Chapter one

I’m sitting right here in the backseat of my mom’s sedan , my leg is stuck I can’t get out , I’m crying and screaming but pleas are falling upon deaf ears. My tears are flowing down my eyes, mixing with the dark red blood that is oozing out of my temple.

I feel clenching pain in my chest as I see my mom and dad in the front seat, laying there lifeless. The fire is eating them alive. I feel the burn on my left arm. I saw the fire traveling up on the leather seats, destroying everything on its way, the fire slowly and painfully taking my parents away from me.

I felt aching pain on my left arm as fire was slowly making its way towards me. My head hurts. My lungs are filling up with smoke and I feel lightheaded. Just as I was about to pass out I heard the earsplitting sounds of sirens. And then I blacked out.

12 hours ago.

“But mom!!” I cried like the spoiled brat. “No sweetheart , I told you its Noah’s match today , your dad can’t come with us”

Urg! These are the days I wish dad was still with us and not married to Penny. Don’t get me wrong , I love Penny she is like a second mother to me , well that’s what stepmothers are but mine was not like a Cinderella stepmothers type. Penny is sweet, caring and most importantly she makes the best cupcakes ever.

My mom, Liya Rose Stewart and my dad, Liam Jones Stewart married because of my Grandfather, as they were forced to we can say. But they were best of friends before marriage, so after 2 years of marriage they had me. When I was just 1 year old, my grandfather died, dad and mom decided to get a divorce but they didn’t as they wanted me to have a normal life.

But as soon as I turned 7 I knew that this marriage wasn’t going to work out as they were better off being friends. So finally they got divorced. I obviously wasn’t happy with that, I mean who would be when their parents are splitting up.

After the Divorce my father met Penny and they got married, Penny already had Dylan and Noah. Dylan is 4 years older than me and Noah is one year younger than me.

Dylan is the most amazing older brother anyone can ask for. He would buy me chocolates, take me to parks and we would always have an ice cream day. But Noah is another story, he is more like the mean sibling who would tease me on my pigtails, and would even rip out my barbie’s heads. And lastly Penny, well she for sure loves me like a daughter.

She says that she couldn’t have any more kids after Dylan and Noah and she always wanted a daughter. And I love her too as they never gave me a reason not to.

Today is my 14th Birthday and also Noah’s match. So right now I’m being a biggest brat and begging my mom to go have lunch in my favorite restaurant downtown. But today also being Noah’s match, dad can’t come with us, and I refused to go without my dad.

“mom how’bout we first head to restaurant then after having lunch we all can go over to Noah’s match?” I asked with a hopeful smile and giving mom my best puppy eyes.

“okay I think we can do that, let me call your dad and ask him” mom said finally giving in. she goes over in the living room to call dad. I go over to pantry and take out oreos to munch on while I wait for mom.
She walks back into kitchen with a gentle smile on her face. “Dad says that we can do that , so now hurry upstairs and get ready, we are leaving in half hour.”

I smiled and gave mom a bone clenching hug and hurried upstairs humming my favorite song. I love my mom and dad so much that I can’t even think how my life would be without them.
