It’s been different every since my funeral. My neighborhood was more quiet, but there was still that “homey” feel to it when you walked around. Me and John would visit my neighborhood occasionally, news reports of my case were still coming out, but no one really cared anymore. No one was arrested for my death yet, the police just might as well close the case. Although, around the time of my “death”, my sister’s friend Jenna went missing; strange.

It was the start of a new school year; but like that mattered because I wasn’t there. If I was, I’d be a Junior though. Guess I was missing Junior prom. Oh well. In August, I entered in a hip-hop competition as a girl by the name of Camilla Hamilton; I was in disguise of course! I came in 5th place, which I was happy with. I was pretty rusty after not dancing for over a year. I realized that maybe my passion isn’t dance though, maybe it was soccer and I just haven’t yet realized it.

Also, I wrote a note to my family. I decided it was time. I wasn’t happy with my home life and I definitely wasn’t afraid to admit that. I would just tell them I went to live in the old tree house and I might not be coming back.  I wrote:

Dear Mom, Dad, Cody & Hope,

            I know you’re all probably freaked out by the point that I’m “dead” right now and writing you a letter. Haha, guess what; I’m not! I’m perfectly healthy, fine and alive. I’ve been living in that old cabin in the woods that we enjoyed as kids; it looks exactly the same! Don’t ask why I’ve done this, its honestly a very, very long story. I’ll explain if I choose to return  home.

I just wanted to let you all know that I might not coming back. I’ve been enjoying my “hobo life” too much. If I don’t return, don’t miss me too much! Maybe I’ll stop in to say hi sometime. I’d love to hear back! I love you all and miss you terribly.

Xoxo,

Taylor-Destiny

I honestly really wanted a reply. I hoped I’d get one.
