Edeline

I pulled my bag over like a maniac and took the journal out.

"what's wrong?" Sam said trying to look over, "Sam. My mom gave me her house" I said, "what? What do you mean?" He said, "I mean that I'm the owner of the house for the last 6 years" I said looking through the journal.

Maybe she left me a message or something about the house.

"Bullshit. Oh god. Edeline. This is huge" he said, "I know. Why do you think I'm panicking right now" I kept flipping the pages but there was nothing about the house.

"She must've written something here about it. I can't find anything" I said, "look again" he said, "there's nothing Sam" I said.

He held the journal and kept shaking it till something fell out.

"There you go. It was hidden somewhere" he said.

It was a small paper.
I opened it and it said.

' Edeline darling,

I know someday you will find this journal that will make you discover new things about me.

And if you're reading this right now. That means you found the paper.

If you remember your grandparents house in North Carolina, HuntersVille.

I left it for you.

I know somehow you will leave New York and go there.
Because you will be wanting your freedom like I did.

You will find a number in my room.

Call it.
She will help you and explain everything.

Love,

Mom. '

"She left it for me Sam. She left the house for me" I said and felt a lump in my throat.

I was shocked.

She went to North Carolina to help me.
To help me gain my freedom.
She knew I would leave that prison.

Even before her last breath.
She thought about me.
