Her last goodbye

It was the day after my grad party. I have 5 siblings and one was in Florida. The 4 of us who were still in Minnesota were heading to our grandparents. A set in Michigan and a set in Florida. I was going to Florida for the summer and the other 3 where going to Michigan. We were all making our rounds to say bye. When it was Kaylas turn to say bye I seen something in her eyes that I didn't know what it was at the time.

4 'o'clock am July 5th, 2022. My grandma gets a call from my Mama. 4:05 am I get waken up. There was a house fire and Kayla is missing. See now that I look back on that day I didn't do what "most" people would've done. I instantly grabbed my phone and opened my life 360 app. I want to know where Kayla was, when I see her phone is dead I tried to keep a level head. I had hope she snuck out like she would do any other night. I see my only brother and the youngest out of us had his phone on him about 3 yards away from the burning house.

Remind you im in Florida when this is happening. I called him and my 2nd youngest sister picks up. I ask if anyone is hurt and she says they are ok and then tells me what is happening the best she can. After that i call some friends there to see if they can help.

5:02 am, an hour later grandma gets another call from mama.... I let the tears fall, they found her..... she's gone. My baby sister who is 16 is gone. All because of a freak lighting storm. As I sat there in tear I realized that looked in her eyes, the day after my grad party was her last goodbye.

This is a really event that happen to me and I need to get it off my chest.
