There you were. On your bed. 5 am. You haven't slept. You couldn't anymore. You just stared, at the ceiling, thinking depressive and suicidal thoughts. Your bedsheets were full of blood. You were too exhausted to clean anything. Your room was a mess. It was dark, and there were packets of random food everywhere. You were only 17. Your family had died in a fire when you were 14. You started thinking about that day again. You'd never forget it.
It all started on your birthday, there was a surprise party for you.
"SUPWISEEEEE!" Shouted your little brother, running into your room. You were on your bed, not asleep, but laying down. Your brother's name was Alex, he was adorable...only 3 when he died. He had curly brown hair, which was so soft and luscious. He usually wore overalls with a yellow shirt which was striped with random colours under.. "HAPPY BIFDAY BIG SISSY! I WUV YOUUU"
"AWWWW!" you smiled, giving him a big hug, "I love you too! Where's mom and dad?"
They appeared from behind the door.
"MOMMM! DADDDDD! I LOVE YOUUUU! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING!"
You ran towards them and gave them a hug.
"Awwwwww! We love you too our little birthday sweetie! Why don't you come down? We have a piñata~!" Said your mom, with that soothing singsong voice of hers.
"I'm not a child anymore mom...but i do love piñatas! Especially all the candy...mmmmm..."
You were now 14, but still had the mind of a 7 year old who loved sweets, candy, unicorns, rainbows, pastel colours, and all those things 7 year-olds love.
Your bed was filled with stuffed animals, your desk was colourful, your room was filled with rainbow and unicorn decor. You went to the bathroom, took a short shower, then brushed your teeth. You opened your closet, and chose to wear a white top which had a unicorn face on it, and a pink short skirt. You wore some white leggings underneath, just in case. Although you had a mind of a child, you were aware of everything going on in the world. You then put on some pink heels.
As soon as you finished getting ready, you got your phone and opened it up. An iPhone it was, an iPhone 7. You unlocked it and saw a text from your boyfriend.
"Happy birthday"
That was it. Just, "Happy birthday". You saw some other texts from your friends, they were more detailed and had great wishes. You then replied to your boyfriend.
"Thanks"
You wrote but didn't send it, pondering wether it not you should add the word "sugar" afterwards. You decided to, so the text came out like this.
"Thanks sugar! Ily"
Left on read.
You sighed, as you went downstairs and into the dining room. Around the table, you saw your friends, your brother, and your parents..but no sign of your boyfriend.
"Where's Carlos?" You asked your parents.
"Oh..he said he wouldn't be able to make it." Replied your dad.
"Oh..okay.."
You were about to cry. But you held the tears in.
Your besties were there though, so you decided that it was okay that Carlos wasn't here.
You opened your presents, you didn't exactly remember what they were though.
You had such a great time, playing games, dancing, having food. It was now time to cut the cake.
It was two-tiered cake, coated in white fondant and a fondant unicorn horn, with fondant unicorn eyes. There was a flower crown made out of frosting. It was beautiful. Your mom got out the paper plates, and put them infront of where everyone was sitting. You lighted the candles, but they were still not on the cake. You accidentally dropped one, and it landed on a paper plate. The fire was spreading really fast. Your table was made out of wood, so it caught on fire fast...
"QUICK! FIND THE EXTINGUISHER! CALL THE FIREFIGHTERS!" You screamed.
It was no use. It was spreading too fast.
"GET OUT OF THE HOUSE EVERYONE! QUICK!" Your dad shouted.
It spread to the floor, to the carpets, to the kitchen..you wondered how something so small could make something so big so fast.
Everyone ran out.
"WAIT! THE BROWNIES! THEY'RE STILL IN THE OVEN! OH MY GOD...LET ME GET THEM SO THEY DON'T CATCH ON FIRE!"
"NO WAIT! CHARLOTTE! THEY'RE JUST BROWNIES"
"I'LL BE BACK JOHNATHON! DON'T WORRY! LOVE YOU"
"WAITTTTTT!"
Your dad followed her inside.
"Where is mommy and daddy going?" Asked your brother.
"MOMMM! DADDD! COME BACK!" You screamed.
"MAMAAAAA! PAPAAAA!" Shouted your brother. He ran towards the house.
"NOOOO! ALEX! WAITTTT!"
It was too late.
You called 911.
They came 2 minutes after, the house was nearly fully on fire, about to spread to the neighbours. Your family had still not come out. They extinguished the house and 6 firefighters came inside the house to try and find them. They came out with them, their bodies, clothes, and hair burned.
"Alex, mom and dad..? Are you awake..?" You asked..about to cry.
"I'm sorry." Whispered a firefighter.
"No.."
You then cried. Your besties came around you and you had a group hug and cried together. You were now an orphan.
