➸ michael

  I groaned as my phone went off. I looked at the time, 5 A.M. Who in the world calls at 5 in the morning on Sunday?

“Yes?” I asked into the phone siting up on the bed. “Am I speaking to Michael Clifford?” A male voice asked. “Yes this is he” I replied drowsily.

“We have called to inform you that your parents- something has happened to them and you need to take custody of Emily Grace Clifford” he said in all seriousness. 

“What?” I asked in shock as Alice started stirring in her sleep.

He sighed “hate to break it to you, but they got into a wreck last night.”

“How?” I managed to ask. “They hit a drunk driver, but luckily Emily wasn't in the car.” 

How and why is this all happening now? Four months before our wedding, and my parents didn’t even get to see it. 

He explained more crap before he ended the call.  

“Hey” I said lightly shaking Alice.

“Hmm?” she asked not opening her eyes. “Get up, I need your help with something” I said as she sat up.

Her Auburn red hair fell in her face covering her right green eye “why? Its 5 in the morning.” “I’ll explain it to you on the way, but we need to get going.  

I wasn’t sure how either of us felt. I felt angry that the driver hit and killed my only family besides my sister; sad that my parents are gone and aren’t going to see me get married or anything else, and other than that I felt completely confused that I had to look over my sister and a bunch of other stuff. How I was going to manage that, I have no clue. 

When we got to where my sister was it was obvious she had been crying.

“Hey” I said giving her a light smile. “Michael” she cried and got up and hugged me. I let her cry on me “it’s okay, were going to get through this.”

After a hour of getting everything straightened out we went back home. 

“Emma (nickname) you can have the guest bedroom” I said as we walked into the house.

She nodded and lugged her stuff to what is now her room. 

"It's cruel for her to go through this, you too mike" Alice sighed as she came in behind us.

"Yes" I replied bluntly, she was only sixteen, why would someone make her go through this?
