Torn Apart *On Hold*

Riley Reed was just a normal girl trying to live her life at its fullest while juggling work and school. But that 'normal' life she used to have ended very quickly when she came home from work one day only to find her mother dead.

"Please mom, don't leave me."

She never spoke another word, only shed a tear.

I bit my lip, to stop from screaming.

The pool of blood became excessively larger, her face paled even more.

In a matter of seconds everything stopped. She was gone.

I pounded my fists against the hard wood floors, tears violently streaming down my face. Everything around me was blocked out. I never realized when the paramedics came, nor the police. But when I did nothing changed. They all just watched as ,what they said, I had my "tantrum".

'I lost my mother, not my stuffed animal' I wish I would have told them, but I couldn't.
