I stood there, trying to keep it together and I was trying to be strong in front of my little nephew: Daniel, as they were about to lower the caskets. I looked over at my older brother: Drew, trying to keep it together and be strong as well.

It started to pour down rain and I saw people trying to take cover underneath umbrella's or the tent, while I was soaked. As my tears were falling, it was raining down on my face, so nobody could tell I was crying.

My name is: Alyssa Meyers, and I am here at my parents double funeral. My father: John, was lowered into the ground first. I leaned over and threw a single red rose on the top of his navy blue coffin.

Then as they were lowering my mother: Allison, I was on the brink of losing it. But, I looked over at Daniel, looking so sad, I just couldn't. As my mom's baby blue casket laid on top of my dad's, I leaned over and threw the other red rose I had, on top of hers.

As everyone started to leave to their cars, I couldn't move. I felt I needed to stay there, because the last time I seen them alive was the before the accident. I left things with them on bad terms and now I feel guilty.

If we hadn't got into that fight, if I hadn't stormed out acting like a spoiled little three year old, my parents wouldn't have gone out looking for me, and they never would have got into that horrible car accident.

-Flashback-

"You can't go out with him tonight."

"Why Mom, you never let me go out with Noah any night… he's a good guy."

"Alyssa, he's five years older than you."

"Dad, what is the difference? You are like four years older than Mom."

"You just turned seventeen a few months ago… he's twenty two and things were different back then."

"Oh please, Dad… spare me."

"What your father is trying to say is… can't you wait till after you turn eighteen?"

"No, Mom… are you crazy?!?!"

"No, I am not crazy… we're just trying to look out for you."

"Don't bother."

Then she stormed out of the house and that was the last time Alyssa saw her parents alive.

-End of Flashback-

Now, my parents are gone, all because I stood up for my so-called boyfriend: Noah. Before I found out about my parents death and after I left the house, I went over to see him and caught him cheating on me with this stupid girl from school, named: Maria.

I should have listened to my parents that night, but it's my fault that their final resting place is in the ground. As I wiped a tear away, I felt someone tugging on my leather jacket. I looked over and saw Drew standing there with his hand out.

"Come on, Al, let's go."

I shook my head and said "I'm going to stay for a little while… I'll meet you at your house when I am done."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, where's Daniel?" I asked looking around.

"Aunt Sally has him in the car."

"Okay." I nodded.

"If you need me, Al, give me a call."

"I will, Drew." then I watched my brother walk over to his car and drive away. I returned my teary eyes back to my parents caskets in the ground.

I stood there for another thirty minutes, then I walked over to my car. To my surprise, my best friend: Chloe was leaning on the driver side door.

"Hey, Chloe, I thought you left with your mom?" I asked.

"No, I stayed behind. I think I should drive your car over to Drew's." I thought about it for a second then thought that Chloe was right. So, I gave her my keys and got into the passenger side as Chloe got in, then drove off.

"Hey, Chlo… do you want to hear something fucked up?" I said breaking the awkward silence.

"Sure." she nodded.

"Since my parents are no longer living… I am going to be shipped off to live with one of my aunts."

"Oh no… really?"

"Yeah, I don't know when or what aunt, but when I do… I think you should come and join me."

"Okay, I will… just let me know where you are at."

"Awesome." I smiled for the first time today, hearing that Chloe might be moving where ever I move to.

"How come you can't stay with Drew?" she asked me.

I shrugged my shoulders and said "I have no clue… I mean, I would love to stay with my brother. I get to see Daniel when ever I want. But, I don't know why I can't stay with him."

"Oh... I didn't see Noah, how come he wasn't at the funeral?"

I looked at her and said "You don't know?"

"Know what? This is the first time we've talked since before the… um, accident."

"Oh okay. Well, the night of the accident… I went over to Noah's and I caught him cheating on my with that girl in second period."

"Oh no, Aly… what girl?"

"Maria." I said with a disgusted look on my face.

"Eww… her?" I nodded. "Gross, she'll give it to anyone who will take it."

I nodded again and said "Yeah, I guess Noah is into that kind of thing… school girls are like fresh meat to him. He's stupid."

"What a jerk… Aly, think of it this way, there are more fish in the sea… way better than Noah."

"Yeah, I know." I said looking out the window at the scenery passing by me.

Five minutes later, Chloe pulled into my brothers drive way, and we got out, then walked into his house. There was a lot of people that knew my parents and I didn't feel like mingling with any of them.

All I wanted was to go see what Daniel was up to, so I went to go look for him and I found him watching cartoons in his room. I sat down on his bed and cleared my throat.

"Um... hey Danny, what are you watching?"

"Tom and Jerry… mine and Grandpa's favorite cartoon."

I smiled and said "Do you miss Grandpa?" he nodded. "How about Grandma?"

He looked at me and said "I miss them both, Aunt Aly."

"Me too, Buddy." I looked over and saw Drew standing in the door way.

"Can I talk to you for a second?" he asked me. I nodded and followed him to a guest room. There was a woman sitting on the bed, as I was trying to remember who she was, she spoke.

"Hello… I am your Aunt Gina." she said giving me a hug. " I haven't seen you since you were five years old." she backed up to look at my face. "You look gorgeous, Alyssa."

"Uh... thank you." I said as she sat back down on the bed. I looked over at Drew and he was pulling out something from the desk drawer.

"Al, in this folder is a copy of mom and Dad's will, the statement of the bank account they left you, your birth certificate, transcripts, and other things you will need."

He handed me the folder and I said "Um… okay. What will I need these for?"

"Al, you'll be going to stay with Aunt Gina." Drew said looking away from me.

"Where?" I asked.

"I live in a little town called Ipswich… in Massachusetts."

"Wonderful." I said rolling my eyes.

"I already got your plane ticket… we leave tomorrow morning." My head snapped up.

"What?! Are you frickin kidding me?!"

Drew pulled me into his arms for a hug, then he said "Relax, Al… Mom and Dad want it this way. Everything will be okay, just give it a chance."

I nodded into his chest and said "Fine." Drew let go of me and I looked over at Aunt Gina. "Sorry, I'm just surprised that I have to leave so suddenly."

"It's okay, honey… I wasn't expecting you to jump for joy. But, I think you will like it over there."

"We'll see." I said shrugging my shoulders. I was not looking forward to saying 'goodbye' to everyone I cared about.
