Dear Diary...

Entry Thirteen

Dear Opal's Diary,
She died today. My little sister Opal died today, it should have been me. I can't believe she has been taken away from her life so quick, she had a beautiful one. If there is a god, why did you take her? Why did she have to leave us? She had so much to give, and you took it away. I read her other entries, she really did love Tane. I said he could have her diary, but he said not just yet. Tane said to keep it alittle longer, I will do as he says. He loved Opal just as much as I did, no, he LOVES Opal just as much as I DO. Her funeral is next week, the only people that are going are: Me, mum, dad, our family, Sky and Tane. She would have wanted them to go, Sky and Tane. Mum asked if Tane wanted to speak at the funeral, he said no. I'm going to speak insted, tell everyone how wonderful Opal was. And tell them she shouldn't have been taken away at such a young age. We will all cry, but Tane will cry the most. I love my sister, and she should be here with me.

Dear Diary,
She died today. Opal got killed by one of the boys on my soccer team, he had got drunk and coward punched her last night. She died at two in the morning, today. She is gone, and I'm all alone. I've been crying all day, and still am. Sky has tried to calm me down, but she hasn't been able to stop crying either so I don't know why anyone wants to stop me. If there is a god, I hate you. You took my love away and I won't ever forgive you, I hate you more than authors killing your favourite character. Opal's sister Megan read me one of her diary entries, I didn't even know Opal had a diary, and I cried. A lot. She loved me, and I love her. But I will never be able to tell her, because of that one stupid person. Her funeral is next week, Megan invited me and Sky. I will finally be able to meet her family, but not in the way I wanted to. Opal's mum asked me if I wanted to speak at her funeral, I said no. If I went up there I would have just started crying, Megan will speak insted. She will tell everyone how wonderful Opal was, and tell them she shouldn't have been taken away at such a young age. They will all cry, but I bet I will cry the most. Opal, I will try and be strong, but my strength was you and you aren't here anymore. I love you with all my heart Opal, "It's not the goodbye that hurts, but the flashbacks that follow."
