Chapter 7 (why)

---I'm so sorry for the wait you guys--- not edited yet sorry

I open the door and see a police officer.

"Hello officer " I say. "Hello are you Hanna Chapmen" he replies with. Im wondering why he's here and what he wants. "Yes that's me." "I'm sorry there's no easier way to say this but your parents they died on a plane crash." When I hear those words I get into shock and everything goes silent until he speaks again. "They were on a plane going home and the plane crashed. I'm so sorry ms. Chapmen" he said. I waited a minute before I said anything. Well I didn't wait I just couldn't get any words out. "O-okay" I finally get out to say. I didn't get along with my parents but I loved them.

How could that happen? Why? Why to me?

After I replied I closed the door. How was I going to tell ivy? I turn on the news and see the plane crash report. And it says all of the people that died and I see Larry Chapmen and Regeanna Chapmen. I start sobbing . I need to tell ivy. Now. It was her parents too. I go up stairs and say hey to ivy. "Ivy we need to talk"

I say while turning off the tv. "Remember how mommy and daddy went on a plane for work?" "Yeah" she says. She has confusion in her voice. "Well it crashed. And mommy and daddy died. There not going to be here anymore." I say. "I know. They told me just before you came in." She said. "W-what are you talking about Ivy?" "Mommy and daddy. They came in here before you came and said everything you said." She was only three. Can she see her dead parents? I'll deal with that later. I have bigger problems. Who's going to take care of ivy while I'm at school. I'm the one feeding her and taking care of her. For one I'm old enough. At least she won't have to live with her papa and nana. I give her a big hug and whisper "every things going to be okay."

We fell asleep together later after that. I woke up to my phone ringing. I gently took ivy off of me and answered my phone it was my grandma. I answered it "hi grandma" I said. "I sweetie I'm sorry about your parents." They were my dad's parents. My moms died in a car crash years ago. "Yeah me too" I answered. "Papa and I are going to be coming down to give you a hand with things until you get the hang of it. And you know planning the funeral." "Yeah... Yeah. Okay" I answer with no emotion. I hang up and it's 9o'clock. Ivys still sleeping and I'm going to let her sleep until she wakes up.

I get many of phone calls from everyone saying there so sorry. It got so annoying I had to turn off my phone and unplug the phone from the wall. Don't people know I don't want to talk about my parents dyeing.

I take a shower and get dressed. I put on all black super skinny jeans with a all black tank top that's too big by the under arm. I wore a grey bandoe under it with black peep toe lace up heals. For earrings I wore black diamonds and a cross neckless with a cross ring and a black beanie .

It's 80 degrees out side and I'm wearing all black. For my hair I just straightened it and for makeup I did the smoky eye.

I sat on the couch and played on my phone and waited until ivy woke up. I start tearing up and then start balling. I can't do all of this on my own. Take care of ivy, go to school, deal with my bullies and taylor and on top of that I still need to take care of my self. All of the pressure is on me now I can't do this.

I'm still crying until I hear a knock on the door. It was 11 on a Tuesday who can that be. Before answering the door I go in the bathroom and look at my self. Wow I look like shit. I try to wipe the smeared makeup away.

I answer the door and it's the least person I want to see right now...
