I continue walking on the streets, on my way to Rachel's. It's now raining extremely heavily. I'm getting soaked, but at this point I don't care. 

I thought the day my mom died was the worst day ever. But today has broken the scale. 

Why would my step dad kick me out so suddenly? Sure, we didn't get on real well, but he's never been this cruel towards me. The man I knew would never had kicked me out. He may have hit me, but never would he stoop to this level. Well, I guess people change. 

I'm halfway to Rachel's before I realize I'm crying. I never cry. The last time I cried was my mom's funeral. And that was 2 years ago. 

I cry even harder thinking about my mom's death. The police told me it was suicide. But I know better. She would never commit suicide and leave me like that. I'm going to find out what happened. I don't care how long it takes.

I need to know who killed her.

I finally make it to Rachel's house. I knock on her door, and she answers immediately. She doesn't even say hello. She just pulls me into her house, and closes the front door behind me.

" I've never seen you cry before." She states after a few minutes of silence.

I just nod.

"What happened?" She asks gently.

" Curt kicked me out." I choke out. Her eyes widen. 

"What?!" She screeches. 

"We got into an argument, and he told me i couldn't live there anymore. He had already packed my bags. So I'm assuming he'd been planning this for a while.." i manage to say, before the tears start pouring again. 

"Do you know why he would just kick you out?" 

I shook my head. 

"It might be because of what tomorrow is." I say. 

"What's tomorrow?" She asks confused. 

"The 2nd anniversary of my mom's death. And her birthday." 

She looked really  uncomfortable when I mentioned my mom's death. 

"Rachel," I say suspiciously. "What's wrong." 

"Umm.. Look Danielle, there's something I havven't been exactly honest with you about..." She stutters. 

"What is it?" 

"Promise you won't be mad?" 

"I'll try..." 

She takes a deep breath before saying, " I know something about you're mom's death."
