Carla, Mandy and I drove to Uncle Austin's house. It was a huge brick house and it looked beautiful from the outside.

"Why is she here?" Carla asked arms crossed over her chest.

"She is here to help" I said 

"Carla, I'm sorry I was using you the first time we meet but now I see you as an actual friend, i mean it" Mandy apologized.

"Since this whole thing started you have never apologized, why now?" Carla said.

"I am tired of fighting" Mandy said. I think it was really mature of Mandy to apologize and I think Carla is happy about the apology. When we reached the front door the house seemed abandoned.

"I don't think anyone is home" Carla said.

"Lets try" I said and knocked.

"Who's it?" A voice said.

"Brianna" I said.

"Brianna is dead" The voice said.

"Okay, it's Addison" I said.

"Addison?" The voice said.

The door unlocks and Uncle Austin stands in the door way in shorts and a vest with a morning coat.

"What do you want?" He asked.

"Last week you told me that my parents' death was planned. I want to hear more" I said.

"I did?" Uncle Austin said confusing clear on his face. I used to adore this guy. He bought me everything my parents didn't. He was so different when I was younger. Now his hair and beard is overgrown, he looks like a freaking caveman.

"Yes. We meet at the rodeo, you were drunk" I said."Can you tell me about it?"

He looks up at me with me with fear in his eyes.

"No, they will kill me then you. They don't know you are alive" Uncle Austin said.

"They?"

"You should not have come back to Texas" Uncle Austin said and shoves us out of his house even though we were just at the front door

"How rude" Mandy huffwd as he dustered fake dust on her clothes.

"How will I find out who killed my parents?" I ask no one in particular.

The door opens and I turn around to face Uncle Austin, he didnt open the door wide enough for us to enter again.

"Song" Uncle Austin said and disappears back into the house.

"That can't be" Carla said. I can't believe this. Carla's family killed my parents. I went for a pinic with them

"I trusted you" I said.

"I.....I did not know" Carla said 

"That picnic, was it planned? They wanted to see if I was really alive." I said." Why would you do that?" 

"I didn't know, they tricked me. My family was using me" Carla fumbled.

"I find that very hard to believe" I laugh. Uncle Ausutin just said Song or am I the only one who heard it.

"I promise....... I swear...." Carla said.

"Don't swear" I interrupted and walked to the bus stop.

"What are you doing?" Carla asked 

"I am not riding home with a traitor" I said with a harsh tone.

Carla breaks down in tears and runs to her car.

"That was mean" Mandy said

"I don't care, you can go and join her" I said tugging my hair behind my ear. I am filled with anger and hurt right now.

"I don't believe Carla did it but maybe her family is guilty" Mandy said and goes to Carla.
I take the bus home. .......alone!
