Joke's on You, Cause I'm Really Dead Chapter 10
My funeral was a massive affair.The Reids bought out the entire hillside, where a sea of white lilies swayed miserably in the cold rain.A never-ending line of guests came to pay their respects, but every single one of them was turned away at the cemetery gates.My brothers told them that I had always hated noise and hated being around strangers when I was alive.In front of my headstone, the three of them stood in the rain in pitch-black suits like three soulless statues.Liam was clutching a water-damaged notebook with frayed edges tightly in his hand.He had found it the day before while packing away my things. It had been hidden away in a pocket sewn deep inside my old coat.With a shaking hand, Liam flipped to the very first page. The paper was damp from the rain, and the ink was slightly blurry.My very first entry read, "They brought me home today! Turns out I'm not an orphan after all. I have three older brothers who love me so much. "Ethan made sure I was well-fed,

The police taped off the crime scene, arresting Gabriel, Winona, and Alexandra on the spot.Alexandra looked utterly pathetic as two female officers dragged her toward the door. As they passed Ethan, she thrashed violently, trying to lunge toward him with mascara running down her face."Ethan, Liam, Julian, you have to help me!" she shrieked. "I grew up with you guys! You've been my brothers for 20 years. You can't just let them throw me in prison!"The three men stood there like statues. Not a single one of them even looked at her."Get her out of here," Ethan said, his voice flat and icy.Alexandra's screams faded into the distance until the wail of the sirens drowned them out.…The trial was over in a flash.As the murder was premeditated and incredibly cruel, Alexandra was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve.Gabriel and the rest of the staff were sentenced to five years in prison for tampering with evidence and aiding and abet

Gabriel fell to the ground, pointing directly at Alexandra as she lay huddled on the couch. A gut-wrenching wail tore out of him."It was her, Mr. Ethan! Ms. Martin called us the second you guys rushed Ms. Reid to the hospital."The words had barely left his mouth before Alexandra scrambled forward frantically, lunging to slap her hand over Gabriel's mouth."Shut up! You lying old bastard! She must've paid you off to set me up!""Get off him!" Julian roared. He grabbed Alexandra by her hair, ripping her backward and throwing her to the floor. "Keep talking, Gabriel."Gabriel was hysterical, weeping so hard he could barely breathe. "She told us on the phone that if we didn't do exactly what she said, she'd ruin us. She threatened to run my whole family out of Arlington and get my grandson kicked out of school!"Winona fell to her knees right next to him. Tears and snot were running down her face."Mr. Ethan, Mr. Liam, the vents on that thing…"She choked on her own breath, f

Julian's hands shook as he carefully peeled back the layers of old newspaper.Inside was a sleek carbon-fiber gift box. He popped the lid, revealing a pair of limited-edition, professional racing gloves.Julian sucked in a sharp breath.This was a rare, deadstock pair he had spent months hunting for online, completely unable to track down a single seller.Inside the palm of the right glove, a faded, bright yellow good-luck charm was stitched in shaky, uneven thread. It was dotted with dark red bloodstains.A neatly folded note was tucked underneath."I went to the track where you practice and washed cars for the owner for a month. He finally agreed to sell them to me at retail price! And I also stitched this charm for you myself. I prayed you'll stay safe, win every race, and make it home every night."Julian's head spun as a memory hit him.Two weeks ago, he had come home from a track day and found me limping around the yard, sweeping up leaves. My forehead was wrapped in gauz

The next morning, Alexandra stood in the middle of the living room holding a tissue over her nose. She was bossing the maids around as they cleaned out my room."Move it!" she barked. "Throw out everything she touched. Seriously, leaving her junk in this house is such a bad omen."Gabriel Ashby, the butler, stepped out of the cramped, windowless closet of a room I had been living in, dragging a beaten-up cardboard box."Mr. Ethan, everything else is cleared out," Gabriel said. "But we found this shoved all the way in the back, right under Ms. Reid's bed."Ethan sat on the couch, looking like he had aged overnight. He stared at the box before reaching out and ripping the packing tape off.Inside the box lay a few small packages wrapped in old newspapers. Names were scribbled across the rough paper in messy, uneven marker.With a shaking hand, Ethan picked up the one with his name on it.He tore away the layers of newspaper, revealing a 50,000-dollar luxury electric neck massage

Bang! Bang!The lock was completely shattered.Ethan ripped open the heavy crystal lid, and a suffocating stench of blood instantly hit them in the face.Julian rushed forward, grabbing my right hand as it dangled over the edge of the coffin.A split second later, a blood-curdling scream tore out of his throat and through the quiet of the night."She isn't breathing… Cassie… Cassie's dead!"Ethan shoved Julian out of the way, leaning down to lift my stiff body out of the coffin."To the hospital!" he barked. "Quick, start the car!"The black Maybach tore through the midnight streets at a breakneck speed.In the backseat, Julian held my corpse tightly against his chest. By then, my body was already cold as ice.He took off his jacket to wrap around me, desperately rubbing my hands, which were completely mangled and covered in dried blood."Cassie, I'm so sorry. Please don't do this to me. Just say something, okay?"Julian's tears rained down on my face. His voice trembled un
