A picture is worth a thousand words

It was early in the morning when Lily woke us up " hurry and get ready we are going to a fair this morning". A fair ? i thought the only time when we went to the fair is when we actually have money to go with. i wondered if we even had money this time. Grandma hasn't been working as often, Lily only goes to work when the lady in the big house calls her. Dad is the only one who has been working and all times. i don't think we got enough money to go to the fair with, i went with Lily to go wake up the guys.





when we got to the room i was surprised that they were up already."how come you guys are up and ready today but when you guys have to be up you guys are always in bed?". " Dad came and told us that we were going to a fair today, and that if we got ready early we were going to have a surprise". i ran and got ready as Lily came into the room saying you have to go downstairs rite now, huge surprise go down QUICK. I was so confused they woke us up to get ready to go to the fair and now we have a HUGE surprise downstairs. And so i walked down the stairs when they're was a smell, i had never smelled anything like that, well only once i a while when they family in the big house left their windows open.But that smell was weird to be coming from downstairs. i walked into the room and wow i had a surprise, we had FOOD, a lot of food in the table. i ran and took a chair as the others were coming down i waited for everyone to come down. i looked around and looked at all the food on the table there was pie,bread,cheese, and a jar of orange juice. But i had never eaten this before, i don't know how all of this tasted.





The others came in running, but grandma was in the bedroom sitting down just looking out the window. "Grandma come down and eat there's a lot of food on the table" " i guess I'll be down in a little bid" "hurry grandma we'll wait for you". she came down and sat down on the chair next to Michael. she didn't have a smile on her face, i wondered why wasn't she happy, we had a lot of food, everyone was together, its a nice sunny day. Grandma started to cry, she got up and walked away. Lily went after her and went to go talk to her and came back and made us make a prayer. A prayer that we always do, day by day. A prayer that we dedicate to our MOTHER. My mom died when i was little and she was giving birth to my little brother. Grama came back and told us that even though she wasnt our mom's mother she still felt the pain because they got along so much. and that our mom was the only person who used to listen to her when daddy wouldnt.My mom was one of a kind, My mom was a child that lived in a big house. She had a big heart, she married my father knowing that he wasnt rich like the others.they had all of us kids and had to live in my father's farm since her parents in which i dont call my grandparents didnt want her to live in the house they kicked her out because she was with a man who didnt have money. and since i've heard the story of what had happened i dont even want to hear about those people they only one i will talk to from my mothers family is my aunt and her children in which she only has two and she is the only one that actually come and visits us and gives us presents and helps us out with some of the payments at times.

well back to when we did the prayer and were about to eat i asked my dad how had he bought all of this food and he told me that he was walking home from the neighbors barn and while he was walking back he saw a whole bunch of bills on the floor. he was looking around to see if there was anybody that the bills could've been. but nobody was around and they were in the middle of the road so he went and grabbed them and the first thing he thought of was to buy food for every one in the house. and so that how we got to eat all of this food and dad was able to buy a camara and he got aunt Nancy to take a picture of the family in our usual days now. dad was smart enough to save the rest of the money and we saved some go to decorte my mothers grave with a lone of nice flowers. And so you see the picture of us now, day by day we have good meals and all of us kids are going to school now and daddy has a better job, which means we are living the best out of our lives =]

The secrete

It was my best friend's deepest, darkest secret and it would be a hard one to keep. he came up to me. " hey i really need tell you something" he said.



"hey johnny,...okay... what happened?"i said



" I'm going to tell u something but you cant tell nobody, its a secret" johnny said



"OK, i wont say nothing but what happened?"i said



" my girlfriend is pregnant, and i don't know what to do!" he said



i was shocked "well it is yours rite"i told him



"of course,... i don't know what to do....." he told me







The bell rang and we went to our classes. we only had one class together. but there was meeting today in which i had to attend and he couldn't so i wasn't going to see him until after school. i couldn't stop thinking about what he had told me. he always told me everything, and he had kept this from me until now. i don't know if i should go on and tell someone. i didn't know what to do.i was worried of what were they gonna do next. johnny is like the brother i always wished for , and Daniela is the friend that would always be there for me.







it was after school, i went to my locker to get my things and leave. i saw Daniela, i didn't know if i should just go see johnny or should i go see her and tell her that i know what was going on and talk to her. i risked it. " hey Daniela, i talked to johnny earlier he told me everything.. are you OK?"i asked her



"hey Jacky....yea i know he told me that he was going to tell you... yea I'm okay but I'm just confused i don't know what I'm going to do, I'm going to tell my mom this Friday so i hope everything goes OK " she said



" ooh i hope things go OK, well if anything you know I'm always here for you, well I'm suppose to go look for johnny so ill just go see you at your house in like an hour, if that's OK"i told her



" actually i was wondering if i could sleep over your house because i don't want to stay home tonight"she said



" okay then meet me at my house at 4:30 or 5 ,... I'm going to go look for johnny OK bye"i told her and walked away.











i ran to go look for johnny and i didn't see him. i started walking home when i got a phone call from him. i answered and he told me to turn around and walk a block down. and so i did, i saw him there he was sitting down on the stairs of his friends house. i sat next to him and started talking to him, he told me that he was going to keep Daniela at his house for sometime because she was going to leave her house after she told her mom. i didn't know what to say.i knew that as soon as Daniela's mom found out that she was gone she would come look for her at my house and then she will go on looking for her, but i don't want to lie to her mom when she asks me if i know where she's at or where could she be at. but i don't want to tell on them because i don't want to betray them. they are always there for me and now i would back off on them. i didn't know what to say but i knew that i had to be there for her, i had made a promise that she would always be there for them. .....>>>>>I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO <<<<<<<.














the days passed by and all i can think about is them. all that was on my mind was WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO DO.. i didnt know but i do know that i wasnt going to tell on them. that same day her mom came to my house and asked me if i had seen her because she had left the house. i knew everything but i couldnt say it


" no i dont know where she's at, the last time i saw her was at school"i told her.


she left my house i knew she was going to be looking for her so i called johnny and told him to bring daniela over to my house like at 8 at night and to come threw the ally, and so it happend daniela's mom found out where johnny lived and went to go look for her at his house and didnt find her since daniela was now at my house. this happened every two days until she was 9 months prgnant. she stop coming over to my house and had her baby it was a boy and looked just like her mom. she tried to talk to her mom but she wouldnt listen to her, she ignored her. and now at times i wonder how would it be if i would've told her mom everything that was happening.

what would've you done??

Her mysterious death

Her death was due to mysterious circumstances & i was assigned to the case.

Wednesday 10 a.m.

I got a phone call from a agent telling me that there was a case for me to cover. i got to the crime scene i couldn't believe what i had just seen. The body of the victim was still there. the victim was known as jenny she lived on a apartment with her parents and her boyfriends name was Paul. Her parents were nowhere to be found . The body was on the floor it had . i walked around the apartment. In the girl's room had things all over the floor . the went to the parents room searched around the room, everything gone there was nothing there , the furniture was there but everything else was there. I went back to the room where the body was at, i did notice that there was a knife in the room , The knife had blood on it which is believe that is was the knife that was use to stab Jenny. i went back to jenny's room i remember seeing some pictures on the floor. i picked them up there were pictures of her and Paul, but some of the pictures had Paul scratched or cut off. as soon as i saw this i wondered if they have had an argument of something. that's when i decided to have a talk to him. And i went on and ask people around the neighborhood and people who knew jenny's family very well about her parents, and if they noticed an awkward change in the family.

Wednesday 12 p.m



i went to the school where jenny and Paul both attended to. i was in the office i talked to the principle and told him what had happened, he told me he understood but that Paul hadn't gone to school.i got Paul's information from the principle. i went to Paul's house luckily he was home. He lived by himself. he looked terrified, but he also looked lost.I didn't tell him who i really was, i told him that i was a counselor and that i had heard about what had happened to his girlfriend. he was still quite. but little by little he started talking, he told me how he didn't think this was ever going to happen, he was telling me the story as if he was saying that jenny wanted to suicide her herself. i have to admit the way the scene looked it did make it look like it was suicide. but i asked him if she had ever talked about deaths, about killing herself or other stuff that could have lead to her death. i asked him if he had talked to jenny lately. he looked pale and now he really looked scared. I DIDN'T KILL HER!!!!!!!!! WHY DO YOU THINK I KILLED HER!!! I LOVED HER!!!!!! I WOULD NEVER HAVE KILLED HER!!!! so then i knew something had gone wrong.










Wednesday 4 p.m.






i talked to Paul but all i got out of him is that the last time he talked to her, she sounded scared and hurt. but that she wouldn't tell him anything. i asked when and at what time was that call. he had told me that she had called him at 4 a.m. in the morning at told him that she loved him and hung up, he tried to call her back but the phone was disconnected.in tears he said " i was calling her but it was disconnected, plus it was early in the morning i was tired,so i went back to sleep and then got a phone call saying that she was gone" i took him home and went to Jazmin's apartment. Jazmin was jenny's best friend the lived in the same building. Jazmin now told me " jenny was acting some what weird and that she will stay home all day and she wouldn't usually do that, she would usually go out with me or she will just go out with Paul, but ever since a week ago she stop going out she stayed home, she never came out, she had missed school 2 days that week, and she was ignoring Paul. he tried to talk to her but she would just walk away like she never heard him and when i tried to talk to her she would just look at me and wen i was done she would just walk away."











Wednesday 6 p.m.





i was in a car outside of the building. when i see jenny's parents going into the building i wondered if they knew what had happened to their daughter i went after them the go to the apartment and saw that the house was empty their daughter wasn't there and that there was blood in the living room. i was talking to them, the had some tears in their eyes. the demanded they wanted to know what had happened to their daughter and if she was killed by somebody they wanted to know who it was and that they wanted that person in jail for what they had done to their daughter.the ambulance took the body to do an autopsy on it to find out what exactly had happened to jenny.








Wednesday 8 p.m.





i wasn't really sure of what exactly what had happened to jenny but i did know that she had not committed suicide even though the scene was left in a way that will make someone think that.


the results of the autopsy were in. i had them in my hands i opened the letter and read it, jenny was killed by someone else and not herself. she was stabbed on her right side and was hit on her head with some kind of metal in the head. i had so many suspects in mind. so i had to find out who had done this to jenny. i went to the police department and told them that i needed a couple of them to help me because i need to bring some people in to take a Lie detector test .

they all had questions about jenny's death, i took in jenny's parents, paul, and Jazmin.





i had the result and surprised when i was that paul..... had passed

jazmin....passed

mom.....passed

and dad.... failed

I was surprised that he had killed his own daughter. he knew that i knew he was guilty and asked me if we could have a talk in private. we went into the conference room and started talking i told him that i was listening to him and whatever he had to say he had to tell me now that was when he started crying and confesed everything. he had told me that they had gotten into an arguement because he didnt like paul and he wanted them to break up and that she refused and then they were yelling at eachother and that he couldnt stand that his daughter arguing with him because of a guy and thats when he started to hit her, from then she got mad that he was hitting her and she ran to the kitchen and grabed a knife and pointed it at him she ran with it and dropped it and all of this had happened because when he had her on the floor hitting her he was super mad a saw the knife and stabed her and after he had killed her he was scared and cleared his figerprints and everything that was there that could have been there as evidence. and so on he turned himself in...

Jacqueline J. Chavez's life story

One Saturday morning I was getting ready to go to church for my cousin's wedding. My husband and I were leaving the house when i started having contractions. My husband took me straight to the hospital and stayed there with me but i had told him to go to the church and told them why i wasnt going able to go plus i was better off without him being there. so he left to the church came back around 1 p.m. that same day and came into the room and he looked surprised because the baby wasn't born yet. so he was there for about 2 hours and then he got hungry and told me that he was going to go downstairs to the cafeteria to go eat something. it was 4:37 when the baby was born, the doctor had told me that i was a girl and they had taken her away to get her cleaned up. about 20 minutes later my husband [Felix] got there and asked if the baby was born already i had told him yea not that long ago. he asked what it was , as soon as i told him it was a girl he had a huge smile on his face. The nurse and the doctor came with the baby and asked for the baby's name, my husband and i decided to name her Jacqueline from our favorite actor, Jazmine because that was his favorite name for a girl. later on that day my older sister came to see the baby she was so happy that the baby was born. she had told me that she wanted to leave the church as soon as Felix had said that i was at the hospital having the baby.

A year past by and jacky was getting bigger, we planned a small birthday party since we didnt have money because i wasnt working. i made the cake myself ,my sister Emelia and her husband came to see jacky since they were jacky's godparents. and so we were at the house for a while and then decided to go to the park for an hour or so. we all saw jacky grow day by day. she was getting older and was starting to look more like me.

the years keep going by. jacky turned five this year and i was pregnant, meaning that she was going to have a little one to play with at all timessince the older ones would really pay attention to her. at first she didnt really like the idea of having a little baby sister, when the baby was born she was so happy and she came to the hospital as soon as the baby was born she came running into the room and said can i pick her name, and so i asked what name does she like, she took a little while and said " it has to start with a J just like my name" and so she wondered "jessica" she shouted. "my friend's name is jessica and i like that name can the baby have jessica as a name?" and so i said i kinda like that name, so we went with it and she got it her way. as time past by jacky was the kind of person who care about everything and everyone, at times we thought she was a little too sensative. but we said it was ok she was going to grow out of it as time past.

she was doing very well in school she was a straight A and B student but when she got to 6th grade things started to change, she dropped her grade she stared talking back to me, she was always on the phone, and she would always get in trouble in school, this was one of the hardest years she had given us, she even had to go to summer school. but that didnt do it she would do anything it really looked like she was giving up in school. we were scared that she would just stop going to school one day. and so it started happening. she didnt get promoted which meant she had to repeat a year that day that they told her she had failed was the worst day ever to us her father was really mad at her, she got home that day and told us and her dad went crazy, he yelled at her and even got to the point where he had to hit her for her to straighten up.

the second year of 6th grade she was going pretty good but around december she had gotten in trouble once again. the school called me that same day and told me what had happened and asked me if i knew that she had a boyfriend. i couldnt believe it but i kinda thought it was my fault that she had never told me anything and that she was now keeping things away from us because i would never ask her bout things in life i would just be there in the house and when she tried talking to me i would ignore her at times. it was all coming back to me and now i didnt know what to do her father was at home that day and heard everything that the school had told me he was eating at the time and then just left the house i wondered where had he gone. he came back at night when jacky had just gone into her room he came in and went staraight into the room. i knew he was mad. the bad things was that it was a friday and that the had the next week off as winter break. her father was mad that day and told her to pack her things she really felt bad at this time she didnt know anything she didnt know what was going to happen he told her to get in the car and left he took her to her grandma's house and told her uncle that she was going to stay there for the week. as soon as she heard that she started crying, she wasnt going to be able to talk to her sisters or brother or mom. she was crying all day and would stop that whole week she came back home the next week the day before going back to school. she straighten out some what but was mad because of what her father had done to her so she ditched school a couple of days and got more in trouble but that didnt stop her.

i wanted all this to stop so i ended up taking her to a conselor and to people who where able to help her.that year was over . now when she got in 7th grade we saw those grades going up and her actions werea lot better. the teachers had called us to tell us that she was doing very good in school but that her attitude had to change, if her attitude changed they where going to transfer her to honors class and so she decided not to go to honors because she had met the friend that she really cared about and her name is alexia. they were together at all times, they were more like sisters. we took alexia with us everywhere we went out, and that is how jacky changed her whole attitude. and so i have to thank alexia for that.

this year she's in eight grade doing pretty good in school and now doesnt keep things away from us.and is now working on her school work and is eager to go to high school, and graduate and get a good carrier, according to her its more about making up the years that she mistreated us and to get us what we deserve.
