Zoë-Jane's POV:

Today is my high school graduation. I was in my room getting ready. The news was on behind me and I watched in through the mirror.

"Breaking news. Teenager Cariah Danielle Fulton who went missing two years ago has been found in Fairbanks Alaska and confirmed dead. Social media star Colby Brock has also been found and was proven to have not kidnapped her like officers believed. Brock will be returning to his normal life. As for Fulton police are still investigating how her death happened. She had no wounds on her body which leads investigators to believe it was a suicide" the news anchor said.

Hearing that made me cry. I didn't care if my makeup was messed up. I can't believe she's dead. And I also can't believe I had to find out from the news.

She's gone. My only sister is gone.

"Zoë-Jane? Are you ready?" My dad asked from downstairs.

My dad got married in the last two years. To some random girl named Riley. She looks a lot like the girl in the pictures Cariah told me were of her mom which is crazy to me.

"Coming" I said as I attempted to fix my makeup. I grabbed my cap and gown and walked down the hall, I passed by Cariah's room on my way to the stairs. I stopped and opened her door.

It's exactly how she left it 2 years ago. If I would have know the last time I saw her was the last time I saw her I would have hugged her tighter. And if I would have known the last time I talk to her on the phone was going to be the last time I ever spoke to her I would have never let her hang up.

But you never know. And that's what sucks. I went in and sat on her bed. On her bed was one of her black sweaters. I picked it up and hugged it.

"Wish you could be here Cariah. I know you'd be so proud of me" I said quietly.

"Zoë-Jane let's go" my dad yelled. I sniffed before getting up and leaving her room and going down the stairs.

"Wow you look great" Riley said.

"Thanks" I said.

"What's wrong?" my dad asked.

"Um I just saw on the news a story about Cariah. They found her dead" I said holding back the tears.

"Oh. Yeah I was going to tell you" my dad said.

"You knew? And you didn't tell me?" I asked.

"We'll talk about this later. We're going to be late" he said.

My graduation was very upsetting. the only person I wanted there was my sister. But I couldn't have her there. I told my mom after the graduation that Cariah's body was found and she was upset also. Once everything was over all I wanted to do was just go home.

The next morning I woke up and had something on my mind.

Now that I'm 18 years old and going to college soon there is something I want to find out. I got into my car and drive to the destination I was going to. Once I got there I got off and walked in.

"Hi welcome to the Anaheim police station. What can we do for you?"

"Hi I just had some questions about the Cariah Fulton case" I said.

"I'm sorry but we aren't allowed to give that information out to random people"

"I'm her sister. Our father is Jackson Fulton a very important person at the Disneyland park. I think you can give information to her sister" I said.

"Ok. I'll have someone speak with you shortly."

Soon after that I was brought into one of those investigation rooms. An officer soon joined me.

"Hi miss Fulton. I understand you had some questions about your sisters case?" he said as he closed the door.

"Yeah I do"

"Well what can I do for you?" he sat down across from me.

"I want you to tell me everything in this case. Don't leave out any details. I know not a single thing and I think I deserve to know everything"

"Are you sure you want to know everything?"

"Yes. Everything" I said. He looked at me for a second before he sighed and opened a folder that was labelled Cariah Fulton.

"Ok.......well.......it all started before your sister was even born..."

The End...
