My eyes widened, and my jaw dropped. My tears keep streaming down on my face. How sad, I'm experiencing my darkest day.
“MOM! DAD! I'M HERE!” I shouted. My heart is beating, and there are a million knives that keep stabbing me.
“DAD!” I ran as fast as I can. I bawled uncontrollably, all I wanted was my parents! Is there something wrong with me? Am I a really bad person?
“MOM! I'M HERE, I'M READY TO HELP YOU! PLEASE!” My voice was cracked, but I keep in shouting, they will hear me.
“Sammy! Stop! It's dangerous!” I decided to ignore them, all I know is I want to see my parents, I want to be with them.
“Sammy! Please! Listen to me! There's still some fire!” I can't hear them. I went inside our house and began to search for my parents.
“Mom? Dad? I'm h-here!” My body can't maintain my weight, I feel like my body will drop on the ground anytime.
“M-Mom? I'm h-home, where are you?” My shoulder slumped. I saw our family picture, I smiled bitterly, “D-Dad, I know, I'm not a good daughter, but you don't deserve this.”
I walked around, I'm still searching for them, hoping that they were still alive, my eyes widened. I saw something...
“M-Mom?” My voice was already cracked, and body my is trembling. I can't help myself but cry and cry until my tears dry. My body dropped to the ground, and my eyes welled up in tears.
“Sammy, come here,” someone said, “D-Dad?” I stood up immediately, and run to our room. I'm sure they will be able to survive.
I saw my parents, they are sitting on the bed, they are smiling while looking at me. Despite all of my bruises, and wounds, I ran towards them and hugged them.
“Mom, I'm sorry, I'm not honest to you, I miss you, I want to be with you, and Dad, let's go outside, I'm here to help you... Please,” I pleaded. She patted my shoulder, “Shh, stop crying, Mom is here.”
“I love you, I didn't say it before, but you know that I love you, Mom, Dad, please, let's go...” I whispered. They were just smiling, so I hold their hands, and pulled them to stand up.
An ached started deep in my stomach, and I remained speechless. My shoulder slumped, while my jaw dropped a bit. I examined their faces.
“Mom? Why? Why you didn't tell me? Why you didn't wait for me? Dad? I thought you love me, why did you leave me?” I said while sobbing. For the time I walked inside the room, I just noticed their faces.
The surface was still hot, and there's some fire around the house. Our furniture was burned out, especially our other pictures. Looking at those things makes me feel weak, and regret everything that I've done.
Their smiles turn into a gloomy one, and their eyes were filled with tears, “We waited for you,” my mother said. I remember something, my father collapsed, where's his body.
“We tried to survive just for you, you're father collapsed because of stress, knowing that you're in danger until we both hit by the metal, look at that...” she pointed out the thick metal, I examined the place. When I looked back at my parents, they're gone.
“We love you, my daughter, please take care of yourself, be the best version of yourself, I know it hurts, but everything will be alright, trust the process, we know that you're a brave person, we are not mad at you... Sammy.”
I shouted because of pain. I hugged our picture, and let my body drag down on the ground, I ignored everything around me. My body hurts, but my heart hurts the most, and it feels like cutting my heart.
I gasped for air, “Sammy!” I heard Zhian's voice, I'm mad at him, this was not going to happen if he arrives at the parking lot, he promised me!
“You! This was your fault! If you do your promises, this will not be going to happen! I will not forgive you for this!” I exclaimed.
He was stunned. I don't know if he knows this or not, but all I can feel, and I want is to blame him for everything.
“You know why? I didn't arrive because someone cornered me earlier, and they force me to smell something that makes my consciousness left my body, I'm sorry, it's not what you've been thinking, sorry...” He looked at the ground while some tears are flowing from his eyes.
“Let's go, you might get hurt in here,” he muttered. He walks towards me, while I'm not moving from my position. He lends me his hand, but I chose to refuse it.
“Go away, I don't need you! Just leave me alone! I don't want to see you! Leave!” I shouted. If I'm not going to say this, he will be put in danger, I won't let him hurt by my selfishness.
I don't want to lose another person in my life. It seems like he ignored my commands, so I ran away from him, but he followed me.
“Sammy! There's a burning plank!” I didn't hear him, all of a sudden, a burning plank dropped at my leg, and I immediately fell from the small staircase.
I can see my skin, it's burning, my eyes widened, and that makes me to unable to move, or speak.
“Sammy!” He ran to me, and he removed the burning plank that makes me be stuck. I looked at him while remaining silent.
“Why are you doing this to me? Go away.” He didn't respond, instead, he keeps helping me, and he puts a piece of cloth on my skin.
“Let's go, we're going outside.” He helped me to stand up, and he puts my arm on his shoulder, and he puts his right arm around my waist.
“Can you walk? I can carry you if you can't walk,” he asked while looking at my eyes. My heart began to beat like a drum.
I looked at the ground because my parents appeared in my sight. I miss them already, we reached the door.
However, something horrible happened, the jar fell onto his head, and this makes him bleed.
“Wait, my necklace, it's from my parents, they gave me the necklace since I was young, I need it. Let me find it—” I know it sounds foolish, but I want to find it.
“Let me find it, instead, go to Zoe, and stay beside her, until the rescuer arrives, understand? Please, don't be stubborn.” I nodded.
He slowly puts me down, and he went inside. After five minutes, he didn't go outside so I began to worry.
My eyes widened when a familiar face appeared in this place, “Where's Zhian?” he cursed, and run immediately went inside, and search for Zhian.
As a result of that, the next thing that happened marked the day of the most unexpected, and gloomy day, when I saw him unconscious with blood, carried by his father that has a long metal stabbed horizontally on his body.
His father slowly puts him down, and all of a sudden, his father lost his consciousness.
