Thanks for reading. I hope you like the next chapter. I am not very good at writing fanfictions, so please be patient as I try to figure this out.

May got off the school bus and walked over to her house. She opened the door, and went over to her dad (who was in the kitchen baking something) and told him the wonderful amazing news.

"There won't be any school for the rest of the year!" she said excitedly.

"Wow!" said her dad. "And also Happy Birthday!"

"Wait, today is my birthday? I thought that it was tomorrow," said May. She went over to the dinner table, and started to do her homework. By the time she was finished, it was dinner time. Her dad made her favorite food, which was hamburgers, and then they had brownies.

"Now for the presents." said her dad. He went into his room and brought out three wrapped packages and a card. He put them on the table. May pulled over the first one and unwrapped it. It was a thin golden chain with a white flower pendant.

"It was your mother's," said her dad. May put it on right away.

Then she got a green shirt. The next one was a backpack. It was so huge!

"I thought that maybe we could go backpacking, and since you're out of school, then we could go tomorrow." said her dad.

"Thanks dad!" said May. It would be nice to spend time with him, especially since he was so busy with his job (at the grocery store).

"You forgot to open the card."

"Oh, yeh." said May. She took out the envelope, and read it.

Dear May

I'm sorry that I didn't have enough money to buy something really special, but I got you a video game.

It's called Minecraft. I'll put it on your laptop tonight. You can play it when you're feeling sad. I just want you to know that I care about you. Your mom would be proud.

Love

Dad :)

"Aw, thanks dad. It's fine that you didn't get me anything else." said May. They went over to the TV, and sat down, and watched a movie. After it was over, she went upstairs and went to bed.


May woke up and groaned. She was not a morning person. She got dressed, (in her new shirt and necklace) and went downstairs. Her dad was cooking breakfast.

"Ready to go backpacking?" asked her dad.

"Oh, that was today?" asked May sleepily.

"Yes. Go to the table, we are going to have breakfast. Don't worry, I packed your bag for you."

May went to the table. She wondered where they were going. After breakfast they got into the car. They drove out of town and into the mountains. The roads curved around the were going around a bend in the road when-

!SMASH!

The car rolled over and landed on the drivers side. May felt really dizzy, and her head hurt. Then everything went black...
