Not Enough Tears
chapter three..
Since Ashley lived 5 minutes away, by walking, she came here as quick as I hoped. We sat on my bed, wondering what we should do.
"So... " She hesitated and looked down at my sheets. "How was the funeral? Sorry I couldn't make it. We were having another mass for Eric."
"It's totally fine. But the funeral, like I've told you before, my dad told me not to cry, so I didn't." I sniffed up some tears. Which started to come stronger and stronger and before I knew what was happening I was balling my eyes out in Ashley's arms. Who am I? I don't cry. Especially in front of people. She laughed and I got sort of offended.
"What?" I said looking up.
"Nothing. Haha, I've just.. never seen you cry before." She said smiling. "You're pretty when you cry, Kelli." There was a huge shock (not). Ashley calls everyone pretty so I wasn't really sure if she meant it or not. Yes we are both nerds, but we aren't like wearing no make up- braces and glasses nerds. We both happen to love makeup and shopping, and our grades are average. Ashley, in my opinion, is stunning! Blonde curls always perfectly brushed and blue eyes like you couldn't imagine. Me, on the other hand, gross brown hair, almost never brushed and always in a pony tail, and (at the moment) have mascara and eyeliner all over my face. I picked up a mirror and tried fixing myself a little.
"Yeah, so beautiful Ash.." I said sarcastically. She rolled her eyes. She gave me a tissue and we walked into my living room.
"Let's watch Harry Potter!" She squealed. Gosh, we really are nerds. I smiled.
"Okay, I'll get the popcorn." I said running into the kitchen. As usual, Ashley was so into the movie even though we've seen it at least 10 times. I decided to drift off.
"KELLI! Oh my god are you okay?!" I woke up to Ash screaming in my face. She looked really worried.
"Why? What happened? I'm so confused and head is killing me!" I said bringing my hands to my temples.
"I think you were having a nightmare or something 'cause you were screaming 'DAD NO! DAD! DADDY!!!' And then you started crying. What do you remember?" she asked. I closed my eyes, trying to ignore my growing headache. Then I remembered. I was following my dad the day he disappeared. I almost cried seeing his face again. I followed him in his car which he brought to a dump. Then he walked a long way into the forest where he was found. He met a bunch of scary-looking guys, that surrounded him in a circle. I figured out quickly that I was some sort of ghost and nobody could see or hear me. One bald man in black stood right in his face.
"Did you do it yet Tom? We've been waiting for months now."
"I'm sorry. I couldn't." His voice was shaky.
"Why not!" The bald man screamed.
"How do you expect me to-" My dad started.
"Enough!" He screamed again. Then he took a shark knife out of his pocket. "I'm sorry, Tom, but we had a deal. You either kill your daughter, or we kill you."

Not Enough Tears
chapter two..
My Aunt Miranda and I went home from my dad's funeral silently. I wasn't really the social type, but my aunt is. This is the first time in a very, very long time that she actually stopped. I was trying to organize things in my mind. Did he know he was going to die? What if somebody threatened him! Now that I really thought hard about it, the day before he disappeared, he was being so nice to me and hugging my lots and lots of times. If only he told me, I would've spent that whole day with him and bonding with him. I started to tear up, but I swallowed them back like always. We arrived at my Aunt's cute little ranch. She made me a grilled cheese (just like Daddy) and we watched a couple of episodes of Project Runway. I went into my room and texted my best friend Ashley.
ME: Hey Ash. The funeral's over, wanna come over now?
ASH: Yeah! Be over in 5.
I'm not usually the type to make friends. Ashley is pretty much my only friend. We met at a school program for kids who have had a parent or close person in their life pass away. I was there because I kind of figured my father had died. Ash's big brother died in a car crash 4 years ago. I felt so bad... But together, we are two of the happiest teenage girls around.
She always knows how to brighten my day.

Not Enough Tears
chapter one..
"Do you have anything to say about how good of a man your father was, Kelli?" My Aunt Miranda asked. I just shook my head and looked down at my feet. I swallowed hard. I couldn't say anything without bursting into tears. I lifted my head and looked one more time at my father's soul-less body. I blew him a kiss, and the men shut the casket and lowered it into the ground. After my parents got a divorce when I was 2, my dad has been struggling to raise me as a normal child. He didn't really succeed, if you ask me. I practically grew up around death, which was definitely not healthy. 7 years ago, when I was 8, I came home from school, expecting my usual milk and cookies that were on the table. There was nothing. I walked all around the house looking for my dad but I couldn't find him. I walked next door, to my Aunt Miranda's house and told her that my father was missing. She looked really worried and called the police. Being 8, I had no idea what was going on, but he was missing for pretty much my life. I lived with my Aunt and still am. They found my father last weekend in a forest in the next town over. I cried that day, where nobody could see me. Before my dad died, he made me promise him that if he ever died, I wouldn't cry at his funeral. It was like he knew he was going to die. Weird.
So here I am, at my missing father's funeral, not crying.
