‘I love you Haylee’ I said hugging her.
‘Whoa, you’ve changed... since when do you love me?’ Haylee laughed.
‘Now… I have some news’ I said sitting down.
‘Oh! Me to!’ She screamed.
‘You first’
‘Okay, father isn’t at work’ she said quietly.
‘Where is he!?’ I started to panic.
‘He’s fine but um… he is at the police station’
‘Why!?’ I yelled.
‘They found out who killed mother’
‘Oh my god!’ I started to cry.
‘Avary don’t cry, father said he will be home in half an hour’ Haylee said.
I couldn’t believe it… I sat there in silence; everything started to come back to me. I remembered the letter, I remembered when I found out she had died, I realized in less than an hour I was about to find out who did this, find out who caused me to sit here in sorrow wishing everything would just go away.
But it wouldn’t go away, it couldn’t, it was going to stay like this forever.
The phone began to ring; Hayley grabbed the phone and handed it to me in shock.
It was Veronica!
‘Hello…Veronica’ I said
‘Ugh, its you’ she said in a posh accent.
‘Uh yes its me, you got a problem with that?’
‘Mm, put your father on’ She insisted.
‘No!’ I said hanging up.
Haylee laughed at me as we both HATED Veronica.
We heard the key turn in the door, father was home and he knows who killed mother.
Father walked into the house with a depressed look on his face.
‘Who is it father?’ Haylee tugged on him.
‘Someone we know, well, someone we used to know very close’ He said.
‘But who father?’ I asked.
‘I am not to say, girls I am going to bed…Avary take care of dinner for Haylee and yourself.’
Father walked out of the room and went to bed.
I couldn’t stop wondering who it was, father knew yet he wouldn’t tell us anything.
What did he mean it was someone we used to be close to?
I tried to take my mind off it by thinking of what to make for Haylee and I for dinner.
Haylee came out from the hallway jumping up and down.
‘I know who it is!’ She whispered, but I could tell she was screaming on the inside.
‘How do you know?’ I asked
‘I was standing at fathers door, totally NOT eavesdropping’ I laughed at her. ‘And um I heard the name’
‘WHO IS IT!?’ I yelled.
‘Although I don’t know who it is… and father said we were close to them’
‘Haylee! Oh my god, who is it!?’ I said.
‘Paul White, does that ring a bell?’ Hayley whispered.
