9 years before......

Bang! Bang!

Shots echo out side my house late in the night, which was weird for my side of town. I live in the hills of California who would go out of their way to even shot someone around here

As I walk down the steps I soon hear my mother cradling my dad in her arms in front of our door. I couldn't move I seemed frozen in time like what I was seeing had to be unreal.

"Dad" I whispered as a tear streamed down my eye

"Sweetie go inside and call 911 NOW! HURRY!" my mom yelled

"Dad? No not you Daddy No" I kept repeating as my mom tried to get through to me

Then everything went black.

When my eyes finally opened paramedics were standing over me, asking me question that overwhelmed me. What was I suppose to say I'm 8 I've never fainted before I've never witnessed anyone die let alone a relative all I can do is cry.

"Sweetheart its going to be okay were going to the hospital" my mother urged

"Mama I dont want to go, I'm scared, I want daddy, mommy dont make me please" I cry

" we have too, they have to check to see if your okay"

"I want you to be okay, don't you?"

"Okay mama but what happened to daddy" I asked

"I don't know"she says as she kisses my forehead and everything goes black once again

A few weeks later mama was actually able to bury daddy, she didnt have alot of money to herself since she never worked while married but some how she came up with the funds
