The rollercoaster of life

Prime suspect

"Okay Dee are you sure you're up for this," Trent asks using the pictures to his chest. "Yes. I. I can do this" I say taking a deep breath "Okay here's the first one" he says handing me the picture "Umm...no...he doesn't look familiar to me" I say tilting my head, "Okay that's fine" he says and I hand him the picture.

"Okay last one" he says handing me the last picture and I feel DJ place his hand on my shoulder. I take a deep breath and flip it over, my heart shattered when I saw it "Y...Yes, t...that's him. That's my dad" I sniffle and Trent nods taking the picture back. "Okay well, then we have our prime suspect. I think we should work this before your mom catches on" DJ says patting my back.

"Okay. Um, I.... I know....I know how to get a hold of him" I say taking a deep breath in. "I...I would have to go alone and I can get only go on certain days" I explain "What. Where" DJ asks "There's this trail t...that he'd take his victims. A couple of years after he disappeared he sent me something telling me that if I ever want to join him that all I would have to do is go there alone and leave a note" I pause

"I had told my mom but she never gave me an update" I sigh "We could do that if your up to it" Trent says and I nod "What no. We're not doing that there's no way I'm letting you go by yourself" DJ objects standing up. "DJ it's the only rule that he has I don't know what'll happen if I don't go alone and I don't want to chance it" I shake my head "Well you're not doing it at all then. There is no way you are going by yourself" DJ says crossing his arms "DJ you have to trust me" I say standing up

"I do trust you. I just don't want anything to happen to you" he says looking away "Well how about this one of us hides in the back of her car" Trent suggests. "What if he's already got eyes on me how would you get back there," I ask "Doesn't miss Amy have a garage," DJ asks "Oh um yes...Dante's bike is in there" I nod "Okay then we'll move over Dante's bike and we'll park the car in there. What days can you go" DJ asks, "He said the fifth, Eighteenth, twenty-first, or twenty-fith," I say and they nod

"Well we're already on the eighteenth and it is dark out so then we'll go on the twenty-first" DJ says and I nod "Okay....Hey, could you guys do me a favor" I ask, and they both nod and look at me "Could you maybe stay with me tonight? I...I don't think I'll be able to sleep so well" I say "Of course, we'll stay," DJ says patting my head. "Okay. I'll just let miss Amy know you guys make yourself comfortable" I say and go upstairs.

"Hey. Adenna guess what" Parker says rushing over to me excitedly "What's up," I ask, "Mom said we can go skating tomorrow could you please take us to your place" Parker whispers. "Oh...Hmm you know what yeah I'll take you guys I don't have any test tomorrow so I'm good" I say and he smiles "Ryder she said yes" Parker runs up to Ryder excitedly. I smile and walk to the kitchen where miss Amy is putting away the food.

"Hello Darling everything okay" Miss Amy asks "Yes Miss Amy I was just wondering if it was okay for Trent and DJ to stay the night with me" I ask and she smiles "Of course they can I'll take the boys tonight. After all, that happened today I think the three of you need each other" she whispers. "Yes....Miss Amy" I ask but then feel a hand on my shoulder I look up and see DJ shaking his head "Yes dear," she asks turning to me. "DJ is joining me and the boys tomorrow just wanted to give you a heads up," I say and she nods.

"Well that's good the boys were just talking about how they miss you DJ" Miss Amy smiles "Well I'm glad that I have some free time tomorrow then" he nods. "Well that's good now you two run off I got the kitchen," Miss Amy says turning back around. "Come on you," DJ says tugging my arm. We walk back downstairs and then he stops me again, "Hey. I know you want to tell Miss Amy but....I don't think it'll be smart if we don't know what's happening I think we should wait until we understand. Ok?" he says and I nod slightly

"Okay good" he nods patting my head. "Now let's try to get some sleep," he says and we go into the room. "Hey Trent it's getting late put the work down for tonight," DJ says and Trent nods and places the pictures down going over to the bed "I call right side," Trent says jumping on the bed. "You dork it doesn't matter" I chuckle hitting his arm and scooting in the middle.

DJ flips the light and comes lays by me, I look up at the dark roof, "Hey do you guys remember when the four of us used to sleep in Dante's room after school" I ask and I hear the boys chuckle. "Yeah I remember I would be on the right, DJ on the left, Dante would be in the middle and then you were cuddling on top of one of us," Trent says and DJ chuckles.

"yeah but most of the time you were always on Dante," DJ says making Trent laugh "oh come on it wasn't that much" I roll my eyes "Oh that is such a lie. Dante, is it okay if I lay on you? You're the warmest" Trent says in a mocking voice. "You guys are assholes just go to sleep" I laugh.
