complete the process , and so that he could be there when she woke a s a vampire. No, this wasn't right. Plus, Terrance had always treated my mom like something he cherished, so why would he kill her? Something just wasn't adding up. Terrance couldn't have been the one who kill ed my mom.
I continued to ponder all the possibilities of what could 've happened because there was no way that two puncture wounds to the neck was a normal cause of death. As a matter of fact , I heard them rule it a "freak accident" as they finished up their interrogation and began to clear the scene.
My attention was suddenly snapped into focus as I saw my mom's body being wheeled out the front door in a body bag. My dad quickly grabbed me and forced me to look away.
My mom's life was over, and so was mine. How was I suppose d to live without her ? As the tears started to flow and the authorities finally left us alone, I sank into my dad's embrace. As devastated as I was, listening to him cry over the loss of his wife wa s what pained my heart the most.
After tha t night , everything changed. My dad took a sabbatical from work and pulled me out of school while we tried to process everything. He made funeral arrangements and had meetings with lawyers and insurance people all while insisting that I stayed glued to his side.
It quickly became clear that Mom's death had turned Dad into a scared, over-protective father. The only time I was able to grieve on my own was when it was time for bed o r when I used the restroom. He wouldn 't let me see Christian anymore, and since I practically never left the house without him, I never saw Terrance again either. It had only been a month, but there was no end in sight to what I like d to call my " official lock-down." God, I missed my mom so much.
T he only thing that made me happy was thinking about Christian. We talked on the phone as much as we could, and as harsh as it sounded, th e fact th at we would never have to go through something like this made me happy . I was still devastated that my mom was dead... but I was going to live forever.
