Dear diary,
Today is May 5, 1994. I locked myself in my room almost all day because mom and dad were arguing, it made me sad. I heard mom crying then dad yelled and moms crying suddenly stopped. I wanted to go check but I didn't want dad to hurt me. He only does it because he loves us. I just graduated the 5th grade today, next year I start middle school and I'm very excited. My best friend Steph and I already planned out matching outfits for the first day of school. I'm going to head to bed as I have school tomorrow and most likely will be walking... every time they argue, neither of them wake up to drive me to school. So I just walk.
