WHY

"THE ROADS HAVE BEEN ALTERED SO MUCH" I THOUGHT . TWO YEARS HAVE PASSED SINCE I LAST CAME HOME . I BOOKED A CAB TO GO TO MY HOUSE . I WAS SO EXCITED TO MEET EMMA . SHE MUST HAVE HAD CHANGED SO MUCH , I THOUGHT .

"EXCUSE ME . IS THIS THE CORRECT WAY?" I ASKED TO THE TAXI  DRIVER .

"YES MADAM . YOU CAN CHECK IT IN THE GOOGLE MAP" HE REPLIED .

"OH OKAY ." I SAID .

"I THINK YOU ARE NEW HERE" HE ASKED .

"NO NO . ACTUALLY I WAS OUT OF TOWN FOR TWO YEARS FOR MY HIGHER STUDIES . SO I JUST GOT CONFUSED . MY SISTER LIVES HERE ". I SAID AND SMILED . HE JUST SMILED BACK . "WEIRDDD" I THOUGHT .

SO AFTER A BIT OF CONFUSION AND EXCITMENT I REACHED HOME . I PAID THE MONEY AND WAS ABOUT TO ENTER THE HOUSE WHEN TWO OFFICERS STOPPED ME .

"EXCUSE ME . YOU CAN'T GET IN HERE" ONE OF THEM SAID .

"BUT WHY CAN'T I GET INTO MY OWN HOUSE " I ASKED .

"ARE YOU MISS.SOPHIA LOCKWOOOD?" THE OTHER OFFICER ASKED .

"YES , BUT CAN ANYONE EXPLAIN WHAT'S GOING ON HERE ? . WHERE IS MY SISTER ?" I ASKED .

"FOLLOW US" THEY SAID .
THEY OPENED THE DOOR TO THE HOUSE .

I ENTERED AND WAS STUNNED TO SEE THE WHOLE HOUSE SEALED WITH A YELLOW TAPE WHICH HAD "CRIME BRANCH" WRITTEN ON IT . THEY TOOK ME UPSTAIRS TO EMMA'S ROOM . THERE WERE BLOOD STAINS ON EMMA'S BED . NOW I WAS REALLY TENSED .

"WHAT THE HECK!! . NOW CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHAT IS GOING ON AND WHERE IS EMMA ?" I YELLED .

A SENIOR POLICE OFFICER SPOKE  "SOPHIA LOCKWOOD , HERE YOU ARE . WE WERE LOOKING FOR YOU . I AM REALLY SORRY TO SAY THAT YOUR SISTER EMMA LOCKWOOD HAS COMMITTED SUICIDE BY JUMPING FROM THE TERRACE OF YOUR HOUSE . SHE IS NOT DEAD BUT.."

"BUT WHAT ?" I CRIED .

"BUT NOW SHE IS IN A COMA" HE COMPLETED .

"SHIT..SHIT..SHITT.NO NO NO . THIS IS NOT TRUE . "I CRIED . "SHE IS JUST SIXTEEN . NO THIS CAN'T HAPPEN . " I YELLED .

A LADY OFFICER BROUGHT ME SOME WATER BUT I THREW IT AWAY .

"WHERE IS SHE NOW ?" I ASKED
WITH MY THROAT ALL DRIED UP .

"LENOX HILL HOSPITAL" THE OFFICER REPLIED . "DON'T WORRY MISS . WE WILL TAKE YOU THERE" HE SAID .

SO WE QUICKLY SAT IN THE CAR AND HEADED TOWARDS THE HOSPITAL . I WAS PRAYING THE WHOLE WAY FOR MY SWEETIE .

WE REACHED THE HOSPITAL AND QUICKLY WENT TO THE NURSE WE FIRST SAW.

"HOW CAN I HELP YOU" SHE ASKED .

"UMM .. WHERE IS EM.. MA..LO" I COULDN'T COMPLETE . MY FACE WAS COVERED WITH TEARS AND MY THROAT WAS ALL DRIED UP . I GASPED FOR AIR .

"EMMA LOCKWOOD ." THE OFFICER COMPLETED . "WHERE IS SHE ?" HE ASKED .

"OH THAT GIRL WHO IS IN THE ICU?. SHE IS IN THE SECOND FLOOR " THE NURSE REPLIED .
