 January 15

The court room was filled that morning. Everyone filed in, dressed in their nice clothes. The judge made her way to the panel and Jinsu is lead in, in handcuffs and a orange jumpsuit. The lucky jury members choose their seats. Justin and Caitlin sit up in the front with Selena's family and friends. The trail is called to order and it starts. Jinsu's attorney does his best to make him look good. Selena's family and friends are called to the stands a couple of times to testify. The jury takes minutes to decide on a verdict.

"The final verdict is guilty of first degree murder. And is sentenced to life in prison without parole." The court room erupts with applause and talk. Everyone is glad that it is finally over. Justin signs in relief. 

"Finally justice is served," he says. Justin and Caitlin go to the cemetery. They walk hand in hand over to Selena's grave. They look to see Ashley kneeling by the grave. Her head is in her hands. 

"Justice was finally served," Justin says. Ashley turns around. 

"Th-there is something that I should give you," Ashley tells them as her voice cracks. she pulls out an envelope from her pocket and hands it to Justin.

"Whats this?" he asks confused.

 "Just read them, the second one you should read last." He opens the first one up. He recognizes the handwriting immediately. It's Selena's. 

"How did you get this?" he asks. He looks up to find her gone. He sits down and reads the paper. He reads out loud;

"Dear whoever finds this,

If you're reading this, then it probably means that I am dead. I feel sick even thinking about it. I may have made some mistakes but I'm not a bad person. I don't deserve to die this way, this young. I feel stupid and ignorant. Why didn't I see this coming? It was so obvious, yet I was oblivious. Looking back, everything makes sense. When I first met one of my killers, she told me, "this place is full of crazies." I just never realized she was the crazy one. Why didn't I see it? It's obviously too late now.

Let my family, friends, and boyfriend know I love them. All of these murders are connected. This group of people have been doing this forever. They all made sure that no one would even question them. They made us feel safe around them. They made us trust them. But all along it was a masquerade. They were insidious the whole time. Making us believe they were trustworthy when they're not. When the whole time they were killing people right under our feet. I hope someday, they get caught and are put to justice. None of the girls who have been murdered deserved it. The least we deserve is to have our killers caught. I can hear someone coming, I must go now.

Love,

Selena Gomez"

He then opens up the second sheet of paper. It is the missing page to the autopsy report. 

"She was killed with a Remington 870, that's the gun a police has."
