I knew it from the first time that I saw you! As I looked into your eyes , I saw my future go up in flames. Everything that I had worked so hard for was gone and you were to blame! There was something about you that I desperately craved and that I needed and I didn’t know what it was until it was to late.

You made me feel free. You made me feel that adrenaline that I’ve been missing for so long. It’s like something inside of me just opened not knowing that there will be a price I’d have to pay. Young, wild , and free you used to live by that saying. You lived life on the edge!

Time! Time has gotten you to slow down. You seem more calm and cautious then before. It only took 10 yrs for you to stop and smell the roses. I wish I would have stopped but I was to far gone. I stopped at nothing. I was gonna get that last high no matter what it took. I was gonna get my last fix, my last craving, my Last shot of adrenaline.

As they all sit at my funeral, there’s not a dry eye in the room. I heard my mom say she had so much ahead of her! My dad was sending death stares your way! You whispered “ I’m sorry for everything , you were the one who made me feel like me again. My future may have went up in flames but I don’t blame you! You needed me to heal you and sometimes it takes someone else getting broken for one person to heal!

I’ve been lost since you left. Asking myself why did you do this! You are miss by so many. I keep asking myself was it worth it Or should I also leave earth!

But you see I can’t leave I have a responsibility! Oh silly me, you did too ! Right mom! I don’t understand how you Can be this carless! But then again you were always fearless!

Mom I miss your smile and your warm caring eyes! Oh why did you have to die. All of this is beginning to be to much, But I don’t dare touch that gun, for it Brings back to many painful memories of Your enemies.

Mom I love you, I have to be strong And it won’t be long and we will be united But until then I have to carry on without you

Love like a gateway drug Will make you want more Love like a fire Will leave you to burn in the flames Love like the devil Will make you wanna sin Love like the oceans waves Can pull you in and drown you

I’ve always had a hard time facing my own problems and dealing with my emotions. But with you it’s all possible. All I have to do is put this needle in my arms and all my problems and emotions go away! My head is clear and I don’t have to think about anything or anyone!

My mom has begged me for years to stop putting that stuff in my body! She said one day it’s gonna kill me! But I don’t have to deal with my problems! Yeah I’m having cold shakes but that will go away! Yeah I haven’t been to bed in days but I have no emotions!

All I have to do is snort this line and I’ll be just fine! Yeah my eyes look distorted but I’m fine! My problems aren’t here anymore! I have to sleep in the street because my family don’t want me around anymore! They can’t bare to see me looking a malnourished ghost anymore. But my problems are gone!

I looked up to see his face! He was dark and scary looking but he had such a warm and kind smile! He said come on man! Wanna do another line! He said remember your problems are gone and you don’t have to deal with your emotions anymore! Just one more line! One more time that’s all it took.

I’ve been clean for years now! That one more time of snorting a line or putting that needle in your arm could also be your last! I finally understand why my family wanted me to get clean and get help! They were only looking out for me. They were only trying to get me to stop talking with the devil!

Today is the day! I have to come clean I can’t keep carrying this around! It’s been 12 yrs! Someone has to realize something! But who could I tell! My husband won’t understand! My sister might turn me in. I don’t have any choice left I’m going to tell my best friend what I have done and what is Burried in the woods I hope she forgives me!

My name is Lilly and I’m going to tell you my story! My daughter was killed 12 years ago and I can’t seem to move on from her death! Today is her birthday she would have been 16! I’m a single mother or I was a single mother and growing up my daughter had everything she could have ever wanted! So who could have done this to my baby! The cops haven’t been able to find any clues or evidence to what or who could have caused her death! They have interviewed everyone around the neighborhood no one has seen or heard anything! It’s a small town so someone had to know something right? If it wasn’t for my best friend Amy I don’t know how I would have survived this long!

                               Amy 

I don’t know how to tell my best friend of thirty years that I killed her one and only child! 12 years ago I was at home waiting for my husband to get off work. I’ve been calling and texting him but he wasn’t answering so I assumed he was out cheating again. I called one of my Ex lovers over for drinks. I needed to clear my head and I never had any intentions of cheating on my husband . Me and my ex was both drunk and one thing lead to another and I was kissing him and then I began taking his clothes off! That’s when I heard Lilly’s daughter ask “Mrs Amy what are you doing”? Afraid of what she had seen I’ve made up some stupid lie thinking she’d believe me! But she didn’t! Lilly’s daughter brought back the broom and mop I’d let her mom burrow but why did it have to be tonight! Is she gonna tell my husband what she saw!

                            Lilly

I miss my baby girl so much! I sit in here room almost everyday and just mourn this isn’t right! My baby should still be here! I walk into the kitchen to make some coffee, it’s the only thing that keeps me going! I look over into my best friends yard it’s so nice to have her live across the street! Amy had always been there for me! It’s such a shame her and her husband never had kids! She was so good with my baby girl Anna! And she loved her like her own! Amy was actually the only one who helped me raised her and when Anna’s dad left the night she was born! I was scared and alone in the hospital wondering what I was gonna do! Amy looked up and said” don’t worry our baby girl will always be looked after”! I loved amy so much for helping me raise my daughter!

                            Amy 

I looked up from planting my flowers to see my best friend Lilly watching from her kitchen window. God seeing her face makes me wanna vomit not because I don’t like her but because I killed get daughter! I wait for my husband to get home before I tell him I need to go talk to Lilly! He’s drunk so it’s not like he’s gonna care anyways! As I walk across the street to my best friends house I can’t help but wonder or think how is she gonna take the news! Lilly has always been a good, strong, beautiful woman so what I did is weighing on me! How could I kill her daughter! As I knock on Lilly’s door filled with regret and fear I hope she has the heart to forgive me! Lilly opens the door her face lights up “ hey Amy I’ve missed you” hey Lilly I’ve missed you too! We gotta talk!

                              Lilly 

As I open the door for my best friend I can tell something is bothering her! I feel for her but what can be worse the your daughter being killed! Let’s go into the kitchen I just made fresh coffee I told Amy! “ Lilly amy says I need to tell you something “ playing with her necklace! Amy you can tell me anything. I’m your best friend. “ Lilly do you remember the night Anna brought back the broom and mop I’ve let y’all burrow?” Oh yeah Anna told me that she think she scared you because you were watching a movie and when she called your name you jumped! “ yeah um about that Anna lied I wasn’t watching a movie! I was cheating on my husband!

                          Amy 

That’s none of our business amy and I’m sure Anna wouldn’t have said anything! Lilly said! “ we’ll she did Lilly and my husband beat me for the longest time because of it! “ so you know what I did” Amy your scaring me what’s wrong Lilly asked her voice shaking! “ I killed Anna “! I killed your only child Lilly someone told my husband and I wanted Revenge! Your daughter is burried in the woods behind my house! Lilly’s face turns pale white and she faints!

                          Lilly 

My face is wet and someone is throwing water on me! When I come to I yell at Amy crying “ how could you kill my baby” I’m sorry Lilly I couldn’t risk losing my husband! “ it’s been 12 years you’ve kept this secret for 12 years knowing I cry everyday! I reach for my phone and I dail 911! When the cops arrived I tell them everything Amy tells me and she admits to everything! This is the last I’ve heard from Amy and I moved out of that small town! I went to live with my mother!

I’ve been in jail for over 15 months! They have given me life! I honestly can’t blame them I’ve kept a secret for 12 years! I’ve wrote Lilly everyday I hope that one day my friend can forgive me! But until then I’ll be spending my days in prison! Just always remember what you hid in the woods will eventually catch up with you!

My name is Jaci! I was 17 years old and I had so much life ahead of me! I had great friends and wonderful parents and a new boyfriend that I would die for! Wait I didn’t mean literally did I?

It was Friday October 16th and I was getting for school it was the last day until fall break! I decided to be lazy and ware sweatpants and a hoodie! “ jaci hurry up your gonna be late mom yells “ I’m coming mom!

As I make my way downstairs I smell the sweet smell of freshly baked muffins! “ good morning honey” mom says. Morning mom! Oh mom I won’t be home right after school, a couple of school friends and Jason wanna go hiking! “ oh Jaci honey you know I don’t trust Jason” mom please don’t start with that he’s a good guy! ( or so I thought)

The school day dragged and I was just so ready to go hiking I really couldn’t contain my excitement! Have you noticed how different Jason has been acting Emily asked? “ I don’t think he’s acting different he may not feel good”! He hasn’t been talking to you all day! Was Emily right had Jason been acting different! Of course not come on jaci you know your boyfriend better than anyone right?

Who’s ready to go hiking Ben says with excitement! Guys this is gonna be so fun and our first official adventure of fall break! Jaci had seemed distracted! She wondered where Jason was! Ben said alright my ladies let’s get this show on the road! As me and Emily climbed into his truck I can’t help but feel like something is off! Maybe it’s just my stomach! Has anyone seen Jason I asked hoping they would say something useful! “ not since last period and he left like 45 mins before school was over! He looked kinda crazy like the look in his eyes where like he’d seen a ghost or something Ben said “

Omg this is so pretty Emily squealed! It’s so breathtaking and it’s right next to a beach! “I’ve texted Jason and called 5 times where is we he? “ was my mom right can he not be trusted! Ok girls since I’m the only guy I need y’all to stay close to me so I can protect you Ben says! “ oh Ben in your dreams Emily says ! We set out on the hike and I still feel like something is gonna happen! We have been hiking for at least two hours and we have finally reached out destination! Omg it’s so pretty up here I say! Emily and Ben agree! Omg let me run and grab my camera and we can take a picture Ben said! Ben it’s gonna take you two hours! No it won’t not if you two slowpokes don’t go he says laughing!

Me and Emily stare off the cliff looking into the beach and it’s so peaceful and relaxing! Jaci I’m sorry that Jason bailed on us Emily says! “ it’s ok Emily I have you and Ben” my phone started buzzing and I have 13 text messages from an unknown number! Emily saw the look on my face and asked if I was ok! Theses messages are scary someone is talking about killing me! Saying how since I’ve been in there life I’ve done nothing but make it a living hell! What are you gonna do Emily ask! “ send them to Jason he’s my boyfriend he’ll take care of it” it was getting late and Ben still wasn’t back I called him and he said he was looking for his camera still! When I got off the phone I turned to see what I was a horrible scene!

Omg Emily nooooo! No Emily I’m so sorry I shouldn’t have been on the phone! How did I not hear her yell or struggle! There laid my best friend dead and covered in blood with her eyes missing! What was supposed to be a beautiful day was a nightmare! I panick and tried to call Ben but he wasn’t answering! As I pace back n forth thinking of what to do I heard something in the bushes so I won’t closer to see what it was!

I freaking hate nature why did I think this would be fun! What if what happened to Emily happens to me! Then what! Just then someone or something hits me and everything goes black! When I come too I see a face it’s a fimilar face! It’s Jason! Jason I said with excitement you made it! Omg Jason someone killed Emily we have to get out of here! “ I KNOW someone killed Emily because that someone was me Jaci! I pretend I didn’t hear the words that just came out of my beautiful boyfriend’s mouth! Maybe I was just hearing things when I got hit in the head!

Jason you killed Emily? I asked! Just then Jason started getting closer to me and something inside me was telling me to run! I got up and ran as fast as I could upwards to the head of the cliff! As I’m running I’m thinking “Why me” why does this always happen to me! You can run Jaci but you can’t hide Jason yells” Jason has finally caught up to me and I find myself asking” what did I ever do to you” oh baby you never did anything “ that’s the point you thought you where to good or you were always so stuck up! We always have to hang out with your dumb friends! We’ll one of them now Jason laughs darkly! Get away Jason I yell! “ oh silly girl no one can hear you!!!! He tried to hit me and I blocked it but then he pushed me and I feel back off the cliff!!!

As I hold on to this tree branch covered in blood and cuts I keep thinking to myself “ why me” my mom was right! I heard someone scream and I realized it was Ben! I started yelling for him to help me! As he helps lift me up from the cliff he asked why am I covered in blood and cuts and I told him I will explain in the car! Right now we need to leave! As where driving I explain to Ben what happened! What the fuck are we gonna go Jaci”! Right now Ben we need to go to my house! We can call the cops and talk more there! But we need to be somewhere safe!!!! I wonder if he’s still out there running and trying to hide but can’t help but think Why me!

I was gone for five minutes! What happened here! Jamie you were supposed to make sure that he didn’t get away! “ he’s a very strong man I tried” Jamie said!
