Chapter 1

Aw the smell of fresh coffee in the morning. As i get up fix a cup, I watch the sun rise in the new york sky.
What to wear to work?. I ponder on that thought. Hmm, Maybe my black dress with pink shoes and scarf. O the news is on. As i get ready an listen to the news talk about the city issues. I start thinking of my own issues.
How was i going to stop the past from returning. My father already knows where i am. He wants me dead, I don't know why. There's something I don't know about. I must dig into the past. Where to start?. How to find the clues.

Walking to work i was splashed by mud water by the big food truck driving by. Not my day. I scream out "Really!!" I get into the office, O course, yes, everyone is laughing at me. "Yuck it up guys." i go in my office and by luck i have jeans and a shirt in my mini closet.
Zac comes in, Tara you have the story ready on celebs Where are they now. Um yes it's on my desk. Well get it we have a presentation in in 5 minutes. "A What.." Yes you heard correct. now lets go. "Ok."
As we walk into the huge room i see 8 people sitting around. waiting for the main man, the head honcho, the.. Welcome everyone, We are here for the presentation of "Where Are They Now." I must say this story must be really, Really good to make it big in this magazine." I welcome you Zac & Tara to the front. I became extremely nervous. My hands we shaking. Zac Did all the talking i just stood there. Nice work. Now on to..

After work i went to my fav place. I sat there waiting for my dinner. Jared walks in and he is looking very handsome today.
He walks over to me. Hi Tara how are you doing? O my day was alright. how are you?
I am Wonderful now that i'm here with you. I have been thinking about our first date. An was hoping for a second date.
"My, I think a second date would be sweet." Good. how bout tomorrow night at 8pm. Just you & i? "I think that would be wonderful."
Great. in the mean time, do you mind if i continue to join you now? "No, I don't mind." ring ring Excuse me i have to take this call. "hello." you think sitting with him will change the fact i'll get you. when i do, I will finish the job my brother started." hangs up.
The scared confused look on my face as my hands shook. Tara, you ok? "yes, I'm fine thank you."

As i relax in the tub i ponder on the call. Remembering what was said. "I will finish the job my brother started." this means my step father was my uncle. my mother left my father for my uncle. who has been rasing me.
OMG!! OMG!! I couldn't believe the life I didn't know about was a life of Jerry Springer trailer trash!! this is just awful.
How was I going to end this crazy madness? I wasn't sure.
I brought out my laptop. started looking up my mothers past. Searching for what I wasn't sure. Anything and everything.
I could find.

News paper clips...
"A local woman named Heather Anne Bea, 34, was found in the local lake. After her daughter Tara Anne Bea,18, was found in the lake barely alive. After attempted murder on Tara. we were able to find her mothers remains after many years of searching. Her mothers murder was solved. A local man, Jeff bea,56, was arrested for the murder of Heather Anne Bea And attempted murder of Tara Anne Bea. He did confess to the murder of Heather Anne Bea. He was charged with first degree murder. he remains in prison until sentenced."
The article was a shocker to me. I hadn't seen it. even though it's been 10 months since it all happened. I don't even know how long Jeff will be in prison. What prison? when is his court date? will i have to be there?
The next day i called my towns jail searching for answers. He was sent to a Long Island prison. As I called the prison I asked when his court date was. It was in one month. I gathered the information on where.
I'm going to plan a road trip. I'm going to find out how long my mothers murderer was going down.
I took a week off from work. In advance.
Date night with Jared. I must get ready. As i turn on some music and lay out my outfit. I run a bubble bath. After wards i'm dancing in front of the mirror as i put on my makeup. Fixing my hair o joy!
Slide on my heels. Look in the full length mirror, My O My, I'm looking stunning and confident to night.
I gather my thing's and head out the door.
Hello beautiful. you are looking very gorgeous tonight, I'm a lucky man. "Thank you handsome. You are looking stunning yourself."
Shall we get going. "yes lets." I've made dinner reservations and afterwards i thought we could go dancing. "My you planned a delightful night for us." Yes for a wonderful woman such as yourself, I couldn't dare not to. "You are a charmer aren't you?" Yes ma'am I am trying to win a beautiful heart over." It's working.
As we walk in all eyes were on us. People smiling at us. He pulls my chair out for i sit down. thinking I'm in heaven. I have a dream life. A great job, A handsome man who wants my heart. I think I'm falling for him.
