The silent cry

Chapter 1

Sunday, April 2nd.

Recently there was breaking news, March 16th
there was a terrible death that is unknown if it  
was a murder or a suicide.

Cops have been out
trying to figure it out but they have been doing
a horrible job.

My name is Loren Rose, I live in a town called Maple Stream and it's quite mysterious, I live with my dad and my brother.

My mother had passed away on a business trip and I never knew what she did for a living but I guess I never really took the time to care.

My dad works at the bank, and my brother is 12 so he doesn't really do much other than play video games.

But enough about me, the person who got murdered on March 16th was named Dave.

It was really weird because he was always a happy person and never really seemed to be hiding anything, he had his enemies but I don't suspect them of murder yet.

Monday, April 3rd.

As the bright sun arises I wake up, I had muffins for breakfast, anyways I have school today.

I am a Freshman in Maple High school.

It's not horrible it's just a normal high school, but it does look super depressing.

My dad is dropping me and my brother off right now.

Let me fill you in on some of the people or friends I have, I have two best friends.

My two friends are Rachael and Kevin, Rachael is a "don't care" type of person and Kevin always has a lot of energy and he's pretty funny.

Okay I'm finally at school and I am headed to first period.

This dumb b*tch Gwen behind me keeps throwing balls of paper at me, out of anger I pick up one of the balls and throw it at her face and then grin.

She makes a pouty face heheheheh.
She is the like team captain of the cheerleading team or something I really don't know.

She throws another at me and I pick it up and read it.

A lot of people think it's funny apparently to make fun of deaths and she wrote that my dad killed my mother.

No it's not true and there's no chance because my father was with me the whole entire time she was on that trip because it was spring break and he was off.

Though they did have a small fight before the trip but nothing too bad.

The bell rings and I'm headed to 2nd period Kevin is in that class but we can't really talk anyways.

The rest of school was fine but it was kinda dumb and weird how Gwen would suspect my father of killing my mother.

My mom was shot in the head and I don't even think my dad owns a gun.

Gwens father and mine work together but my dad is his boss and he doesn't like my father very much.

He always seems to give a squinty stare as if he is the king of everything or something.
Gwens older sister died a long time ago, she drowned herself in their swimming pool.

It's pretty sad. And it's strange because that family always seemed to be very private, they don't like having visitors or parties.

Kevin's family is pretty perfect I have to say so there isn't much to say about him.

But Rachael thinks her mom is cheating on her father, she's waiting for proof though.

I don't know much about it yet.
At the end of the day I walk home because my dad is still working, my brother Anthony already walked home.

I usually make dinner so I cooked up some broccoli and chicken and put that on top of some rice.

My dad didn't get home until late last night. He looked pretty tired so I just let him sleep. At about 11 PM I go to sleep.

Tuesday, April 4th.
The next day I woke up to Anthony watching cartoons and my dad cooking breakfast.

Suddenly I heard a gunshot. It seemed close so me and Anthony got down because our dad told us to.

We didn't hear screaming so we got back up. Me and dad were curious about what happened, but we carry on with our day.

Then about 10 minutes later we hear sirens. We all walk outside and we see the cops walk into our neighbors house, another cop came up to us to ask if we saw anything, we say no. There was an ambulance, I guess somebody did get shot..

My father took me and Anthony to school.
When I got there I didn't see Gwen but I'm sure she's just somewhere else on campus.

I got to first period and got yelled at for not doing homework.

My mistake,
suddenly we all here the announcements. " Code red everybody this is not a drill all doors must be locked and all lights must be off. I repeat code red."

Our teacher locked the door and turned off the lights. All classmates are supposed to hide so that's what we all did, I was in the corner. Suddenly the window shatters, somebody had shot the window....
