You wake up in a luxurious bedroom not knowing how you got there. Your admiring the room and see a God of a man sitting on a chair nearby. Little did you know that man could change your life from better to worse.....
Reece and I were crying for what felt like hours. It reminded me of the good ole days where we always had each other's back were basically inseparable.

"Amber, please just think about it." My mother said, in a calm voice. She was honestly pissing me off. She was once again acting as though everything was good. When it really wasn't.
"No it's not fair, how are you just going to send me all the way to New York with people I've never known?" I screamed nearly close to tears. I was sick and tired of her bullsh*t at this point.
"Because it will be better for you baby, you're not actually living with them. You're going to be at the prep school. On weekends, you can stay with them." My father intervened.
I sighed "Because that makes this any better! I don't want to go to a snobby prep school! I don't want to move to New York and I don't want to move to New York and I don't want to leave this house EVER!" I screamed as I ran upstairs to my room. We lived in the rich suburbs of Virginia. We had a 5 bedroom house with a really big backyard. There were mainly mansions around us but I never saw our house as one. Mom and Dad we're sending me tosome prep school in New York while they shipped Reece off to some boot camp. All of sudden, it's like they didn't want us at all.
I heard my parents get into their car and leave. I knew Reece was in his room so I left my room. Walked down the hall and into his. Despite our 3 age difference, Reece and I had a very close brother and sister relationship. Reece was lying on his bed staring at the ceiling . He was quiet enough that I couldn't tell if he was breathing or not. It scared me a little. His entire room was outer space. He was intrigued by it. For some really odd reason. I walked over to where he was laying and laid next to him. He moved over and pulled me towards him. He let me cry there until I fell alsleep.
Little did I know that was the last night I would have with my family together. The next morning, I woke up alone. I walked over to my parents room but there was no sign of them. I made my way downstairs still rubbing the sleep out of my swollen eyes. I walked to the living-room half our family were there. Just watching me as I walked down the steps, they were all crying. I couldn't find Reece in the large crowd. I didn't understand why so I walked over to my grandmother who lived all the way in Los Angeles. I figured if she was here, then something important must be happening she opened her arms and embraced me. The hug felt different it felt like a sorrow hug. She sat down and pulled me in front of her.
"Sweetie...Your mommy and daddy were in an accident." She told me with tears in her hazel brown eyes. I didn't understand so I just stared at her with a confused expression on. "Baby they didn't make it." She finished. I just stared at her. I looked around at the crowd of people staring at me with that sympathetic look on their faces. I zoned them out and stared at the many photographs hanging up with my family in it. All of us looking happy as ever, like there wasn't a problem in the world. Grandma pulled me to her and hugged me tight. My 10 year old brain couldn't understand anything that was happening. It might have been from the grogginess after just waking up, or my brain was trying to shield me from traumatizing events. I just didn't take anything.
