Innocent

The Accident

-Arabella- 

"Hunny, make sure you're homework, you'r father and I will be back after dinner, there is food in the fridge okay?"  My mom said for the third time as she zips up her winter jacket getting ready for the cold winter. I smile and nod at mom mom. 

"Of course, I will finish my work, and heat up some mac and cheese."  I hug her one last time. My dad stands there coming his hair before leaving. Once they leave to there dinner date I sigh and walk to the counter, I pull out a box of mac and cheese and start boiling some water. 

I sit back at the dining room table to finish my paper, life is really boring. I love my parents but I want a friend. 

A loud ding comes from my phone erupting me from my thoughts,  I see its a message from my mom. 

Mom; Did you lock the door behind us?

My eyes widen as I quickly run to go lock the door, one I switch the golden shiny nob over I text my mom. 

Arabella; Yes momma, all good here. 

I sigh and go back to the stove leaving my phone on the counter, I grab the box and rip open the cardboard pulling out the cheese mix and setting it on the counter. I dump the box in to the pot of boiling water and stir so it doesn't stick to the bottom. Another dig raises from my phone. 

Mom; being safe?

Arabella; Of course mom, I'm about to eat some dinner. 

Mom; okay be safe, I love you 

Arabella; I love you too momma. 

I love her to bits, but sometimes I think she doesn't trust me home alone. 

I check if the noodles are done and slowly drain the water into the sink with the strainer. Once I put the doodles back into the pot with out the water I put about a teaspoon of butter, and a cub of milk with the cheese packet steering till all the noodles are coated in the golden cheese. 

I grab the olive colored bowl out of the right coup-bored and put a big spoon full into my bowl. I grab my eating spoon and walk to the table to finish my work and eat. 

I finish writing my paper and eating my dinner and start cleaning up. I did the dishes and cleaned up my homework. I check the time witch says 

'8:30'

weird, mom said after dinner, witch is six, maybe seven. 

Arabella; Mom, did your plans change?

I head up stairs to take a shower before I head to bed, while waiting for my mom to reply and getting the shower turned on, I get a really sick feeling in my stomach. I check my phone once more before undressing and hopping in the shower. 

After I do my lady things in the shower I hop out and wrap a white fluffy towel around my body. I walk into my room, grabbing a pair of red plaid  pajama pants and a white tank top, I put on my undergarments and then put on my jammies for the night. I check my phone seeing no messages from my mom.

Arabella; Good night mom, love you. 

I plug in my phone and shut it off, I turn off the lights and walk to my bed, the moonlight shining through my white window cretins shines light for me to see ware I am going. I pull the covers other my body and turn to my side. I fold my hands together and say a good night prayer to God, once I'm done I close my eyes and fall into the peaceful darkness.  

---

I shut my eyes tight wanting to sleep for one more moment, but of course I fail so the good mourning light blinds me. I shit up yawning and stretching. I look around my room and get out of bed. I pull on a sweater and my fluffy white slippers and walk downstairs. 

Walking into the kitchen I spot my moms and dads shoes still missing. 

Did they come home last night? 

I am so confused, they would never just not text or not come home. I walk to the stove to grab my tea pot, I put water in it and set is on the stove turning the stove on. I decide to check there room, maybe they just forgot to take there shoes off at the front door. 

I walk up stairs and knock on there door.

"Momma? Dadda?" I say lightly. No response. 

Maybe there still sleeping? 

But why would mom still be sleeping when its a Monday? 

I walk down stairs hearing the scream like noise of my tea. I turn the stove off and grab a  tea cup, i pore the hot water int the cup and set it down. I stand on my tiptoes to reach my tea packets. Failing I sigh and look around for something to stand on. I look around finding nothing. All of a sudden the door bell rings, I go to the window. I see my aunt and uncle standing there. My uncle emotionless holding his wife, my aunt crying in her husbands arms. I run to the door and open it. 

I aunt looks at me.

"Oh dear," She cry's holding me. I am so confused right know so I just rub her back to calm her. 

"Auntie why are you guys here?" I ask pulling a away from her a little. 

"Y-your m-m-other," She cries. I get worried. 

"What about my mom." 

"Y-your f-f-father d-din't s-see it." She cries. 

"Auntie what are you talking about?" I start freaking out. She looks at me with sad pitfall eyes.   

"T-t-there g-gone." She cries. 

As the words left her mouth its almost as if everything has stopped. The time, the movement. I could here my aunts cries, but it seemed almost distance.  This can't be real. I refuse to believe such horrid things. I refuse to.
