Emily POV

I got a call as soon as I arrive at the school, usually my little brother be here by now. Anyway my phone is ringing and I have a bad feeling about this. My hand shakes as I answer the phone.

"Hello? Is this Emily Long? The sister of Leo Hearts?" - the other side of the phone

"Yes, this is Emily. May I ask what your calling for." - Emily

"This is the hospital, we're calling the relatives of Leo to let them know he was in a accident." - nurse

"Wait, what's wrong with Leo." - Emily

"It might be hard for you but, he had a beam hit him and the chain to the wrecking ball then crashed into his lower body. I'm sorry but he was no longer-" - nurse 

"It's got to be a lie Leo was on his way to school he should be almost here." - Emily

I collapsed next to my car door while I drop my phone and sob. Why did I try to deny it? I had the same feelings when I was 6 years old just before my father was in that so called 'car accident' but I knew that my dad was shot and called by other mafias. I had cried for months on end because of that, The me then knew that he was mafia boss too, I just didn't care cause father never mixed us up with his business life. The feeling of dread hits me hard, if I knew this before Leo went out the door I could've stopped him. But this time my gut feeling was later than usual. Leo was just 16, he should still be alive and living well. Why does this keep happening to me, first my father. Then my mother was in a bomb incident where she was taken hostage now this. Am I cursed to not have a loved one.

I shakily stand up and go to my phone that I dropped I then dial my step father's number. He was at the office when he answered and I explained about the call I got from the hospital. He seemed sad but he tried to cheer me up and I told him I was going to check the hospital that they took Leo to. Everything after that was fuzzy and before I knew it was standing at his funeral. His three childhood friends were crying. The red messy haired boy in a black suit was Johan. While the one in a black plain dress with brown hair tailed up in a pony tail was Ginger. The black long hair until her waist is Kimmy, she was Leo's girlfriend. I heard they finally got together 3 month ago after being awkward for years. Like come on she's quiet and shy but still what took him so long to confess since he liked her since they were kids. When thinking that I sigh as Kimmy ran up to me. 

"(Slap) How could you not prevent him from going out today!" - Kimmy

"So what does that justify your actions of hitting me his own sister." - Emily

"Your a fake anyway since your only his step sister. Why couldn't you distance yourself from your cursed self." Kimmy

"Kimmy calm yourself down please. Emily is having a hard time too." - Ginger

"You know Ginge is right Kimmy. No one is to blame for a accident." - Johan

"What now your all blaming this witch that can't even control who dies around her." - Kimmy

I watched stunned as she left the funeral in a fit of rage. I never wanted this. I too cared about Leo, I haven't even recovered completely from my mom's incident. It was just 6 months ago too. If anything I'm tired of fate playing with me. I couldn't even argue against my brother's girlfriend. Maybe she is right, I'm cursed. I wish there was a way to undo this or to meet Leo again and apologize for getting him involved. 

"You ok Emily?" - father (step father, Leo's dad)

"I'm ok. Maybe this is my fault because my bad luck." - Emily

"There's no such thing as curse or bad luck like that. It depends on who the person is and where they were at the time." 

I blinked at father since he sounded like he knew something more. I stared at him confused.
