That's the thing about about the city... You can put a body in a dark alley and no body will notice it being dead at least a couple days. I hope anyways so we can get where we are going by the time they find him. I help my mom hide the body of my step dad, he was abusive drunk that my mom couldn't take it anymore. Sadly this is the third step dad I had, but first one she killed once things got rough we would just leave in the middle of the night. Sadly nothing really bad happen in the last two marriages probably could of gotten worked out,but mom don't like conflicted. My dad was the only one who got her the first sign of a fight he would smile and say honey you're right. My dad didn't like conflict either so I guess was perfect together. He died when I was three , mom couldn't handle the pain of living in a small town so we left finally went to the big city like she wanted. She worked for a editing company in New York, where she met my first step dad he owned the company and didn't what his knew wife working anymore, really an old fashion guy,Cory , Banks is his name. The moment she knew she couldn't work we left in the middle of the night, and moved in with a friend that lived in Chicago, which later became my second step dad , Link, Davis, turns out they wasn't really friends she just answered his add in craigslist,just lucky he wasn't a weirdo,or worse a killer. Link was a great guy too , he wanted a baby of his own but mom , she just wanted me so once again she woke me up in the middle of the night, where my mom answered another ad and , that's how we met my third step dad , Larry,the one my mom just killed and we are going back to Wyoming,where I was born. We haven't been there since I was three,we have a farm there my mom has been sending my grandma money to help with the up keep on the farm, but my grandma didn't care about the money she just cared that we was coming home. My grandma also didn't care about,my mom's failed marriages or that ,she killed Larry on self defense,and that she hid the body in a dark alley,in the pouring rain ,and that me slipt ,and slid everywhere trying to hide his body. My grandma just glad to have her baby girl back and , her granddaughter back. She welcomed us with open arms ,and smacked my mom aside of the head ,and said how dare you kept me from my granddaughter from me for so long. They agreed for a little bit ,and finally my grandma said I bet you two are hungry and made us a great biscuit and gravy breakfast. We now been here for seven months now so safe to say didn't find anything on my mom for killing Larry. I just feel so great to know how it feels to be around my family I never got to know. My cousins have took me fishing,and cow tipping and, drinking in the middle of an field , I guess that's what teenagers do around here. I'm getting used to the same people asking me if I want a beer on a Saturday day night,I'm afraid to get close to anyone though my mom started dating someone again.

I started hanging out with, Jackson,his dreamy green eyes I just couldn't resist getting to know him. Jackson told me the same thing. He said Abbey your the most beautiful girl I know ,and once we found out we wasn't related we started dating. I made my mind up being sixteen, and all. I just hope my mom's relationship works out I hope I don't have to break the news to her.
