I watched out the window, waiting hours for my mother to come home but she never did. I looked over to the clock seeing that it was ten and I was already tired. As I got up to get ready to go to bed, I heard a knock on my door.
I ran down the remaining stairs and unlocked and open the door, waiting to embrace my mother in a tight hug.
"Mother I was so scared yo-" I got cut off by a man wearing a police uniform.
"I'm sorry to inform you ma'am, but your mother is dead, there was a shooting that happened and we found a body which appears to be your mothers" After speaking, I looked down to the floor, holding the tears, trying to be strong for my mothers sake.
"Thank you for telling me officer" with that we said or goodbyes and
I closed and locked the door. My father was at a important trip so I could not tell him.. just wait until he finds out about this, he's going to be so hurt. I walked up stairs brushed my teeth and got in to my bed, contemplating of skipping school tomorrow..
