Tavia's POV ~
School went by pretty fast today, nobody really came since it was the last day. I saw most of my friends including my best friend Trey. We've been best friends since 3rd grade. "I can't believe this school year is actually over, it seems like graduation was just yesterday." Trey said sadly. At graduation, Trey gave the valedictorian speech. "Don't worry, you know we have the whole summer to see each other." I answered back with a smile. Trey asked me to come to his house later and I said I would see if I could because my mom wanted me to go out with her. While I was on my way home I got this feeling; Something just didn't feel right. I was walking down the block to my apartment building when I saw a black truck with tinted windows speed around the corner. That's when gunshots rang out. Everyone ducked and I did too. I immediately realized the truck had stopped right in front of my building. As soon as the truck sped off I ran down the street to see if anyone was hurt; That's when I saw my mom laying on the ground with a pool of blood around her. My heart dropped and thoughts raced around in my head. "No no no, Mom look at me! Look at me!" I screamed as I dropped to ground and held my dying mother in my arms. I started to cry as she looked at me briefly and tried to whisper something to me. "I love you Octavia." she said weakly. 3 people were wounded in that shootout. But only one died; My mother.
