Dear Diary

" hate you!" Kay screamed at her mom, "All you ever do is ruin my life, You don't even care about me!" Kay ran off crying to her room before her mom could say anything.

"Dear?" her mom said softly through the door, "Can we talk?"

"Go away!" Kay said. Turning her music up full blast she grabbed her old diary. "Man, I haven't written in here for a while." she thought to herself. Fumbling with the key she finally got it unlocked. As she was pulling the key out of the lock she dropped her diary. Reaching down to pick it up a word on the page it opened to caught her eye. "Darren White. Wow I used to have such a crush on him." she thought. Picking up the diary she settled down on her bed to read the page.

Dear Diary,

Darren smiled at me!!! I thought I was so going to faint. I would just be so nervous is he ever asked me out. I'd probably just ruin the whole night! But hey we both know he would never ask a nobody like me out. We all have our dreams though.

Kay

Kay smiled as she flipped ahead a few pages. Eyeing another entry about Darren she stopped to read it.

Dear Diary,

I finally got up the courage to ask Darren out today. I saw him at his locker so I went over and said hi. He just looked at me and said "Do I know you?" That almost discouraged me from asking him out but not quite. I just told him we were in math together and all he said was "Oh yeah. What do you want?" That's when I asked him. He just looked at me like I was a creature from outer space and said "No, I would never be seen with you." I felt like I was going to die. What an asshole. Screw him. I don't need him. I'm sure there's a million guys out there who would love to be seen with me. Just hope I find one soon.

Kay

Looking around her room Kay thought "Yeah. You know what? I still have no one who loves me. No friends, no dad and my mom doesn't even care about me. Kay started to skim the rest of the entries until she came to the last one she wrote. It was from two months ago right after her dad died.

Dear Diary,

The worst thing imaginable just happened, my dad died. He was going home from work and he crashed into another car. I was told he fell asleep at the wheel and died on impact. I miss him so much!!!! Now I have to go and live with my mother. I haven't seen her since I was eight. That's seven years ago! What if she doesn't like me? I guess I'll find out soon though. I'm leaving in two weeks. I'm scared.

Kay

Kay started crying again. "I still miss him. He meant the world to me," she thought, "I want to join him to matter what it takes." Kay quietly snuck int the kitchen after checking to see where she mom was. She was sitting in front of the tv like always. Grabbing the car keys she slipped out the back door to the car. After driving a few blocks away she spotted another car. "I'll be with you soon dad," she said as she slammed on the gas and hit the other car.
