I am now 59.
It was sometime in June.
I believe it's the 8th.
Bella would've turned 30 on December 17th.
Shanann would've turned 60 on January 10th.
Niko would've turned 25 on January 31st.
CeCe would be turning 29 on July 17th.
I don't get to hear Bella and CeCe's laughter everyday anymore.
I don't get to hear Shanann's constant nagging anymore.
It's all because of Nichol and Jim.
Bella and CeCe were not apart of the original plan.
I couldn't bring myself to kill Shanann because I still loved her despite all of her flaws.
So, Jim had to kill her.
I had tried to stop him.
Jim just threw me across the room.
Nichol killed the girls since I wasn't gonna let them kill Shanann.
She had actually bit Bella because she was fighting against her.
She had bit Nichol back.
Bella had bit her tongue multiple times and fought against her as she was smothering her with CeCe's blue Yankees blanket.
The only reason I confessed is because Dwayne and Nichol pressured me to.
I was in the weight room at Dodge Correctional Institution in Waupan, Wisconsin.
Other Inmates were in here.
They learned to accept the fact that I was charged with killing Bella and CeCe.
The COs were watching us closely.
It was to make sure a fight doesn't break out.
It's normally the buffer guys picking fights with each other to see who's stronger.
The TV was on the news in here.
"Breaking news from Colorado. Here's our reporter on scene, Raquel Taylor."
"Thank you, Ethan."
I was exercising.
"It is reported that Fredrick County Fire Department's Captain, Scarlett Chelsea Jones-Epple got injured in the line of duty today in the wee hours of the morning. She has been a Lieutenant there for 10 years. Here is the spokesperson for the FCFD."
"I'm Connor Peterson. I am the spokesperson for FCFD. Four hours ago at 6:20 AM, Captain Jones-Epple fell through an unstable roof after venting it to save her team. The Rapid Response Team was able to find her quickly. Captain Jones-Epple is currently getting treated for major third degree burns at a hospital in Fredrick, Colorado. She is a mother, a Wife, a Sister, and a daughter. Captain Jones-Epple is our most dedicated Firefighter out. She is also our youngest Firefighter out here. Captain Jones-Epple started volunteering for FCFD at 13. She started going out on calls at 14, having completed all of her Firefighter classes on top of academics. Captain Jones-Epple became a Lieutenant at 18. She became Captain at 28. Our prayers go out to the Jones Epple family. We hope she makes a quick recovery and can join us out in the field very shortly."
"Thank you for your time."
He walked away.
"Scarlett Jones-Epple has been a Firefighter for 17 years. She is mother to Serena Charlotte, 10, Celeste Marie, 8, Sebastian Charles, 6, Carson Michael, 4, Shannon Celeste AKA SC, 2, and Christopher Mason, 1 month. Jones-Epple had them at 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, and 30. She is the legally void Wife of Carson Lucas White, who died in a fire five years ago. Jones-Epple is the Wife of Mason Christopher Epple, 40.

Jones-Epple is the oldest of six kids. A big family she has. Jones-Epple is the biological daughter of Sofia Jillian Jones and undisclosed man as well as the adoptive daughter of Steven Jones."
"30, 28, and 25," was echoing through my head.
I got up.
I took my shower.
I was back in my cell.
I went on my tablet.
I went on Facebook.
I searched "Scarlett Jones-Epple."
Her account popped up.
I clicked on it.
I was reading the bio.

She was in the red and blue bathing suit.
"The older she gets the more scared I am to let her out into the real world. The world of evil, the world of hate, the world of bullying.
I was reading a post the other day where a kid was being bullied at school because of her nut allergies and a kid put a peanut in her drink as a joke! She could of died!
The world is a scary place. I will do everything in my power to teach her right and to protect her, advocate, stand up for her and defend her! I pray everyday that she never feels any less than the rest of the world. I pray that she's protected when I'm not around to protect her! Nothing or no one will stop me!

"When I started the Thrive experience, I was such a huge skeptic! I hit the promoter button because I just wanted my product for FREE and to earn 660 in bonuses on 800 in sales. Quick cash, right. I was broke. Then my second month in, I hit the second rank in the company and earned my Lexus. This pass month our team broke huge records and we surpassed 134k in online orders. All from our cell phones and while I've been on vacation and traveling the world with my kids and husband! I have done other DS and this was never possible! To earn 800 for my car a month on TOP of commission and three FREE vacations a year and my product FREE! Our team crushed so many goals and dreams this month. Most rewarding part of what I do is watch friends start thriving instead of surviving and helping my team start living a life they deserve with their family. They are amazing and have passion to change lives! I'm blessed! All began with saying YES to a FREE promoter account and saying YES to a better, healthier me! #Mylife."
