It Wasn't Meant To Be

Chapter 1

"So, who's going on the mission?" "I think you and your mo----". "Dad, dad! I start realizing that my dad has been shot as a falls to the floor.  *gunshots*. As I duck with my mom under the counter I hear multiple gunshots going of and blood all over. I drag my dad body that's laying  that's laying on the floor and my mom and I start trying to help my dad. I rip a piece off of my dads shirt and cover the spot were it's bleeding and try to stop the flow of the blood. We stop and finally realize that my father is gone.

My mom is in tears and I'm holding her letting her drench my t-shirt in tears. I'm not crying, tears won't come. I sit there shocked with my mother in my arms not able to move a muscle. My father, the one who has taught me everything. To help others, to be kind, work hard, and live the best life I can live, my best friend, is now laying body less in front of me.  

Many more gunshots go off and finally it's quiet for a minute until I hear a husky voice saying, "make sure everyone is dead, that no on is alive. Get to work NOW!"

My mom and I try to stay as still as possible as I see feet stop right in front of our faces. After a few minutes I hear a different voice saying, "alright, were all good no one is alive." The same voice as before came from the person standing right in front of us said,"good, let's head out." The guy had a voice that sounded like it was in control.

As they leave, I sit up with my mom and look around and see that no one else that was in the building was alive but us. We just lost everything that we had. Everything. Our friends and my dad are all gone. No one is left.

We didn't fight back because we would've been outnumbered. We would've died like everyone else.

I stand up and my mom lays down next to my dad laying on the floor that's covered in blood that's still pouring out from the shot that hit him in his abdomen. My mom wraps her arm over his chest and holds him. My mom and dad were high school love birds. They were meant for each other.

We wait for a couple more minutes as my mom talks to my dad and we finally go leaving a kiss on my dads forehead. Were almost to the front door before my mom looks at me and says,        "This was our life Violet and know it's gone. We will have to start all over. Be ready for the journey." I look at my mom and see fresh tears starting to well up in her eyes.

I take one step towards her and crush her into my arms. I whisper in her ear and say, "Well let's make it a great journey. Together we will get through it all. I love you mom, forever."

We jump in the car and head home. We each go to the bathroom to take a shower I strip out of my clothes and lay them on the counter. I turn the handle and let the shower warm up and step in.

I let the warm water drip all over me and I just stand there thinking of what I could've done to help my dad. Thinking of all of our memories together. We were best friends. Always laughing or eating our favorite ice cream in a cone. Going to the park or beach and playing soccer. We kept our fake identity so no one would know who we are and lived a normal life just like a normal family.

I take the luffa and scrub my body with bath and body works soap. I wash my hair with lavender scented shampoo and conditioner and step out and wrap myself in my white shower towel. I dry myself and walk over my closet and  pick out my pink soffe shorts and a black loose t-shirt that I stole from my dad.

I go to my moms room to ask her if we should call the police and send them to building and check out everything. We call the police and send them to the building.

I go down stairs and heat the left over lasagna from last night and take out some plates for my mom and I. When she gets down stairs we eat in silence and finally I break it by asking , "should we move to a different town or state?" She says, "We're going to move in a week so we better start packing." "Where are we moving mom?" "We're moving to Florida." "Mom, are you serious, Florida is so hot why can't we move to a different state like North Carolina or Tennessee." "Well sweetie, I think Florida would be a great place to move. Its going to be very different from here, but it's going to be ok." "Alright I'll go, but let's move to a house on the beach. You know it's going to be hard leaving this place. All the memories are here." "Well hun, we need to move on but you father will always been in our hearts." "I miss him a lot. It's going to be very different without him around, but will get past it all."

We finish the lasagna and we lay on the couch watching tv. We put on whatever and just sit there in silence. Today just happened so fast and we can't bring my dad back. It's just me and my mom now. We're on our next journey, together.
