Chapter 11: Secret Revealed

I start to feel around the walls of the closet for a way out of here. Just when I'm about to

give up I find a part of the wall that looks loose. I feel around the edges of the loose part

of the wall and find a rope sticking out of one of the sides. I pull the rope and it opens. It

looks like a hole and it leads somewhere by the looks of it. I crawl through the hole. It's

a little closet barely big enough for me to stand up. I pull the rope inward to close the

hole or door or whatever it is. I feel around the closet to look for a light switch. When I

find one I switch it on. There are about ten shelves on the back wall of the closet. I can't

help and notice the things on the shelves. There are mostly toys, pictures, and music

boxes. The item that really catches my eye is a necklace hung on a hook. On the bottom

of the necklace is writing. It says This is the necklace of Ryan's lady friend, the one he

terribly misses. For some reason the necklace looks and feels familiar to me.

"Jackie!" I hear someone shout

"Jackie, where are you? My dad's gone!" The person adds

I start to crawl through the hole and find Ryan searching the closet. He sees me crawl

through the hole and walks over to me.

"Wow, you're a good hider." He says

"I guess I am, but I found something you might want to see."

I start to crawl back into the closet and Ryan follows. The closet is just big enough for

both of us. I start to freak out a little because it's hard for me to breath in a room where

there's not enough room for the people inside. I try to ignore the feeling. I decide to look

around more to take my mind off it. Without thinking I find myself back to the

necklace. Next to the necklace, is something I didn't notice before, a letter. It reads

Ryan in cursive font on the front.

"Ryan, I think this is for you." I say handing him the letter

"You think, it has my name on it." He jokes

"Haha very funny, just open it." I say rolling my eyes, playfully

He rips open one of the sides and slips the letter out. I don't like to be nosy but I feel

like asking what it says. I decide not to ask and instead I look around the room again.

"Son, I feel my day to die is arriving soon but don't worry maybe I'm just going crazy."

Ryan starts to read. He sits down and pats the floor indicating me to sit next to him. I

walk over to him and sit down.

"But if my end is close just know that I love you. Anyway what I wanted to say in this

letter is your father has done something horrible. I can't believe he would do something

like this. The only reason I know is because you told me. I told you everything would be

okay. I wanted to apologize to the your friend but she never came back after that day.
