Too Young

3 Weeks Later

I was riding down to the storage yard. I got the key and walked to storage room 28. I opened it and closed the door behind me. I walked to the desk and picked up the letter my dad wrote me. My breathing was slowed and I was nervous.

I sat down and my phone buzzed.

Natalie: HAPPY 18TH BIRTHDAY BABY! YOU A WOMAN NOW BOO I SEE YOU! LOVE YOU.

I laughed and shook my head.

I called my Uncle Charles.

*ringing*

UC: Alex? Are you okay?

Me: Im scared to read it.

UC: Alex its time to read the letter. You've waited 8 years.

Me: okay. I'll drive back down once i finish.

I sighed and opened the envelope. I took out the paper and unfolded it. It was filled from top to bottom. I cried a little. This was a big moment for me… I dont know. I took a deep breath and read.

Dear Alexandra,

First off I would like to say Happy 18th birthday to my babygirl Ally. I would also like to congradulate you on your patience. Also to say sorry, for all you have gone through. Im writting this letter while you're 10 years old. You are sitting right here playing with Barbies. Your rosey cheeks held high every time you smile. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me. I only want the best for you Alexandra. Thats why you have to get rid of John and Julie. You will never live in peace. John has always resented me. He was in love with your mom and I only thought she was cute. I got her and he hated me for it. I lost both of my parents at a young age, thats why we have only gone to visit Julie's parents. I started business with dirty men. Under the table business. Stuff that will never be legal in years. I do not want to tell you those things cause I want you to grow up thinking of me as your loving father who passed while you were 10. John hated that I was able to get soo much money at a young age. I was able to take care of Julie and give her whatever she wanted. He has always been a weird guy but I would never neglect my bestfriend. One day me and you was coming back from getting ice cream when I got a phone call. I answered and your mom accidently called me. Her and John was talking about my business and how when we were younger Julie chose me. John promised your mother that he would handle me. Kill me. Take over the business and take care of her better than I did. I was known in the business and you are too. As my daughter. This is good and bad. Its good because there are people in this game that loves you. They will protect you until you are 18. This gives you time to live your childhood. My youngest assitant Andrew will make sure of that. Me and your mom wasnt on good terms because i thought she was sleeping around with John. She agreed and they started to plan everything out. They started having sex so I hung up and took you to a hotel. I bought that room and started to plan. John knew people that could make it look like a Al Davis has never even been born. Once John said he would kill me he was. No matter what i did. I planned your whole life, Alex. I planned who you would run into and who would effect you greatest. Hopefully you have met Andrew from next door by now. He has always liked you but yall never have talked. I talked to him though and made him promise me he would take care of you when it comes time. I made him promise me that when it came time for you to get married, he would be the one standing at the end of the alter. Hopefully hes keep that promise. The guy you met, that takes you to New York? Room 28? Hes the one I did business with. He told me that if i didnt make a deal with him he would find you. I didnt make that deal. I knew he wouldnt hurt you physically, just mentally. John will be attending a party on a river tonight. This party happens every year, since we were young and he always goes. He takes girls in the woods and have sex with them. Well in a few days he will take me in those woods with your mom. They will kill me in these woods. Im going to have your Aunt Sheryl record it. Thats whats on the DVD. You will not tell that she record it but you will give the dvd to the police. You and your Uncle Charles is going to murder John tonight. Thats the only way to keep you alive. You will murder your mother too. Burn this letter. I have faith in you cause you are still alive to read this letter. You made it. Congrats. Once this is over I dont want you to ever live in sin again. Tomorrow is really when you start to live Alex. Tomorrow is when your life starts.

I love you always Alexandra.

Daddy.

I lit the letter on fire and begin to cry. I miss him soo much.

But then a feeling came over me. I felt numb and then empty. I was mad but in a scary way… I was ready to kill Julie and John. Tonight.
