It's been 3 months sense the accident. Sense then I haven't left my room. I got miner injuries but my parents didn't make it. The car had flipped over and of course neither of them had seat belts on. So now I live with my aunt and uncle and my cousin Michael who was the same age as me. I've barely  been to school sense the accident. It's to hard and I can't face seeing all my friends right now. At that I heard a knock on my door. I leaned over and checked the time, it read 10:37 am. It was a Saturday so Michael would be home all day or with his friends. Another knock came at that door. I almost forgot someone had been there.

"Sky, you awake?" I heard Aunt Katherine say.
I almost didn't want to say anything cause I didn't feel like talking to anyone right now but of course I did.
"Uh yes, come in" I said loud enough for her to hear.

She came in with a bright smile and a plate of food, I'm guessing for me. She placed the plate on my desk next to my bed and sat at the end of my bed. She looked over at me and gave me a small smile.
"So, Skylar.. I was thinking maybe you could go watch Mikey and his band play tonight, I think he would really appreciate it." She had a hopeful look in her eyes.
This happened every Saturday morning. She'd ask me to watch him and his band play and I would always turn her down. I don't think anyone would want me there anyway so why should I go?
It could be fun..
What am I saying? I haven't left this house sense the day I walked in and I don't plan to now.
"Aunt Kath.. I don't know..." I finally said, trying not to make eye contact with her.
I looked up because she didn't say anything after that. She looked sad, like she didn't know what to say. Until she said,
"You know sweetie.. You can't just sit in this house all day and avoid what has happened. I know it's hard for you, I really do, but I don't think locking yourself in your room for another 3 months is the right answer."
I was rethinking what she just said. I know she's right. I just don't want to admit it. I'm just scared to get back out there without my parents. I know they weren't the best but they loved me and I loved them. And I don't wanna face this awful world without them. But, I guess I have to whether I like it or not. I sighed and finally said, "okay." She looked up at me in disbelief. "W-what?" She said.
"I'll go. I know your right. I can't stay in here for the rest of my life, even though I want to," I let out a small laugh.
"I've missed that laugh, you know?" She then came over to me and gave me a tight hug as to say 'thank you' and I hugged her back. When we let go there were tears in her eyes. "I'm so proud of you honey." I smiled at her. And it was real. Not the fake smile I'd been using all these months, it was real. And my did it feel good to smile again.
" I'll go let Michael know! He's gonna be thrilled" she beamed.
When she left the room, I started rethinking what had just happened. Part of me thought it was a great idea, that I need a get out and meet some new people and move on. And another part of me thought.. What the hell did I just do?
