Dear Diary,

On my 10th birthday, my mom gave me a ring, she said that 'no matter where I am, I'm always there by your side' and the doctor came in said that my mom had 6 months to live, my Older Brother Ollie hugged mom and cried.

6 months passed and mom was given a peaceful funeral.

Ollie committed suicide, my grandpa knew this, and I went to his house and stayed there. My grandpa is very warm and kind, he would always buy me everything I want, he gave me a yellow teddy bear, he said that 'when you're feeling blue, always remember that grandpa will be there to make your day as bright as yellow'.

One day grandpa didn't come home, later that day the policemen came to our house and said grandpa got shot. Grandpa, I feel blue, why aren't you here, you promised you'll be there, why aren't you here, please help me.

My aunt took me in, she would treat me like mom did, she said that my mom and she made a promise to take care of me, I hugged her very tightly and sobbed very hard.

My 13th birthday came in and my father went to my aunt's house, they were arguing about something, my father came into my room and packed my stuff, he says that I'm moving in his house, I don't want to move, why did you leave me? why did you come back just now? all I did is nod.

I live with my dad now, my stepmom and my stepsis are both bitches. my stepmom would get mad if I didn't do her chores and when my stepsis cries she hits me and shouts at me even though it wasn't my fault. and when my dad is present she's a completely different person.

I miss mom and grandpa, I look at my ring and the yellow teddy my grandpa gave me, I smiled and cried. Mommy, Grandpa I miss you two very much.

I stayed up all night, eyes read, knees weak, mom's spaghetti. Despite all that, she still manages to smile, as I turn to the next page I read.

There is this one boy I met in a ski park, we got lose and he protected me from a wolf, that's all I remember.

Wonder who could that boy be, Asuka who could you be? then I fell asleep.
