Hope was in the kitchen, she was zoning out, thinking about the past, she can't help it but to think about what has happened to her husband and daughter,on the 3rd of October was the day she lost both of her husband and daughter in a car crash, she was in the car with them, too but they didn't make it alive. She remembers the look on her daughter's face as she drew out her last breath and the final words that her husband said to her was "I LOVE YOU". She remembered she was crying and shouting, " YOU CAN'T LEAVE ME HERE ALL ALONE, I NEED YOU, I NEED THE BOTH OF YOU,HOW COULD YOU GO AND LEAVE ME HERE ALL ALONE, I NEED YOU, PLEASE COME BACK", She fell to the ground and sobbing while her hand was covered with her own blood and the blood of her daughter and husband. Till this day, she is unsure whether to be grateful that the fact that God saved her life or be angry that God couldnt saved her husband and daughter. It was a very dark and gloomy day for Hope that day, it was a nightmare for her, everything happened very fast. She would blame herself every single day of her life after the accident and she felt regrets for not able to fulfill every single things for her husband and daughter.
They were on their way to a festival, a festival where people will come and light up a lantern and release it to the sky. People said you can also make a wish.Today is that day and on every 3rd of October, she would go to the cemetery and left a bouquet of red and white roses. She knelt down and said, " dear my lovely husband and daughter, I hope you guys are doing alright. I am doing fine so far so good, i miss you guys so much. My baby girl, Prue, I am sorry for not able to give you much, I'm sorry that you lost your life at such a young age, i am sorry for everything, I really miss the both of you", she has tears flowing down while saying this. She stood up and left. She was on her way home when her mum called her and asked her to come over for dinner.

Mum: Hello Dear, if you are free tonight, please come over for dinner tonight, your brother and sister will be coming,too.

Hope: That will be wonderful, do you need me to bring anything over?

Mum: Don't worry about it, we'll be having a feast tonight. Are you alright, sweetheart? I know you don't me to be concerned but I just want you to know that you can talk to me about anything and anytime, alright?

Hope: I'm okay, mum. Don't worry, I'm a strong lady. By the way, can I stay over tonight?

Mum: Of course you can. Finally, all of us are going to be reunited again. I'm excited.

Hope smiled and said her goodbyes to her mum and hanged up the phone. She went to the grocery store to buy some groceries and to buy some snacks because she knows that her family love snacking at night. She went up to the counter and Gloria greeted her, " well, nice to see you Hope, you're looking stunning as always",
" oh, you're not that bad yourself, Gloria. How's your mother, is she recovering? "
" you know my mother Hope, she wouldn't be losing that easily to that damn fever", she laughed as she was scanning the items. " that would be $40", Hope handed her a $50 and asked her to just keep the change. In her car, she texted her mum saying that she'll be going home first to shower and then going straight to her mum's house.
After showering, she put on something decent for the dinner tonight, she has no idea why she decided on to put on makeup, she chose the natural look kind of makeup. She took her phone and took a selfie of herself. She looked at the camera and smiled.

" I need to look good, I cant be this sad forever, I'm a strong woman

" I need to look good, I cant be this sad forever, I'm a strong woman. Be strong, Hope", she think to herself and smiled. She looks amazingly stunning and flawless. She packed her clothes her stay at her parent's place for a few days then off to her parent's place. She was on her way to her parent's house when suddenly she witnessed an accident that happened right infront of her face, an accident between a bus and a car. The car flipped while the bus had a major dent upfront. Hope parked her car somewhere near and called 9-1-1 and explained what has happened. She rushed to help the people in the car and in the car was a man and a pregnant lady. She tried to help them but someone shouted at her to run away for the car was about to explode. She didn't listened and continued on trying to get the pregnant lady out of there but the lady told her to run away. " Please, run away, just go. ", "I'M NOT GOING TO LET YOU DIE HERE, DAMN IT! ", she was trying her best but someone dragged Hope away but she was struggling to get away and help the man and the pregnant lady, she shouted,she punched and kicked the guy who dragged her away,hoping that he might dropped her and he did. She once again ran toward the car but she was too late, the car exploded. She dropped to the ground, she could feel her souls just left her body, she couldn't believe that she couldn't save those people. She then fainted.
