What To Do

Trent realize that he needs Anton Mercer in his life after his parents were killed in a archeological cave in.

It was a perfect day in the southern California area, the perfect day to hang out with some friends and eleven-year-old Trent Fernandez was more than happy today.

He was playing outside with his best friend, Mario Cruz, in his backyard of a typical white suburban house with a white picket fence in a quiet suburban neighborhood.

He was at his friend's house for the day since his parents were at a archeological cave dig with a friend of their. He was in his favorite white hoodie, blue shorts and white sneakers.

He and Mario was playing until Mario's mother, who was in a pink polo top, blue jeans, nude-color flats and her brunette hair in a slight messy ponytail, caught their attention and said to them,

"Hey, guys! Come inside and eat!"

They ran inside, sat down at the to eat and began to scarf down on freshly baked chocolate chip cookies and ice cold milk.

Mrs. Cruz looked at the mahogany grandfather clock in the living room and it was three o'clock. She walked back into the living room and asked Trent.

"Trent, do you know when your parents are coming to pick you up?"

"Yeah. After they finish with their dig with a friend in Arizona."

She curiously asked with her lean arms being crossed,

"Who's the friend?"

"I can't remember his name, but I know that he is really good friends with them."

"Okay."

Someone knocked on the front door and Mrs. Cruz excused herself and got the front door.

"Hello."

A guy in a black Italian silk suit and black shoes with blonde hair said to her,

"Hello. Is Trent Fernandez here? I'm a friend of his parents."

"Yes, he is here. Please come in." She allows him to come in and to sit on the comfortable beige couch.

"I would like to talk to him, please."

Mrs. Cruz called Trent into the living room and tells Mario to go up to his room for a while. Trent sits on the living room chair.

"Hi. Where's mom and dad?"

"Uh," Anton Mercer struggled to get the words out. "I don't know how to tell you this, but… your parents… are dead."

Trent started to laugh in the terms of denial. "You're kidding, right?"

He shakes his head. "No. There was a cave in and they got killed by the rocks that landed on their heads."

Trent still laughed in denial, which later turned into anger. "No. They're not dead! They're not!"

"Uh…" Mrs. Cruz turned on the television and a headline was in red letters: DEADLY CAVE-IN KILLED TWO PEOPLE, which caught Trent's attention, but not in a good way.

The reporter stated that in Arizona, where Trent's parents and Anton would be at, a cave has collapsed on two adults, during the cave-in, named Mauricio and Isabella Fernandez, which immediately killed them. Mrs. Cruz turns off the television and said with worry,

"Oh my god! I'm so sorry, Trent! Trent?"

They heard a small crash, turned around and saw that Trent collapsed on the hardwood floor.
