-Authors note-
This is a story I've written a long time ago, based off of a painting by Monet. Of course the characters weren't in Shugo Chara form so that's of course a switch on the story. If the story begins to flow off into a different direction from the original I'll let you guys know ;D
Oh and here is a link to the painting if you guys want to see it .org/pittengerj/images/degas_
-Prologue -
It was any normal day for Amu… No strike that it was anything but normal for her today. In fact today might have been the worst day of her life. Today her parents died. Now alone, she finds herself in a new life style she could have never imagined.
-Main story-
"I HATE YOU!" Amu screamed at her parents once again as she ran up to her room and slammed the door. She quickly turned her back on the door, sliding to the floor. Tears ran down her face as she wondered why her parents never let her do anything she wanted.
"Oh dear she seems very upset this time" her mother said, very worried to her father.
"It doesn't matter! It's for her own good. I mean look at the forecast! Rain, thunderstorms, and hail all day!" her father defended his decision.
Both her parents finished their breakfasts and headed to work together.
Amu sat in her room listening to the garage door open and close, then the sound of a car driving off. 'Finally they're gone' she thought to herself. That day she decided not to go to school and just chilled at home. It was around six o'clock when she started wondering where her parents were. 'Psh they probably went out to eat without me' she thought in resentment. Lately it had been a constant battle with her parents, and it was obvious she was loosing. She turned on the TV to listen to some news while she waited for whatever scraps they would bring home.
"This just in. A train has derailed after a collision with a car. The passengers in the car have been pronounced dead on the scene. This story coming up, right after these announcements."
Amu clicked the TV off, not caring to see anything of that nature and instead headed upstairs to do some long procrastinated homework.
A few hours later, the ring of a doorbell resonated throughout the house. Amu slowly opened the door "forgot you keys again huh?" she said with a slight tone of cockiness. The smirk on her faced disappeared when she saw it was a police officer.
"Uh-um I-I'm sorry M-my parents a-aren't home" she managed to stutter.
The police officer looked at her with trepidation at what he was about to say.
"Miss Hinamori Amu. I'm sorry but earlier today your parents where killed in a train collision with their car. I'm so sorry for your loss.
