*flashback*

"No parties, no staying out late, and only 1 friend over each ... and listen to your aunt"
"Call us if you need anything or if there is an emergency, but don't call too much this IS our anniversary getaway"
"Our plane is boarding give your mom and dad a kiss"
"Bye kiddos take care we love you"
"Bye mom bye dad"
later that day
*ring ring*
"Hello? .. Yes this is the Edwards' residence... this is their aunt speaking... yes they are here in the living room ... WHAT ?!"
*house phone falls out aunt's hand*
she turns to face us her hand covering her mouth and her eyes watering.
"Th-their plane .. i-it crashed on the way" she says her voice shaking her hands covering her mouth.
I get up from the couch quickly. "W-what?! There's no way" I say. "It can't be.." I say again my voice soft and shaky. My heart is pounding faster and faster by the second and I feel every beat of it. I feel like my heart is going to fall out of my chest. My eyes are watering I feel the tears going down the sides of my cheeks. One hand covering my mouth and one holding my stomach. I feel hands touch my shoulders and then wrap around me. I look at my brother, he is crying his eyes are red. He hugs me hard and he buries his head into my neck. I feel my aunt hug both of us as I cry into my brothers shoulder.
2 weeks later
"We are gathered here today to show our love and support for the Edwards children's very precious family. Not only have we sensed our own personal feelings of loss over their parents Samuel and Ana Edwards' passing, but our hearts have been drawn toward them, and will continue to be with them." When the speeches were done it was time to go up and look at the coffins. Many flowers and little gifts were left in them.
"Stay strong sweetie, take care of your sister"
"Call if you need anything"
"Don't loose hope"
"Don't loose faith"
"Take care of each other"
Those were just some of the phrases I heard that day. Hug after hug, kiss after kiss, pat on the back after pat on the back. I felt it all, but most of all I felt the pain. That horrible striking pain in my chest. I felt like I was getting punched repeatedly the whole time the pastor was giving his speech.
*flashback over*
September 1st, 2016
This summer was crazy, and not in a good way. My twin brother, Rhett, and I lost our parents in a plane crash. My aunt Abigail who is now our guardian has taken somewhat good care of us. When my parents bodies were found they were sent over to Charlottesville, Virginia where we live. We had a funeral as soon as possible and I think just about the whole town showed up. Our parents were amazing. They were friends with just about everyone in this town. Everyone knew them, and everyone loved them. Our parents never really told us what they worked in, we just knew that it was highly important, top secret, and that they made a lot of money doing their job. We were given so many gifts at the funeral from close friends and colleagues of our parents. Things are very different now that our parents are gone, much quieter and lonelier. School is starting in a few days. I'm starting my sophomore year. I'm definitely not ready to face everyone. I know I am going to be bombarded with questions and stuff like "Don't worry, everything will be fine" "Stay strong" "Call me if you need anything" "I'm here for you" from random students that I've never even talked to before.

BEEP BEEP BEEP
I groan and put a pillow over my face. I look over at the clock, 6:30 a.m. I don't know how but I managed to pull my body out of bed. I grab a fresh bra and underwear from my drawers and head to my bathroom. I'm happy I got this room because it has it's own bathroom unlike my brother's, his bathroom is out in the hall. I grab two towels, one for hair and one for body. I turn on the shower and undress while I wait for the water to get hot. I get in the shower and immediately feel relaxed as the warm water hits my body. I face away from the shower making sure my hair gets completely wet. I grab a loofa and put some body wash on it and begin to scrub. I finish washing my hair with shampoo and conditioner and get out of the shower. I quickly dry off and change into jeans and a pink tank top with a white under shirt and throw on a black leather jacket that is some what cropped so it stops right before the waist of my pants. I let my hair out of the towel and brush it so it can air dry. I brush my teeth and put on deodorant, body lotion, and a bit of body spray. I put on my all black vans and head downstairs.
"Morning," my aunts says to me. She is hovered over the stove. "Something smells good," I say as I breathe in lightly. "I made some pancakes for you and your brother" she says, "speaking of your brother is he awake yet?" She yells Rhett's name as he is coming down the stairs. "I'm ready, I'm ready" he says. He sits down beside me at the kitchen table and my aunt gives us our plates. "Thanks," we say in unison. "Hope you like them," she says and she serves herself and sits down across from us. "Do you two need a ride to school?" she asks us as she eats a piece of her pancake. "Actually, my friend is gonna pick me up soon" Rhett says as he finishes his food. "You're ditching me?" I say and stop to look at him. "We always go to school together..." I say sounding a bit sad. "Yeah, and that's why everyone think we're a couple. Gotta do some things separately from now on sis" he says and gets up to put his plate in the sink. He grabs his jacket and backpack and heads out the door. I look over at my aunt who is licking the syrup off her fork. "I'll give you a ride if you want," she says smiling. "It's okay, I'll walk it's still early anyways." I say and go upstairs to grab my book bag. I look at myself in the mirror on my vanity. The pictures taped on to the mirror bring a lot of memories back. There's pictures of me in my cheerleader uniform, pictures of me and my brother with our parents on our birthday, and some pictures of me with old friends. I take a deep breath and head downstairs. "See you later, aunt Abby" I say and kiss her goodbye before heading out. I look at my phone, it's 7:30. I don't live far from school but I don't live too close either. I decide to take a short cut through the woods behind the park. I walk slowly, being careful not to fall or trip over any big branches. I'm finally on the other side of the woods where my school's at so I stop and take a deep breath. As I'm walking towards school I see a black mustang at the corner of the street about to turn to go into the school parking lot. I look into the window of the driver seat as I pass by it. A guy is in there. He is sort of pale with a very sharp jawline. He has sunglasses on. His hair is brown and he has it up in a quiff. He has a dangling earring in his ear. He looks at me and gives me a smirk but I look away and continue to walk into school.
I get my class schedule from the administration office and head to my locker that they assigned me. It's close to the guys restroom and as I'm putting some of my textbooks in my locker I look over and see Rhett with his group of friends. I see them hand his something in a little bag and he puts into his pocket. He looks around before going into the restroom. I roll my eyes and close my locker door before following him into the guy's bathroom. "What do you think you're doing?" I say as I grab his arm to turn him around. "Ray, what are you -" he begins to say but I stop him. Ray is my nickname. "What did they give you," I say putting my hand out so he can place it in my hand. He lets out a breath of air before placing the little baggy in my hand. "Weed, are you kidding me right now? Rhett the year just started and you're already messing up" I say putting the bag in my back pocket. "It's just weed Ray calm down," he says annoyed. "Just weed? Before you know it you're gonna be snorting cocaine. I don't want to see you with drugs ever again" I say looking him straight in the eyes. "You're not the boss of me," he says and begins to walk out but I grab his arm. "No but I'm your older sister," I say. "By 5 minutes, big deal" he says and walks out of the restroom. I hear the bell ring and pull out the bag from my back pocket and throw it in the trash. As I walk out of the guy's restroom I run into someone dropping my book bag and phone.
