Dear Diary,
School has been horrible. I have no friends, well... other than Cole. Does that even count? I don't even think he is a real friend... I mean think about it, is a friend supposed to never talk to you unless you need help? Yes, he talks to me of course, but only to check on me. And to top today off, Chelsea was being a big brat today and told the teacher that I was passing notes and now I have to mop the cafeteria after lunch for two weeks! Two weeks! She doesn't even know what's going on at home. You don't either. Well, mom and dad are getting a divorce. And now they are fighting over custody and I don't know what to do. I mean, I'm almost eighteen, I'm going to college next year, why is this all about me? They are the ones signing the papers anyways. Why can't they just stop thinking about themselves and at least stayed together until I left? Oh and that's not all! I don't know what i'm majoring in or what college to go to! So if you think senior year is easy? Think again! Plus I just got fired from my job and I don't know what i'm going to do now. My life is insane. I mean why am I telling you this? I doubt you even care!
Sincerely,
Lacey
So that happened today and I'm so stressed out, that I can't even think. I mean it's just so selfish of Mom and Dad to fight over this. I wish they knew how much this is tearing me up, but anxiety has me in a choke-hold. I haven't even told them about Chelsea.
Speak of the devil. Chelsea shoves me against a locker and punches me in the gut and says, "So.... Where's Prince Charming, huh?" Everyone just turned and stared at me, even the teachers! I was so embarrassed I didn't even go to my next class because I was in the bathroom crying I thought to myself 'this is so embarrassing'. I walked out of the bathroom and passed Chelsea who is crying.
"What happened?"
"My parents got in a serious car wreck and my little sister was with them. My parents are ok but they think my baby sister has brain damage."
"I'm so sorry Chelsea"
"Why? I've been nothing but a jerk to you."
"Because I understand what it feels like to be heartbroken."
I understand, you may think no one knows how it feels, but I have realized that some people do understand. My parents are getting a divorce and I never even saw this coming, it was unexpected. But I just put it in God's hands because only he can fix this. Is there anything else I can do to help you?"
"That's all. Thank you so much!"
