I was coming home from school when I saw smoke coming from a house. While praying it wasn't mine, the sound of sirens filled my ears along with the chatter from the neighbors; I saw a police woman and police man coming towards me. She asked "Are you Isabelle Duncan?" I simply nodded preparing myself for the worst "I am so sorry to tell you this sweetie but, your mother died, she was able to escape the flames but there was too much smoke in her lungs." No, this couldn't have happened, this is just a dream! She's not dead, she's in her room next door sleeping that's all; and I'm safe in my room sleeping just like any other morning. Without her I'd be in an orphanage, I can't be in an orphanage. "She informed us that you have to stay in an orphanage until your father is contacted..." My father? Mom told me he was dead. I tuned out the rest of what the police officer was saying because I didn't care and I didn't really like him, he was getting on my nerves too.
~The Next Morning~
I woke up around 10am, glad that it was Saturday. I noticed a tear rolling down my cheek as I thought about the day before. Anyway, my name is Isabelle Duncan and I'm 14 years old. I just started high school and my only family was my mom. Now she's gone and I'm left to find out who my dad is and why he hasn't been in the picture. He's probably gonna leave me in this horrid place. If he does, I will hate him for the rest of my life.
The biggest thing about me is that I hate feeling alone and to keep me company at school is my one and only friend, Mindy. I am so grateful to have her because she understands what I go through at school. Currently, she has some trouble in her life. She misses school a lot because her dad abuses her and her mom died when we started middle school. That's when the abuse started and she was always afraid to come to school because of her appearance; her arms, legs and face would be covered in bruises and cuts so she only showed up once every two weeks. She's lucky to have me or else she'd still be in middle school. Last year, I kicked some sense into her and this year she started coming three days a week.
On the days that Mindy doesn't show up, I listen to music. I like to listen to bands like Black Veil Brides, Pierce The Veil, Sleeping With Sirens, Asking Alexandria, Of Mice & Men, Bring Me The Horizon and Avenged Sevenfold. Music is everything, I love to sing, dance and scream along to my favorite songs. I sometimes write songs but no one has ever seen or even known about them.

After I finished talking to the police officers, I got all the things I could recover from the house which was only my phone charger, a few pictures of me with my mom, and a locket that was my moms along with very few of my clothes. Before I left the house, I went under my bed and grabbed a box that had different things in it. When I finished, they took me to the orphanage, as soon as I got there, I took a shower.
When I finished my shower, I put on the same clothes I had on before and went to the room they assigned me. As I straitened my hair in the mirror, I looked at the box that I took from under my bed. My thoughts then wandered towards my moms death and the fire. By the time I finished with my hair, it was about 6 pm. I grabbed the box and went through it remembering all the memories my mom and I made together through the years. There were mostly pictures and drawings that I made as a little kid. I went through everything in the box and when I got to the bottom of it, I found a letter addressed to me.
