This is just the start of the story I don't have much of it done but if you like it let me know and I will write more. The main character is Jenny Edwards if you have a better last name that starts with E please tell me I would appreciate the help. Thank you. I hope you enjoy. I posted this on Quizzilla and Mibba I didn't get any response and was hoping that I could get some on here so please tell me what you think.

I will never forget the sounds of that night. The metal crushing into the tree, the air bags deploying, most of all the screams that were cut off by death.

Those screams were the last sounds I would ever hear from my parents. I was left with the sounds and images of there deaths that will haunt me for the rest of my life.

I wish that I could have heard my moms laugh one last time or one of the many stories my dad loved to repeat. I can't help but feel guilty that I walked away from the crash with my life and they didn't.

Looking at the polished boxes that hold my parents prisoners in death is so heard that my eyes are misty. Since the crash I find myself clinging to the hope that this is all a dream and I'll wake up to have my parents' shaking me awake from this nightmare.

Now looking at these boxes all hope is gone. Everything is real again. All dream quality is lost. The tears washed away the allusion. They made me aware of all my surroundings again.

I now finally see that to my left is my mom's closet friend, Ms. Evens, that she grew up with in Virginia. At the discovery of this I was filled with questions like, when did she show up in Florida? Who told her what happened? Did she plan the funerals? How long does she plan on staying? Where's her son? Then my silent questions turned to different ones like, what's going to happen to me? Where am I going to live? Who's going to take care of me?

I have no more capable relatives since both my parents were only children and there parents were long time dead except for my grandma on my moms side but she cant take care of me because she was in a nursing home up in Virginia. I have no one left. I'm going to be one of those foster kids that no one wants because I'm seventeen. Maybe they'll let me live on my own. I only have one year till I'm eighteen.

I was pulled out of my internal rant by someone softly talking.

"Jen, Jenny come on hun its time to go." Ms. Evens said to my left.

I follow after her figuring she's the one who drove me here. When we arrive at a car I didn't recognize I guessed that she rented a car when she unlocks the doors.

I get in the passenger side and ask "where are we going now?"

"To the house so that you can pack." She replied.

I gave her a look that had my confusion written all over it and she added "your parents' lawyer called while you were getting ready for the funeral. Your parents' left guardianship to me. So you will be moving in with me and will be going to school with Conner my son. You remember him right? I know it's been awhile since you've seen each other but I'm sure you will get along..." She continues to try and reassure me but I tune her out.

All I can think about is how Conner used to torment me when we would see each other during the summer.
