The Secrets She Held

Hi this is my very first story. I have always wrote but never had the confidence to publish a story for people to read in a long time. all feed back is welcomed. The beginning might be repetitive and some information maybe changed for story purposes. I hope you enjoy.

----------------------------------------------------

If you are reading this lil sis, I am no longer with you. I am sorry for not telling you what I had been going through this last year. I didn't want you to worry and get distracted from your school work. Knowing you, you would've been constantly worried and that something that I could not let happen, especially if it could stop you from achieving your dream.

Honestly, this is not the first time I kept something from you and this is not the worst of it yet. I have been keeping secrets from you that I couldn't bring myself to tell you in person while I was still there. I also couldn't just outright tell you the secrets that I have, where would the fun be in that!

Lil sis, there are 10 major secrets that I have to tell you and I trusted someone very important to me to give you the letters as you go. Sort of like the scavenger hunts we used to do when you were younger. You know the ones where I give you all these tasks for you to do just for you to come back smiling ear to ear when you completed them.

I never told you but I used to do that to keep you distracted from everything that was going on at home. You were too young to understand at the time what was happening in that home and I am glad that by the time I left that home was no more.

Skylar, you were the best thing that could have happened to my life. I didn't know back then when I was 13 years old, that I needed you to make my life better. You kept me sane throughout the years, although Mom and Dad may think I was off the rail insane most times. That is why I had to keep these secrets to my grave but in my last days I realized that you should know the truth.

You just turned 18 and are graduating soon. This is your summer homework in a way before you go off to college. I hope this scavenger hunt helps you in many ways to find yourself before you start in fall.

Sky I want you to know who you are before this world tries to force you to be something that you are not. I want you to finally have a little bit of freedom just like I had in my last few years. I am sorry that I couldn't be here to help you on this journey or to see where you end up. Please do not be mad at me, know that I always loved you and wanted you to have the best life possible.

Love your big sis always and forever
