How could you...

Chapter 1- Happening

I sat with a look of total blankness on my face. I was probably colorless while, staring at the ground. Tears trickled from my eyes, slowly. I went to reassure my brother that everything was going to be just fine. I glanced over my left shoulder at my sister, sleeping on the waiting room couch. "Oh, how nice it would be to get some shut eye right now..." I thought desperately. I wiped the falling tears and tried to gather myself, Things were chaotic and I couldn't take the pressure. I got up and slowly walked over to the recliner, hoping to get good news when I awok-

"Children of Mr. and Mrs. Hollow?"

"Great," I thought. "As soon as I go to sleep it off, someone ruins it..."

"Yes..." Me and Nicholas respond in unison. She gave us a nervous look before she flipped through pages on a clipboard she was holding. "I am Regina, just the lady that gets the information and signatures, so, I just need your signatures and then I will be right back with you." She said politely, still seeming as if something did bother her.

I went to go wake up Tara, shaking her gently, "Tara, we have to sign some papers, and then we're good! Apparently nothing bad happened, so we will see mom and dad, from the looks of it." She gave me a dirty stare, warning me that I shouldn't have woke her.

"Okay, I have the papers, follow me to the conference room please?" Regina asked and pointed to a door diagonal from the waiting area. Single file we walked into the room and sat down on comfortable chairs behind of a desk with a name tag that had a different name on it. We signed some papers and then Regina gathered them, and left the room. Just a few moments later, a tall lady walked in, sat down, and said in a low voice, "Hello, it is Sabrina, Tara, and Nicholas, correct?" We nodded all together, still wondering what was happening.

"I have some news for you, and I am afraid that this will not be good news this time."

My face went numb, I felt blinded, I couldn't think straight... And then I look to my right, Tara had fainted, and we all had streams of tears running down our cheeks.
