The Letter

After a few minutes have passed, I decided to look for clues. I first went into my room. I look on my desk where I do all my art projects. Underneath my art canvas, there was a letter.

Dear Hailey,
We went out to the grocery store.

I decided to call my dad again. He answered. "Hello? Hailey? Honey?" said my dad. It was also a very deep voice. "I left dinner on the stove, go ahead and eat all of it." I ended the call and went downstairs to where the stove was. There was no food on the stove. I called my Ethan. No answer. I decided to go to Hayden's house. I had his key because sometimes they want me to babysit his dog. I go over and the lock changed. Instead of a MasterMind lock, it became a lock with no brand. "WHO'S THERE!" said the stranger inside Hayden's house. I look underneath the welcome mat. There's a letter.
Dear Hailey,
     I know you are very worried about Faith, Ethan, your dad, and me. I wrote this letter because I got cancer. I got lung cancer and I was sent to the emergency room during lacrosse practice. My lungs collapsed and I am having a very hard time breathing. I might have sometime left. Everyone is here with me.
                          Best of luck,
                                 Hayden
