Dani's POV
It was a pretty nice day in Canada, so me and Mom decided to go to the beach. We were driving along the busy streets with the windows down and the roof open, causing my ash blonde long hair to blow all over the place. I looked over at my Mom who was laughing at my windswept hair, although, her hair didn't look much better! We just carried on talking, laughing and having a good time. It was just me and my mom, something I'd grown to get used to, since my Dad passed away 7 years ago when I was 10. I never had any siblings, nor did I ever have many friends, socialising just really isn't my strong point. I guess I was happy with what I already had. My Mom was my best friend, and I was hers.
We were about 15 minutes away from the beach when we came to a red traffic light. Me and Mom both groaned in unison but we shortly started laughing. I took a moment to look at my mother, her stunning dark brown hair, her emerald green eyes which mirrored mine, her small dimples when she smiled, she was truly beautiful. I got interrupted from my thoughts by my Moms laughter "what?" She asked. I must've been staring at her, oops! I replied with "you're beautiful Mom", she smiled "why thank you princess, that must be where you get it!" I giggled "Aw Mom! Oh the light's green" I said suddenly realising the lights changed.
Mom pulled forward, but as I looked to my left I saw a van driving straight towards the drivers side of our car, I could tell it was likely to hit us any second, all I could do was scream "MOMMY! LOOK OUT!" Mom looked at me and mouthed "I love you", she tried to turn the car but it was too late. The vehicles had already collided.

I heard high pitched beeps coming from somewhere near me. I gradually opened my eyes to a blinding light, I looked around to try to figure out where I was and how I got there. When I had fully opened my eyes I saw two people looking at me, one looked like a doctor and the other looked kind of like my Aunt Julie?
The woman who looked like my Aunt ran towards me and hugged my legs "Thank God you're awake!" she said while looking up. "Aunt Julie? What are you doing here? Where's Mom? Is she ok? What happened?" I said quietly but panicky. "Sweetie..." Julie begun, "I don't know if you remember, but you and your Mom were in a car accident. You've been asleep for 34 hours and you're Mom, well uh your mom she uh..." "She what?!" I interrupted impatiently. Aunt Julie began to cry, and that's when I knew something was wrong. "She uh, well, baby, she's gone sweetheart. I'm so so sorry. The doctors did everything they could but it was too la-" "You're lying! My Mom wouldn't leave me! Is this some kind of sick joke?! She isn't gone! She's fine! You're lying!" I cried angrily. "Please tell me you're lying, please" I began to sob into Julie's shoulder.
The doctors said my Mother was killed instantly. My mom died, and I didn't, and I don't know why. I just wish somebody would pinch me and wake me up from this nightmare. My mom was my world. My everything. I just don't know if I can go on without her.

Dani's POV
Moving day. Because Mom died and I have no where else to go, I have to move in with my Aunt Julie, all the way to Portsmouth, nope, not Portsmouth in America... The other one, in England.
I've packed both mine and Moms stuff, I'm just not ready to throw away anything of hers yet. I loaded the moving truck and got ready to go. I took one last look at the house me, my Mother and even my Dad once shared. I went to the kitchen and looked behind the door to look at the marks on the wall from the time when, me, mom and dad measured our heights, I was about 7 at the time so I was much shorter than both of them. I laughed to myself thinking about how much fun we got out of just marking our heights on the wall.
I walked towards the living room and saw the permanent mark indented in the carpet from where our christmas tree would stand, reminding me of waking up early every christmas morning and running towards the tree to see what 'Santa' left me and my parents. I still remember how I would sit on my dads lap while mom helped me unwrap my presents. I wish I could go back to those times.
Without even realising I felt a tear run down my cheek. How did I loose the two people who meant the most to me? Why did I lose the people I loved the most? You know what? I'm done with letting people in. If I don't get attached to anyone, then I can't love anyone and that means I can't lose someone I love. This is better for everyone.
I quickly wiped away the tears, grabbed my final bag, walked out the door and locked it. I jumped in Aunt Julie's car and told her I was ready to go. Goodbye Canada. England here I come. New me here I come.
