November 21 1957
Birmingham Alabama

A few days we were back in Birmingham. I really didn't want to go back to that house. But we had to for school. Either way I wasn't really looking forward to it. Maybe school tho so I could get away. As my uncle pulls the van into the driveway I gently wake up Camila. "We're home now." I tell her as she stretches. "Ugh... I wish that deuce was longer. I was sleeping good." Camila says. "Well the sooner you get out the care the sooner you can go back to sleep. Plus I really have to pee." 

Camila gets out and I follow behind her. I rush to the bathroom before anyone else could get in. "Oh come on! I was literally standing in front of the bathroom!" Lauren yells and bangs on the door. "I didn't know you were going to come in here. Besides you took the longest just to get in here." I say while doing my business. "Whatever. I'll just go downstairs." She says and leaves. "Oh come on!" I hear her yell after a few minutes.

"Mija stop yelling!" Mrs Clara scolds her. Once I was finished I went down to the basement. Camila was sitting on her bed reading. "I thought you were going to sleep." I say and sit beside her. "I was going to until Lauren walked around fussing about everyone being in the bathrooms." She tell me and giggles. "Oh fair enough. I think I'm going to go check on Emily's dad. He's been home alone through the holiday. I know he probably haven't eaten much. Maybe I can make him something."

"I'll come with you." She says. Saving her place and putting the book in her nightstand. Then we made our way upstairs together. "He may not eat anything tho. Knowing how stubborn he is. So I'll just keep asking until he finally accepts it." When we got to his room I knocked on it. Instead of a reply the door creaked open. So I peaked in and didn't see him. "That's weird." I say and step in. "What's weird?" Camila asked me. "Nothings in here. That's what's weird." I tell her and cut on the light.

"What the fuck." She mumbles. "I looked around the room and saw his clothes were gone as well. "Let's go ask if anyone else knows." Mila says. When we get to the living room we find everyone already there. "Does anyone know where Mr Templeweed went? He's room has everything but his belongings." I ask. My uncle sighs and rubs his chin. "We were waiting on you two before we said anything." He says. "When we got here I went to check on him. I found a letter on his bed saying that he couldn't take staying in this house anymore. To not bother looking for him and he'll be alright." He tells me and hands Camila the note. We both read the note over and over again. "He didn't even bother to say goodbye." I say to myself.
