since last month and had no idea why he would be contacting her now at the end of summer. Someone had killed her parents while she was at the park with Diego. There was a car accident and they died leaving Aaron to be the one to tell her. 
     
    He had called and was waiting at her doorstep when Diego drove her home. Ginger was too stunned to react. Time seemed to move slowly as she sat there processing the words she was just told. She felt powerless that the car wasn’t getting there faster.
     
    Once they got to her house Hannah and Frost were there and she had no idea how they got word. Frost probably saw Aaron outside her house but had no idea how Hannah found out and got here so fast.  
     
    Hannah asked, “Are you ok”?
    Ginger responded, “God no”.
     
    Hannah held her as Ginger felt her disbelief and shock melt away. Fr ost was cleaning the kitchen while she spoke to Aaron. Diego was close by protecting her and making sure nothing was amiss around the house. His phone went off so he excused himself to answer it and moments later Aaron was talking to a woman name Yvette before joining everyone in the dining room. Ginger sat there numb to the facts she was alone in the world. He left his business card again in case she needed to contact him.
     
    Hannah saw him out and went home to get a few things. She was planning on staying by her side into she finally fell asleep. This couldn’t be happening and Ginger couldn’t imagine how she would make it through the funerals. The next couple of days were a blur filled with plans for the funerals. Attending to the wills and talking to lawyers.
     
    Frost and Hannah took care of most of the arrangements. Honestly Ginger couldn’t remember the funerals which considering right now was a good thing. She had no idea if everybody came or was notified but would have her entire life to mourn their loses and be contacted by various friends and acquaints. Fall started but she was unable to go back to school.
     
    A few days later she was finally able to catch her breath and not be bothered with her concerned friends. They were babying her when Ginger started training with Diego again to distract herself. 
     
    Hannah moved back home but visited each day to let her know she wasn’t alone and bring flowers all through fall. Frost took care of her bills or well the house and running of the daily tasks. 
     
    Diego said, “You aren’t safe and if someone killed your parents it stands to reason you are next”.
    Ginger responds, “We can talk about this later”.
     
    Diego sighs. This made sense and didn’t frighten her in the least because Ginger wanted revenge. She looked at him felt his worry but couldn’t stop herself from saying how she felt.  
     
    Ginger says, “I love you but I won’t hide behind anyone else. My parents raised me to fight so I am not running away”.
      Diego took her hands held her gaze, “Fine sweetheart. I’ll stand by your decision”.
     
    Ginger felt her heart began to beat rapidly. His proximity always brought a flush to her face and Diego said he would protect her even if that meant from herself.
     
    She nodded her head, “Fine. I trust your advice”.
    Diego smiled, “You should pack a bag because I won’t let anything happen to you”.
    Ginger replies, “In a second, I need to catch my breath”.
    Diego says, “We will only be away for a couple of weeks”.
     
    Diego said that but she was reluctant even though she trusted him and packed a few things in an overnight bag. She filled her backpack up with a few essentials including her journal and two empty notebooks in case she felt the urge to write. Once he told Frost and Hannah they’d be gone she hugged them bye. Diego said a few weeks but this felt like goodbye to her old life and everything she knew.

    Diego gave Frost the keys to the house and told him, “Please take care of
