Francine dug in her purse for the cellphone and dialed up her mother and father's home residence. Not many people had a home phone these days, but many of the older people seemed to not be able to let go. **"Hey mom, Ferra and I are on our way over. Yep. Thanks. See you soon!"** she hung up the phone and placed it in the cup holder. *"Did you call Amy's parents?"* Ferra asked, obviously not paying attention to what was going on, too engrossed in her tablet game. **"I told you I'd call when we got to papa and mema's house, didn't I?"** Francine said, taking her hand off the steering wheel and over to tickle her daughter. **"Listen to me sometime huh!?"** she teased, her hand rummaging around her daughter's side. 

*"Mommy, quit it!"* she squealed, her tablet escaping from her hands and falling onto the floor. As the tickling came to a stop, Ferra unbuckled her seat belt so she could reach the tablet on the ground. It was then what seemed like a flash of light, Francine pressed the brakes as hard as she could. Their windshield was broken, covered with blood. **"Fuck."** Francine cursed, wondering what she hit. **"Stay here Ferra."** she said, hopping out the car and going to check on what had happened. Before her lay the body of a young woman, tangled by the mass of their SUV. Francine began to sob, not quite sure what to feel or do. **"Call the police!"** she yelled, **"Help me!"** she screamed to any watching or listening person. 

Going back to the car she instantly reached for the phone in the cup holder only to be stopped by the sight of her daughter crumbled into a lifeless pile on the floor of the passenger side. Her energetic ball of sunshine was now a  cold boulder. The impact of her petite body hitting the airbag, and her head slamming against the door's window a fatal blow. Francine collapsed instantly, her knees buckling under the weight of the sorrow inside. She wailed, and wailed in tune to the incoming police sirens.

Meanwhile, Amy dressed in her most fanciest dress- excited to surprise her one and only friend at the dance recital. The same one that would be canceled until further notice.
