Bad things only happen

Lily's pov

Without thinking I ran onto the oncoming vehicle. I heard the tires screech but it was too late for the driver to stop the car..
Within seconds everything went blank.

My name is Lily Anderson and I am a living defination of bad things.
My parents were rich and we were well to do. I was the only child so I was spoilt. I didn't lack anything, all I needed to do was tell my parents to get anything I wanted for me and if they disagreed, I will cry and throw a fit or I won't come out of my room to eat. Eventually I always get what I wanted.

It all started when I was twelve years old, our family(my dad, my mom and I) were going on a picnic.

My dad and my mom were discussing, laughing loudly. I was pressing my iphone.

Looking up from my phone .
"Dad, Jack says he wants to be my boyfriend"

"Whatttt!!!!!!!!!!" My dad exclaimed laughing.

My mom gasped covering her mouth also smiling.

"Not now little angel, wait till you are old enough" Dad finally said still smiling.

"But daddy I like him sooooooo much......" I muttered almost crying
"Can't I be his girlfriend now?" I whined facing my mom

"Noooo baby, girlfriends and boyfriends are for older people.....At least wait till you are in college....okay?"

"Okay mummy I will tell him" I focused on my phone again typing.

Suddenly, I heard mom and dad scream. I looked up and I saw a truck carrying rods heading directly towards us.

I joined them in screaming. In a split seconds everything went blank.

*******************************************

I opened my eyes. With the light blinding, I closed my eyes and waited to open it again.

After few seconds I opened again. It was better this time. I looked around and I saw a CR monitor, a drip and my leg prettily covered with bandages.

A hospital? What I am doing here?

I sat up from my bed trying to think about what happened.

I came back from school, mum announced we were going on a picnic, I was very happy because it was long since we had gone on a picnic together.
I dressed up.

I looked at my body, I was still wearing the clothes.

We packed, we entered the car. I told them about Jack, they cautioned me. They screamed. I looked up, I saw a truck heading directly towards us.........oh no.....dad, mom....

I screamed. Quickly I removed the drip from my arms. I quickly got down from the bed.

A sharp pain bolted up from leg to my spine. But that didn't stop me from standing up. I bolted out of my room hald walking on my injured left leg.

I was screaming at the top of my voice now.
"Daaaaaadddddd.......Moooooommmm"

Few nurses ran to my direction. They tried to carry me but I struggled with them. Tears were streaming out of my eyes now.

"I want to see my dad and my mom" I whined still crying.

"Don't worry you will see them but you have to be okay to see them.....alright" A nurse assured.

With that I let them take me.

At least they are alright......Thank God.

I was taken back to my room. The nurse tucked me back to my bed.

"You need to rest....okay" She replaced the drip and she injected me with some substance.

"Hmm" I answered sleepily already feeling the effects of the injection.

*******************************************

In my sleep. I heard voices talking in my room.

"Shhhhh don't wake her, she's still asleep"

I'd recognize that voice anywhere....Aunt Stella.

She is Uncle Mark's (dad's younger brother) wife.

At least someone I know is here.

I wanted to open my eyes.

"But how do we tell her that her parents are dead" Uncle Mark said to his wife.

An icy hand clenched my heart and blood rushed through my veins a million speed more.

"They are......are deaaad?" I sobbed out.

Both of them turned their eyes to me at once. They were not expecting me to be awake.

Immediately Aunt Stella rushed to my side.

"Lily you should sleep some more" She tried to pet me to sleep.

"Leave me alone" I screamed still crying.

"Tell me the truth.....Are....are they gone?" I asked hoping she would just say no and I would laugh it off.

"Yes they've gone to a better place Lily....they've......." She stopped looking at me panicked.

Darkness was enveloping me, it was hard and very painful to breathe.

Aunt Stella was shouting before I blanked out completely.
"Doctor.....call the doctor....she's having panic attacks"

*******************************************

"Mom, dad please don't leave me"
I was in a tunnel with my dad and mom but they were far from me and their backs were turn to me.

When I realized that thay were not replying, I started running towards them but the faster I ran the farther they became to me.

I stopped running when I realized they were not answering me and they still had their backs turned to me.

"Mom.....please I'm begging you don't go" I screamed in the loudest voice I could muster.

It seemed they heard this time. They turned to look at me too. I realised they were crying too.

Then my mom spoke in a whisper but I could still hear.
"We're sorry Angel......but we have to go.....go and live your life okay"

"No mom I will follow you everywhere you go" I replied crying

They turned their backs again and were walking away. I tried to follow them but a transparent barrier was blocking me now. I shouted crying till they disappeared.

"Dadddddd......mooooommmmm noooooo please" I fell to the floor crying.

Then I woke up. I realised I was crying vut not in the tunnel anymore but in that familiar hospital.

I'm not going to see them anymore. How can I live without them.

Fresh tears came through my eyes when I realized this.
