Hard Enough

The Accident

Amora's POV
    The sound of the very loud and annoying noise filled my ears, forcing me to slap the "dismiss" button. I sat up just as mom walked in. She looked at the alarm clock across the room on the floor then looked at me. She giggled a bit then told me to hurry up and get dressed so my breakfast wouldn't get cold, grunting I lay back down.
     She went to close the door but not before she said, " I made your favorite, chocolate chip waffles with banana slices and my homemade strawberry syrup." Jetting out of my bed I raced to my closet and got my clothes and shoes on. She laughed at my reaction and closed my door behind her. After I got all my clothes on, I hurried down the stairs and into the kitchen.
    Dad and Liel was already at the table. Dad was reading his favorite book that I know he has read over a dozen times. Liel was playing with his food, making funny faces at me as I walked over and kissed him on his head. Mom walked in with our plates and signaled me to sit down.
    " Thanks for making breakfast mom!" I sit down without hesitating as I thank mom for making my favorite.
    " It's my job is it not?" She says laughing as she sat down. Dad looked at me over his book while he took a sip of his coffee. He had noticed my over filled mouth. At that moment all I did was smile.
    " I sure do wish you would stop wearing those clothes." He said to me as he looked at my black clothes.
    " Well, I like to have a very dark outside character much like your favorite character from that book you're reading", " My inside character is very bright, loving, and very different from others, so I think I'm doing good at how I look!" I reply, realizing what I just said made me afraid for what would come next.
    " Well now that you put it that way... I think I might start dressing in black more often." He said laughing. Don't get me wrong my dad is a very serious man, you just have to know how to talk to him in a language he understands.
    " Okay time for the bus, it will be here any minute!" Mom said getting up and taking Liel to the door. " Amora don't forget that your father and I are going to be picking you up from school early today. Liel remember you need to get off the bus and go to you aunt Beth's house. She will be taking care of you for the next two days. Okay, I love you guys!" She says while giving us each a hug and a kiss on the head as we go out the door and to the bus.
    As I sat there at my desk, I stared at the clock because I had already finished my test. It was only 5th period, but the good thing was that any minute mom would be here to save me from this horror scene. After a while I must have fallen asleep because before I knew it the teacher was tapping my shoulder telling me I was called to the office to leave. Saying goodbye to Mr. Curtis I walked out of the classroom, raced down the hall, and shot out of the lobby doors. Mom and Dad were waiting outside in the car. When I got in the car they were arguing about something to do with their job, I put in my earbuds and stared out the window.
   The feeling of the car jerking woke me up. My body relaxed when I realized I was okay. Then as I sat up and looked, dad was through the windshield and mom had a shard of glass stuck in her neck. Yelling I pull my earbuds out and call 911.
     " 911, what's your emergency?" The operator said on the other end.
     "Y- yes we w-were in an accident! I need your help... I... I think they are both dead!!" I tried to stay calm while explaining what was happening. I had tears trailing down my face.
    " Ma'am, What happened? And Where is your location?" The operator said. My focus was on mom as she sat there lifeless. "Ma'am? I need you to tell me you location an explain what happen!"
    " Umm, I don't know my location, we are in the middle of nowhere. I have no idea what happened, I was asleep in the backseat with earbuds in when it happened." I replied, I looked at dad and realized that there was another car.
" Ma'am, do they have a pulse?" He said.
" Gave me a second and Ill let you know." With that I wretch my hand and touched the cress of mom's neck. No pulse. " Mom, no!" I found myself scream. Then as I was about to get out to check dad for a pulse he took a big breathe in.
" Ma'ma is there a pulse?" The operator questioned calmly as if he could care less.
" My mom doesn't have a pulse but my dad is breathing but he went through the windshield and now has a shard of glass in his side!" I cried
" Ma'am, the squad is on their way and will be there any minute. Was there another car involved?" The operator questioned me. Remembering seeing another car I ran over to the other car.
"Yes there is another car upside down. There is a older woman inside, I cant reach her but I cant hear her breathing either. I think she is dead!" As I finished explaining the squad showed up. And ran to the scene. This horrible scene will forever be embedded in my memory.
