It was late at night I was watching a show called "ugly" it wasn't about anybody being ugly it was about friends working together. I heard the phone ring I thought it was the pizza man asking for directions, they always get it wrong. I was wrong as usual it was a call from a detective. The detective said " is this Elija" I said "yes" and asked why are you calling did I do something wrong? "No" he said I have some bad news to deliver and I'm sorry to say this but your parents and your sister have been in a wreck and they didn't make it. I paused and didn't say nothing I didn't know how to feel or what to do I felt as if I couldn't breathe and my world was suddenly coming to an end. The defective asked if I was still there, but I wasn't I couldn't move at all it was as if I went into shock. I have never experienced a death in my entire 14 years of life and now I know what it felt like the pain in your chest, the pain in the heart knowing that you'll never see your loved one anymore broke me I couldn't handle this. I hanged up to the detective and ran into my bathroom I got sick in my stomach and puked and was crying. Sleep it was to late at night and I had cried to much maybe if i go to sleep then it will be all ok maybe this was all just a dream. The next morning I woke up and got a call from the detective again this time it was worse I had to go meet with him. Once I met with the detective he took me to the wreck and I saw the car which my family had died in. They had wrecked into one of them things in the middle of the highway I forgot what they were called. All I could think about is my family is dead and I saw the blood on the car and I couldn't handle it I broke down in tears. I had to go stay with my nana for a few days. I really never saw her much because she lived in Florida and I lived in Tennessee. It was weird this woman knew nothing about me really nor did I know a lot about her but yet I had to go live with her. I was scared to be honest, but she is the last living family member I had, so I had to deal with it. The funeral was next week and I couldn't bare to watch my family just lay in a casket and not see them talk or awake.
