"Hi Mommy!" she ran to give her mother a hug, but she stopped her. "Hi Honey. Before you start asking questions, your father and I have something to tell you." Caroline became a little nervous after this last statement. It wasn't sounding too good so far. "You see, honey. Well, um, Bill and I have decided not to see you anymore."

"What?" She gaped.

"Now dear it's for the best. I'm telling you this because I love you. I want the best for you and we have decided that your father will take care of you now."

"You don't want me anymore?" Caroline asked in disbelief. Her mother sighed "You never loved me. You never loved me!" Carline screamed. "No one cares! You go and marry some low life jerk who tries to control me and yells at me every time I do the slightest thing wrong. And now you're sending me away to-

"Shut up!" yelled her mother, leaving Caroline slightly shocked. "And you wonder why we're sending you away! You selfish little bitch! I should have had a damn abortion when I had the chance! Seven years of hell! You worthless little brat! Now get out of my house! Get out!

"How dare you!" bellowed her father." You have no right!"

And as her parents argued, she ran out the door into a world of confusion.' Am I really worthless?' She was screaming inside.

"Caroline! Wait!" Her father ran after her.

"No" she sobbed as she ran out into the street.

"Caroline! Caroline Stop!"

"What?" She had stopped in the middle of the street.

"Everything will be alright. Honey, just come back. I love you baby girl. Please come back now."

"You do?"

"Caroline.........I love you more than anything in this world. You're the reason that I live. You're my girl Carol, hm, Carrie." he smiled.

She sniffed at this. Here was the man who stood up for her to her own mother. Now he was quoting her nicknames. She sighed sadly. OK.

"CAROL LOOK OUT!!"

He shoved her out of the way just in time, but the truck had missed her and had impaled him. He had shoved her so hard that she had gotten the wind knocked out of her. When she could breathe properly again, she screamed so loud that the neighbors came out to see. A man got out of the truck in a state of shock. "Aw shit. Aw shit!" He climbed back into his truck and sped off.

"NOOOOOOO!!!! DADDY!!!!"

She ran to him and rocked him back and forth. "I won't let you die! I won't let you!"

She cried and cried, begging God not to take him, but knew it was too late, for she had blood-soaked hands.

She looked to her house and saw her mother standing there in the doorway, her hand covering her mouth.

"WON'T YOU DO SOMETHING!...............PLEASE ANYBODY"......she chocked out....."Help."

The only person that loved her. The only person that ever cared...was gone.......and it was all her fault. Oh, she wanted to die of guilt. It was all and entirely her fault.

Her birthday was so close, only two months away, and her father wouldn't be there to see it.
