Instant Parents

Prologue
Doesn't it always happen like this?

You think your life is awesome.

That nothing can bring you down.

That for once, you have everything you could have ever wanted.

And as a bonus, no parents around for two weeks to tell you what to do!

That's when something unimaginable happens and you have no clue what to do.

Because no parents around for two weeks to advise you.

I want to blame Ciara for this, but I can't. She didn't do this.

I believe her when she said she had no idea how that thing had appeared.

But I sort of blame her for not running when she had the chance.

I also blame myself for not leaving her behind.

The logical thing to do would have been to get help.

But I didn't, and we were swallowed up by the light.

I blacked out.

When I came to, I was alone.

Ciara was nowhere to be seen.

But I turned my head to see my mother sitting next to me.

The main problem with that?

She was my age.

Uh oh.
