Four Years Earlier...
Michael Cooper's laugh came out more like a song. It radiated and bounced off every corner of the car. It was followed by his daughter's, May Cooper.
"So what do you choose?" He looked at her, his eyes crinkled as he smiled in pure happiness.
"Taco Bell," was what May had responded.
When they had gotten to the restaurant, the Drive-Thru line had been too long so they decided that Mr. Cooper would go inside and order while May stayed in the car.
"I'll get a number seven with a Strawberry Skittles Freeze," May had smiled. Mr. Cooper had been gone for ten minutes and in the meantime, May scrolled through her Wattpad page in search for a new book to read. A notification popped up.
Hailey: Soooo is the party on Friday the move?
May smiled as she typed back a response and then continued to wander about on the app, clicking on stories, reading its description, and adding it to her library if she found it interesting enough.
She had seen through her peripheral vision when her father had exited the store but she didn't bother to look up from her phone.
She hadn't looked up until she had heard a loud thud outside. At first she didn't make anything of it and went back to her screen. But something was nagging at her conscience. As if it was trying to tell her something.
Dad. Was what it seemed to shout at her.
Hadn't she seen him walking out the store not a few seconds earlier?
Her heart began to race. Something was wrong and she knew it. She was too afraid to move. Too afraid to look. Too afraid to know what her brain had already figured out.
But she swallowed it. The fear, the anxiety, the numbness in her legs as she hopped out of her father's black pick up truck.
When she saw what she saw, her body froze. Her blood seemed to become cold. Her voice, a shrilling scream, begging to escape her throat.
There Mr. Cooper was, redness spreading through the cracks and crannies of the pavement upon which his body was scrawled over. His blood mixing with May's red Skittles drink, creating a sour but sweet smell.
"No," May whispered, tears barely forming in her widened eyes.

A/N
Yes, yes, I know... New story and all...
I haven't really been writing lately because of school and my new job. But I'm currently on Winter Vacation with absolutely nothing to do so I might as well right?
Anyways... I just found out about Wattpad's beta system where you have to pay to get coins... WTF? That's ridiculous!
Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this chappy, more to come... soon...
XOXO, MelBear ♡
