"Abby honey, wake up love," "five more minutes mom!," "Abalene Kay you better get up and get dressed," "ughhh, fine" i rolled over in bed and stood up, i opened my drawer and pulled out my light blue jeans and and my long sleve purple shirt with the sentence "take me to the moon" on the frong in white lettering, i slipped on my clothes and headed for the door. "Abalene!!" i heard my mom yell "im coming, im coming!" i turned my head and seen my mom standing in the hallway facing her room. "Mom?" I said, she stood still, she never moved, i walked slowly toward her and peeked into her room, it was my grandma and grandpa, they were dead. Blood was everywhere, there was a gun on the floor. "Did they kill themselves?" i whispered, not really looking for an answer. My mom dropped to the floor and cried.
"BREAKING NEWS!" I heard the tv from the living room call out, i walked around my mom to the living room, "a chemical outbreak has officially been reported by the National Science Academy, anyone who breaths this harmful chemical will only suffer majorly, please. Everyone put on gas masks and stay safe," i looked back at my mom who was now gone. I ran to her room and seen her open the window, i imediately seen her face turn completely white and ran over to the window not even thinking about plugging my nose, and slammed the window down. "Mom what were you thinking?! You could have killed yourself!" i started crying and pulled her to her bed. She sat down and stared at the floor.
My grandparents had been staying with us for awhile now, almost 85 years old, me and my mom both knew they were old and depressed, but we never thought we would have to hide the guns. I called Bobby who called 911 and they came and took the bodies away, me and Bobby cleaned the blood as best we could. "Thanks Bobby," "You sure you dont want me to stay Abby?" "I think I can take care of my mom on my own," I told him. "Ok kiddo".
I covered up my now sleeping mom and shut the door, now that a chemical outbreak happened all the schools are shut down until its resolved". Hours passed and my mom never moved from her bed, I have to keep checking on her to make sure she doesnt open her window again, eventually i took some screws and a power drill and drilled the window shut. Im not letting her suffer whatever it is that happens to someone who breaths that air. I heard people screaming outside but i didnt go look i ran to my moms room and sat right next to her bed covering my ears and rocking back and forth, crying.
"Where did it all go Wrong?!" I cried "please be ok mom, please be ok Bobby, and Brother wherever you are, dont die yet, I still have yet to meet you". As soon as the screaming stopped I got up and closed all curtains and headed to my room just wanting this to all be a dream. I knew it couldnt have been, I knew it wasnt. I was just unlucky, and now im alone.
I havent really seen Bobby since that day and my mom never moved. Until a month later when he came over and my mom hung herself.
"I love you," I could feel myself say in my sleep.

It made me wake up, Not knowing how to feel i went to Anthonys room.

I crawled in bed with him and layed down, he woke up "bad dream?" he asked. I nodded my head yes and he pulled the blanket over me. "Youll be ok," he said softly. "Anthony, you should know something about mom.. Shes dead, she hung herself" he stared blankly at the wall above him, I seen him start crying. I crawled back over him, ill be right back. I ran to my room and reached into my bag pulling out 2 envelopes one with my name and one with Anthonys name. I never knew "Anthony" was my brothers name and now i know who this letter was for.
I ran back to anthony who was sitting uo and covering his face. "Here," I said holding out the envelope, "I promised myself I wouldnt open mine until I found you." He grabbed the letter from me and put it in his drawer next to his bed. "I cant cry anymore tonight Abby, how about we read them with dad tomorrow?" "Dad?.. It sounds weird saying that, im still calling him Bobby". "Thats ok, are you still laying with me?" "yes, i cant sleep by myself after this". I crawled into bed and fell asleep almost instantly.
