Final Update

In the final 130 pages of Burned Pattyn is curios about what went on between Kevin and Aunt J and wants to know if they're going to get back together and wonders why they never tried to get back together before. Aunt J said it was because they both moved on and ended up getting married to other people, and now they are both single. Kevin and Aunt J started seeing each other again shortly after.

Jackie wrote Pattyn letters sporadically while she was staying with Aunt J letting her know how things at home were going. The last letter that Pattyn got from Jackie told her how their father had went from just beating their mother to beating her and their mother, and his drinking problem had spun out of control. She also told her that mother was fatter than ever. She was really upset with her father from what she heard in the letter and in a way wanted to be home with Jackie. Later that week her father called to say that her was going to come pick her up the Saturday before school started. Aunt J told him that she had a friend going to Reno that could give her a ride and he agreed.

Aunt J gave Pattyn a cell phone before she left so she could call anytime she wanted. Ethan gave her a pistol for protection in case her dad got out of control. Ethan was "Aunt J's friend that was going to Reno," so Pattyn and him could spend as much time together as possible. When they reached Pattyn's house they said their good-bye's and Ethan left. She went inside and realized that things were about the same as they were when she left except for what Jackie told her about. Her family acted as though she never left. At dinner that night she back talked her father and he started hitting her repetitively in the back. After dinner Pattyn and Jackie waited until everyone in the house had went to bed and then started talking about what it was like at Aunt J's and about Ethan.

When she started school again, she went back to the old Pattyn. As time went by she realized that it had been a while since she had her last period and began to think that she was pregnant. She went to the store and got a pregnancy test and it came out positive. She told Ethan and he planned to come pick her up from school that Thursday and she would leave with him and he would take care of everything. Word got out around the school about Pattyn being pregnant and her mother found out in no time. She denied everything and her mother believed her. When Ethan picked her up from school, a boy that liked Pattyn wrote down the license plate number on Ethan's truck and in no time there was a cop following them with his lights on. The roads were really bad and when Ethan tried to speed up to lose the cop, the truck went out of control and they wrecked.

When Pattyn came to her senses in the hospital she was informed that Ethan and the baby didn't make it. She was devastated. She planned to kill all of the people that ruined her life, but only if her father would tell her he loved her she wouldn't carry out her plan, but she knew he wouldn't...
