The Secret Revealed

I couldn't believe my eyes.

My dad took a knife and started to dig up Allie's body. 

I sat there in shock as my dad took off his gloves and opened up Allie's casket. I wanted to ask what the hell he was doing, but I figured it would be best if I stayed quiet. I stared at my dad's face and realized that he had tears in his eyes. I also wondered what business he had to do with Allie.  

I watched as my dad opened the casket and put a dozen white roses in Allie's hands and put a note on her chest. Then, he started to cover up the casket. I couldn't let him do that because maybe, just maybe, something important was on that note.

I looked around to find something to scare my dad off, and luckily I found a rock. I grabbed the rock and threw it at the other side of the graveyard. Dad looked behind him and ran to the front door, never to be seen again. Now that he is out of the way, I had some time to look though the note. Seriously, why is it that every time something is important, it's always on a note!?

Whatever.

I walked over to Allie's casket and picked up the note. The note had a little dirt on it so I brushed it off. It looked like the note was written recently, which is strange.

Dear Allie, 

I'm sorry that you had to die this way, but I had to do it. 

I didn't want the wife to know about us, and the only way to cover it was to kill you.

I am so very sorry. Trust me when I say that I did love you.

I loved you with all my heart, and just by killing you, it breaks my heart into pieces. 

I hope you can forgive me someday.

Love, Thomas

Hold the phone.

Hold.

The.

Phone.

My dad was cheating!?

I mean I knew my dad was an asshole, but I didn't know he was like this. How could he do this to us? to mom? to Sam? to me? 

I am both confused and mad right now. Technically how every teenager feels, but for me, this is an actual reason. All along I knew something was off, and this was it. 

I put the note in my pocket along with one of the white roses. It's kinda funny how white roses represent innocence and sympathy, and what my dad just did was the exact opposite of innocence. Not only did he cheat, he also killed Allie! This poor woman, who probably didn't want to join in with my father, died. All because of my dad's foolish mistake!

You want to know what's even worse?

My dad just killed my bully's mother. 

Maybe that was it. Maybe Austin is still so upset about his mother's death, that's why he has been the bully all the time. The thing is, does he know that my dad killed her? Is that why he has been so goddamn mean to me?

I had to find out, and I had to find out fast. 

I covered up the casket, got my things, and rode my bike all the way home in a hurry. 

**************************************************************************************

I quietly put my bike in the backyard, and went into my room though my window. 

I took off my black clothes and put on some PJ's ready to go to bed and sleep my thoughts away. The second I flopped on my bed, I heard knocking. 

"Come in" I said, not really wanting to talk to anyone right now. 

My mom came in with a slight smile on her face. She looked at me like she was going to apologize for yelling at me earlier today, even though I had a good reason to. She closed the door and sat on the foot of the bed.

"Anna, are you OK? You haven't been answering to me knocking." 

Quick Anna, find a good excuse! (Said every teenager ever.)

"Oh you were? Sorry, I was sleeping and I guess I couldn't hear you."

Mom looked at me concerned.

"Well, I guess you need to sleep more on the weekends if you couldn't hear me." She stood up. 

I nodded, just wanting her to go away so that I could get some sleep and think. 

She smiled and walked out the door, saying a quick goodnight.

Oh it would be a goodnight all right, just not for me.

With that last thought in my head, I slowly but surely feel asleep.
