I can still feel and see the memories of what happened 5 months ago...the crash, the big grenade and death. I can see the memories flash again: the storm, the deer and most of all me and my father...

I still can't believe he's gone-

"Ashley let's go! We need to hurry", my little 9 years old sister interrupted my thoughts. "I'm coming", I sighed. You probably don't understand anything right now, right? Well let me introduce myself. My name's Ashley Anderson, I'm 16 years old. I have big Hazel eyes, long wave blond hair that reaches to my stomach.

I have two nine years old twin sisters : Tori  who's bigger than her twin sister Liz with two minutes. They both have brunette her just like my mom and the difference between them is that Tori has the same eye color as mine and Liz like my father, dark green eyes.

We moved from our hometown New York and moved in Californa, in a beach Mansion. We moved here with my best friend Chloe, her mom and her big brother Cole. As you can see we moved because my father died in a car crash and I was with him, I had some bruises, but I survived, but my father didn't ...

Chloe and her family moved with us because my mom and Chloe's mom been best friends since they were both in diapers.

"Ash let's go we need to put the furniture in the living room" , Chloe told me bored. "Okay, let's go", I answered.

My mom and Courtney (Chloe's mom) put our boxes in our rooms. "Are you gonna try out for dancing when we go to school next week with me? I read on the Website that there is a dance squad!", Chloe asked hopefully. "I guess...", I sighed. "Come on Ash after the....the acc...the accident happened...you didn't do anything and now we moved. You need to move on as well..." she said scared that I will cry again.

Well when she mentioned it, I felt my eyes watering. But I have to be strong for my family and myself. But Chloe's right, I need to move on with my life. "Yeah... I think you're right..." I trailed off. "YAY", Chloe squealed. "Okay now can we go back to finish the living room?", I asked. "Yeah let's finish it, I want to take a shower.", she answered.

"Ashley where are you going?", my mom asked me. "I will take a walk on the beach...to clear my mind of things...", I tokd her.

"...Okay sweety, don't be late. Dinner will be ready in an hour or so." , mom said.

"Don't worry", I said. I just finished my room and my bathroom who's attached to my bedroom. I walked out of the door and walked a head to the beach.

I could smell the salt water and could hear the beautiful waves. I love these kind of moments... it's so relaxing. But the problem is that every time I feel these things...it comes back to my father, because my dad always loved the beach like me.

I felt tears on my cheek and I wiped it quickly because I hate crying. When I finally arrived at the beach no one was here so I was really happy and I sat on the sand and watched the waves. After I felt it's getting dark I went back home.

"Ashley!!" , my little sister Liz squealed, jumped in my arms and hunged me. "Hey Liz! Did you finish your room?", I asked her. "Yep!", she said happily. "Great! Now let's go! Dinner must be ready", I took her smal hand in my hand and we both went to the dining room.

And I was right, everyone setting the food and waiting for us. "There you are! I thought you got lost and got kidnapped", Chloe as always thinks to much. "Chloe you seriously need to stop watching Horror movies! You think to much really! I mean come on, the beach is right in front of us how could she get lost and get kidnapped?!", Cole said annoyed.

"Sorry...", Chloe blushed and went to the kitchen to help her mother bring the dishes. "What's wrong Cole? Is something wrong?" , I said after Chloe went to the Kitchen. "It's just that I've tried to call Dani, but she doesn't answer and I'm worried." Cole sighed.

Dani is Cole's girlfriend. She's 17 younger than him with two years. She is really cute with her red Hair and green eyes. "Didn't she say that she have a project with Alex?", I asked.

"WHAT??!!!", Cole shouted. "WHO'S THAT ALEX??!! WHAT PROJECT ?!!" "Cole calm down it's fi-", but he cut me off.

"NO WHO'S THAT ALEX!! I SWEAR I'M GONNA KILL THAT SUN OF A BIT-", I cut him quickly "COLE!!!" and motioned with my hand at Liz who's watching him with shock and fear. "Oh I'm sorry Lizzy. Don't worry, I'm just worried about Dani.", he calmed my sister. She nodded. "More like over protective with Dani." I said under my breath. Lizzy giggled. Cole glared at me and I just smiled innocently.

"First of all Cole the project is about to right an essay with the person who is sitting next to her about her favorite place, which means who is sitting next to her is Alex. Second of all Alex is a GIRL!!", I explained him.

Liz giggled at Cole's red face of embarrassment . "I-I- I knew that...", he said embarrassing. "Riiiiggghhtt.", me and Liz said at the same time sarcastically. We looked all three of us at each other and started to laugh.

At this moment Chloe, Courtney and mom came back with the rest of the food and the dishes. They set it up and we ate happily and talked and laughed with each other until I realized something... "Where's Tori?", I asked. The room went silent and all of us were worried, until Liz said:" Last time I saw her, she was putting her photo albums on her desk." "I'll go see if she's okay", I said.

I stood up from my chair and went upstairs to her room. I knocked softly and said:" Tori? Dinner is ready." But she didn't answer. I knocked again but a little bit harsher, but she didn't answer. That's when I heard sobbing. So I knew she was in there so I went in.

Her room is aqua blue and she has a closet next to the door and she has another door which leads to her bathroom, she has a desk in front of the window which shows a beautiful view of the beach and Tori was on her bed next to the desk crying and sobbing and she was hugging a picture. And I knew immediately that it is a picture of dad.

"Heyy. What's wrong Tori?", I went to her bed and hugged her, she hugged me back, crawled on my lap and she cried more in my chest and said sobbing:" I miss him Ashley! I miss him so much. I don't want him to leave me!" And cried even more and I don't know if that was even possible. I calmed her down:" Shhh...I miss him too Tori but life is always like that. You think someone could have survived in that storm? No, of course not." She backed off a little bit from me so she could see me and looked me in the eyes with her now puffy red eyes, I pushed her hair out of her face, behind her ear and she said " Then how did you survived?"

Then I started to choke and the memories came back again and I pushed it quickly to not remember the nightmare again, then I said:" He saved me before he died. And the last thing he said:"I love you, your mom and your sisters! Take care of them."...then he..." I didn't finish the sentence because I couldn't, I was about to cry and Tori realized it and hugged me and told me, while I was crying " You're the best sister I could have ever ask for. I love you!" and kissed me on the cheek. I hugged her back and kissed the top of her head and whispered "I love you too, little sister. Let's go. You need to eat. Go to the bathroom wash your hands and your face and come down, you got us worried Turbo."

She giggled at the nickname that I gave to her a year ago when she watched the movie Turbo thousand time. She stood from my lap and went to the bathroom, after she came back, we went down and everyone stopped talking and asked if she's okay. She said she's fine and sat next to me and ate her food.

After dinner I helped mom wash the dishes and went upstairs to my bedroom slipped into my PJs and washed my teeth and went to bed.
