Taylor POV

I wake with the sun blinding me. I find myself in a small 1 room cottage it's comfy in a stuffy kinda way. I turn and start to slip out of my bed but, as soon as my feet touch the door my knee buckles and that's when I notice the cast on my leg.

*flashback*

Water seeps into my lungs as a deadly scream of pain encases me. And then arms....the arms....of who I can't remember

*flashback over*

I hear footsteps approaching the door. I quickly collect myself finally the door opens revealing a face I never thought to see again "dad?" I whisper not wanting to be proven wrong.

"Taylor," he answers me,"you truly are as beautiful as I thought you would be."

"Thanks," I mumble still shocked. I can feel my cheeks turn to flames, "where's mom?"

"She's," he stops looking down at his hands and I know what he will say next. No! The I try to scream but it won't come out. Silent tears slip from my eyes as I await his words. "Your mother is gone she died last winter, I'm sorry Taylor."

My mother is gone. As the words sunk in I realized this is what it feels like to be broke. I don't mean broke as in heartbreak I'm mean broke as in my soul shattered into a million pieces and died. The tears were beginning to stop when I finally looked up at my dad. He didn't have to say anything he just stood and I followed limping behind him. We walked in silence to a small clearing where a small gravestone sat. The gravestone read 'in loving memory of Grace' under that there was a line she used to always tell me 'no one is ever gone they only go missing for little while'. My father eventually left me there sitting next to my mothers grave.

When I finally get up its almost night. I walk back to the house and fall asleep thinking fate my life can't possibly get worse but fate had other plans.
