I was sitting under the falling water weeping. Micah had been the one to talk with my two friends and then passed their news on to us.

I don’t know how much my grandparents pay Micah, but they need to pay her a heck of a lot more! In the days to follow Micah pretty much took over the house, taking care of everyone, including me and you know what I mean when I say that right? Grandmother, who at first had been strong, appeared to have run out of strength after the first day and seemed as though she were almost hollow inside whenever I would see her. Grandfather was hardly ever home; if he wasn’t at the hospital visiting those that survived the fire, then he was working and visiting families who had lost loved ones. He would only come home to shower, eat, sleep very little, and then he’d leave again.
