Saralie lay on her bed. She looked up at the plain white ceiling and sighed. Life was so boring now that her uncle had left. Saralie got up from her bed and walked over to the computer. "Dear Uncle Jack," she said as she typed up an email to him, "I haven't heard from you in a while," she paused wondering how to put this, "And I was wondering," She thought the wording over. "I was wondering if I could come visit you, where ever you went with Zoe. I miss both of you dearly and Mom's drinking again. I don't feel safe at home. I was wondering if I could come to live with you. Yesterday I found Pot in one of her drawers and I found signs that she's going to start up on other drugs. I'm really worried about her and myself. Ever since Dad died she's been getting worse. Please help me Uncle Jack!" She typed her name on the letter "Saralie Carter"
Before hitting send, she copied the whole of the letter, and then she sent it. Next, she hacked into her uncle's laptop. He had it on him when he left. She pasted her letter on a Microsoft Word document that she named "Letter from Saralie for Uncle Jack". She saved it and closed out of his computer. Uncle Jack had always said she shouldn't hack, or he'd have to arrest her, but he was truly proud of her. Following Saralie's father's death, Uncle Jack had taken her on road trip after road trip, just to keep her mind off of her dad. He also did it because being with his niece made him feel close to his dead brother. Saralie sighed. Running her fingers through her soft, wavy blond hair, she erased all traces of writing to Uncle Jack and then, suddenly tired, she lay down in her bed and in a matter of five minute, she was fast asleep.
