Mourning

Chapter 1: Ryan, Brooke and Kylie Anderson

After making sure that her mother was alright, in her bed and sleeping, Lore Anderson took the phone that was downstairs. It was time for the most difficult part: telling the family the sad new of her father's tragic death. Josh wanted to play a bit with his electric train but the toy caught on fire. His wife, Rishell, tried to save him from the flames but she began to burn as well. Lore managed to call the firefighters for help but as she ran upstairs, both her parents were dead. On her knees,facing the Grim Reaper, she pleaded for her parents' lives. Rishell was saved, but it was too late for Josh. Being a family sim, the newly widow took her husband's demise really bad. That was why Lore managed to get her to bed and decided to be the one to announce the terrible new to her family. She too was destroyed, but someone had to do it and her mother was too unwell to do anything.

Composing her brother's number, who was studying with their cousins at Sim State University, Lore wondered how she would cope with the reactions of her relatives.

' Sim State University, Kylie Anderson speaking. '

' Hi, it's Lore. '

' Lore! What a good surprise sweetie! How are you? '

' I'm... I'm okay... Is Ryan around? It's very important. '

Lore heard her cousin calling Ryan. A few seconds later, she could hear the voice of her older brother.

' Lore? What is it? '

' You are the first one I call... I have a bad new... Ryan... Dad... '

' Dad? '

' Dad is dead. '

The young teenager expected the student to tell her some words, to be strong like he used to when she was little. For the very first time in her life, she heard him weak and crying. That was a shock to her, but Ryan was a human being like everyone else. She realized that.

Kylie saw her cousin shaking, his breathing became quite strange, he seemed unable to speak, unable to move.

' Ryan? ' She called

He bursted into tears in her arms. Without any words, she understood that her uncle Josh was no more. She too had lost her father, she knew what this reaction meant. Holding him close, she took the phone.

' Lore, it's Kylie. Don't worry about Ryan, I'll take care of him, we will call back when he feels a bit better. '

' I tried to save Dad... I saved Mom but... '

' Lore, you are a hero. You showed bravery, courage and strengh. You did everything you could. Tell Aunt Rishell that we are here if she needs anything, same for you of course. We love you very much. '

Kylie put the phone back to its place and shed Ryan's tears. Brooke arrived with Tyler, her new crush, and she immediately knew what was going on. The two of them went to see the crying man.

' It's okay to cry, Ryan. And who knows? Maybe your father will be blessed with a resurrection, just like Aunt Arianna and Dad. ' She tried to cheer him up

Through his tears, he managed to give her a weak smile. Kylie and her were also crying but they tried their best to smile, so that he would be eased a little. Even Tyler, who was not part of the family, took his hand. Ryan made himself a promise. He would call his sister and mother when he would feel better and he would tell them that he would realize his father's wish. He would graduate from college and take a good care of them. He was not alone, he had a friend and twin cousins he could rely on when the pain would become too unbearable.
