When we got home I told Lucifer I wanted to be alone to look through everything, and I run up to our room. The first thing I do is grab the suicide note to read it again; I start to go over it crying.

My dear girl, once you get this letter I will be dead. I know you want me to hold on for just five more days but I can't, I will not be with him another second. Now listen to me my sweet, the attic will solve all your problems, when you start a family and get married. I trust you with everything, even my body; though I know he will cremate me which is okay.

Alice, don't trust your father, don't ever go back to that house until he is taking his last breath. He hurt you and I'm sorry, I'm sorry I couldn't stop him. I knew before him that you were taking money, for I do his laundry. I was saving too, which is the seven hundred you found your first day of school. Remember I'm always with you love, please read the letter you find, and stay safe.

Love, momma

The letter in the box, with the key; she wants me to read it. I can't read it alone, I just can't.

I yell for Lucifer "Please" I say as he steps into the room "I can't read this alone, please" I show him the letter, I open it and start to read

My smart girl, you found the wooden box, my rings and a key is concealed inside this box. The key is to a box at the bank, the number is three thirty two; a surprise for you is inside that metal box. The rings my dear girl, they are for you; my engagement and wedding rings, I want you to have them.

All my love,

Momma

When I finish reading it I'm in tears, I find the key and the rings. I look at Lucifer and he is just looking at me, he sees the fear and sadness in my eyes and just hold me.
