Better Than You-Diamond Tiara's Story

Chapter Two-How The Tables Turned

For Diamond Tiara's third and second birthday, she was given a heap of presents from her parents, and had a huge party. Diamond Tiara had grinned eagerly at everything.

One day, Golden Shine was driving to the store for Diamond Tiara. As she tried to return to the house, another car hit the side of hers, and she was rushed to the hospital.

Rich and Diamond Tiara waited impatiently for the doctor to tell what if she was okay. Finally, a doctor walked in with a sad look on his face.

"We couldn't save her. She's gone." Rich let out a loud wail, and he fell to the floor with slow, heaving sobs. This made Diamond Tiara upset. She started crying too, although she didn't quite understand what had happened.

When they were driving home, Diamond Tiara asked to Her father, "Daddy? Where's mommy?"

Rich answered quickly and quietly, "She's on a long journey ahead of us."

Diamond was confused, "When is she coming back?"

"She won't. Never." Rich Sighed. He had to let his daughter face the facts. "Mommy.. she's dead. She can't come back. I'm so sorry."

"W-What?!" Diamond Tiara sputtered. She was only 6 at the time, but she could talk pretty well. "But, Mommy..." Her voice trailed off, and she erupted into a wail. She cried through the whole car ride.

  When they got back, Rich tried to calm her down. He placed a hoof on her shoulder and stated calmly, "Death is a natural thing. Death is a part of life. Sometimes you just have to accept it."

Diamond Tiara wrenched away from him. "They didn't do enough to save her! What kind of doctors are they?!" She screeched. "Why couldn't they?!!"

"Honey." Rich attempted put his hoof on her shoulder again, but she flicked at him with her tail.

"They did everything they could. She was too badly injured."

"THEY COULD HAVE SAVED HER! IF ONLY THEY HAD TRIED!" Hot tears ran down Diamond Tiara's face. She couldn't take it. She stomped into her room, and locked the door. In a moment of great fury, she gripped one of her stuffed animals with her jaw

and threw it at her wall. She collapsed on her pink canopy bed and started sobbing hysterically.

I vow that from today on, I will make sure others suffer how I did. Through themselves. She thought bitterly.
