Loosing Mom
This couldn't be happening to me, thought Gabriella Montez. Things like this happened in the books she read or the movies she watched, but not to her. But it had happened to her. That day had started out like an ordinary day, but for as long as Gabi could remember that day would never be ordinary again.
Gabi had been sitting in her history class talking to Kelsi about the history project they were working on together. Gabi loved history and was excited about the project they were working on. They were doing a project on the Oregon Trail, which was one of her favorite things to study in history. The phone had rung and her history teacher had answered it. Gabi didn't think much about it until her history teacher came up to her.
"Gabriella, the office wants to see. They said to take all of your belongings with you." Said her history teacher.
Gabriella responded by saying "Do you know why they want to see me in the office?"
"No. Just go down there Gabriella."
Gabi got up and said goodbye to Kelsi and headed towards the office. Once Gabi got to the office she was surprised to see her father standing in the office. It was true that she didn't get to see him much. He was always away on business trips and had just gotten back the night before. Gabi thought that she might have forgotten a dentist or doctor's appointment.
As she approached her father she noticed the tears that were in his eyes. Gabi started feeling scared. Something must have happened because her father never ever cried in front of her before.
"Gabi there was an accident this morning. Your mother was in a severe car accident and was killed. It was at a four way stop and your mother had right away. Another driver blew through the stop sign and hit your mother's car. Your mother wasn't wearing a seatbelt and went through the window shield. The airbags didn't work until it was too late. She died immediately. I'm so sorry Gabi." Her father came over to her and hugged Gabi. Then they left the office and went home.
