" GIRLS!! BREAKFAST COME DOWN AND EAT!! " 

I get out of bed and get dressed for school. I put on my scarf that I never leave with out. I never take it off unless I'm going to bed or taking a shower. My father got this scarf for me when I 8- years old. He died in a car crash, this was the last thing he got me before he died. Therefore I always cherish this. 

 I jog to my little sis's room. Shelly. ' SHELLY. mom wants us down for breakfast. GET UP!!"  

- chair screeches - " So mom. Whatcha got for breakfast? " I sit down, waiting for the feast that was heading my way. I lean in my chair as my mom turns around with what I see are a couple bowls. 

" Cereal. Now hurry up and eat, or you're going to be late Annie." [ Annie is what my mother calls me ]

Shelly walks in while laughing. " It's not funny Shelly, I'm really hungry! And I'm going to be late also.

 I look at the clock. - GASP - - chair screeches again -

'Mom I'll leave first!" I jump out of my seat and grab my backpack. " But Annie what about breakfast?! " " I'LL JUST PICK SOME UP ON THE WAY " I run out the door running like a crazy person. Hopefully Meg will have something with her, like she always does. I'm lucky enough to catch the bus, and right when it was bout to leave also.

AND look who I catch on the bus with me.. thee one and only Meg. I go to sit next to her and ask her if she has any food or snacks. She whipps out a bag of chips from her backpack and opens it. We share the bag until we arive at school. Me and Meg go to a private school. Actually, that's how we became best friends in the first place. We both hate this school yet we continue to go. Why? I don't know we just do.

- bus makes a halt -   " Oh,  I guess we're here. Come on Meg let's go, and throw that bag away also. You know we can't have outside food on campus " 

Meg and I went to first class.

  

Back at home [ aka the restaurant ]:  Shelly already left to school and now Mrs. Christo is in the shop cleaning before she opens up. This is in her P.O.V

- sweeping, bell above door rings -    " Sorry we're not open ye- OH! Hey Hannah, how are you? I haven't seen you in a few years. " [ Hannah is  Mrs. Christo's friend, and also even though Mr. Christo passed away Mrs.C wants to be still committed ]

" Well.. you know I have things to do and all that. So how have the girls been since, you know the accident? "     " Oh that.. well I think the kids haven't forgotten but I don't think that they're sad about it "   - looks around - " Well I just wanted to have a look around to see how you were doing.. with, this place.Bye "  " Oh.. bye then "  - continues to sweep -   That was weird. I don't know why though, but it was just...weird, I wonder why she asked about John's accident. That accident happened about 8- years ago. 

/ Flashback /      It is the year 2006, the year Anne's father dies in a car crash. Their are ambulances and flashing lights, Mrs. C pulls into the scene. She asks the paramedics about the scene and who was in it. The paramedics said " The body seems to be a victim of a hit and run. "   " Well do you at least kmow who the victim is and the peron who ran them over? "   " Ah yes, we looked at the persons ID and the persons to be a man named - looks at ID -  John W. Christo. "  

'" Um c- can you please repeat that I'm sorry "  " Sure, it's John W. Christo "  Susan falls to her knees with tears in her eyes. Some of the paramedics run to her. They're talking but she can't hear them, all she can think of is that her loving husband is dead. That he's not coming back. How will the kids react? How will they handle this, what would they do? He only left to get some ingredients for the shop. The store wasn't that far, how could he get in a hit and run.   / End of flashback /    

Susan wipes tears from her eyes. And prepares to open shop.
