Dead.

The words echoed through my head. I slowly opened my eyes and looked around me. I saw my parents above me. My dad was crying eyes puffy and red. My mum looking stern as always. I knew I was in hospital but I didn't know why. I last thing I remember was sitting at dinner with my family and boyfriend, them meeting each other was extremely important to me. I gently sit up. Wondering what hurt. My mums too busy talking to the nurse but my dad started to cry harder saying something I couldn't understand.

I catch a word the nurse said to my mum . A single tear rolls down her cheek. I wonder to myself what happened and who has died.  I slowly get out of bed realising my parents don't realise that I have moved.

I walk out the door seeing the rest of my family are outside in the waiting area. No one notices that I'm standing in the doorway. I see Lucas, my boyfriend, crying hugging my sister (Alice) I walk over to them , they were always close to each other and I think back to the first time they met each other. 

Alive 

It's a Friday. Me and Lucas have just walked in the door of my home. See I thought no one was home as my parents work late and Alice is normally at a friends house.
