Mmkay, so this is my first fanfic. Ever. So, so sorry if it sucks. But please, read and review?

Disclaimer: I don't own the School. Or the idea of birdkids. But I own everything else (:

Drug overdose.

Heart failure.

Last family member.

Dead.

I hear these horrifying words floating through my head as they rush to try to save my dad. Their attempts are fruitless. He's dead. He was the last person in my family, last one there for me. I sit in the waiting room as they try one last time to fix him, fix their unfixable mistake. They killed my dad, can I forgive them?

I'm pulled back to the present by a girl's voice calling my name. "Jace!" I turn around, and there stands Bree. My best friend for as long as I can count. We were neighbors when we were 3, and had been friends ever since. I walk over to her, and she reaches out, embracing me. "Oh, God, Jace I'm so sorry!" she murmurs as I cling to her, letting the tears run down my face.

"What am I going to do?" I whisper. I was the last person standing in my family. My mom had died in a freak accident at her lab a year ago; and Juliet, my older sister, died just 5 months ago in a car crash. Now my dad was dead and I had nowhere to turn.

"Jace, you're going to be fine. Just relax." she said into my hair. I pulled her closer to me, surrounded by her sweet rose aroma. She had smelled like roses ever since we were children, playing in the sandbox together.

"Bree, I'm going to go for a walk. I'll be back soon." I wiped the tears from my eyes and walked out the front door, toward the park near the hospital. I sat down on a swing, softly pumping my feet back and forth. I remember the last time I saw my sister. She came for a visit from college. We went to some park, and competed to see how high each of us could swing. She won, of course. That's how I remember her, flying free and happy. I dragged my feet along the ground. And that's when I heard it. Quiet footsteps behind me. Quickly, I turned around and saw a tall, lanky man in a white coat, holding a baseball bat. Then, he swung the bat and hit me in the head. "Oww.." I murmur before watching the world slip from focus and go black.

Yea, ok, wasn't too painful? I hope not. Go review while I type up another chapter. Pleaseeee?
