"Who's Daphne David?" The doctor asked as he walked out of the operating theater, "that would be me sir" a timid voice replied, the doctor scanned her from head to toe, the voice belonged to a girl who was at most 17 to 18 years, short in height with a smooth fair skin dark hair, blue eyes and red lips, she looked naive and helpless that the doctor couldn't help but shake his head in pity before asking, "how are you related to the patient?" "He's my father" her weak voice replied

" Do you not have anymore family members, where's your mum" the doctor inquired

"She... She lives in another town" came her reply... The doctor let out a sigh before saying " this news isn't good for someone of your age, but I'll have to tell you anyway.. your father,,,, he's dead." He dropped the bombshell shocking the little girl "we tried our best but we couldn't save him, am very sorry " He added "please sign theses papers so that he can be transferred to the mortuary" the doctor handed her some paper and left. While the girl stood there motionless, unable to make sense of what had just happened

~Daphe pov~

I just returned from school when I heard that my dad was into an accident so I rushed to the hospital without even changing.. now I got three and am hearing this, my whole world came tumbling down... Dad was my everything... Oh sorry, I forgot to introduce my sorry self to you....

My name is Daphne David, am 18yrs, I live with my dad because my mum is in another state because she cheated on my dad and ran away when she found out that she was pregnant, leaving me alone with him.. My dad is not really the best but he at least Loved and provided for me.. he's a construction worker, although he gambles and gets drunk atimes he has never let anything bad happen to me, I grew up with him.. but now that he's gone where would I go to... Is not like I don't have where to go I just don't want to go there.. my mom's place at New Land's but I just don't want to stay with that hypocritical woman, she's so fake that I get disgusted just looking at her... But I had no choice..

My dad's burial was small and simple, my mum was there too, with her daughter Stella, who is 2 years younger than me, both are the same... Fake life....

When the burial was done my mum walked up to me and said in her hypocritical voice " Oh... Daphne, my baby.. how are you feeling, even I myself am in shock, I didn't expect him to die like that," she said wiping her fake tears "what are you going to do now.. you can't stay alone,,,, how about you move in with mum huh.. we'll just live together, you me and your sister like a happy family we were meant to be,, you get over him in no time hmm... What do you think darling " she asked smiling kindly, while Stella peeked at me from her mum's back, smiling too, I was already getting disgusted by their act, I mean it's obvious they need a new house girl, so I seemed to be the perfect candidate... But then again they were right, I couldn't live alone, and even if I wanted to, our house rent will be due by the next month, so how am I going to pay,

I guess I have no choice in the matter. So I smiled slightly and nodded my head slowly, she smiled widely when I did that and said "good good, that's my girl, so now let's go and pack up, we can't be mourning him forever,I'll book our flight tickets by tomorrow we fly off to your new home... I'll even get you transfered to your sister's school there okay " I just watched her quietly while she kept blabbering on and on...

At the end I got up and packed my clothes and other important stuff that I'll need, I didn't have much things just a few hoodies, geans, 2 or so gowns and 2 skirts.. then one sneakers one palm. Am not a makeup doer either so I was done packing in 30mins...

I slept off thinking about how my miserable life would be from now on with my mum and younger sis in the picture.....
