THE GAME

INTRODUCTION

The kid stood infront of her doorframe as she stares as her mother preparimng her stuff.

"Mom?" She calls her mom's attention while holding her cute brown teddy bear dressed like a ballerina, with a big ribbon behind it. As soon as her mother hears her voice, she stops at the moment to look at her.

"Hey sweetie."

"Why are you moving my stuff out?" She asks as she decided to approach her mom, not really getting the reason about her actions. Her mom soon takes a sit on the floor as she held her daughter's hands, squeezing it tightly and giving it a light squeeze.

"Honey, we've talked about this, right?"

"u-huh"

"Then why don't you just help mommy with your things so we could travel now? Didn't you said that you wanted ice cream while we drive to the airport?" her mood immediately switched as her eyes starts to have glitters of excitement and happiness.

"Yay Ice Cream!"

"Don't worry, we will have that Ice cream for you."

"Can I have two? Cookies 'n' Cream and then... uhm, what is that other flavor again, mom?"

"Was it mango or avocado?"

"Yes that's the flavor! Avocado! Mommy, you'll buy me those two flavors in one cone, right?"

"Yes I will."

"But dad might get mad. He'll tell me I won't be able to finish it and it will make me feel gulty because of the kids not eating anything and i'm just gonna watse them-"

"Who said I'm that mad?" She was a bit surprised to realize that her dad just came inside her room.

"Daddy! Mom started it!" She said, pinpointing her mom. Her mom chuckles, placing the last item inside the box. Her dad sat next to her as his smile never fades.

"I heard everything sweetie so, no need to lie about it." He said, making her a bit guilty of her actions.

"I just don't want to feel like I'm wasting everything dad. I just want to eat two scoops of ice cream because i really like Ice cream." She also admitted, making her dad pout. he then look at his wife, giving her 'the look.' He sighs, wanting to make his daughter feel any better.

"Okay, you can have at least two scoops of ice cream-"

"Yay! Thank you dad! You're the best!"

"Honey look out!"

Tires screeching, world turning, glass shattering, heart racing, blood dripping... Everything went downhil in just a split second, sacrificing the freedom to choose between life and death.

"News just in: A family of three had been hurt on a collision on Hollywod Boulevard just this morning, exactly nine twenty-o-five. 

Police said the car, a Mitsubishi Outlander, was abandoned before the driver fled on foot.

The whole family was immediately given attention after a resident who happens to pass by saw what happened.

"It was really quick and at first you would sink it all in beofre realizing that it really happened."

The suspect hasn't been arrested yet but the police are doing everything they can to put the suspect in jail.

"Mom, dad?" The kid asks, not knowing where she is. Her vision is still blurry, but just by seeing the lmoving light and feeling a lot of pair of hands touching her makes her realize she's not in their own car anymore?

"Just hang in there, kid. Just don't give up on us. Keep your eyes open."

"Do you hear me?"

"Sweetie, I want you to stay awake for me."

"She's dropping off, doctor."

.

.

.

All she could hear is a rustling sound, a bunch of footsteps and a her heart beating slowly and slowly. She could envision a lot of faces, panic already plastered on their faces.

.

.

.

"Don't give up on us, sweetie. Not yet."
