Beatrice Prior
I wake to the sound of my alarm going off. I groan as I wipe the sleep from my eyes. I grab my phone and see 6:15 a.m., Thursday, June 12th. It's been exactly one year since the incident that changed my life forever.
I had just finished my last class of the day. The bell rang and everyone begins cheering because it's the last day of school. Summer has finally begun. As I walk to clear out my locker, I think about how I'm going to have the best summer ever. I grab my stuff and walk out with my friends and start planning things to do. We were talking about going to the beach and attending upcoming parties when my phone rings. I look down and see the caller is brother, Caleb. I walk away from my group of friends and pick up the phone.
"Hello, Caleb?"
"Beatrice, it's mom and dad, they were in a car accident. They're currently at the hospital, please come right now. The doctor said they don't have much longer"
"What? When this happen? Caleb? Caleb? What happened?" I keep shouting at the phone until I realize he already hung up. I collapse, my knees sinking into the ground. People start staring at me, but I don't care. All I want is my parents to live. Tears are now streaming down my face and all I can think is this is a dream. This can't be happening. My parents can't be dead. They'll be okay, I know it. They have to be.
My friends notice me on the ground and run up to me and asking what's wrong. I try to explain to them what's happening the best I can while balling my eyes out. They seem to understand my situation and all start hugging me trying to comfort me.
"I have to go. I need to go to the hospital." I tell them
"No, I won't let you go alone. I'll drive". My friend Danielle says
"Fine, let's go". I wave to my friends as I run to her car.
During the car ride to I send a prayer to God, begging Him to spare their lives, to let them live. 'Not my will but yours be done.' I think on the way there.
Needless to say, it wasn't God's will. I attended my parents' funeral two weeks after that call
A/N Thanks for reading! This story is actually kinda personal to me because I also have lost a parent before. So I kinda understand what Tris is going through at the moment. Anyway, please review and follow this story! - Bryanna
