Bella

Bella Richie was a fourteen year old girl who loved family and friends. She belonged to a family of four; her mum, her dad, she and her younger brother.

At that point in time, she was attending Hightower College and was in Grade 11. She had a best friend who went by the name Ricky Hart. He was fifteen and they had been friends since they were three years.

It was all going great in Bella's life until one day; she experienced something tragic. Her mother was in the kitchen making dinner and her younger brother Jace, had been helping.

Mrs. Richie, Bella's mum, forgot her phone in the kitchen earlier that day and so when she lighted the gas cooker and her phone started ringing, she tried to pick the call and there was a huge explosion.

Bella who was just returning from an errand her mum sent her on, saw the smoke and some flames coming out of their apartment. She dropped what she was holding immediately and ran as fast as her legs could carry her. Poor Bella only arrived to see her mother and brother lying dead on the floor.

Two months after her mother and brother had been buried, Bella and her father slowly started to recover from the tragic event. Bella was able to focus in school due to the help of her best friend, Ricky. He was of huge help to her.

Months passed and Bella started to feel better. Her father was driving to work one day and thinking about hus late wife and son when suddenly he lost control of the car and had an accident.

Bella could hold the trauma, she nearly ran mad. She said "My mum, my brother, died in a fire, and now, my dad in an accident!"
