Dear Diary,

The police are here now. Something horrible has happened.

I didn’t mean for it to go this far. I just wanted to leave.

I had a plan. He was part of it. I mean, God, not forever.

Like I would ever really be with him. Gross.

But then it all just got out of control and then I found out I was, you know. And then I really needed the money.

And now she’s telling me to lie to protect her. For once, I want to tell the truth. But I won’t. The way she looked at me told me if I do I’ll be sorry.
