-Alexis P.O.V-

"WHAT HAPPEND SPENCE,TELL ME," I yelled.

"Alexis, Your paren-ts, Th-they m-met with an accident." She said.

"WHAT," The phone fell onto the ground,so were my tears.

Zac picked it up.

"Talk Alexis, Just Talk to her."

"A-are the-y" I couldn't get words out of my mouth.

"Ale-xis, I-am s-sorry. They are no more." She cried.

Why, just why?
"

Please- Please tell me this is a lie." I begged her.

"I-I wish it was. Come here as soon as possible.." She said and I hung up.


I cried. First Caleb now my parents. What was the world wanting from me? My mind stopped making sense.

"This can't be happening, No, I want my parents back! This is not fair" I cried aloud.

"Alexis, Alexis come here," Zac pulled me into a hug.
"

Hey,its..I can understand, I-I think we should leave as soon as possible." He said.

"I-I have to go," I said.

" I'm coming too." He said.

"No,y-ou don't have to."

"But I want to." He said.

I somehow held myself together and took a flight back to London.

*IN LONDON*

I rushed from the airport to the hospital Spencer texted me.

I barely spoke. All that came out were tears.

We reached the hospital, I ran past every one to find Spencer sitting with her head in her hands.

"S-spence," I tapped her shoulder.

She looked up at me, with her eyes puffy, she stood up and hugged me.

"I-I'm sorry..I-I couldn't," She cried into my shoulder.

I cried too.

"He-y i-its okay, Wh-where are they?" I asked.

"In..In there." She pointed to the morgue.

I took a deep breath, Tears kept escaping my eyes.

I entered the freezing room. There lay my parents lifeless cold bodies.

I fell onto my knees.

"Mo-om,Dad" I cried.

I stood up, and went over to mom, her body laid there, she looked so peaceful. The glow on her face never faded.

I held her cold hand.

"Mom, I- I can't believe you've left me." A tear rolled down my cheek and fell onto her hand.

I looked over at Dad. He looked like an angel, that small smile still on his face.

"Dad, Dad, I hope you know I am eternally gratefully to you, for loving me so many years like your own. I-I," I whispered to him.

After spending some time in there, I walked out. Shaken and broken. Anger burning inside me, I need to take some action against whoever did this.

As I was about to step out, my phone buzzed.

From: Blocked ID
Sorry for your loss darling, but they're in a happier place now, and you're mine hahahaha. Not the only one hiding things
Kisses.

I clenched my fist.

Zac and Spencer stood there looking at me.

"You alright?" He asked as he placed his hand on my back gently rubbing it.

I nodded silently.

"Do you know who did it?" I asked her.

"No..all I know was that they were returning home from the airport and a speeding vehicle collided with them. The driver escaped taking advantage of the crowd."

"I'm gonna find that guy, no matter what I have to do." I said.

"I'm with you," Zac and Spencer said in unison.

"Come let's go home. You look exhausted." Spencer said.

"Yeah, go home and rest Alexis," Zac said.

I nodded.

They dropped me off at my place, and Spencer said she's going to get food.

I went home, a home that had lost its feeling. Emptiness, loneliness and silence held it together.

I walked past our family pictures, ones where we were happy as a family, as a kid and as I grew up.

I then walked up to their room.
It smelled like them.

I sat there on the bed, as I stared at the pictures on the wall. And Mom and my picture next to the night stand.

I opened one of the drawers to find tons of pictures lying there.

I grabbed a few and stared at them. Flashbacks and memories played. My crying never stopped.

As I was going through all of the photos I found something red below the pile of photos, it was a file with Important written on it. I wiped my tears.

What was this file doing here underneath all of these photos?

I opened it and realised it was a contract.

"Alexis?" Spencer called out.

"I'm up here," I said.

I heard her footsteps so I quickly hid the file under the pillow.

"What are you doing here?" She said.

"Nothing, just looking at all the things thats left of them," I said.

"Alright, come lets eat," she said.

"I'm not hungry, I-I'll go to sleep." I said and got up and left.

I went into my room and closed the door.

What was the contract? Why was it hidden from me? Could that file be holding answers to my questions?

My head was dizzy and heavy, my eyes puffy and sore. That night falling asleep was the hardest thing to do.
