May they rest in peace

Maria Alejandra Menendez: January 24th, 1979- May 11,2019
Juan Jose Ramirez: September 14, 1981- May 11,2019

Ok so it was morning time and I was getting ready. I now had to wake up at 3:11 at night. Crazy right...well my school starts at 6:34. I have to get Alaina up.Her daycare starts at 9:40 and ends at 3:50. Mrs.Latel takes her, though. Anyways, I prepare Aldan's diaper bag. All of this takes an hour. Than I feed them. Than Mrs. Latel picks them. So it was 5:15 and Aldan and Alaina were gone. I ready took a shower. I was finishing up some homework. I looked at the time..Shit how the hell is it 5:30 already. I rushed out the door. I will admit I was impressed how I managed to look cute and still rush out the door. The bus pulled up the second I got there. Oh thank god I thought silently. I popped my earbuds in and stared at the window as Tonight by Sahbabii came on.

  1:23
I rushed out the door with my bsf Hazii....another weird name but it's ok. She was going to come over to help me with Aldan and Alaina, and with homework too. When we got home, we had some free time before I had to pick up Aldan so we just danced.
  Later on....
Hazii had just left and Alaina was watching TV and Aldan was sleeping. That's when the phone rang. Mama told me to always answer the phone if they aren't here. It was probably Mama and Papa telling us when they were coming home. "Is this the Ramirez resident?" a man asked. "Yes it is, may I take a message. "Is this Alamia." I was getting a little irritated at this guy. Who is this pitiful sounding dude. The second I thought that I wish I didn't. "Yes this Alamia, may I ask who is speaking." "This is Detective Dalanos, I am afraid I have some bad news. My heart soared and my stomach lurched. Please let it not be something about Mama and Papa...please. "Yes",I gulped. "Early this morning there was a fateful car accident. 2 cars crashed and one slipped of the bridge and plummeted into the depths of the ocean. I'm afraid that car was your parents car." I almost choked. "That's impossible, sir you must be thinking of another person". "No ma'am I am afraid you are mistaken. They were fished out of the ocean late this afternoon. I will come by your house later on to check on everything." How, how can Mama and Papa die? How can this just happen like this? How, how, how...and it just hit me. They were gone, they are never coming back. My mind went blank. They are gone. Mama and Papa were gone...they are gone. I felt my stomach bubble and I ran to the bathroom and lifted the toilet seat up and vomited my breakfast,lunch, and dinner, and vomited and vomited until there was nothing left. "NOOOO," I screamed and cried. Alaina walked in looking confused. "What's wrong Alamia" "Its Mama and Pa- your breath stinks, she giggled. "FORGET THAT, ALAINA". Mama and Papa are gone Alaina......they are gone". "What do you mean gone." "It means they are not coming back mi amor". It took a while but she got it. She sat in my arms and cried and whimpered. "Shhhh, it's ok mi amor, we will get through this." "Who will take care of us now " she sighed. " I will take care of us until someone comes."
   Later on into the night...
   Detective Dalanos knocked on the door. Alaina was sitting on the couch watching TV. Aldan was sitting in my arms sleeping. "Alaina, please get the door, while I put Aldan in his crib". "Ok," she exclaimed quietly. "Detective Dalanos please come in," I said happily, even though nothing of this situation was happy. I have to thug it out for Alaina. "Alamia, I know this is very hard for you being the oldest and all. We went through your records and found some relatives that you will stay with." I dreaded this moment, we barely know who our remaining relatives are. "Alamia, I know how you feel I understand." What about all of our stuff, what are we going to do with that. "Some people are coming by tomorrow and we are going to decide what to keep and what to sell." "I must be going now, we will figure out everything tomorrow....good night." After that I went upstairs and sat in my bed and cried myself to sleep.
