Life couldn't get any worse...
Today it is my grandpa's anniversary of death. He died two years ago from a stupid cancer. I was waiting for my mom and my grandma to come and pick me up, they went to buy some flowers so we can go to the cemetery togheter.

I decided to wear simple clothing so a black sweatshirt and black skinny jeans with my vans slip on.
I just did my make up as simple as usual for a week day so just pencilled my eyebrows, mascara and a bit of blush.

Wow, I looked dead...
So fine enough for cemetery.

Hours, hours and hours after I got ready, my mom and my grandma never came home. I called them  so many times but I never had an answer, where the fuck were them?
I started to worry, what if something happened?

Eight pm.
No answers.
No news.
I had no clue where they were.
My bell ringed so I opened the door.
Two police officers were there in front of my door.

《Good Evening, we are the police. Are you Mrs Cerulli Vezzani?》

In that moment I didn't know what was going on, even if I had a little idea...

《Yes, I am》

《Your mom and grandmother died today...》continued the officer

《Their car crashed down into a river, they...》 said the other man.

I felt like a big pressure on my chest, my heart beat went faster and faster, like it would jump off my body soon.
I blacked out. 
I felt the cold ground on my face and then nothing.

I woke up the next day in the hospital.
As soon as I woke up, the nurse in the room opened the door and let someone in. A tall man, black hair, brown eyes, really pale, piercings, tattoos,...
Who was him?
I was perturbed by him. He seemed so familiar. Where did I saw him?
As soon as he eye-contacted I had a huge flashback.

I was at the park with my mom, it was a hot summer day. School was over, my mom had a few days off, everything was fantastic.
We were walking through the park, in the middle of the threes and other people.

My mom was beautiful, average height, quite skinny, naturally tanned, long curly light brown hair and those green eyes, those long lashes that she used to curl up with a bit of mascara, her beautiful red lips...
She was always smiling and nice to everyone. She was wore a lot flower dresses and red lipstick.

We were minding our business and having a beautiful mother-daughter moment until a creepy man walked by us and stopped.
He was that creepy to me that he haunted my nightmares for a few months after that day.

He was really tall, pale skin, brown eyes underlined by black eyeliner, his hair were black, he had thin lips and also a thin nose. He had a few piercing and tattoos on his sleeve. He was dressed all black, he looked really sad and a bit angry. He looked like a demon to me.
Like he just had exited from hell.

As soon as mom saw him, her smile disappeared. I could only see sadness
on her face.

《Anna, why have you done this to me?》 said the creepy man to mom.

《Go away, I've got my reasons.

《Whose the kid?》

《Yours. Now fuck off.》 she lifted me up and walked away.

I looked at the stranger who kinda looked like a vampire to me, I was about seven so I was scared by him. He was crying shouting my mom's name.

Anna, please...Anna...

He is my dad.
