Dear Diary,
Hey it’s me. I am trying to decide what to do; if I want to go with mama, daddy, Darryl, and the rest of my friends or if I want to stay with Amy. Amy fears that if I stay and her parents and brother find out that mama and everyone else escaped and I am there she is scared about what they will do to me. I want to go with mama and everyone but I am scared that if we do get caught what they will do to us even more if we just stay here. I was talking to Darryl today and I told him my worries about this and he said that he was worrying too but we have to trust mama and daddy on this. “I’m still scared Darryl but I will try to trust them but if in any way I feel threatened then I am staying here and NOT coming with you guys and I don’t care what you guys say!” I told Darryl. Darryl said “I know and if I end up getting scared then and if you stay here then I will stay with you and when we get old enough then we will escape when we are ready, but I don’t want you staying here by yourself. I don’t care if I have to leave the family because you’re my little sister and I will do anything to protect you. Okay? Now go get some sleep and we will talk more about this tomorrow. “Goodnight, Anna. Love you” “Goodnight, Darryl. Love you too.” I told him when I was half asleep and that was the last word anyone heard that night.
Your Friend,
Anna
