Naia's POV
It had been two days since I had woken up. Everybody was so nice to me at the hospital, it made me even more reluctant to go back to live with the Samuals. However, I knew that I had to go and protect my siblings.
"Naia, someone's here to see you." April said and two women walked in. One had brown hair and the other had blondish hair.
"Hi Naia, my name's Erin Lindsay and this is Hailey Upton." Erin introduced.
I have them a little smile, confused why they were here.
"Naia, I'm sorry but Mr. and Mrs. Samual are gone. Mr. Samual tried to shoot Ellie, Thomas and Shane but Mrs. Samual jumped in front of them. Mr. Samual then shot himself. They were both dead when we got on scene." Erin said.
I thought I was dreaming at first. Gone. They were gone. I didn't ever want them dead. I never wished them to be dead. But now they were. I longed to ask Erin what will happen to Ellie and the boys and me now that we didn't have anyplace to go.
"Ellie is staying with a foster family in North Utica. The boys are staying with someone north a bit." Hailey said as if she could read my mind.
"You'll be in the hospital for a bit but when you're ready to go, I'm sure there will be a family waiting to take you in." Erin said, putting her hand on my shoulder.
I still wasn't sure I heard right. They were dead. I just have had a really stupid look on my face but so didn't care. How could this have happened? It was my fault this happened. If I hadn't gone out that morning, none of this would have happened.
"We'll leave you for a bit." Hailey said and they got up and left.
I tried to think what could have gone wrong. Why was a gun involved suddenly? I closed my eyes but opened them when the tears ran out of room and started dripping down my cheeks.
