Driving to Nowhere

"Being nine years old, I tried my best to understand my mother was gone forever and I knew my childhood was over. Now sixteen having an alcoholic father and not much money I fight for myself. I never had anyone that cared about me except my mom. Well at least not until I met the boy I loved. He said I was intriguing. He sparked the wonder inside me about my mom's murder but all my father said was that they've never found the killer. But honestly I think there's more than one and I don't feel safe at home anymore."
