These girls would never experience joy like they did today.  It was the concert of their favorite singer.. Justin Bieber.  As he approached the stage, all the girls in the audience let out their loud, high-pitched screams.  The crowd roared with excitement, chanting his name over and over.    As he began his first hit song, the audience all began singing in total unison.   This would be a splendid night that they would remember for the rest of their lives.

As the guys in black ski masks invaded the house, the family huddled close together with fear in their eyes.  The robbers shouted and yelled, taking all of the belongings.  The grandma quickly, yet hesitantly reached into the wide vase, and grabbed a gun.  All the other family members turned to her in shook, for no one knew she owned such a horrific object.  At the sight of the gun, the intruders took off running, leaving the family frightened and in  disbelief. 

The hours felt like seconds as the time was flying past.  Today was the day that my father was getting deployed.  I wanted to spend as much time as possible with him on his last day.  Our house was dead silent as we just sat next to each other, enjoying his presence.  When it was finally time for him to go, I looked at him with tears welling up in my eyes as I told him to be safe.  It felt as if my heart was being ripped out of my chest.  We all came in for a group hug, as tears rolled down my mom and sisters eyes.
