Dear Diary,
I’m in trouble. Mom grounded me until I turn 18. Yes, I’ll be 18 by the end of summer, but all that means s that I’ grounded for the whole summer. Not like it matters anyway.
Grounded or not, I still have no plans. Actually, that’s a lie, I planned on shopping for a new wardrobe over summer, but I guess I can’t now. So I guess this summer is going to be like any other summer, working at the library. At least I’ll be able to save up all my money. Just like I did ever year…
Anyways, I’m grounded because I lie to my parents… And other things. But I told them I was going to the graduation party, but instead I went to the willow. It was weird though, I swear I saw someone else there. It looked more like a shadow or something, but I for sure wasn’t just seeing things. I know it.
So at the graduation party, apparent there was an attack and a bomb went off. My parents called me like a thousand times and I didn’t answer because I fell asleep.
I get why they were mad, they were worried about me. But they have to know I don’t have friends. I refuse to believe they think otherwise. I was never invited to anyone’s birthday parties, or asked to prom or any school dances, and I was always home if not at school. So what made them think I wanted to g to the party?
The party wasn’t the only thing I lied about. I didn’t tell them about my abilities. Or where I was, or how I got there. I didn’t tell anyone. I already had a target on my back for being different, I didn’t need a bigger one.
Dad got really mad. He yelled at me and told Mom to use her ability to go through my memories. The thought of her going through my head was terrifying. She would see everything. All the bullying, the torment, the self hate and heart break. She’d see it all. So I told them I would take them to where I was instead. Anything was better than that.
Apparently the willow was in the Forbidden Woods. It was supposedly so dangerous to the point Mom threatened to bind me here to prevent me from going back. And as much as I loved that place, I know Mom doesn’t make empty threats. So I’m not going back.
