Life was once perfect in Arizona's house. She had a dotting mother, a loving father, and an adorable little brother. Who would have thought, all of that could change in one night? "I want you home by 11, Arizona Rose." She called from the kitchen. "Alright mom!" I yelled back, making sure I had my phone in my coat pocket. "And no boys!" Father added from his spot on the reclining chair. "Kissing makes you sick and die, remember that sweetheart. And what else?" "Beer makes babies, I know Dad. Anything else?" I held in my eye roll, and started for the door. "Yes, stay safe," He gave a knowing look. "Alright, Alright. I love you guys." The door had already closed when I heard their muffled response. I didn't know it then but this was the last time I had a normal conversation with my parents. ------------------------------------------ Under Construction -- Editing as of 1/8/2020 (Formerly Trapped)
