The Beginning of the End
Ryder Johnson was 16 when her mom was murdered.
It was a dreary Thursday afternoon, Ryder was driving home from cheer practice when she got the call from her mom.
"Mom I'll be home in like two minutes ok?" Her mom was always worrying. "No! Honey you can't come home! DO NOT COME HOME NO MATTER WHAT!!! Just know that I love you no matter what happens. Whatever you do don't go with yo-!" That's when she heard the gunshot and her mothers blood curling scream. Then the phone disconnected. She screamed and fumbled trying to call her back. The calls all went straight to voicemail. She quickly called 911 that's when she crashed into the bridge and woke up in the hospital with a man,who looked vaguely familiar, standing over her.
She scream so loud that the man fell backwards and onto his butt.
"Jesus Mary and Joseph! Why in the world would you scream like that?" He look up at you through his eyelashes. It suddenly dawned on you...."D-dad?"
He brushed himself off. " The one and only! Come here kiddo!" I haven't seen my dad since he left my mom for a fortune teller in the circus. Yeah I know it sounds weird but it's true he married her a couple months ago. Melanie is her name. "Honey im so sorry about your mom." He looked so sad that it made you burst into tears a over again.
