My Father Didn't Kill Himself

They say my father killed himself. I don't think so. He would never do that to us. I just know it, and I'll prove it, too, even if I lose everything in the process.

You’re completely sure honesty is the thing you want, huh? Because I’m going to be honest. If I get in trouble, I’m blaming you.

I had unfinished business with the fool that ran my father’s case.

I catch glimpses of the most random memories. Today I was fourteen, sucking on a lollipop.

I did it!!!! I found a clue that could break this case wide open!

Mom’s flight lands in a week. I’m so excited, I’m shaking.

I’ve been following Jeremiah around for the better part of three weeks. I’ve ditched school, I haven’t eaten, and I’ve barely slept.

The police haven’t interviewed us about what happened to Frank yet. I’m on pins and needles waiting.

It took me four days to see Delilah. I guess they keep you on a 72-hour suicide watch when you go crazy.

I was worried they weren’t going to do it. I worried that he was going to walk free, or that he was going to read my diary and flee the country.
