A day in a life of a young girl named, Amber. She is a daughter of a single mother with an elder sister. Amber always argued with her sister, Ella. Amber never got along with her sister. Their mother worked in a salon, she was a senior hairdresser there and has worked there for two years. She enjoyed working there. While their mother is at work, her daughters are at school. Amber is in an elementary school while Ella's in a middle school. Every school day, Ella sends Amber to her elementary school, after she drops off Amber to her school, Ella just heads to her school.
One regular Tuesday morning, Amber and Ella were walking to their schools. While both of them were crossing the road, Amber saw a car speeding towards them. Ella didn't see the car heading towards her since she was using her phone and listening to music. Amber kept tapping her shoulder and screaming at her to run forwards, Ella didn't hear her. The car was now very close to them. Amber then forcefully pushed Ella away from the speeding car, if Amber didn't push her, she would've gotten injured, or even died. Unfortunately, I guess you know what happened, Amber got hit by the car. When Ella noticed Amber has gotten hit by the car, she screamed for help. People surrounded Amber's body, the car sped off from the scene, not knowing that he or she hit someone vigorously. Ella contacted her mother to arrive at the scene quickly, people called the police for an ambulance to arrive and deal with the gruesome scene. Five minutes past, the ambulance arrived and Amber and Ella's mother arrived at the scene. Their mother was filled with tears of what happened, she was scared. The medics brought Amber's body inside the ambulance and quickly drives her to the emergency room. Ella and her mother rode in the ambulance with Amber. Amber and Ella's mother contacted Amber's school to inform the school of what had happened. The school was shocked and they told the school principal. They arrived at the hospital and went inside the emergency room. The surgeons and nurses were in the emergency room doing their job of saving Amber. Their mother was in pain, praying for them to save Amber. She forced the surgeons to save her daughter. Ella was also crying, remembering all of the memories she had with Amber, whether it was good memories or the dreadful ones. After an hour of surgery on Amber's body, the heartbeat machine suddenly made a beeping sound, and you know what that means? Unfortunately, Amber, has passed away. Ella and her mother were praying to God to bring her back, but, she sadly didn't. The surgeons apologized to Amber's mother for not saving her from death. It's really sad that Amber's mother and her sister saw all of that happen. Ella was thankful that Amber saved her from the car crash, she was thankful that Amber sacrificed her life to save her, she was thankful for everything Amber has done for her, she was thankful for having good and bad memories about Amber.
After that day, Ella and their mother had dreadful days without Amber. Amber's school always reminded the students of what Amber has done, they put up a poster about Amber. Amber's friends always came to her house to hang out with her. Now that she's gone, they're dreadful about Amber not in this world anymore. She'd always help her friends with their homework, their studies. She'd always invite her friends to her house for dinner every Saturday evening. Now, they do come to her house every Saturday evening for dinner, but just, without Amber. Amber's family will never forget what she has done to her sister, Ella.
"Always help anyone you see who is in danger, no matter you dislike them, or not."
