Life's unexpected turn

This is a thread topic for one of my rp characters. Just needed to type it somewhere first before posting it

Brown eyes stared in disbelief as the news flashed across the computer screen that was before them. Tears swelled up in those eyes as the words that were formed slowly started to become blurry. Except a few words that remained clear as day...'There was a plane crash. Your parents did not survive'

No words could describe the feelings that Lexi was feeling. This was worse than any pain she has ever felt in her entire life. It was as if her heart just completely shattered into a million pieces and nothing could put it back together.

 Her mind racked with different thoughts, questions, unable to comprehend any of this. Just then her cell phone rung, the tune of 'Angel of Music' playing as it filled her apartment. Slowly those tear filled brown eyes traveled away from the computer screen and onto the caller ID. Grandma it flashed and hesitantly Lexi answered it.

"Hello?" Her voice was soft, but not yet broken. The conversation would continue on for a few hours, a combination of French and sobbing filling the apartment.

Finally, Lexi hung up the phone, her entire body shaking as she sat in the black leather office chair. She couldn't believe it...no...she didn't want to believe it. She had just talked with her parents the other night before their flight. They were off to a romantic weekend in the Bahamas for their 25th anniversary.

How...How could this happen? Lexi read the news report at least 10 times, and the only thing it said was engine trouble. If there was engine trouble, why would they let anyone on the plane! It was absurd! 

After a moment of sitting there, Lexi slowly rolled back in the chair, slowly rising to her bare feet. A blank stare came over her face as she walked through her silent apartment. She needed to get out, she needed air. Moving towards the door, she slipped on just a pair of black sandals, and didn't bother to have on a jacket. It was a bit cold, and she only had on her blue pj shorts and blue tank top with her hair down, but she didn't care. She didn't care how she looked, nor did she care how anyone else would see her.

It was clear she was going through something, her face completely flushed, tear stained cheeks, red puffy eyes...she looked horrible. But it was no where near to how she was feeling.

Stepping outside into the cool now rainy weather, Lexi walked through the rain, her tears blending in with the cool droplets of water that was falling down all around her. She wasn't even outside for 5 minutes before she was drenched. Her clothing becoming a bit transparent, her hair drenched and sticking to her face, neck, shoulders and arms. She didn't care, and in a way, the rain was comforting to her. The cold helped numb the pain but it didn't fill in the empty hole that was in her chest now.

Shaking, she wrapped her arms around her waist, sobbing and shivering as she walked. Heading no where in particular.
