Somewhere in our hearts, like the colorful rainbow that comes after a fetal rain this bridge stands to restore.

Sapphire's pov

There's no point with me staying home i better just stay somewhere away from here.

I run out with tears flowing from my eyes i don't know where to go. Unknown to me my direction or path to follow.

The scent of fresh air on the nicely decorated bridge of Washington might help ease the pain or so.

All the memories flash back .. How my dad died i was only 10 years old.. ...

8 years ago.

I lay in bed trying to fall asleep.. I didn't want to hear mom and dad argue, especially since mom always complains about me and how much of a spoilt brat she thinks i am.

I shut my eyes tight forcing myself to fall asleep, and then I hear noises coming from the sitting room and i decide to check up on them and silently peek through the door leading to the sitting room.

I can see mom yelling at dad.

"Clinton you shouldn't have borrowed money from those people it could be dangerous for us if we cant pay back"

Dad looks stressed up

" Tessa i know but we have to think of our daughter. We need to think of her tuition, for school. I want to be able to put her through school, I want to her to be a graduate and to have a decent future.. Its all for her sake.. And the mediocre salary i earn from my job wont do all that we barely have enough to eat".

Mom yells at him.

" it's always about sapph our daughter your always considerate and always thinking of her sometimes i stop to wonder if i wasn't pregnant, you wouldn't have been with me maybe you and i wouldn't be together".

"Tessa don't talk that way of course i love you and our daughter you both are my life and that's why sometimes i have to do what i do for you guys to be comfortable. If its about the money I'll get more jobs and save up i'm going to pay them back but all i just need is some more time"

"Goddamn it more time? They are already on our necks , they are threatening us if we don't pay them back those people are dangerous you shouldn't have borrowed money from them now what are we going to do?"

They keep on yelling at each other and i feel guilty because I'm part of the reason they argue.

I hear knocks on the door and mom goes to get the door. I'm still peeping through my room door, and i see huge men about a number of four barge in with masks on their face, but i see one with a bold tattoo drawn on one of his hands and he was holding a gun on the other .

He had a very deep voice.

"Mr Clinton the boss is very angry with you and he doesn't like it when people don't keep to their promises you haven't paid your debt and we don't like that its been a month now"

I could see my dad pleading to them.

"please just a little more time and ill be able to pay you i promise i will"

Dad tries pleading but they don't look convinced.

"man, your time is up i guess we have been generous enough and when one owes the boss you know the consequences".

I could see mom shedding tears and the man cocking his gun at dad's forehead and i hear the sound of a bullet.

Tears run down from my eyes as i see my dad fall to the floor his blood all over the place while the huge men run out of the house so they wont get caught..

I run down to the sitting room crying and shouting at my dad..

"Dad wake up you promised you'd always be with me you promised you and i would do all the fun things together who is going to read my bed time stories to me"

I wanted him to wake up and smile at me again, i wished this was all a dream a very bad dream that i'd wake up from.

Tears fall from my eyes as i yell out his name, mom was crying and wailing out Dad's name i knew this was a great loss for her that she might never recover from, and i might never too.

"Dad, Dad wake up".

But he doesn't respond, and at that point i know deep down my dad is dead and he's never coming back....
