Hi my name is Tirah, I'm 25 years old and I'm from Canada although my parents were born in Australia. Today is the worst day of my life..
This morning I received a call from a stranger saying they found my parents dead in a forest. I was shocked. I got there the fastest way I could. On my way there I called the police. It took me about 30 minutes to get there, when I got there the person who called me wasn't there anymore and when I asked for his name on the call he hung up. Police were already at the crime scene before I got there. Ambulances were there and they rushed my parents to the hospital.
We arrived at the hospital, they hurried to get my parents to the Emergency room. I was waiting outside desperate and heartbroken...
I never imagined I could be in this situation, I wish it was me and not my parents!. Only 15 minutes had passed when the doctor came out to tell me they have passed away.
I felt like my world had ended and I was trapped inside a dark shadow.
The next day it was my parents funeral, I decided not to cry because if my parents were alive and saw me crying they would feel upset.
When I got home after the funeral, I was so depressed I started throwing things to the floor. I found a note that I belive my parents wrote before they passed away saying " Hi Tirah, this is mom. I hope you are doing well!! Remember I'm watching over you, so don't ever feel lonely. I just wish you moved with Jay...your chilhood friend. His address is on the bottom of this note. Please don't feel sad or mommy will worry :( I'm here ok? Watching you. Please remember to turn off the lights before going to sleep, because mommy won't be there to do that anymore. You are now a grown up who can take care of her self. Also please remember to turn the A.C off before leaving the house so you won't waste too much electricity, I know you always left it on so that we won't feel hot or cold. However, we are not there now so turn it off ok? Have a wonderful life my beautiful daughter mommy loves you. Take care of your self mommy sends you a lot of kisses:Muah. Also daddy says He loves you too and he wants you to be happy or he'll be very upset WE LOVE YOUUUU!!!"
My heart got so touched and my eyes so watery..
I felt like crying my soul out but I had to be brave and bare it because my mom and dad wouldn't like it if I was sad.
A week later I decided to pack my bags and move to a different city. The city I was moving to was the one that my chilhood friend supposedly was to live at. It took me 9 hours by car just to get there. Before I even got to the house I felt a different vibe like if something wasn't right, but I thought it was just the feeling of moving to a new place. Once I got there I saw this big old house made of bricks. I knocked on the door and someone answered "Leave". I was confused but at the same time I needed to let that person know I was looking for them. I shout back "Please open the door it's me Tirah". I heard some loud footsteps approaching the door...
Someone opened the door "Tirah Milluh?" He asked.     "Yes it's me" I answered back.  He hugged me and said "I'm sorry for your lost".
At that moment I wondered how he knew about my parents death when he lived in another city and had zero contact with us. I decided to stay quiet and say nothing as he continued to hug me. But on the inside I felt like something was off just by what he said. I just got here and I don't know how long I'll be here for so I hope nothing happens....
