My mom is the moon.

by Dimond Rainbow

When Life gives you lemons,

I wasn't doing anything wrong, I was just driving home from college.

Yeah, ok, I lived in a kinda trashy home, but it was fine for myself and my girlfriend, Ada.

I never even saw the Semi turn the corner and slam into me, until my car was flying through the air, flipping over at least ten times. If I could have, I would have screamed, but I didn't get the pleasure as my baby blue sedan lit ablaze, in burning hot flames they consumed me.

Normal POV temporarily

The fire department tried, but the sedan was roasted to a crisp, there was hardly any frame left to it from the heat of the blaze, and all that the recovery crew found; was the charred remains of a box, which had been in what used to be the glove box.

"We're sorry for you loss miss." One of the men said to Ada, who just stared at the blackened box with shaky tear filled eyes. Their words meant nothing to the grieving woman, she had just lost her word, her everything, her Diamond. And yet the man who crashed into her had left with a few scrapes and bruises.

It just wasn't fair, it... It was unjust.

Sitting in her purple mini Honda van, Ada's fingers hovered over her girlfriends parents number, she could call them, tell them that their was nothing left of her, but her mother never really cared, all that mattered was her music career. Her Father, John, Ada knew kindly, despite being an attorney, when he and his wife split, he took care of Diamant, and gave her all she wanted, even after he remarried.

But, Ada paused, she could do that later, she wanted to know what was in that box, that now rested in her lap.
Carefully she opened the box, her breath catching in her throat, tears pooling in her eyes, and heart seizing with emotions.
Inside the charred box, was an ornate ring, with amethysts surrounding a ruby in the center, and inside the band she could barely make out the words, "With forever love, Diamant" In fancy writing.

She couldn't believe it, Diamant was going to propose.

The auburn haired woman choked on a sob, her hands trembling violently as she held the box, tears blurring her vision and burning down her cheeks.

After half an hour of persistent tears, Ada gained enough control of her emotions and dialed John's phone number.

One ring.

Two rings.

Three rings.

He answered: "Hey Ada, how are you?"

His tone was so, light hearted and nonchalant. The young woman could barely muster enough courage to tell him what she was about to tell him.

"H-hi J...John... There's something I need to tell you..." She choked out, sniffling back the remaining tears as she toyed with the ring. Good news or bad news first?

"Ok, shoot." He chirped, most likely reclining back in his office chair, propping his feet up on the cherry desk that Diamant used to play under as a child.

"Well... Diamant, she.... she proposed..." Good news first, she could wait to deliver the shocking blow, just a little longer, to be part of a real family, not an outcast, just for a few minutes more. A mournful smile tugged at her lips as she slipped the ring on her finger, the last piece of her lover, it fit perfectly.

He yelled over the phone line in joy, causing Ada to remove the phone from his ear. She could hear him celebrating, and the mumbling curses as his chair no doubt tipped over.

"But... John... th.… there has been... an... accident..." Ada choked, more hot tears beginning to roll down her already tear stained red cheeks.

His celebration was halted, and he no doubt took the phone off speaker by the sound of the clicks. "What happened?" John's tone was dead serious, he could congratulate his girls later, right now, he needed to know what had happened.

"There.... there was a... a car crash... Diamant... her car exploded... she... she's...." Ada couldn't, her resolve crumbled, and she let out powerful sobs, covering her mouth with her left hand, the phone slipped from her grasp and clattered under her feet.

John stayed silent, his world froze, he didn't question it, he knew Ada better, she would never lie about something like this, sure she could act, but not this good, and she would never, not about something like this.

Sitting on his office floor, he ran his hands through his graying hair, that no doubt had just lost a few shades. His daughter's laughter echoed in his ears, her beaming smile flashing across his closed eyes, those shining blue eyes as they sparkled as she told him, 'I love you daddy!' when she was five, tears began to glide from his grey eyes as he let the news wash over him, Ada's sobs making up the only noise he heard.

Together, they both sat there, grieving.

That bright smiling blonde that meant the world to both of them, torn from them in an instant.

She was gone, never to come back.

"So, you ain't gonna dump us now are you Ada?" John croaked, all moisture gone from his mouth, his body lacking all strength.

Ada laughed dryly, wiping away the tears that still spilled from her cheeks with her purple painted digits. "As long as you still want me, I guess I can stay..."

My POV

---

I stared up at the sky, it was so bright, so blue. The grass tickled against my bare skin, whispering hidden secrets in my ear.

So, is this what heaven is like?

I could hear laughter in the distance, but I was so comfortable, I didn't move. The ground beneath me was cool, and the sun that was placed away from my line of vision was warm, covering me like a blanket.

I closed my sky blue eyes and let slumber overtake me, it was peaceful, serene.

Author's Note:

I'm trying my hand at one of these stories, and in case you didn't catch it earlier or aren't fluint in german like me. Daimant means Diamond.

Our main charater's name is Daimant hört auf which translates to Diamond Heartsong. An oc of mine, but who else's would she be?
