Third Entry ?

More of a description in this one. You still don't learn much about her.

Yeah I know I skipped yesterday. I’m sorry, I’m sorry. Butter it up for you with all that wonderful crap, but you really don’t want to know about yesterday. It wasn’t too pleasant on the eyes or the ears. You know, I shouldn’t even be writing this… It’s considered wrong in my mind. I guess you guys have no right to know either, but I feel compelled to tell you just a little bit of something. Could you keep a secret if I asked you? Man, what am I saying? You all are reading this. It’s not like you would tell anyone about me and my “problems” that are so various and complicated. So I think maybe just once I can let something slip. Today was bad because mommy and I got into a huge fight. She was yelling at me, yeah. . All that and it hurts to even think of it. You’re probably thinking what? What’s so bad that she’s this upset. Well, mommy and I’s fights aren’t particularly normal. When we fight we get into it. She yells at me that I’m not worth her time and that I don’t appreciate anything. I do appreciate it though is what she doesn’t understand. Today it just went a little too far. I’ll just mention that my cheek is purple. I back-talked her a little too much for her liking; so in turn I got what I “deserved”. You didn’t back-talk momma without dealing with the consequences. Of course, this wasn’t the first time it had happened. In fact, it happened quite often, but don’t tell anyone that it did. I always have an excuse to where I get the bruises from. Never from mommy though because I would pay the price. Now shush, don’t tell anyone about this. It’ll be the secret you can keep. Okay? Don’t worry about me though if you’re thinking about it. This wasn’t anything and I would rather you didn’t worry about someone like me. It’s not really worth it.  I’m just fine now since I’m in here writing. Seems like this is the only escape I can get from what I deal with outside of my world. This journal was like a saving grace, or hero. Oh, and if you thought the little “scene” I described earlier was bad. That wasn’t all that happened today.  Of course, I think I’ve told you enough of what happened as it is. Hopefully mommy doesn’t come in and read this after I’ve went to bed. I’d be in deep s**t if she did. Excuse my French in that last sentence. It was needed though. So, now that you know a little bit about me does it spark your curiosity?  Does it make you want to know more about me? What I look like, what I do when I’m not writing in this? (I do have a life you know)I could tell you some of these things, but first you’ll need to tell me about yourself. I know I’ll probably never read it, and it’s pointless. But the next couple pages are going to be blank with space so you can write something about yourself. Don’t be shy! I’m pretty sure I’ll like you if you’re still sticking around to read this. Especially after telling you that secret and I have great respect for you if you haven’t set it down. I know I’m not the most interesting person, and I probably complain a little too much sometimes. But yeah, it would make this worth it if someone learned from my mistakes. I’m kind of getting tired now, and I have school in the morning. I’ll try to write in this every night. I think it’s helping me more to cope with my mommy and her “problems”. I think I’ll leave it on that note. Good night my reader. Make sure to fill in the space and remember this. I won’t tell you my name.

Author's Note

Does anyone want to be the fill-in character or should I make it up myself?

Very intriguing journal/story. I can't wait for more, and this journal response idea... I really like it. I feel that having someone else write the second character might detract from your story, but I guess that is how it would be if anyone let a stranger write in their journal. They have no idea where the pages ahead are going.

Keep up the good work!
