Book request: SPOILER in the description:I read this book back in 2006 but not sure when it was published. The teen girl was home and her dad was killed by an intruder, I think stabbed. Her dad was either law enforcement, FBI or military. She either hides and there is a time jump or she runs away and goes to the mall to hide from the person. At one point, She steals some stuff from the mall and maybe a car to escape the killer.I think she also has to do community service and while she is doing litter pick up, this van tries to run her over and she jumps from an overpass. The killer drives an old blue van that the narrator says "the front looks like a spaceship" She also talks about how her dad said the best way to hide when you are on the run is weight gain. {SPOILER ALERT}The killer ends up being her stepfather/ mom's boyfriend. She realizes this when she realizes that he has gained weight. I think the cops catch him in the end.
