The Bad News

Hallie's POV

I cried as I ran home from my friend Clohe's house. I had just got a call from the cops saying that my parents had been killed in a shooting at a baseball game in Detroit. "Stupid Michigan" I thought to myself as I wiped my tears from my face as i opened to door to our home. It felt so empty, our cat, Crookshanks, had died a few weeks back, and we were going to get a new kitten tomorrow. Life couldn't get worse for me.

The officer said I was going to live with my uncle, Rhett, in California. "No more Detroit, thats a plus..." I mumbled to myself as I pack my suitcase with the clothes that I was bringing to Cali. My plane left tomorrow at one, and thare was a taxi arrainged to pick me up at noon. The cops said they would give me money to get food at the airport, any anthing else I needed.

Once I woke up and finished packing the next day, it was only 10:15, so I decided to walk down to the river near my house. My Ripstik was already packed, and I didn't wanna dig through my bags to get it, so I grabbed my Beats and my IPhone 5s, and headed to the river.

It was about halfway through the plane ride when the snack cart came by. "Want anything sweetie?!?" The stewardess asked me. "Uh, a can of coke please." I responded The lady grabbed a can and handed it to me. I reached into my bag to gram money, but she put her hand out and said, "Its fine, Its on the house... Well, plane really." We giggled as she pushed the cart ahead of her.

I turned my favorite playlest on as I looked through pictures on my phone for uncle Rhett that I took from when they came and visited us last year. He seemed overall tall, with hair that goes up, and a fluffy beard. He was kinda cute too... I hit the home button and turned Pitch Perfect on, it started right from where I left off when the snack lady came by. I took a sip of coke and leaned back.
