"Please...please...."

(Alarm)

"AHH!"

"Lana! Are you okay?! You were screaming!"

"I'm okay Jenny just a nightmare."

Or a memory. I still can't get the blood out of my head. I screamed for what felt for hours and yet no one came to my rescue. Not my father, not Jenny no one. That's what made me the person I am today. Dad said it was a robbery intact. But I don't believe him, after all he's killed more people than I can count.

"I miss her. Jenny."

"I know Lana. We just have to get through the day- without her."

Wow it's gloomy outside. Gee happy birthday Lana.

"Have you talked Kan ?"

"Lana you know Kan doesn't talk to us anymore."

Mhm. I miss him too. My older brother even left me.

God. Why me.

"You know you should stop taking naps in the middle of the day."

Yeah right.

"Do we have to do the whole party thing tonight?"

"Yes Lana even if it is, the anniversary."

My moms death anniversary. On my birthday.

"Go get ready Lana."

Ugh I have nothing to wear anyway, except.

No. Nope. Nada.

Uh I don't have a choice here goes nothing.

I kinda look nice even though the dress is pink.

I should get going, don't wanna be late I guess.

"oh you look beautiful, Lana"

"Thanks jenny."

"That was your mother's dress on her seventeenth birthday."

"It's beautiful. Thank you Jenny."

I never liked hugs but Jenny didn't care because she hugged me like there was no tomorrow. Even thought I could see she was crying.

She tried to hide it but I knew she was.

She was crying or her dead sister. And my dead mother.

"Let's get this over with."

After I say that Jenny gets the car keys.

Here we go.
