Not your average girl

Ever since I got to school this morning , I have been feeling anxious. like something was not right. I made my way to my locker when I heard Dash "hey sweet cheeks!" he made his way over and gave me a quick peck on the forehead. my best and only friend, our parents are friend and we basically grew up with each other. also he happens to be one of the most popular boys in school. I always got annoyed at how all the girls flirted and threw themselves at him. Did I mention he is also a part of the football team , so he is fit with muscles. has black messy hair with hazel green eyes with the most annoyingly cute dimples. Just as I grab my books from my locker I here stephanie's high pitch voice "Hey there sexy, when are you gonna take me out on a second date?, or we can hang out at my place after school." Dash turned to face, "I don't know maybe some other time, I have the game today and me and Ren are hitting up dave's dinner after." Stephanie rolled her eyes at me and sashayed away. " we need to get to class and stop calling me sweet cheeks at school , dimples." I glared at him. I was given that name by him since we were in middle school. I have always been a little bit thicker. I am shaped like an hour glass. big on top and bottom, with a smaller waist. I have dark brown hair and brown eyes, that I hide behind my baggy clothes and black frame glasses. no boyfriend or love interest , I spend my time reading, playing the drums and hanging out with dash. when he isn't on one of his many dates or playing football. today was our first game of the season. I was nervous it being our first game and I did not want to embarrass myself in front of the school. I am no cheerleader ! in case you were wondering. It was our first performance for the game I was so nervous I play the percussion, fancy word for drum. unfortunately for me they never made it to the game, I was waiting at school for them with my best friend Dash Thompson, When sheriff Stephen Thompson dash's dad pulled out front. "hey dad we are just waiting on Rene's parents , she hasn't been able to reach them."he informed his father. At that moment I saw sheriff Thompson approach me as if with caution and when he made eye contact with me. I felt a heaviness in my chest , and I knew something was not right. "kiddo I need you to come down to the hospital with me, I am so sorry to have to tell you honey but your parents where in an accident while they were on the way here." with the sheriffs word I loss the feeling in my legs and began to loose my footing. Dash grabbed a hold of me quick and held me close to him. "I got her dad, lets go." dash was helping me in to the vehicle . the drive over to the hospital felt like hours, even though we arrived within 20 minutes. The sheriff , dash and I , waited in the lobby waiting for news form the doctor on my parents status. they had been rushed to emergency surgery and that is all they had informed us. Hours later now being 4 in the morning, we were being greeted by doctor Robins. Mr Thompson approached the doctor , while I stayed sitting and in Dash's arms. "Sheriff Thompson, I have been the one attending both Mr and Mrs Mathews. we tried our best but unfortunately We were unable to save them, I am sorry for your loss Ms. Mathews." he softly said. I began to sob uncontrollably in to Dash's chest. he held on to me and comforted me as best he could. "Rene you will be staying with us, until we figure something out, now lets get you out of here." Mr.Thompson said while he helped dash take me to the car. Mr. Thompson believed it best for me not to see them not tonight at least. That night I slept in Dash's arms, and in the morning he took me to my house so that I can shower and change. It no longer felt like home, with out them there, it felt empty and I could not bare it. After I showered and changed I made my way to the living room where dash was sitting. I no longer feel the need to cry and felt numb. Dash motioned for me to sit with him and I did. I was letting him comfort me, he was my person. Later that evening Mr. Thompson arrived with my aunt Jenny , she had blood shot eyes from the crying and looked horrible. As soon as she saw me, she ran to hold me and cried. "My jelly bean , I am so sorry , everything will be ok . I am here with you now." she mumbled out with her sobs. I did not respond I just let her hold me until Mr. Tompson spoke. "I think it is best we let you ladies rest, me and dash will be back in the morning." he motioned for dash to leave. My aunt jenny thanked him and said she needed to make some calls . I could not let Dash leave, I needed him. "please Mr. Thompson can Dash please stay with me, I need him. " I said out with pleading eyes. Mr. Thompson let him stay that night and every night. until after my parents funeral . it was as expected every one giving their condolences, asking how I was? and hearing them reminisce about my parents. became to much so I decided to avoid them all in my room. after every one was gone my aunt left to town and said she needed to sort some things out. That dash would be here to stay with me until she came back. She had already told me the night before that we would be moving and staying with her in California. I laid on my bed thinking of the events, and loosing everything in a short time. now I would also be losing my best friend my person. why me?
