Erica was shocked. She kept repeating it over and over in her head. His
father killed my parents. My best friend's father killed my parents. She
went to speak but nothing came out. Finally Ryan spoke again.
Ryan: Erica, are you there?
Erica: I, I have to go.
Ryan: (softly) Erica please don't be mad.
With that Erica hung up the phone. Mad, how could she not be mad? His father is the one responsible for her never knowing her parents! She walked into the living room and sat down on the couch. Mary noticed and walked over to her.
Mary: Hey kid, you ok?
Erica: His dad killed my parents? She said, her voice was in a soft whisper and it sounded like it was about to crack.
Mary: What?
Erica: Ryan, his dad....I always thought he died and maybe he did. He said that he's the one who killed my parents.
Mary: Did you talk to him about it?
Erica: No, I hung up after he told me to not be mad.
Mary: Erica maybe you should go and talk to Ryan. You guys are best friends and besides I'm sure Ryan never knew his father that well.
Erica: Yeah but......
Mary: (sternly) No buts Erica. Go and talk to Ryan. He didn't do this his father did.
Erica: (sullenly) Fine.
She sighed. Leave it to Mary to make her do this. She picked up the phone and dialed Ryan's number. He picked up after a few rings.
Ryan: Hello
Erica: Hey, um Ryan
Ryan: (quickly) Erica please let me explain.
Erica: Ryan. I'm sorry for acting the way I did.
Ryan: Don't apologize. I deserved it. Just let me explain.
Erica: Ok
Ryan: My dad was an alcoholic. He was never some bad parent or whatever but he was just never home. When I was one I remember my mom telling me that she was worrying cause he wasn't home and it was late. Around 11 o' clock she got a call from the police saying he killed a married couple, Julie and Dr. Hank Hastings. They said he killed them when he was driving. He was sentenced to life in prison and my mom never wanted me to see him. She said she didn't want me to end up like him. When my mom found out they left behind a one-year-old daughter she felt even worse. She never knew you were the daughter. I am really sorry Erica. If I had o known you were the girl who my father killed your parents I would have told you but I had no idea. Please forgive me.
Erica: (quietly) Of course I forgive you. Listen I have to go. I'll call you later.
Ryan: (smiling) K, talk to you later.
Ryan sighed and hung up the phone. He was so happy Erica forgave him. He closed eyes and started to hate his father even more. He always hated him for what he did but now that he knew about Erica and all he hated him for making her go through this. And Mary my god she had to raise Erica since she was one. He just always thought was a teen parent. Not that he disrespected her for it but now that he knew the truth he felt so bad for her. He though, no he knew his friendship with Erica just grew to a whole new level.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!&&&&&&&&&&***************@@@@@@@@@@@2
Erica lied awake in bed thinking about everything that had happened in the past few weeks. Her life seemed to be changing so fast. She was glad she had visited the graves. It seemed like a nice closure to the problem of not knowing her parents. Then of course there was Ryan, her best friend in the whole world along with Grace. She never called Grace but that could wait. She was finally happy everything worked out for the best. She wished she could remember that night her parents died. Unfortunately she was too young at the time to remember. All she knew was that night changed her life. All it took was one night to change her life.
