Alicia Romano: A Psychological Analysis

I could hear my breathing as if it was a voluntary action. As I saw my mom car come screeching into the driveway, she rushed out, I ran up to her as I tearfully asked, "Is he okay?" With hesitancy and a sorrow- filled voice she said, "He's dead," I screamed over and over again, "No, no, not my brother! Anyone but him!" and I broke down crying, I felt as if I was paralyzed, I felt like I was suffocating; as if a giant hand was clamped around my heart, I wanted to run, I wanted to scream, I wanted for it to not be

But how it all happened to me was terrible. I was sleeping when I heard a crash from down stairs. At first I thought it was my dog running into things again but then I heard my parents screaming. I was terrified more than ever before in my life. I quickly ran into my closet where I hid behind a few boxes. I then herd steps coming up stars then in the hallway leading into my room. I could hear them at my door. All I wanted to do was scream and run but I couldn’t I was too scared to move. The

I was panicking I didn’t know what I did I thought I was in some kind of trouble, but when I got to the principal’s office, there were 2-3 police officers there waiting for me. They sat me down with a concerned look and told me some terrible news. These few words that I could never get out of my head. It’s as if there locked in a prison. They told me that my father was in an accident at first I thought that they were just talking about a car accident. I had no idea what to expect. Then they told me that my father had passed away I started balling my eyes out I didn’t know what to do. They soon drove me back to my house where I saw my brother and a few neighbors and friends. There were a few cop cars and an ambulance. I later found out that he had committed suicide. My aunt and uncle came and picked us up from my house and brought us to their house where they tried to cheer us up a bit it was my cousins birthday so we tried to have a

Ring, Ring, Ring, Ring I got a call from the police station to come to RT 60 on top of the hill where there will be a wooden cabin on the top of the hill where there will be 6 other houses. I need your help because when I came home my dad Mr. Boddy was dead in his when I was about to bring him dinner. Mr. Boddy didn’t answer me so I thought he was asleep but he wasn’t in his room I went to look in the bathroom and my dad Mr. Boddy was dead right there in the middle of the floor in the bathroom shot and stabbed to death. When I got there, their was a crowd of people standing their and would not let me by. Due to that when I pulled in the drive way after they had let me by These four people started to walk away really fast then when I looked

Trying to open my door to my house to get inside while a mysterious white van approches up in front one that i have never seen around or could remember. The people in the van ask my uncle “aye where you from?” and he replies with “i am from nowhere i don't gang b..a..n..g”. My neighbor sees what is happening outside but is hiding behind his door just looking what happens next.Then comes out running and has a ak-47 on him lock and loaded ready to shoot. The next thing I know he starts to shoot at the van while my uncle and I duck for cover behind the wall. I was so scared and wanted to scream and let my emotions out but for some reason I couldn't and just saw all the bullets come out one by one.This felt like it could take hours and I also saw that he had another magazine in his sweater and thought to myself when will this end and how? I'm breathing so quick exhaling and inhaling thinking I could pass out any minute if I keep this up but quickly found out this is the only thing that is keeping me calm. The guys in the white van run out of bullets to shoot and took off making the loudest noise with the wheels burnin

Before my mom sent me and my dad off to find help, she was on the phone with the roadside assistance which seemed like forever. All of a sudden we then realized the gas station wasn’t that far down the road, at least that is what we thought. We started to walk to the gas station, our foots sinking in the mud, the cold mud rises to our ankles. We immediately turn around knowing that this wasn’t the right decision. The gas station was longer than we thought, it was not even visible. Trudging back to the car we come to find my mom on speakerphone with the phone ringing. It goes straight to

A door closes and then I feel somebody start to rub my arm, "Mallory, please wake up. I can't do this again, I can't lose my family in 6 months. It's not fair, you didn't need to do this honey. Why? It should've been me, not you." I hear a voice that I distinguish as that of my mom.

I felt like I was paralyzed, it felt like I was suffocating; as if a giant hand was clamped arpound my heart. For a minute I sat still taking in the information, I couldn't belive it. I hadn't even realised that I was crying until I felt my little brother wipe my tears away. I looked down at his tiny tear stained face and saw that he was in just as much pain I was in, he looked so broken. I started crying in disbelief and then ran to my room screaming and yelling. The reliazation that I would never be able to see her again painfully struck me. I don't know how long I was sitting there sobbing but time passed by really quick. I hadn't even realised it was morning. I feltso numb, so emotionless, I wanted to cry, scream and yell more but I couldn't. Everything was

It was mid-summer on a beautiful day, where the birds were singing and kids run about here and there. Playing by the playground with my friends and neighbors, I heard a siren. It was all too normal to hear this song of urgency when you live near the highway, but this one was different. It was closer, it was louder, it was outside the towns entrance. People rushed to the site to see what had occurred so close to home. As my group came closer, a white car stare back at us, but it was a stranger’s car, one we were not familiar with, a sigh of relief. Behind that car, another car lies on its hood, flipped and shattered. I heard my friend cried, she screamed to move forward but was held back. Firemen and police officers rushing to pull out two bodies. They were young, younger than we were, one was little girl lying in the ambulance, my friend’s little sister. Only fourteen, her first year in high school, but she was motionless. Her boyfriend, the driver, disoriented, but he was fine, only a scar on the forehead. I found out later my friend, the driver drove drunk and crossed a red light, the oncoming vehicle smashed into the passenger side and little T left us that day.

“OH MY GOSH!” my mom yells. I woke up after the crash and checked to see if everyone was okay. I was fine just a little scratches and cuts all over my body, but I don't think any broken bones. It made me have a flashback of a while ago when my dad (John) and my mom got into a car wreck back in 2003. It was a really bad wreck, but luckily the both of them were okay. I stopped day dreaming and checked on my mom, she was fine too, just scratches and cuts. I looked behind me to check and see if Tyler was okay. He wasn't awake still. People got out of there cars surrounding us and checking to see if everyone was okay. The semi flipped upside down across the road and the other car right besides us. I screamed with fear when I seen Tyler was not waking up. I yelled at mom to call 911. Ambulance started showing up everywhere and cops. A helicopter had to fly down, because so many people were dying. I went and got one of the people from the ambulance to come get Tyler out of the car. They hurried him to the hospital as me and mom rode in the back of the ambulance with him. They said he still had a pulse, but of they don't get him there soon he may not make

I got together with some friends to play basketball before the block party was over, it was getting dark, and so we decided to play one more game. Five seconds into the game we see people running to the back of the block party. I wanted to see what all the commotion was about, so I ran to the back too. When I got back there I see the guy with the tank-top fighting the guy in the white T-shirt. The guy in the tank-top pulls out a gun and starting shooting the other guy. In my head everything was in slow motion I can see people moving but I was paralyze. I can see the body on the ground I knew he was dead, and all kind of thoughts was just running in my head. My brother pick me up, as he was taking me back to the house I just couldn't understand what just happen.

I am walking into my house from school everything seems normal. I started to look for my parents. I did not know why I am, and there is no desire I wanted or no question I needed answered at the moment. I called out their names, but not a single sound came out. When my parents were nowhere to be found my heart started to race out of control. I quickly ran to my parent's room only to be frozen in shock. My body became lifeless as I looked at a horrible sight. I felt a tear roll down my face as I stared down at my father lifeless body. The stink of blood filled the room. The walls stained with a black substance that smelled like charcoal. I could feel another presence there, but nothing is seen, I slowly quickly went to my father lifeless body.

Just then i heard a cop car, my heart stopped and I prayed they are here for us, like maybe just maybe the neighbors heard my yelling and called for help. Just the a there was knock on the door. “IT'S LIKE POLICE OPEN UP.” They men instantly ran through my house and out the windows in my room. Taylor and I ran down to tell the police what happened they saw the guys and chase after them. I hugged taylor crying, I still don't understand why the men did was they did or what money they were talking about. We called my parents and they came as quickly as they could i was still shaking I hugged them until i eventually fell

This whole day seemed like a bad nightmare. I did not eat all day and night. At eleven that evening, a police officer walked into my aunt’s house without knocking. I saw my dad standing behind him. My dad had his head down because tears where rolling down his face and dripping onto the floor. My daddy was in handcuffs. Another police officer was behind my dad. There was also an armed police officer standing outside the house. Many emotions were racing through my head. I was so excited to see my daddy. At the same time, I felt so bad seeing him in that state. I could not even give him a

My mother was the women I saw them taking her and I knew who they were too. Not literally the men under the mask but the people they were working for. They were working for an underground illegal business. They were called the A.W.E.G. (Advanced Warfare Elimination Group) I knew them as the people I was running from. Very few even knew about their existence. Now I had to get out of the house. As I got out of the front I saw a van drive away, I knew they had my mother in there. I turned around and the house exploded. I felt so many things at once if you’ve ever seen a rag doll get thrown around I looked more than likely exactly like that. Once I hit the ground all the pain I didn’t feel kicked in. The force of the explosion threw me into the ground at a high speed. Once I hit the ground it felt like jumping out of a 5 story building and splating on concrete. I looked at my arms and they had some first degree burns It felt like a sunburn on steroids. I also couldn’t feel my leg until I looked at it. A piece of rebar went all the way through my thigh. There was nothing I had ever felt to describe it. Once I pulled it out I started walking to an old friend’s house. After limping around
