Lies My Family Kept From Me

Chapter 12

I got out of the dusty room, coughing more than ever. Mom was still not home, dad was outside with Dannia, his dirty little secret. Now was the perfect time to break into Eda's house and find out what's so important that it needed to be hidden. It was the perfect time to find evidence, enough evidence to put them both behind bars... but.. would I wan't that for my father? I thought about what he did to me. Yes, I would.

I headed over to my room and picked up the phone. I dialed Dean's number. He picked it up without it even ringing once.

"Heeeyyy Lauren!"

"Dean, I need you to help me in something," my tone was serious.

"Not a hey for me?"

"Ok ok, hey, but really, this is urgent.."

"It looks like it..."

"Ok so, where do I start from?"

"I suggest...from the beginning.." 

"YOU ALREADY KNOW THE BEGINNING DEAN!" I screamed at him. "You know what? Im sorry, Im just a little TOO tense right now..."

"Oh, this is Eda related..."

"Yup."

"Ok, go on... tell me what you found this time.."

"Letters-" 

"Like, post cards, mail box, letters right?" Dean interrupted me.

"Yes Dean, post cards, mail box, letters." I took a deep breath, "do you promise not to interrupt?"

"I promise," he said.

"Ok, then I will go on.. I went into the room, the one that is never used, and I found all sorts of things.I found mom's old kitchen books, I found my old drawings, and I found a book."

"A book of what?" Dean asked.

"Dean..." I said.

"Sorry, I will just...  lock my mouth up, if I talk, you kill me like you killed Eda ok?" he laughed.

"I DIDN'T KILL EDA DEAN!!! Ugh, this is going to be impossible!!!!"

"Sorry Lauren, really, I was just joking around.."

"I noticed..."

"Go ahead, tell me.." Dean said.

"Ok, so... Inside the book I found this letters, and they were written to my dad, from Dannia. They were about a strange "impossible love" relationship, and they were hiding something, which, according to the last letter, is still in the secret drawer on the Tanner's house.."

"Dannia, your dad?" Dean sounded shocked. "Now, let me guess... you want to break into Eda's house right?"

"Right! I love how you know me soo well!" I told him.

"I don't think this might be a wonderful idea Lauren..." he sounded nervous, like he really didn't want to do this.

"Why not?!" I asked him.

"Because your dad-"

"He's outside, with Dannia, my mother is at her book club, and Eda's dad is.. probably in the house, but whatever, we are going inside anyways..."

"What if Eda's dad catches us going inside? Then It will be really obvious to him that you "murdered" Eda, and they will have enough evidence to back it up."

"Yeah Dean, but maybe that important thing that they are hiding gives me enough evidence that they, Dannia and Albert, killed Eda."

Dean sighed, "Oh what I do for you Ms. Lauren Patricia Decker..."
