The Forgotten Murder

Found Him

Two days ago

(Friday at school)

I walk up to Sam at her locker. "Hey Sam." "What's up Ariel?" She asks yawning. "Nothin but you seem a little tired. Did you get much sleep last nigh?" "No. My baby brother kept waking up in the middle of the night, crying and his room is right next to mine." "I'm actually kinda happy I'm and only child." "Ya. I know I would be." She says with a jealous look in her eyes. "So what are you doing later?" I ask her. "Umm...nothin." she asks in a questionable tone. "Cool. Did you want to come over then?" "Ya that's fine. I will just get a ride with you."

Lunch

"Hey Oliver?" I ask "Ya." "How do you know your father didn't die instead of leave you?" I ask in a whisper. "I know because he left right after I was born and he's only 46 now." "I know but he might have died a couple years ago." I say. "I don't know Ariel. I just really want to hurt

him like he hurt me. I mean, why would a dad leave his son?" He asks in a whisper. "I don't know Oliver, but why would you want to hurt him?" asks Sam. "Sam. I just told you. He hurt me and my mom." "So what are you gonna do about it?" I ask. "I'm gonna find him and hurt him like he hurt me."

After school

"Do you really think Oliver's gonna find his dad?" I ask Sam. "What?" She pulls out her earbuds and looks at me. "Do you really think Oliver's gonna find his dad?" I ask again. "I don't know, because if his mom knows where he's at but doesn't want to say anything than ya. But if he is not even in the country or nobody has been able to find him than no." "I mean I actually think he's gonna find him and hurt him." I tell her with a serious tone. "I don't know but he sounded pretty serious when he said it." she said worriedly. We pull into my driveway and hop out of the car. We both grab our swim bags and book bags and she grabs her cheerleading bag. We unlock the door and go into my bedroom to do our science project that's due Monday.

"What are you doing your project on?" she asks me. "Umm...I think the human body system. How about you?" "Eww...gross. I think I'm doing mine on food chains and webs. I hate that we can't work in partners." she says with a sad tone. "I know this is to big of a project to do by ourselves..." "KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK" I got up from the bed an walked out into the living room. I looked threw the window and it was Oliver.

He knocked again. I opened the door and smiled. "Hey" said Oliver a little to happy. "Come on in. Sam is in my bedroom." We both walked into my bedroom. Sam looks up surprised. "Hey Oliver." "What's up Sam?" "Nothing. You seem really happy. Why?" Sam said worried "Guess." He said very excited. "What?" Sam and I say at the same time. "I found my dad."
