Chapter One

At 9 A.M, the Camden's, received a phone call that woke the whole family up. The Camden's never slept this late. But it was a Saturday and they were up late because Mary had came home and they sat up talking. Annie answered it first.

"Hello"

"Hello, Is this Mrs. Camden?" The Man asked.

"Yes"

"Will it be alright if I came over now?

"Umm.. Who are you?"

"I am officer Benton"

"Sure" Annie answered, worried. She knew she was about to receive bad news. She ran downstairs. Eric was already there. Lucy and Ruthie came rushing down right after. They were all listening in on the conversation and were all worried as well.

" Lucy, Ruthie go up to bed, we'll tell you what happens later"

The two obediently walked up stairs and sat with the other Camden's in Ruthie's old room.

"what's going on?" Mary asked.

" no idea" Lucy replied.

"maybe it's Simon, or Matt, or Sarah, or Robbie, Ben or Kevin" Ruthie thought, out loud.

Simon went to a party and was staying over at Morris's house, Matt and Sarah lived in New York, Robbie was visiting his Mom for the week and Ben was in Buffalo. Kevin was on duty right now. The three girls were really scared when they heard the doorbell ring downstairs.

Annie and Eric, still in their pyjamas, ran to answer the door.

"officer, what happened?. Please tell me. Is someone dead? Who?"

"I'm sorry to tell you Mrs. & Mr. Camden, but your son Matt and his wife Sarah were killed in a head on collision on there way home from the grocery store. The driver of the other vehicle, was drunk. He survived. Matt was sent through the windshield killed instantly. Sarah was rushed to the hospital and died within an hour. I'm so sorry"

Annie was crying her eyes out, Eric looked stunned and the tears were rolling across his cheeks. He closed the door on the officer and sat down on the couch. Annie walked upstairs, shaking and crying, walked into Sam and David's room and picked them up carried them to the room the girls were in.

"I'm sorry" she started, but couldn't finish, she was crying so hard. Just then, Eric walked up the stairs and into the room. He looked so angry.

"Some drunk bastard killed Matt and Sarah"

His angry turned instantly into uncontrollable sobs. Pretty soon the whole family was crying. Eric said he was going to pick up Simon to tell him. He left the room and the sobbing girls.

*****

Eric pulled into the driveway of Morris's house. He got out and knocked on the door. No answer. He knocked again. Still no answer. It was 10 o'clock, where were they? One more loud knock. Morris's mother answered.

"Can I help you?"

"Where's Simon?"

"Sleeping on the couch, would you like me to wake him?"

"Yes please"

In 10 minutes, Simon appeared at the door.

"What's up, Dad"

" Come on, Simon, You need to come home. Something happened"

Simon didn't hesitate or protest. He grabbed his stuff and got into the car with his father.

"Dad, Tell me what happened?"

"Simon, Your brother and Sarah were killed by a drunk driver lest night."

Simon stared at him in disbelief.

"Your joking right?"

Eric shook his head, fighting tears. He knew he couldn't cry here. Or he'd hill Simon and himself. Simon burst in to tears as they pulled into the Camden driveway. There was another car there now. It was Robbie's. Eric burst in to tears again. Kevin's police cruiser was also there. The two walked into the Camden house. The whole house was sad. You could feel it when you walked in. You could feel it in the walls, the floors. It was everywhere. Eric and Simon walked in to the kitchen. Annie ran over and hugged Simon, and then Eric again. The house was so depressing, Eric couldn't stand to be in it any longer.

"I'm going out for awhile" he said then left.
