The Unexpected, M E [the top 100 crime novels of all time txt] 📗

the quiet because everything was always the same. Same stories, same people. If there was more of us, it would have been different. We might even have to fight to get some food. That would be funny though, don't you think. By the way. Happy Thanksgiving!

I know when you get this this will be alot of reading for you. But I just hope, you will read it all. Thanksgiving was different this year. Daddy messed up. He bought a ham, not a turkey. I wish it was like normal. I wish you were here for the holidays. I wonder what mamma did for thanksgiving. Probably worked, that's all she has been doing lately.I have been looking at your picture and smiling. Wondering, did he change? Why won't he talk to us? I want to get you something for Christmas. I was thinking a notebook. You would like that. You can write about your day. You can write my back. I would read every last word everyday for the rest of my life. Will you be here for prom? I want you to be here when I go off with my date for the night. Don't tell Daddy this, but I wanna go live with Mamma. Mom and I we were two peas in a pod. Hope you had a good Thanksgiving where ever in the world you are.

So it's Christmas Eve and I think I am about done writing to you. I will send it because I think we found where we can send it to you. This way it keeps your secret. And you and I can talk. I won't tell anyone anyway. It can be our little secret anyway. I am on my way to Los Angeles and I cannot wait to see Mamma. Is she excited? I ask myself everyday, Does she even love me? I bet she does. I am worried that she or Daddy just say that. I have a feeling you don't love me because you won't tell us where you are. What is so secret over there? It is not like you are at war! You are exploring the world. Where all have you been anyway? How do you get around? Will I ever see you again? Please talk to me! I miss you Grandfather! Did I tell you I have straight A's at school! I am moving back to Los Angeles with mom since I still have my spot at LAHS! Did I tell you I got into the best high school in America! I am so proud! Mamma is not answering her phone. Where is she? I am so worried something happened to her. I called Tabitha and she is coming to pick me up! I will be okay, are you? I miss you! I love you Grandfather! I will be okay and we will let you know we need you. Will you let us know if you need me? I love you!
Love,
Kaitlyn
The Funeral

My Grandfather got the letter in enough time to come to the funeral. He came in astonishment of my passing. A few people were so kind and wrote speeches. Grandfather was one of those kind people. Everyone had flowers in their hands. Brandon sat in the front row of the chapel and cried. Tears streaming down his beautiful, tan, face. I could not believe how upset I made him. Tabitha looked so wonderful in the dress we had designed. Dad trying to be tough, I can see right through it, if their wasn't so many people here, he would be crying like a baby. Mom, so upset, Mascara running down her face onto the floor. When she gets up, their is a black puddle on the ground by her seat. The paster says "Now for speeches from close family and friends. First is her mother." "Hello ladies and gentlemen. Thanks for being here for my little girl, we are not here today to dwell on her passing, we are here today to celebrate her life and all her accomplishments. My daughter was an amazing person in this world. she went through a lot. I loved her so much and I could not have asked for more. I did not think I could love another child as much as I loved her. Kaitlyn was so amazing. My only child. She will be missed and I hope she Rests In Peace."

The next speech was my father. "Kaitlyn she was courageous. She was murdered by a wolf. I do blame myself that she is not with us today. If I would have told her to stay with me a little while longer, she would still be here today. My little girl had goals. She had a life. I wish my little Kaitie was still here with me flashing those big white teeth she would flash all the time. I smiled everytime she flashed her teeth. She was so unique in every way. When I found out about my little girl, I died a bit inside. Tabitha was one of her best friends and tried so hard to help Kaitlyn. Tabitha, I thank you so much for risking your life for my daughter when I know you could have ran, but you stayed and tryied to help. Kaitlyn, you are gone, but never to be forgotten."

I heard that, I cried. Next was Brandon. "Hello I am Brandon, Kaitlyn's boyfriend. Well I was her boyfriend. When I met Kaitlyn, I was saying to my friends, that is the girl I am going to date. Nobody believed me. They thought she was out of my leage. She is. I was the most popular guy in school and when everyone met her she was the most popular girl in school. I fell in love with this beautiful girl who I pray I will meet again soon. Everyone said we were the perfect couple. When I heard about the accident, I was in the middle of an important meeting with the college of my dreams. I ran out of that meeting and went to the hospital and waited for days. I cried and cried. I had plans. I was going to propose to her at prom. But we were going to get our careers going before we would get married. I loved that girl to death. The last thing I said to her was I love you forever and always. and I meant it."

Brandon made me ball my eyes out. Next was Tabitha. "Hello, I am the girl that risked my life to save the best friend I had ever had. I didn't know what to do if I lost her. But I did. We both designed this dress for the fun of it. I think of her every second my life now. It is my fault. I could have taken her the other way, but I took her the way I thought would be fastest. That night scared me to death. I called Brandon and her parents when we were on the way to the hosptial. Yes, I could have left her and ran to get help. But if I did that, she would have been eaten to death. I was not going to let my best friend die. I got a guys attention. He was coming home from work. He was a doctor. He helped. He kept Kaitlyn alive as long as he could. He kept her alive for days. I still feel her with me. Right now. Everywhere, every minute of everyday. She is always with us."

My grandfather had to follow after Tabitha. " Kaitlyn was my only granddaugther. She had wrote me. I am a traveling journalist. I travel the world writing. Kaitlyn had said, 'Grandfather, I want to be just like you when I get older. You are my Idol and Rolemodel.' Those were her exact words. I cried when she said that. She was only five. She put a smile on my face. I think about that moment everyday. If I need to smile. I think of that moment. She was writing this note for me. For about two months. She was worried. She hasn't seen me since she was five. Now she was going to be eightteen soon and I never got to say good-bye. She was the best granddaughter ever!"

Tears filled my eyes as I heard these speeches. I looked through the audience and see all my friends from Newberry. Even Kyle came. As we go outside and pack into cars, we all drive to the cementary where I am going to be burried. All the cars drove in a line. Police escort to the Los Angeles Cementary. There are some police still looking for the wolf that had killed me. I will get pay back everyone is saying. The wolf will be put down. I will be watching and make sure the wolf is the only one that sees me. Watching the wolf get killed like the wolf killed me. I finally can rest in peace when the wolf is caught.

I always have this feeling. The feeling telling me there is no going back. It is like you are walking alone in the darkness. Cannot look back, just look forward. But i my positon, there isn't even a chance to look back. My life is over, literally. When you are a teenager, you say, "My life is over" when you are being over dramatic, but I am not being dramatic, I cannot go back to how life should be. Or how life needs to be. I think about all this as I watch my friends and family put flowers and notes at my grave. My grandfather, my mom, my dad, Tabitha and Brandon put the speeches at my grave. I am burried in the Mausoleum so everyone can put all this stuff and not worry about it getting ruined. I stood next to my family tracing my name on the stone. I never thought I would see it up there. Nobody can see me, but I can see them. Tears flow from everyone's faces. I can feel tears dripping off my cheeks. As I keep tracing my name, I see a hand tracing my name as well. It's Brandon. Brandon is tracing my name crying. If I would have waited, I would still be alive today. I should have stayed with my dad a little longer.

Kyle decides, "Hey I will go talk to Kaitlyn's boyfriend" Brandon tried to get out of the conversation. Kyle was saying how terrible I was and how I mistreat everyone I meet. Brandon did not like that at all. He would not stop saying bad stuff about
