Avery's POV:
"Avery, I don't want to get out of bed.." my little sisters says. "But you have to! School starts in an hour and you still need to get ready." I respond. "But Avery, I am so tired!" "You still have to go."
My little sister sighs and gets out of bed. She's been looking bad lately. She doesn't want to eat or go to school, I have to make her. Oh mom, I wish you were here to help me.. You always knew what was going on with everybody.
I walk down stairs and start making breakfast. The bus will be here in half an hour. I get my backpack and when Grace gets down stairs, I give her breakfast and we're ready to go.
Things have been like this for almost a year. 350 days ago, my mom and dad died in a car accident.
It was winter, and my parents found it too cold to let us walk to school. They decided to drop us of, because they both had a day off and they wanted to visit my grandmother, who lives only 15 minutes away from our school.
They kissed us goodbye, and told us that they would pick us up at 3 pm. That was the last time we got a kiss from them.
They were on their way to my grandmother when it happened. Some drunk idiot drove them off the road. It went fast, the police told us. My parents didn't suffer. But I don't believe that. I have to find the one that drove them off the road. I have to see him or her and tell the person how much I hate him/her. I want to tell, how we felt, when the 2 police officers walked into my classroom to tell me, my parents died.
"Avery?" ".... sorry what?" "I asked you if you wanted Oreos at lunch. " She smiled. "that would be delicious. Now hurry sweetie, we need to get to school."
