about a month went by and the pain has become easier to cope with. i started to talk to keaton again but right now he's on tour. so every couple of hours we either send a text or call eachother and talk for a few minutes. He's actually helping me cope alot! the case is still ongoing, but there have been no calls from the police seems they have found nothing. I haven't shown up to school in some time now, i honestly forgot about it to tell you the truth. it's over in a couple days anyway no point of coming back now! i have gotten a few calls from leslie, i do answer from time to time. other than that i don't feel like talking.

"audry! you have a package!" i heard steve calling from upstairs. i couldn't imagine what it could be.

"coming!" i ran up the stairs to go see. it was a nice size package, but i didn't order anything.

"it doesn't have a return address on it so i'm not quite sure where it could have come from. you can take it to your room and open it there. Kevin and I are going to load up on some food at shoprite and we'll be back in an hour!"

"sounds good!" i gladly said, happily knowing i'll be alone for an hour!

"call us if you need us!" kevin yelled as they walked out the door.

i picked up this box which was kind of heavy and sounded like there was water in it. i guess it was some new kind of package protector, like the bubble things that you always like to pop that protects glass. whatever it was, wasn't being protected to nicely, it was rocking back and forth in the box. i put the box down on the edge of my bed and started looking for scissors to cut it open. i walked back to the box to cut it open in silence, until i got a text from keaton.

"hey audry! i got the hour off" i text him back looking at the time, it was only three which was early.

"hey keats! i got a package in the mail today not quite sure what it is? i haven't opened it yet. Theres no return address on it either" within five minutes later he answered

"I haven't gotten anything in the mail in a while! i'm jealous! tell me what it is when you open it!" i laughed and answered

"i'll call you in five, i just want to open this real quick!"

i took the scissors and cut the tape off of the top of the box and as i finished cutting it a stench filled the air. something so bad i can't even describe. it made my eyes tear up. probably some bad food! i finally just opened the box and was ready for the full effect on whatever that was rotting in it!

"AHHHHHHHHHHH! OH MY GOD NOOO!!" i called keaton on the phone and back as far away from the box as possible shaking.

"hello?" keaton answered thank god!

i started crying and screaming on the phone. "KEATON! IT'S A HEAD A DIRTY ROTTING HEAD! A GOATS HEAD THERES BLOOD EVERYWHERE!"

"WHAT! WHAT KIND OF HEAD?"

"A DAM GOATS HEAD! IT STINKS! I'M GONNA THROW UP!" i started to hear drew and wes in the backround asking whats wrong? and keaton answering them.

"audry, drew wants to talk to you."

"oh, okay." i was shaking and so jumpy.

"audry" i jumped when drew came on i was so scared.

"yes" i said crying on the phone.

"what did it look like? what is in the box?" he tried to calmly ask.

"it's a-a head" i started to cry some more.

"what kind of head, honey?"

"uh-uh goats head, that's all i noticed." i was breathing heavily trying to catch my breath and wipe tears off my face.

"Audry, honey, i need you to be brave for me and get a better look of it. can you do that for me?"

"drew! no, no, no, i-i can't!"

"audry, this is the only way i can tell you anything of what's happening, please be brave and give it one more look and tell me what you see."

i walked slowly over to the box shaking. i put my head far enough so i couldn't actually see it. then i pulled the one side of the box down to get a peek of it. 

"DREW IT FELL! IT'S LOOKING AT ME"

"audry, audry, audry tell me what it looks like."

"bloody... it has horns" he was silent for a few seconds

"drew....drew.. what is it"

he sighed it didnt seem like a good sign. so i went to the box to some how scoop the head back in without touching it. when i came to the box there was a bloody note at the bottom.

"audry its keaton."

"keaton.."

"yeah?"

"there's a note and it's covered in blood."

"audry you have to open it."

"god this is so gross." i grabbed the note and opened it.

"do you have it?"

"Jesus is the lamb who died for our sins. now justin is sacrificed for your actions. do what i say or the boy takes the fall"

"who-who does that mean audry?" i didn't answer "who does it mean!"

i shakely answered "you.."
