this upon  somebody else, it's just... there so many evil people living in this world. My whole life I've been good. I remember being a good girl, always eating my vegetables, cleaning around the house, helping my mum with cooking, the list goes on. So how is it I ended up here, in a sterilised hospital room , kneeling besides my loving mother and fathers frozen figures. A breath not leaving their lips. Bodies white as ice, no movement. One phone call  can make the ground beneath you collapse. My perfect life surrounded by people who love me. Gone. In an instant. I feel the hot tears run down my face as I shut my eyes. Wishing that if there was a god he would put an end to my misery. Let the floor swallow me up. Taking my last breath. Just like my parents. Gone. One phone call could have you wishing you were dead too.

FLASHBACK

"Honey, your father and I are going to the city. We should be back by eight o'clock" I heard my mum shout out to me from downstairs. Taking a deep breath, finally finding the energy to get off my bed I slowly made my way downstairs to the kitchen. Hopping up on a bench stool I swung my legs back and forth.

" Where are you guys going" I ask,  grapping a juicy apple out of the fruit bowl, taking a loud bite.

" Don't you remember sweetheart, it's our 20th anniversary," she said, as I watched my father wrap his arms around her waist from behind, Placing a loving kiss to the side of her temple.  20 years and they are still in love as they were when they first met. I could only wish for something like my parents found. True love, but that isn't something that's common anymore. Love is now known as a rarity. My mother turned around to face him. Then started the kissing. Right in the middle of the kitchen. Forgetting I was even there. It's nice to know that my parents are still very much in love but seriously gross!

"Okay, okay break it up you too, daughter  in there room here" I said hoping of the stool trying to separate them. They pulled apart with a chuckle, smiling at each other, like teenagers in love they were.

"Alright alright were leaving. There's money on the counter and if you need anything don't hesitate to call us. And if an uninvited guest turns up the umbrella's at the side of the door" mum said jokingly  as she and dad walked to the front door, giving me a quick kiss on the cheek. Pushing the door shut behind them. Yes I let my parents kiss me good bye. Don't judge.

Running up the stairs to my room, I dived across the room from my door way straight onto my bed. Grapping my phone off the bed side table, seeing I have a text from Lauren AKA my bestfriend since we were in dippers, wanting to know if I was up for a trip to starbucks. Letting her know I'll be there in 10. And for the second time today I found the strength to leave my bed, I quickly began looking for an outfit to wear.

I looked outside the window, seeing the sun out. It looked warm so I decided on choosing a pair of denim ripped shorts, a white tank top that sat just above my belly button, showing my navel piercing, along with a pair of black flats. I looked into the mirror seeing my piercing blue eyes staring back at me. I ran my hands through my wavy golden brown locks. I decided on applying black mascara along my long lashes. Accentuating their curve, adding to their already long length. I gently put on some counselor blending it in with my tanned skin.

I walked along to my full length mirror, satisfied with the result. I ran down the stairs, grabbing the car keys to my BMW. I locked the front door, not knowing what news awaits me when I arrive.
