I never really thought about if there was life after death until that summer. Now I'm not sure who I really am.

Today, Brooke and I went for a ride around the park near the river. They told me that there is a place we weren't allowed to go. Brooke dared me to go, I wouldn't do it. There is something off about that part of the park, I don't know if it's just the way the light doesn't hit it the same or the way the dead, gloomy trees form a tunnel that seem to go nowhere, but I am never going back there.

Last night, Brooke sent me a text saying we should go back. I told her I wasn't going to and now she hates me. She said that tomorrow, she is going back herself to see what's back there. I'm really worried, she is my best friend and I don't want her to get hurt. Our mom's told us not to go back there though.

Right after school, Brooke left and told me to cover for her while she went exploring. I don't feel like this is right, but what am I going to do? She's been my best friend since daycare! I hope to at least see her again.

I was too sick and worried about Brooke. I couldn't stand to sit in my room and pretend to be with her. I have decided that I am going to go find her and force her to come home. I am going to climb out the window and ride my bike to the park. When I get there, I will hide my bike behind the tall bushes and walk along the edge of the tunnel, I have to make sure I bring a flashlight.
