It was a rainy day and based on the news a tropical storm had entered the country, I was alone in my room listening to my favorite music and crafting things that I could use and design on my room. I wanted to become a designer and that's what I've been doing right now. I started studying and hoping to be a successful designer in the future.

I was about to stand up when theirs a sudden loss of light. And I am startled cause I am afraid of dark. I used my hand on finding my phone. When I feel that I already touch something rectangular I immediately hugged it and thanks god for I was able to see again. Yes! The rectangular shape was my phone. I hurriedly open the flashlight and ran out of my room.

Sobbing is the first thing I heard at the living room. And as I was about to reach the sofa I saw my dad hugging my mom who is sitting and sobbing on the sofa.

"Mom..Dad what's wrong?" I asked and they stared at me sadly.

"Mom got a phone call"dad replied

My mind was puzzled about what is the call all about. "Then? What about it?" I asked confused

"Your brother got into an accident, he was rushed to the nearest hospital in the V. Avenue Street"I was shocked at the moment

"Then why are you still in here?" I asked and they stared again at me sadly

"You're afraid of dark we can't leave you alone and besides you can't go with us even if we go their 'cause your immune system won't survive this cold weather" Mom said

So they were still here because of me. Because I am afraid of dark and I can't survive to much cold.

"Mom... Dad I begged you to visit my brother please"

"You sure?"Dad asked and I quickly replied "YES"

After I answered they quickly rushed out of the house to check if my brother is okay, if he's hurt or somethin'.

Car started and the gates opened. I watch my parents car until it disappear out of my sight and closed the front door and get back on my bedroom.

The only light I see was the light coming from the moon. I closed the curtains of the window and lay down the bed where I feel comfort though I feel nervous cause I'm afraid of dark plus the feeling of sadness because my stepbrother got into an accident.

I can't sleep and I kept on thinking about my brother. If he is still okay? Did he break any bones? How many bones had been broken? Can he walk? What would happen to him after this accident?

***Slam***

I heard a slam on the door and I quickly got out with the flashlight on my right hand. I am very excited to see them. B-but I was wrong it's not my parents nor my brother cause it's a stranger.

"Who are you?"I asked but he grinned at me

"I think your lost....Get out sir or else I'll call the guards" he started walking towards me

I pointed him the flashlight I am holding and my heart started to pound because of nervousness "You're trespassing!" I once said but he acts as if he doesn't hear anything of it.
