Theodosia's POV

I came in and saw my dad on the ground crying. I ran to give him a hug and his tears stopped immediately.

"Hey daddy where's Mom?" I asked cheerfully

Tears filled his eyes again and that's when I realized.

"She's gone" He said bursting out into more tears.

I started to cry to and he just pulled me into his embrace.

"She said your name and she flew out like a flame...I'm so sorry Theo"

We both just sat their for a few minutes then I got up

"When is her funeral?" I asked

"We are working on next week you may have to miss a few days of school" He said

I was fine with that. I hated school...not the academic part but the people. I hardly had any friends there. I usually got bullied for being dark skinned or being one of the only girls there. There was this other girl that went to school there that I knew. Her name is Angelica Hamilton she was only in 1st grade but we became great friends. We usually play dolls together during our free time.

"Hey Theo!" Angie said as she ran and gave me a hug
"Hey Angie" I said not so excitingly

"I'm really sorry about your mom" She said with a sad face

"How'd you know" I asked surprised

"My mom was good friends with her she's going to the funeral along with my dad while we stay at school"

"Oh yeah I'm not going to be here next Wednesday through Friday" I respond.
She just gave me a hug before she saw her Brother

Philip

He just grown to a bigger jerk. Him and his friends usually pick on all the girls but he doesn't bother me when I am with his sister. He beat up somebody who once pushed his sister down the stairs. But when I'm alone I get  bullied like there is no tomorrow. I hold my doll close to my heart. I remember when my mother gave it to me on my 5th birthday. They pick on me for having a doll but I don't care.

I look up and can't see Angie anywhere. Then I feel someone grab my braid and pull on it I turn around and see Philip with an evil grin.

"Sup Princess I see you holding onto your doll is that your only friend?"

"No your sister is my best friend"

"Stay away from her I'm warning you I don't want her hanging out with any weirdos"

I smirked

"Then I guess she shouldn't be hanging out with you"

He grew angry and his eyes grew cold. He pushed me into a table and I caught myself before falling to the ground and I was trying to hold back my tears. He looked at my doll which was on the ground and just walked away. I picked it up and ran to the bathroom letting my tears fall down.

Philip's POV

I walked through the door and saw my mom and dad carrying suitcases. What were they packing for?

"Hey son how was school" My dad asked smiling and giving me a pat on the back

"It was good nothing new though" I said shrugging

Angie came into the door stomping and angry. She gave me a slap on my face and tried to walk away but both my parents saw. My dad let out a giggle but saw my mom's cold death stare and tried to keep serious.
