That was my mother's  diary entry  stamped with the date "July 21st 1994".I  wish i knew my mother, my uncle still believes that she will come back, but it's  been 17 years since she went missing. I'm  Jane Marie West ; yes I'm  named after my Mother, Kasie West.  My father neglected  my mother after she told him the truth  about her being pregnant.I live with my uncle Matt,  he is 35 years old and married to a stern looking woman with quite dashing features, Lesley Faith.  My (not so biological) sisters are Biamce and Violet and they're  the cutest set of twins you'll  ever meet, they're  only a year younger.
"Birthday breakfast is ready, " Lesley screams at the top of her lungs.
"I'm  coming,  i'm coming! " i reply loudly.The door to my room opens and my uncle Matt comes in,  greeting me with a warm and loving hug as he gifts me with a beautiful silver necklace  with a stunning "J" pendant dangling from it. Don't get me wrong, i love living  with my uncle and Lesley but i really  hoped that i would've  got to know my mom a little more. Her diary entry made everyone think that she might have killed Tyler, so maybe that's  why she fled? Or was it the fact that she couldn't handle having  a child? Endless questions invade my head making me incapable  of thought  or speech.
"Surprise!! "both Bianca and Violet chant together as the 17 layer cake stands a few cm away from me. Lesley makes a cake every year and has decided to take on the bet and tackle making cakes with layers according to the age.  So here i am standing there baffled that she has done it yet again. The singing resumes  as i pretend to smile,  i don't  particularly  like my birthday as it symbolises the  day that my mother abandoned me and ran away. I don't  remember much of it but what indo remember  is something  I've  always  kept to myself, i saw a man that night,  can't  make out his facial features but I'm  certain that it was a man.But what does this man's  story tell?
