Prologue: “ I never would of thought that this day would come so soon”....... My name is Isabelle I’m 15 years old and I live in new york city with my dad and my little sister. I never will forget the day when I opened a letter addressed to my father from the army. It read, “ We regret to inform you that private Kelly Riht has passed away. She was severely injured during combat. The vehicle that she was in hit a road bomb and she lost both of her legs. She lost too much blood and we did every thing that we could to save her but by the time she got to the hospital it was too late. We will hold a memorial service at the base then we will deliver her body to your selected funeral home.” I was so shocked I couldn't even cry.
“ She was a great mother who risked her life and every thing she had for her country”......... I ran inside to hand the letter to my father. When he finished reading it he fell to the floor and cried.

Chapter one



CH. 1
That day was three years ago today. It was very depressing and brought back memories I did not want to relive. I didn’t go to school today because i was crying all this morning thinking about her. All of a sudden I heard a knock.
“Come in!” I said. I wonder who that could be my dad is probably shut up in his bedroom he hates when people see him cry. And to my surprise Maddie walks in.
“Hey I didn't see you at school today so i asked your dad if I could come over. Are you ok?”
“Oh. Hi, Maddie and no honestly. I miss her a lot” Maddie has been my best friend since fourth grade. We do everything together. She wallked over and wrappe her arms around me.
“Don’t worry everything will get better eventually. And speaking of getting better Lily and i want to know if you will come with us to the one direction concert?” Lily is also one of my best friends. We've been friends since 3rd grade.
“Um I don’t know if I should leave my dad.” I said “ its been a pretty rough day”
“ Oh don’t worry about that my mom is going to come over and keep him company!” Maddie said with a huge smile on her face. My dad has a thing for her mom and Maddie said that her mom likes him. So it’s sorta a win win situation.
“Oh ok then. I might as well go” I said reluctantly.
“Yay!!” She smiled. I walked into my closet and took out 3 different outfits.
“So witch outfit should I wear to the concert?” Im a very indecisive person.
“ Ooh you should wear the striped shirt with the shorts” Maddie has always been good at helping me pick out clothes. “ Ok thanks. I will meet you at your house then?”
“ Yup, make sure to be there by 4:00 o’clock and no later!” she says laughing.
“ Ok i will! See you latter ” I said with a grin on my face. I think thats the first time I have smiled all day.
“Yup” She walks out the door with out another word. I don’t even know if I want to go to this concert. Today was suppose to be a mournful day filled with sorrow. Maybe it will cheer me up. I walk into my bathroom to take a quick shower. I step out of my bathroom my little sister Isabelle is sitting on my bed. My poor sister barley knew my mother. Isabelle was only 2 and 1/2 when she died.
“Sissy why hasn't daddy come out of his room yet?” she asked looking so innocent. I cant believe my mother will never get to see her grow up. When she was three almost four years old she called me mommy instead of sissy. I am more of a mother to her than i am a sister. I start to tear up at this.
“Sissy why are you crying?? She said as she is clueless of what today is.
“Do you remember mommy?” I asked hoping she did.
“ You're my mommy.” she said smiling. I smiled back at her even though the thought of this hurt me.
“ No honey i’m not mommy i’m your sister.” she looked astonished at the idea of this. I walked into my closet again and got out the photo album. i flipped to the picture that had all of us in it.
“you see that women holding a baby?” I asked her.
“uh huh” she said in the cutest way possible.
“well that is our mommy and the baby she is holding is you.” Im just hoping that she doesn't ask where mom is because then i will have to explain.
“So where is mommy?” I knew she was going to ask that.
“well mommy used to be in the army and she got into an accident. She was very sick so she went to heaven.” i hope that didn't come out to harsh for a five year old.
