Sirens blare outside my window, waking me up. I look at the clock. It's only 10:45, but since it's December the sky is dark. Scared, I put my small hands over my ears. 'What's going on?!' I wonder as I run toward the window. As soon as I look out the window I regret it. Outside sits a tow truck with my dad's car smashed. But what really scares me is the ambulance sitting outside. The sirens blare, as a man in a white coat talks to my step mom, Susan. She looks heartbroken, as tears pour down her face. My step brothers are no where to be seen, they probably slept through the sirens.

Finally the man gets back in his ambulance and he and the tow truck drive off. Susan heads back into the house and I curl up in a ball on my bed. She doesn't need to tell me what's happened, because I've already figured it out. He's gone. My daddy's gone....forever. Grief stricken I put my head in my hands to muffle my empty heartbroken sobs. Suddenly the world seems a whole lot darker and more intimidating.

A/N: Sorry guys for the short chapter! I promise the next one will be longer. Enjoy my new fanfic😋
