I'm Alone

I looked at the officer. "D-dead?" I asked. "I'm afraid so," the officer frowned. I dropped to my knees right there. This can't be happening. Dead? Dead? Dead. My mom and dad are dead.
Mrs. Reyes (Quinn's mom) and Quinn ran up to me. "Winter! What's wrong?" Quinn asked me. "Officer, is there a problem here?" Mrs. Reyes asked the policeman. "Her parents have died due to a car accident," the guy said, but I could barely here words. My vision was blurred and I couldn't breathe.

Dead.

Dead.

Dead.

Those were the only words I could here. My parents were dead. My only other friends were dead. I don't have anymore family. Everyone else was dead. I'm alone.

I was in Quinn's bedroom. I'm going to be staying here from now on. Mrs. Reyes offered to adopt me, and now she is. She is so sweet. I thought of her as a second mom. Now she is my only "mom".
I was hold a pillow, crying into it. I can't handle this anymore. My life is horrible. Too horrible to handle. I wonder if Quinn has got any pills.....
"Are you okay?" Quinn asked. I shook my head. "I'm so sorry. This shouldn't have happened," she said. I heard sniffles. She was crying with me. That's when I realized it. If I were home, I could've prevented this from happening. I pushed that thought away. Was it really me?
"Lights out, girls," Mrs. Reyes said. She told me to call her Kim. Okay.... "I'm so sorry, Winter. We will be by your side no matter what sweetie," Kim said. I nodded and she shut the lights, closing the door. I slowly closed my eyes, drifting into a deep sleep.

WINTER'S DREAM

I was walking on clouds. I was alone. I kept on walking forward until some invisible Force Field stopped me. I saw my mom and dad on the other side. "Mom! Dad!" I called. I was actually smiling. My parents turned to meet my gaze and frowned. Shouldn't they be happy to see me? "It's you're fault," they whispered in unison. "Mama? Daddy?" I called. "You killed us! It's your fault!" Dad yelled. "It's my fault? I know it's my fault and I'm sorry!" I whimpered. "Your fault! Your fault! YOUR FAULT! YOUR FAULT!" They chanted. The words boomed all around me. "YOUR FAULT! YOUR FAULT!"

END OF DREAM

"Winter wake up it's just a nightmare! Winter!" I heard Quinn and Kim yell. My eyes shot open. Beads of sweat dripped down my forehead and I was panting. "It's my fault," I said loud and clear.

A WEEK LATER

After a while I decided never to speak again. I told Quinn and her mom that too. I wrote it on a notebook I will keep with me forever so I can communicate. Another mental scar.....
I looked at Twitter on my phone. I haven't been here in a while. Some people private messaged me (a/n can you do that on Twitter? I don't have one so idk).

"@The_Ruby: I am sooo sorry for your parents. It's all over the news."

When did they put it on the news? Then, I saw a private message from the person I hate the most besides myself.

"@Harry_Styles: Hey, I know we came off on the wrong foot, but me and the lads want to hang out with you and your friend Quinn. We are still around in New Jersey. Message me back if you want to come ;)."

Should I go? I don't want to, but I'll do it for Quinn. I knocked on the wall three times to call Quinn. We share a bedroom now. My bed on one side and Quinn's on the other. We are sisters now, and I am quite happy with that. I am still mourning not over my parent's death. I don't think I'll ever get over it. I don't eat at all anymore and I never left my new house.
"You called?" Quinn said, poking her head in through the door. I shoved my phone into the air. "Who was it?"'she asked. Quinn took my phone and saw the invite. "What are you saying?" She asked. I nodded. "You want to GO?!" Quinn gasped. I nodded again. I'm coming with you, of course. Go text him. I know he makes you happy," Quinn smiled and left the room. Happy? I don't remember feeling that before.
I texted Harry

@Winter_Loves: Sure. You do that place and time please.

After that I got a quick response a couple minutes later.

@Harry_Styles: How about Olive Garden tonight at 8:00?

I accepted and informed Quinn by showing her my phone. We both took a desperate shower, did our hair, and got dressed. Quinn wore a grey beanie, a striped shirt, tights, and golden shimmer flats. Since I had to cover my cuts, I wore a sweatshirt, leggings, and navy blue converse. We headed out to Olive Garden.
"How may I help you ladies?" The girl at the front said. I forgot how the outside world was. "We have a reservation under the name "Loves" please," Quinn said. She could be very formal at times. "Follow me please," the lady said. I was wearing shades so no one could see my eyes. She must think I'm weird....
We finally got to a private booth. The whole band was already there. "Hello! My name is Quinn and this is Winter," Quinn smiled brightly at the boys. They all smiled back. "My name is The Carrot King, also known as Louis, and this is Liam, Zayn, Niall, and Harry," Louis said with s cheeky smile. I looked over to a giggling Quinn. She likes him.
I waved at the boys. They didn't seem to mind. I sat down across from Harry, and Quinn sat right next to me, across from Louis. "Er.... You might wanna take your shades off sis," Quinn said loudly. Everyone looked at me. "You should, Winter!" Harry smiled. I hesitantly took off my shades, keeping my eyes closed. I opened each eye one at a time, looking at everyone's expression. "Cool!" Louis chuckled. I nodded as a thanks. Maybe this won't be so bad.....
