Friday morning, all I hear in my house is music, I look at my clock and its 9 am; I hear laughter and finally realize that today is my birthday. I've never really liked celebrating my birthday because of the incident with my parents that happened on this "joyful night."
***
It was at about nine or ten o' clock at night. It was cold, raining, and really windy. The day was showing a lot of storm signals, but anyway, I hadn't seen my parents for about an hour after my party was finished, I was wondering what they were doing, so I called. One phone call, two, three, seventeen, and the numbers just kept getting higher. At this point I was getting worried so on the twenty-third call my mom finally answered;
"Hello, mom where are you?"
"Oh Crystal, I was really glad to see you had fun at your party, but then I realized I didn't get you a present, so I'm here at...guess?!"
"Uhh are you at hot topic?"
"Nope, one more try!"
"Uhh Toys r Us?"
We both started laughing.
"No silly, but you wish!"
"Haha mom seriously where are you?"
"I'm here at the box office getting you...wait for it...BRUNO MARS tickets!!"
"AHHHHHHHH!!!!"
After I was done screaming my lungs out, drying my tears, and breathing again I hear my parents laughing.
"THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH! I lOVE YOU!"
"We lo..............."
Silence.

That was the last I heard of their beautiful voices, now every time I think of them my heart breaks all over again. I think of the sound of joy that will never be apart of my life again.
