Pedals of the Lily, Daisy Shum [best fiction books of all time TXT] 📗

pale and wrinkly. Tara unwrinkled it. She gasped. It was another note from the killer. It said I SEE TODAY YOU MET SOME NEW FRIEND. WELL THEY ARENT THAT TRUSTWORTHY. DO YOU THINK SO? WHOS AM I? GOOD QUESTION. BUT IF YOU ASK OR TELL SOMEONE YOU WOULD KNOW WHAT HAPPEN RIGHT?
Tara though to herself “New friends? Could Rosie be the killer. No it can’t be her said she just moved from New York to here. It’s impossible that Rosie is the killer. Lily died 4 years ago. So how could she meet Lily? So if it‘s not Rosie who‘s the new friend? Or did the killer meant the new exchanged students?” Tara wasn’t so sure but she wanted to find out soon before something bad happens again.
At night when Tara slept she had this weird dream. Lily was in Tara’s room saying “Big sis the killer is closer. Watch out. Don’t trust anyone.” Just like that Lily fade away. Tara jumped up from her bed sweat beating off her face. Tara thought to herself “Was the dream an empathy link?” It could have cause once Tara saw her sister Lily in her vegetable garden and she was a ghost. Tara remembered Lily came back is to warned Tara to keep her, mom and dad safe from the killer.
It was only 3:49 flashing on Tara’s alarm clock. After that dream Tara couldn’t sleep she was busy thinking “Who the killer could be?”
Chapter 5 Your GAY???
Tara just remember it was Monday. Which means it’s a the week meeting the killer at the woods on Sunday. Well that’s what the letter states from the killer. Tara got dressed up for school. It
was 7:00 so Tara thought “It wouldn’t hurt to got to Chris house early right?”
Tara walked over to the blue house right next door. There was some groaning in the back of the house. “It wouldn’t hurt to see what’s going wrong right?” Walked quietly towards the sound. It was Chris.
Tara was going to run up to him to scare him but……… there was someone else kissing him. Tara was pretty sure the other person wasn’t a girl. It was a….. guy. “ARE YOU GAY?”

Tara screamed at the both of them. Tara saw who the other guy was. It was Chris friends. His name was Martin. Martin and Chris just stared at Tara like if she was disturbing there moment. “Speak Chris!” Tara demanded sounding like tears where going to explode.
“Um.. Yes.” Chris was too scared to answer.
“So why did you asked me out when you are gay?” Tara was too shocked to ask more question.
“Well my other friend David dared me I can’t get a girl at the Starbucks. So I went on and asked you” Chris sounding stupid.
“But you really don’t seem gay through the week we been through and you would never tell me you were gay and just fake our love?” Tara sounding more stupid.
Tara was so mad and sad she just walked away back to her farm house. Chris didn’t even bother grabbing her arm and saying sorry or nothing.
She told her mom that she was too sick to go to school. Her mom didn’t bother asking anymore questions because she saw that Tara was upset.
Tara run upstairs slamming the door. She just went back to bed crying. “How could he be gay?” Tara questioned herself. Crying makes Tara sleep somehow. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ Tara’s phone vibrates on her bed making. Its from Rebecca it said “Are you coming to school today?” Tara texted back saying “No I’m not I feel sick.” Rebecca texted back saying “Alright if you need anything just text me. Feel better school is going to be boring without you bestie.” Tara didn’t even bother to reply.
Tara went to sleeping to cut her mind out from thinking about Chris. When she woke up she saw she had a note by her computer desk. It said “I’m off to work honey out in the farm then later I have a job interview as a cashier. I need to make some money around here. Lunch is downstairs just heat it up for 2 minutes. Love mom.”
Tara was getting kind of hungry so she went downstairs to see what her mom made her for breakfast. It was Seafood Fried Rice mom’s favorite Chinese food to cook. BEEP!BEEEP!BEEP! Tara pressed the microwave buttons for 2 minutes as the note states.
Tara went to turn on the T.V. She put on Bob’s burger. It was episode 8. “NO! You smell like ointment and pee! NO You smell like ointment and pee!” the old man and Louise argued with each other.
“Beep! BEEP!” the microwave said. Tara went to take her seafood fried rice out of the microwave. She plopped down on the couch. Watching T.V. suddenly something caught the corner of her eyes. A brown hair women ran across her lawn. Tara heart began to skip faster. She threw her seafood fried rice on the table. She ran outside see who it was. All she found was a note on the doorsteps. It said MEMBER THIS SUNDAY MEET ME AT THE WOODS DON’T FORGET. AND I KNEW HE WAS GAY! Okay Tara thought to herself “The killer is seriously watching Tara’s life. Which is starting to get creepy.
“A brown hair? Or was a black hair.” Tara thought to herself. Tara didn’t feel safe anymore think about this. “Which was worse Chris been gay or that the killer is watching my every move?” Tara thought to herself. It didn’t matter much. All Tara wanted is to talk to Rebecca.
“Hey. Meet me after school I need to talk to you about something.” Tara texted Rebecca. ZZZZZZZZZ Tara’s phone vibrated it was from unknown sender it said “It better not be about what you saw.” KNOCK!KNOCK! The window was been tapped by the outside. Tara jumped. Her heart skipped a beat. She flung open the curtains. No one was there again.
Tara texted back the unknown sender saying Who are you please no more games. ZZZZZZZZZZZZ she texted back it said Find out on Sunday in the woods. ZZZZZZZZ another incoming text it was from Rebecca Okay. I got to go. Teacher coming. Oh and this is Rosie’s number 786-402-8611 she wants you to text her Oh and meet you at 3:30.
Tara texted Rosie saying Hey its Tara you wanted to talk to me? No replies. Tara really wanted 3:30 to come. Tara wanted to tell Rebecca about Chris. Rebecca and Rosie is the only one she could trust but she trust mostly Rebecca. Could she even trust anyone during this time? Is everyone hiding a secret?
Chapter 6 Please speak!
It was 3:25. Tara walked outside and sat on the porch steps waiting for Rebecca to come. ZZZZZZ Hey I just got drop off the bus I’m walking down your street then crossing it. I’m almost here come outside. Rebecca texted Tara. Tara really didn’t need Rebecca to tell her because she was more eager to speak to Rebecca than she is.

Tara saw Rebecca crossing the street. “HEY!!” Rebecca screamed across the street to Tara waving. BEEEP! BEEP! BEPPPP! BEEPP!. “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!” Rebecca screaming her last words before getting hit by the Publix truck.
Before Tara’s eye she didn’t know what exactly happen. A brown hair Asian teenage girl about 20 wearing Publix uniform with a green Publix hat a white collared shirt and brown pants leaped out of the truck. Tara spotted an name tag on the Asian girl it stated YUKI.
“OH MY GOSH! WHAT HAVE I DONE?!?!” Yuki questioned herself. Tara looked back down on Rebecca. Tara realized what Yuki was talking about. Blood was dripping from Rebecca head, arm, and legs. Tara collapsed on the floor seeing her best friend like this.
Yuki zipped out her phone and dialed a number that Tara couldn’t see thru the blur from her eye. Tara started to cry. Tears dripping down her face. Not that crying would solve anything in this situation. Yuki got down to the floor and kneeled next to Tara. Yuki was holding on to Tara’s hand repeating “Everything is alright.”
“If you say so.” Tara thought crying her eyes out.
WEEEWOOOOWEEEWOO WWOOOOO! Red, white, blue lights were flashing everywhere heading to where the accident happen. A red and white ambulance came followed by an black car police. Tara and Yuki got up. Two Emergency Medical Technician came out of the ambulance with a gurney. The two Emergency Medical Technician were dress in white with white gloves picking Rebecca up onto the gurney into the ambulance.
Willkie talkie from the police beat were blurring with police talking to the operator. A old aged white haired Hispanic guy with a name tag of Dylan came up to Tara and Yuki. “Who fault was this?” Dylan requested in an deep voice almost like Darth Vader’s.
“Its mines. Officer Dylan.” Yuki shamely responded. After an hour or two the interview of what happen to Rebecca was over. Tara and Yuki was told Rebecca was in a difficult condition and she was sent to Mubarak Children's Hospital the closes hospital near by. Tara and yuki was told they have to go to court tomorrow at 3 p.m.
Yuki had to go back to work at Publix. Yuki had to tell her boss about everything that just happen. Tara though probably she would get fired and get her truck driving lesson taking away from her.
Yuki and Tara exchanged numbers just to keep in touch on what’s happen to Rebecca. As Tara walk back across the street into her house. It was already 5:30. Tara sat in silence in the house. Calming herself down and trying not to cry. Tara decided to call her mom and tell her what happen. After Tara called her mom, she dialed the Mubarak Children’s Hospital.
“Hello. You reach Mubarak Children’s Hospital. Press one for medication question. Press two for appointment. Press three for check ups. Press four for billing payments. Press five for customer question.” the machine said.
Click. Tara pressed three. “Hello please type in the patience name you looking for.” the machine continued. Tara typed in Rebecca Phillips. “You typed in Rebecca Phillips. Is this correct? If this is press one for correction press two for incorrection” Tara pressed one.
“Hello, your patient Rebecca Phillips is in room 714. She is still doing surgery in her head. She has head concussion. You can visit her in two days.” a really nurse said.
“Thank you. I will call you back in two days to check on her.” Tara replied. Tara hanged up. It was already 6:00. Tara’s mom entered the room all sad.
“Are you alright honey?” Tara’s mom questioned. “Yeah I am. I just want to go upstairs and rest.” Tara replied.
RINGGG!! The house phone rang. “Hello? Can I speak to Tara?” Rebecca’s mom question. “Hello. Hi Mrs. Phillips. Yes this is Tara.” Tara said in a I’m really sorry what happen voice. “Hey honey, its not your fault what happen you weren’t driving the truck. I’m getting a call from the hospital. Okay bye.”
Click!! Ms. Phillips hung up.
Tara walked up stairs. She sat down on her bed staring outside of her window where the accident happen. Tears dripped down Tara’s cheeks as minutes past bye.
All Tara had in mind was “What’s going to happen to Rebecca?”
