A few months ago, I was watching over my mother's house while she was visiting relatives in Canada for two months. I regualary visted around 7:00 each night to check on the house, and sometimes clean and organize stuff from time to time. Anyway, one night while I was cleaning out the attic, I came across something unexpected.
I was tidying up the attic, when I accidently tripped on a small, cardboard box. Out of couriosity, I opened it. When I opened it, dust came flying onto my face. It must have not been opened in a long time. I wiped the dust off my face, and looked inside of the box. It was filled with letters. I picked up the first letter, and it was from this person named, 'C.O.' I then read the letter, which read:
2/6/1999
It's been awhile hasen't it? You just had your little son today, haven't you? That's so sweet...But don't you remember our deal? I don't think I have to remind you. Ah...college. That's when we made our little deal. You were SO immature, you know. You know, always going out to parties...skipping class...the good ol' days. Anyway, I think you know what you have to do with your little boy now. OR ELSE.
Sincerly, C.O
That sounded creepy. I put that letter aside and picked up the next one. I hesatated before reading it, thinking that I would probably regret my decision.
3/29/1999
It's almost been two months now...GIVE.IT.UP. DON'T PLAY THE 'INNOCENT' CARD ON ME. I KNOW WHAT YOU DID. WE BOTH KNOW. You exposed me to the whole school. You made everyone hate me. Even the teachers. No one even talked to me. When I said no one, I meant NO ONE. Not even my own parents. They thought I was a DISGRACE to the family. They kicked me out of the house, and I had to get a small apartment in a BAD area. This has scarred me for life, you know. I will NEVER forgive you. GIVE.IT.UP!
Sincerly, C.O
I was shook. Who was this person? Why were they critisizing? I reached for the third and final letter. I took a deep breath before reading it.
6/5/1999
Thank you so much for finailly giving him. He's mine now. When the time is right, I'll tell him he's 'Adopted.' This is payback from when you told everyone that I got pregnant at age 18, and I wasn't married to the man. I'll re-name him 'Adrian' after your dead husband. Too bad her didn't live long enough to actually see his baby. I won't tell my new baby Adrian that I'm actually not his mother, I'll just get all these letters back from you and put them in the basemnet, so that he can discover them another day. Thank you.
Sincerly, Caroline Owens. (C.O.)
One thing I forgot to mention, Caroline Owens is my "mother". I was scared to talk to her when she got back. I can't belive she wrote all of those horribal threatining letters. But one thing's for sure...Caroline Owens is a slut.
