CHAPTER 2

I walked into the police office out of breath only to be greeted by two grim-faced officers.

"Miss Rodgers, you may want to sit down," the taller officer gestured toward an empty seat.

"Listen, I really got to get back home, my parents are going to be wondering where I am," I said trying to escape their pitiful gazes.

"That's the thing…your sisters and mom… they died in a car accident about an hour ago," the deputy said, waiting for my reaction. I feel a sense of dread rushing through my body. I felt frozen, I couldn't believe it. Oh no were Sadie and Miranda, my sisters, in the car.

I was afraid to ask, not because I will miss him,"W-was my Dad in the car too?" by the way they were looking at me I thought yes.

My terror was interrupted by my aunt rushing in crying, "My sister my poor sister, oh my poor, young sister. And her daughters, Sadie and Miranda, oh no," she sobs more not even noticing me or caring how I felt.

"Mrs. Madison Kobar please calm down. We called you hear to tell you that you are now he legal guardian of your niece, Katelyn," the deputy said.

"Oh are you sure I though she was supposed to go to an orphanage," my aunt says, looking at me like I'm a piece of garbage.

"Excuse me," I say,"I'm almost nineteen I'm pretty sure I can take care of myself, besides I didn't even live with them anyway."

Just as we entered the car it started to pour. I've always love the rain, but today it was a sad reminder of this horrible day. The sadness didn't really hit me until I fell into my bed in my one room apartment. A wave of tears hit me as I realized…they were gone…forever. That night I cried myself to sleep, not knowing the worst had just started.

Past is almost over you just need to wait until a little more. REVIEW!
