to the passing vehicles.
Occasionally she scuffed the gravel sending small rocks tumbling into
the grass.
“Its not fair.”
She muttered, tears welling up in her eyes.
Two days ago her father was hauled away in an
ambulance. It was his heart she
was told. Everything that could be
done was done, but it wasn’t enough.
Now she was on her own at sixteen. Or was she? She felt a presence and looked up. Standing beside her was her parents. They embraced her. She would never really be alone.
