5th Avenue

Chapter 4

The next day which was Friday Julia woke up remembering she has to meet xoxo and give him or her the bracelet so she went downstairs and told her dad "dad don't pick me up today I'm going to the library after school with a friend" "what time are you coming back?" asked robert "I'll be home by 10:30." said julia "Ok, be careful." When Julia arrived at school Rebecca went up to her and said "Are you free tonight? All the girls are coming to my house for a sleepover." Julia quickly came up with a lie and said "Uh no sorry my dad grounded me so I can't go anywhere." Julia said hesitatingly. The bell rang and Julia's fright was only getting worse and worse, because every second Julia was only getting closer to 9:00, that means she had to find out what 597 means. Julia thought that since her dad was at work, maybe she could go home and search his office and maybe find any clues that could lead her to 597. Julia arrived home and quickly went to her dad's office, "Ok, im looking for anything that my mom left behind before she died, or any numbers that could lead to 597." said Julia. Julia searched the whole room, she found nothing, she sat down to take a break and suddenly saw something that got her attention, a door with a lock on it, "That door," julia said in excitement "I remember that door, when I was little anytime that I would try to open that door, dad would yell at me and tell me to get away from it." Julia quickly went up to the door and tried opening it, but she had no clue what the code was. "I know this might probably not work, but I need to try it." Julia thought to herself, She got a piece of paper out of her backpack and started to put in the code, 597! "It worked!" shouted Julia, "But why would dad set this number as the code, how would he know this number?!" said julia. But she knew that she couldn't waste anymore time so she opened the door and walked in it, it was pitch dark, she turned the light on and tears started dropping down, as she saw pictures, clothes, and letters of her mom, she bursted into tears, "Why did dad not want me to see this? Why did he keep this from me for so long?" julia said as she was crying. After thirty minutes, Julia got up from the floor put everything back, as she was putting her moms cloths back on the rack, the rack moved and it fell on the floor, Julia bend down to put it back up, and as she was standing back up, she saw a bulletin board which was placed behind the rack, and she saw more pictures of her mom, but also saw a postcard from six years ago with the address 597 white oak, 5th avenue, and it hit her the number 597, is an address. She took a picture off the postcard, quickly got out of the house and started heading to the address. "This place is not that far from here, if i get there before 9:00, I can get the answer I'm looking for, as she was heading she got a text,

Stop looking and bring me my

Bracelet.

-xoxo

Julia freaked out, but she knew she was too far to stop. She arrived at white oak, but she only had one hour left. The street looked old, "What is this place, and why would mom send a postcard from here to dad, what if she leaved here before?!" said Julia.

Julia saw the house with the number 597 stamped on it, she knocked but the door pushed open, Julia walked in, It was a house, there was a room with the lights on, she walked in and said "Oh my god!" the house door shut right behind her, there were pictures of her and her dad everywhere, the letters DXCVII, pictures of the bracelet,and records of her. "Someone has been watching me for years!" Julia said in fright.
