You are the only girl in the boys choir. Why are you there? They need people with a higher singing voice. Your there early everyday, along with the 'president' of the choir, Matthew. Both of you were theater nerds, and loved school, unlike most stud...
I wake up to a knock on my door. I run downstairs and answer it. "Are you YN LN?" A police officer ask me. "Yes ma'am. Can I help you with anything?" I ask. "You may want to sit down when you hear this. May I come in?" She asks. "Yes of course." I say, leading her to the living room. "YN... I'm not really sure how to phrase this. Your parents... They died in a crash late last night." She says. I instantly feel a heavy weight drag my heart to my stomach. "W-what?" I manage. "They wanted us to give you this letter. I'm not entirely sure what's inside, but I'm afraid you have to find a place to stay. Do you have any friends or family you can go to?" She asks. "I should be able to go to my boyfriend's. Thank you for telling me." I say, tears streaming down my face. She pulls me into a hug. "I'm going to pack my things. Have a good day officer." I mumble. "You as well. I'm sorry for your loss." She says, leaving. I shut the door behind her. I read the letter.
Dear YN,
I'm so very sorry we weren't there for you when you needed us. We love you with all our hearts, and that will never change. Inside of this letter, I have put in a choker that also works as a locket, and a picture of us. It looks a lot like the other locket that we gave you, with angle wings. In our room, pack whatever you find fit for you to take with you. We love you with all our hearts. Our little go-getter.
Your parents P.s. If that Matthew kid asks you out, and you say yes, tell him he made a good choice, and that we couldn't be happier that he chose you. I take out the suitcases from the attic, and pack everything in my room up. I go into my parents room, and pack their Bible, a picture of all of us, and a picture of them on their wedding day. I call Matthew. The officer had woken me up at like, four in the morning, so I'll probably be waking him. "Hello?" He asks groggily. "Matt!" I sob. I was trying to say anything, so that's what happened. "YN! What happened?!" He asks. "My parents... They died in a crash last night. Am I able to stay with you? Please?" I sob. "Sure thing Tigress. Do you want me to come over there?" He asks hurriedly. "Please." I whisper. He hangs up. A few minutes later, he knocks at the door. As I open, he hugs me. "Is everything you need packed?" He asks. "Do your parents know?" I ask. "They know. You'll have to share a room with me. I have a couch I can sleep on." He explains. "You? I'm sleeping on the couch. It's a blessing that I have someone to come to." I say. "I can't let you sleep on the couch Tigress." He says as he grabs my two smaller suitcases. I grab my big one, school bookbag, and my technology/art bookbag. I put the picture of my parents in the choker locket, and tie it around my neck. Matt knocks on the door and his mom opens it. "Matt! YN! I heard what happened. You okay sweetie?" She asks. "Yeah, I am. Thanks for letting me stay here." I say. "Not at all. Matt, help her settle in." She says. He nods, and we walk upstairs, taking multiple trips because of the suitcases. "I have a spare desk over there. It's a bit dusty, but it should work. Tell me if you need anything." He says, sitting on his bed. I set up the desk quickly, and take out my blankets and pillows on the couch. "Are you going to school today YN?" Mat asks. "It's what my parents would want. In their honor though, I'm wearing all black today." I say. "I will too. I never met them, but they didn't deserve to die so suddenly." He says. "Matt? I would prefer only I do it today. Sorry." I say. He nods. I take out a black dress, with black leggings, and my black boots. I go into the bathroom, lock the door, and get changed. (Here's the dress)

I smile slightly at the fact that the choker ribbon is black as well. I walk out after puting my hair in a simple French braid. (Or just leaving it down)I grab my bag, and walk to choir practice with Matt. "Oh! YN turned goth!" Someone shouts. "Hey! Show some respect! That's what she's doing." Matt yells. They instantly quiet down since, well, Matt never yells. "Thank you Matt. My parents passed away yesterday. I'm just showing respect." I say calmly. We finish up, and I go to my locker early. I walk to class, and see my science teacher waiting for me. "I'm sorry." She says solemnly. I just nod and sit in my seat. Ace comes in and sits on my desk. "What's wrong Sweet Cheeks? You rarely wear black." He says. "Just a fashion choice for today Ace. Deal with it." I say calmly. He walks off, and I put my head down.
-after school-
I walk home with Matt. We decided it would be best to just relax after school. I walk over to my desk, and start working on my homework. Most people would call it hard, but for us, it's easy. I put my things away, grab some comfier clothing, and go to the bathroom to put it on. Just some sweatpants and a t-shirt. "Oh. My parents wanted me to tell you that their glad I'm going out with a nice, sweet guy like you." I say,just loud enough for Matt to hear. "Kids! Dinner!" I hear from downstairs. I walk downstairs and we ate in silence.
