Phoebe
"Movie night?" Michael asks as we turn the corner. Michael has been my next door neighbor since we were kids. Every Friday we had a movie night where we would order pizza and watch a bunch of movies. "Ummm sure let me just ask mom." I say and he turned into his driveway. He waves and I giggle waving back. I was really glad it was Friday which meant no school tomorrow. High school was really hard but I kept my grades up the best I could. I turned into my driveway to see the door open. Mom was probably doing something in the garden. I looked down to her Hawaiian flowers they were so pretty. I stepped inside and set my bag by the floor. "Mom?" I yelled but no one answered. I walked into the kitchen to see a glass bowl broken on the floor. Now I was worried. I tip toes up stairs a bad smell almost knocked me over. I stepped inside her room but saw nothing. I heard the water running and relaxed a bit. I opened the bathroom door looking to the ground just in case. "Mama you left the door open should I.." I started but then saw her limp body in the tub. I ran over and turned the water off my hands trembling. I bent down and touched her pale cheek. "Mom...mom wake up. Mom!" I yelled tears running down my face. I felt a deep lump in my throat as tears pored from my eyes. I ripped my phone from my pocket and dialed Michaels number.
"Hey so can you come?" He asked but I couldn't speak I just stared at my dead mom. "Phoebe?" He asked worriedly. "M-Michael moms dead she she's not m-moving!" I stuttered and I heard foot steps. Michael picked me up and hugged me tightly. He held me as I sobbed into his chest. He was 6'2 foot and I was 5'5. Yes I was short but I didn't care. "Michael. Who would do this?" I asked hoping he knew. "Phoebe I don't know but we should call the police." He said and I nodded but something caught my eye. I let go of him walking to the sink. There was a note. I decided to read it out loud.
Phoebe my baby girl. By the time you read this I am dead. You have probably called Michael over first. You need to stick together you two hold each other up. Now Phoebe I want you to go to the basement and go to the safe typing in the code 3-5-7. Michael call the cops they will come and I want you two to be gone by then. Take what's in the safe. And that will take you to my killer. Don't show this to anyone. I love you Phoebe. Michael take care of my baby.

I took a deep breath and felt Michael hugging me again. "Michael. Call the police I will be back." I said. Before he could speak I flew down to the basement. I ran to the safe and ripped the blanket off of it. I did the code and a loud hiss echoed the room. I opened the door to see a slip of paper. Are you joking. I opened the folded paper to see a phone number. I sighed and ran back upstairs. "The cops are on their way." Michael said his eyes trailing to the paper. "What's tha.." He started but I stopped him. A siren filled the air and I grabbed his hand. We ran out the back door. I grabbed my hunting knife and my phone. We ran past Michaels house and into the den in the woods.
