Chapter 4

Last time

"can I ask you something?" I asked. H gestured for me to continue. "where exactly am I? What state am I in?"

His eye's grew wide. "You are an hour away from Nashville."

"Really? I thought we were further away than that."

"what was that?" he asked. 'oops' I thought

"oh nothing." I said that then he looked over the papers in front oh him again. "um can I sign and leave please?" he nodded and handed me the papers. I signed them then turned to leave, but then I remembered my brother and sisters. "what's going to happen to my siblings?" I asked.

"would you like their belongings? They have already buried in the cemetery near here." I didn't even get to say goodbye? So I nodded my head. "I'll go get them." He said and left the room. He came back a few minutes later with two brown paper bags and a small duffle bag. "This is all that's left of all of your clothes from everything. It may contain some of your brothers clothing in it." I nodded and he left me alone.

I emptied their bag's onto the bed. The first thing I saw was my brothers things. It looks like they washed their clothes first before they put them into the bag's even though I just got dressed I went back into the bathroom and changed into my brothers shirt… I always loved his shirts.

I went back into the room and looked over my sisters belongings. I saw her necklace that dad gave her for graduating collage and the bracelet that mom got her for her birthday. And her ape pullover hoodie. I also saw Nicks wolf necklace in with Katlynne's stuff. He always wore it, when he would babysit with me and he was playing with them he would let me wear it… I pulled it over my head. 'I just want to go home now' I thought. So I packed their stuff back into the bags and left.

"oh miss Stam's your stuff from the crash… the stuff that wouldn't fit into that small bag you have there, will be sent to your house."

I nodded and said "thank you." Then walked down the hall and outside walking away from the last place I'll ever want to be again.

When I got outside I kept walking clinging to the bags. When I got far enough away I was on the sidewalk being passed by cars, taxi's, trucks, and bus's.

I raised my arm to flag a taxi down. Three stopped one in each lane… 'guy's I'm betting' I thought. I got into the taxi closes to me.

"where to?"

"Nashville and I don't want to hear about it." I said and buckled up. I spent most of my ride lost in my thoughts. When we were almost to my house the cabbie asked me where to go so I just kept giving directions like take a left or take a right here.

We pulled up to the house, I paid and got out. I got my key's out and walked into the back… we always use it for family. Using the front door is just to… I don't know casual? Well what ever. I saw that the Van and Chucks work truck still here.

'why didn't they go to work?' I thought. I walked in to the phone ringing. I answered it as I passed the cord free.

"hello Temp's residence?"

"Hi is Chuck there?"

"um… I'm not sure… I just walked in… who is calling?"

"Ron… his boss." I walked pass Nicks room because that's where Chuck would be… but he wasn't. It was hard to keep looking in the room so I hurried passed it.

"okay… um let me see if I can find him." I said and walked to the bathrooms just incase he was in their. I held a hand over the receiver. "Chuck? Chuck are you home?" I called out but got no reply. "why didn't you call him on his cell?" I asked

"I did… I've been trying to get a hold of him since early this morning."

"oh" I said and continued my search

The last place I looked is where I know I'll find mom… working on her new blog or something like that. I headed up the stairs. Their bedroom door was cracked open. I opened it a little bit more and saw two shapes in the bed. 'weird… why are they still sleeping?' I thought. 'even if it was a weekend Chuck would be up at eight.' I looked at the clock and it said 1:30 PM.

I went to his side of the bed. "Chuck?" I said shaking him. "Chuck your boss is on the phone." I pushed him over and the next thing I know I hear a blood curdling scream. And it was my own. I dropped the phone and covered my mouth, my legs gave out and I was crying.

There in the bed laid Chuck with his neck slit and his eye's and mouth open next to my mother.

"hello? Hello? Are you still there?" I heard Ron call out… but I couldn't answer… all I could do is cry.

I don't know how long I sat there but the next thing I know there was a man next to me. "are you okay? What's your name?" he kept asking. But I was frozen. He picked me up and carried me down stairs and onto the couch. "I'm Ron… remember we were talking on the phone?" I nodded. "I need to go look at your parents… do you think you can call the police?" I asked and handed me a phone but didn't wait for me to respond before he turned around and walked back up the stairs.

Still with tears running down my face I picked up the phone and dialed 911. I tried a few time… my hands were to shaking to bad they kept pressing the wrong buttons. When I finally got it I could hardly speak.

"Hello 911 state your emergency."

"p-p- please help"

"what's your emergency?"

"M-m-my dad… h-he… he's… he's" and that's all I could get out.

"stay calm I am sending help right now, would you like me to stay on the line with you while help is on the way?"

I couldn't answer so I just hung up and walked towards the bathroom, and to the toilet, and threw up all the stuff in my stomach. I leaned up against the tub. It was about fifteen minutes before I heard sirens.

"Umm… what's your name kid?" I forgot that Ron was here.

"Jayden." I whispered.

"Okay Jayden I just let the fire men in." he said then left again.

"Clear… Clear… Clear." I heard people calling out.

There were more callings of clears. Then I'm guessing that they found Mom and Chuck. "hey we got something, keep checking the house for the girl." Someone yelled "and get two gurneys up here!"

I closed my eye's and leaned against the tub again.

"found her!" someone said and came over to me. I opened my eye's. "shit" I heard him mutter. "okay she's alive." He came closer. "Are you alright? Are you hurt? Who did this?"

"I-i-I'm fine, I just, I just got here." I said. " m-my parents"

"come on, come outside, fresh air will do you some good." He helped me up and out the door, a paramedic came up to me.

"I'm fine. I just got here this morning." But that didn't stop them from checking on me. When I was 'clear' they left me alone just in time for me to watch them stroll out the gurneys out with white cloths over them.

I couldn't bare anymore and started bawling. I sank to the sidewalk.

"Miss… is there anyone you can stay with?"

I looked up "No." I choked out. "all my family is DEAD now!" I pulled my knee's up to my chest and started to rock back and forth.

"is there anywhere that we can send you so we know where you are?"

"the only person I think is alive would be my grandma." Why must this be happening to me? I have to go to LA?

"where does she live?"

'your not safe there' my mind kept telling me. 'everyone is gone.'

"Cal-…" I stopped myself. "Washington… State." For the first time in my life I was going with my gut.

Oh my gosh I'm so happy about this… it's a long…er chapter. Have a great New Year everyone!
