"um... Alice, I have to talk to you about something important" said the girl's father when he stuck his head in the door. The petite blonde got up and followed her father into the living room. They sat down on the maroon couch. Her father was obviously tounge tied, so she spoke first.
  "Why aren't they back yet?"the destress and worry thick in her usually soft, angelic voice. Her father stared at the grey carpet, tears beginning to stream down his face.
  "Th-they died in a car crash, your mom and sister are gone"with those words her father stopped trying to hold back the tears, and the flood gates broke. Alice got up and ran back to her room, slamming the door behind her loudly. She fell to the bed sobbing.
   She needs to talk to someone, but she only has one friend,and they just met last wendsday. Despite having just recently met her, Alice calls Jamie anyhow.
The phone rings twice then Jamie picks up "Hello?" She says softly.
  "I'm sorry, I wouldn't usually call you so late but I had to talk to someone" Alice rushes her speech, her voice still weak from crying.
   " It's fine, I wasn't tired anyways, but what's wrong? You sound like you've been crying" Jamie says genuinely concerned about her. Though they only met last week, the the tall girl had taken a liking to the much smaller girl.
   "M-my sister isn't coming back, or my mom"
   "Oh...honey. you can come over if you want, I'll pick you up in ten"
