Week 7- Story Series Starts - Reawakend Part 1

*The following is the start of a story series not a real-life story*
Layla-
I remembered the day they told us. The flashing lights and deafening ring of the sirens. The call from the hospital in the middle of the night. The official to inform us. The moment where two teens were expected to raise their siblings. To think that a few hours ago our lives were fine and normal. The words "I'm sorry" was not needed. They were gone both and each of our parents. At that moment I broke down, for the words gone seemed so distant but sudden. At that moment I saw the hurt in Jay's eyes for the thought of explaining the loss of his own parents to his little brother Eli. How was I going to explain it to Eva? How were we going to explain it? At that moment we both lost our parents, his and mine at the same time. Timing was against us. The world seemed against us as we all cried ourselves asleep. Staying at Jay's house brought a painful comfort as did it did the same for Jay and Eli staying at our house from time to time. This place felt empty- my home and Jay's filled with painful joy and joyful pain. The memories were just memories now. The day we thought they were just late coming home turned out to be more than we thought. The days we wanted to disappear but couldn't.We had no answers why it happened when it happened.We had no solution how to make it financially only being teens. We had no family to lean back on. Just ourselves.
That is until a solution was found. Until we were found.
