Autumn's POV

"Dad, no! You can't leave me here alone; I can't fend for myself", I pleaded to my father with tears streaming down my face.

He shook his head and slowly inches the pistol closer to his skull. "I'm sorry baby girl, I have to. I can't go another day missing your mother like this", he whispered, voice quivering with anxiousness.

He took one final look at me. "I love you Autumn", he whispered again, pressing the gun to his head and placing his finger on the trigger.

BANG

I wake up with a jolt. Slowly sitting up in bed, I wish that was just a dream.

But it wasn't a dream, it was real.

I swing my pale legs over the edge of my bed and pull a sweater over my shoulders then quietly walk out of my bedroom.

I pad silently past the next room, careful not to wake Kellin. He was so supportive in everything in my life. I never thought that my cousin, my best friend, would be the only person I had left.

I make my way downstairs and to the kitchen, trying to once again erase the images of my father's suicide out of my head. He was never the same after mom died. My dad was great, always there for me when I needed him. His last words were that he loved me, and I knew he did.

My mom was beautiful. I had her green eyes and dark brown hair, an often occurrence in her side of the family. Kellin looks like her too. Our moms are sisters; Or should I say were. She was murdered when I was sixteen.

I take a seat at the small table in the kitchen after making myself tea and begin to sip on it, trying not to cry.

But I couldn't stop thinking about everything, and soon the hot tears made their appearance in my eyes. I choked on a sob, trying to be quiet, but failing.

I soon feel arms snake around my shoulders. "Was it the dream again?" Kellin's voice asks in a soft tone, almost as if he were speaking to a child.

I nod my head, leaning into him and trying to stop my horrendous sobs. I'm probably waking up the dead with all my noise.

He sits and comforts me for a while and I finally stop crying. "You need to get your mind off all this, and I know the perfect way", he says, starting to get excited. I look up at him, waiting for him to tell me this idea of his.

"Autumn, you're coming to warped your with me!"
