10 years ago Grace POV

It all started in Ohio I lived a nice red house in a beautiful neighborhood. I went to 2 grade like I did every day. It was a very cool fall morning.

The leaves were just fall down because of the slight breeze. I got on the bus like I did in the morning. I was the first stop in the morning so I looked out the window waiting to get to school.

I went to a private school we had morning prayer said the pledge of allegiance then we started science class. Then we transitioned into reading I was daydreaming and looking out the window at the cloudy sky thinking about recess in a few hours.

"Grace, Grace," I looked up at my teacher and she said, "Grace the principal just called you to the office." All of my other class mates were saying "ohhhhhhh" I just rolled my eyes at them and got up and started walking towards the office.

I started thinking what would the office need I don't think I have a doctor appointment I didn't think I had a dentist appointment either.

I got to the office I was waiting for them to call me into the principal office and I was looking out the window and this big flash of lighting scared me then it started to pour outside you could hear the rain on the metal roof. 
*Bang bang bang*

The principal said, " Grace come in."
"why did call me in here Mr. Smith" I asked as I looked up and there was a tear running down his face
"what's wrong" I said as I handed  him a tissue
Mr. Smith said "don't know how to tell you this."
I bet it's okay whatever it is just tell me I said very calmly
Mr. Smith said in a squeaky voice "well your parents went for a run this morning."
"Yeah that seems like them the love to run together with bailey my dog", I exclaimed
Mr. Smith hesitated "well.... a man was texting on his phone and he didn't see your mom and dad and he hit them ."
I started to tear up
"your dad tried to save your mom and jumped in front of the truck he died immediately but your mom died on the way to the hospital. I'm so sorry I had to tell you like this." Mr. Smith said as his voice cracked

I started to tear up I ran out of the office into the bathroom and I cried harder then I am have ever cried before I just sat on the floor and cried
I may have been 8 but I knew that I would never see my mom and dad again

That was the worst day of my life
