*17 years earlier*
"BARRY! HELP!" I hear from downstairs. As I jump out of my bed in a panic, I hear my mom screaming a blood-curdling scream. I run down the stairs and see a blue light circling around my mom at an impossible speed, my dad helplessly trapped in the corner.
"Mom!" I try to shout but the noise of screaming and thunder cuts me off. A lump forms in my throat and tears sting my eyes.
Minutes later, the police show up, and the force that killed my mom disappeared in a flash.
My dad is still in the corner, shocked at what he is seeing. The police cuff him out of the assumption that he killed my mom. I tried to convince them that it wasn't him, but they didn't take it.
I chase after them and watch as they throw my dad in the back of the police car and zoom down the street, their sirens wailing loudly and bouncing off the exterior walls of the houses lining the street. Fire trucks and ambulances line the front of my house, the blood and the blue flash plays back in my head as I watch them take my mom to the ambulance.
An EMT lady helps me into the back of the ambulance as I sob my eyes out at the sight of my dead mom.
What is gonna happen with me? I have no parents. I will be put in foster care.
