Dear Diary,

            I have made up my mind; I am going to leave this place for good. I am going to leave by myself and not tell anybody about it so they can’t get punished for my actions. I know with mama being pregnant she can’t be worried. Now I know that people might think that I will just cause mama more stress but in my opinion it will help her more because she won’t have to worry about what other kinds of trouble I will be get into. I don’t think when I leave they will even be sad as a matter of fact I think Darryl will be happy to get rid of me after all that has happened between us. I will leave late night early morning and without looking back make my way to Illinois. I don’t know how I will get there but I definitely will! Got to get some rest; write when I can! Goodnight.

                                                                                                                                    Your friend,

                                                                                                                                                Anna
