Amanda's POV
As we were working, I heard the door open. "I'm home!" A voice called. "Sam!" I said excitedly. I got up and raced down the stairs. I jumped on Sam and he hugged me. "Hey panda. How are you doing?" He asked. "I'm doing fine thank you. How was work?" I asked. Sam has a job for a reason. Both my mom and him have worked so hard to help our family. We didn't need to work this hard until something terrible happened. My fathers death.
~~Flashback~~
My mom was on the couch on the phone. Finally, she was off. A tear rolled down her cheek. Soon that one tear turned into many tears. Sam and I walked up to her. I was only 7 at the time and Sam was 11. "Mom are you ok? What's wrong?" Sam asked. "I- I have some bad news." My mom said. "Your father got hit when he was coming back from work. There was a fire that started because the other guys lighter fell on the floor of his car. Luckily the other guy made it out of his car. Your dad... did not. The police were trying to look for the body to see if he made
it out alive, but they found nothing. They said that the fire was so big it must have burned him to death. When they put out the fire, all was left was bones and burned skin." My mom told us. At this point Sam and I didn't know what to say. Next thing we know, we're both crying. We ran to are mom and hugged her. The whole night we stayed up hugging and crying wishing are father came home.
~~Flashback over~~
Soon after his death my mom had two jobs and worked pretty late. Then when it was time, Sam got a job. "Work was hard, but it was good." Sam said. "Amanda. Is Jason ok?" My mom asked. "Oh Juniper! I forgot about him!" I said. "WHO IS THIS MAN!!!" Sam yelled. Then Sam ran up the stairs and into my room. "Sam!" I yelled. I ran up stairs to see Sam looking like he was about to punch Jason. I immediately jumped on top of him and pulled him to the ground. "Who are you and what are you doing with my sister!!" Sam yelled at Jason. "I'm Jason Heart sir! Your sister and I are working on a project for class sir!" Jason said as if he was in the military. "Amanda get off of me." He told me. I did what he said and got off of him. We both got up and Sam glared at Jason. "Sam this is Jason. Jason this is my older brother Sam." I said breaking the silence. "I have one question for you Jason." Sam said in a serious tone. "Why are you doing a project when you just got to school?" Sam asked. "W-Well Mrs. Anderson likes for each of us to do a project and then vote on which was the best. Which ever wins we learn." Jason explained. So that's we're doing this. "Ok. I trust you. But no funny business." Sam said. He then walked away into his room. "Sorry about that Jason. I hope he didn't scare you." I apologized. "What?! Why he would scare me? It's not like he will kill me or anything." He said. "You'll be fine scaredy-cat" I told him
