“Where’s mummy?” Olivia asks, crawling up onto my knee, disturbing the silence of the room as her, Sophia and I are watching Spongebob Sqaurepants.
Ding-ding.
“Out with Josh” I laugh to the five-year-old and get up to go to the door, but my father already got there before me; revealing the police?
“Are you Mr Edward White? Father to Madison-May White?” The tall, dark-haired man –looks roughly in his late thirties- asks my father, reading off a notepad in his left hand, and ticking something off once my father replies a polite yet worried yes as to what my sister has got herself into this week.
“What has she done?” My father asks, laughing a non-humorous but nervous laugh whilst saying his sentence to the two police officers currently standing at my front door.
“She has been in a car crash, and didn’t survive. I’m very sorry for your loss” And with that the two figures at the door walked away, just like that? Thanks so very fucking much.
“Who was that?” Sophia runs out of the living room and into my arms. I quickly wipe away the tear that fell from my blue eyes and answered her.
“Just a few friends. Go get Olivia and get your shoes on. I’ll take you to the park.” I suggest, trying to smile at her. She nods and slips out of my arms and onto the floor, racing back into the living room to get her sister.
“How do I tell them this?” I yell-whisper to my parents who are standing frozen in the hallway, my father still not closing the door yet.
“Don’t. I will later. Just get out of the house for now.” My mother says, her voice cold and emotionless.
I nod my head a fraction before slipping into my pumps and taking the girls hands, leading them to the park near my house.

“What flavour do you want girls?”
“Oh I want chocolate” Sophia bursts out excitedly, already licking her lips imagining the taste of the cold ice-cream settling on her tongue.
“Can I have bubble-gum please?” Olivia asks, yanking on the sleeve of my jacket.
“Of course, go sit down somewhere” I say as I walk up to the till and the two girls run straight to the sofa’s by the window of the cafe/ice-cream parlour.
“Thank you” The two girls sing at the same time, digging into the bowls of colour ice-cream in front of them.
My phone buzzes in my pocket as I take a sip of my coffee, the warm liquid runs down my throat and instantly heats my body up; which right now, is what I need.
From: Eden’Martin.<3
Cass, I heard.. are you okay? Do you want me to come over?
me: :/ I’m not okay, but I’ll put through, you know me.:) and no its really okay, enjoy your time with Luke, I’m with the girls anywayJ x
And with that I slip my phone back into my pocket, not wanting to have any more of this conversation, because Eden will try her best to cheer me up and I know she means well, but really it just makes me even more sad about whatever situation I am in.
And before you say it; no, Luke is not her ‘boyfriend’ She’s with Niall isn’t she? It’s her best friend since she was no age. He used to live here, but moved away when he was twelve because his Dad got a better job somewhere, meaning Eden had to make new friends; which is where I come in:-D

“Cassie, how you keeping?” My mother prods out of the kitchen and rubs small circles on the top of my back. Oh so now she cares about me? Right okay.
“Fine. I’m going to bed” I mutter, not really fine. I mean, I know me and Madison don’t get on and we fight a lot, and I never see her; but that doesn’t make the fact that she is my sister and the fact that I really do love her deep down, does it? It doesn’t change the fact that I am going to have to go to a funeral for someone of my family members, and I have to help arrange that funeral.
“okay sweetie. Goodnight.”
I roll my eyes at her pathetic attempts of actually trying to care about me and my feelings. I know I should be thankful that there is someone going though the pain that I am, but my mother’s pitty is the last persons I want.
I lay my head on my white fluffy pillow, closing my eyes. Only for them to open instantly at the sound of my phone blaring out; Video call with Harry..
“Hey you” He grins into his phone to me. I muster a small smile back.
“Heyah”
“What-LOUIS FUCK OFF. What’s wrong babe?” Harry frowns at me, clearly noticing my bluntness in my reply to his ‘hello’ Maybe someone does actually care about me?
“Nothing.” I say, and smile at him, a little bit more convincing this time.
“Cassie.” He says to me, his eyebrows stitching together and a drop of seriousness in his voice.
I sigh, realizing that he isn’t going to let this slide. “Madison died today.” I say, not looking up at my phone as I say this heart-breaking sentence.
“What?” He gasps, and I look up to see a wide-eyed-worried expression on his face. “I’m coming hom-“
“NO you are not. You only have a week until you’re back anyway. I’ll cope.” There is a small pause while he looks at me with a ‘are you sure?’ look. “hey, I’m going to sleep. I’ll call you later.”
He nods at me “Goodnight babe”
And with that I hang up the phone, lock it and set it on my bedside unit. Laying my head back onto the pillow, closing my eyes and this time actually getting to sleep.
