3 secrets cause pain
Hey I'm sorry for the lack of updates.
Reminders from chapter before:
"Hey Officer Piggott, we got a young girl here on the phone. Says there's the body of young blonde women…"
At the Pond – Police Station
The officers walk to the pond. The young blonde face was unrecognizable and thus further information was needed.
"Dispatch, can we get a CSU team down here as soon as possible, " Officer Piggott radios to the dispatcher.
"Yes sir. " Dispatch responds.
The Next Day
At Lancer
Savannah, Dan and the majority of the other cheerleaders are in the cafeteria.
"Has anyone seen my sister?" Savannah asks.
"Why would we see your sister? Dan asks.
"Jesus Dan, I was just asking because she went out the other night and hasn't come back. We doubt she live her son for long." Savannah answered angrily.
Alice runs up, "oh my god guys, they found body, a young blonde girl, it is all over the news."
"Wait, what!" the whole group says standing up.
"The police are not saying much, only that the identity has not been confirmed yet."
Now all the students were watching the television. You could see the shock on all their faces as they watched the news report. It was never this quiet but everybody knew that for someone to end up in a pond, it wasn't a good thing.
Meanwhile
I was a work when a coworker said that student was found dead near Lancer College. The coworker was talking about the morning news report and did not know that I had gone to Lancer, so I reacted with sadness but not by true feelings. I was really concerned; I mean young blonde women could be a number of people I know, Savannah and Deidre being the two I was most concerned with. It wasn't till I got home that I was able to look up more details, and even that hadn't helped because those were too limited.
I told the man I was staying with happened and he seemed just as concerned if not more as I was. Again, odd behavior but I don't much about his daughters so maybe something happened there. He told me not worry about right now, focus on work and being healthy. He said that you can't do anything about from here anyway. If it turns out to be someone you know then you can deal with it, for now you got to take care of yourself. He was right. So, I got into bed and I tried to sleep. I think it took me 4 hours just to go a sleep.
I woke up to terrible news, the men came in and asked if knew someone who had recently given birth, I looked up at him and I started to cry, I didn't say anything, I couldn't move. Then all went black.
The next I remember is walking up in a very well lit room. It looked like a hospital room. I had no idea what happened, the nurse came and said do remember what happened. I shook my head no. She said you passed out, your father brought you in. "My father," I asked.
"Yes, he said he was your father, is he not your father?" she asked quizzically.
"Yes. He is my father." I say trying to sound truthful yet hiding the fact I was totally surprised.
At Lancer
The news it fast. Everybody was relieved that it was not Marti but deeply sadden by who it was.
The news report had stated that young blonde had recently given birth and Savannah broke down in tears.
"This is moment where I wish Marti was here." Savannah said with tears dripping down her face.
Meanwhile
As I walk out the hospital, my father at my side, I say "I think I need to back. I mean I am totally afraid of what they will think but I need to be there for my friends."
My father responds "if you go, I go." I give him a quizzical look and he just nods and smiles.
Sometimes, hard times really do bring families together.
