Elyse always had anger issues. This was nothing unusual, especially for her. But it was worse than usual today. She nearly punched a hole in the wall. If I could tell dad, I would. But I couldn't because he was asleep again. I'll see you tomorrow if I make it through the night.

She got pills. I'm not sure what their for, but she said it'll help her. The nightmares came again. Winnifred will protect me, I know he will. I talked to Elyse and she said she doesn't want to be Elyse since that was the name dad gave her, so I'm calling her Rose now. I dunno why she doesn't like dad. I don't think he's so bad, but she's a teen and she hates everyone, even me. I'll try to talk tomorrow.

Rose said that she was having a problem sleeping because of the pill she took. But that she was feeling a bit less angry than before. That's nice. I spelt they're wrong yesterday, but that's ok since I'm only six. The nightmares weren't as bad, since I kept Winnifred closeby. He's protecting me I think. I'm glad.

Rose started using her foxy mask to scare me. She also said that she's not Rose anymore, she's Carry. I can call her that. I'm glad she tells me when she likes a name and wants to use it, I don't want to make her sad. Winnifred is protecting me because he follows me around town when I go without him. I see him in flower beds and windows. I think he's trying to get to me.

Carry said that she's not a girl anymore, and to call her Mikel. I'm okay with that. He also cut his hair. Dad's not happy, but that's not my problem. Sometimes dad gets mad at me and I get scared. When he drinks that brown water, he gets really angry and yells at me and Mikel. Mikel said he never got mad at Lizzy, but she died when I was just a baby so I don't know. Mom hasn't been at the house for a while. I wonder where she is. The last time I saw her she said to just go back to sleep and not worry. I'm sad. Without mom, Winnifred can only protect me and that's not enough to protect me from dad. I'm really tired too since I'm not getting right sleep. Luckily I can nap during the day since there's no school. I'll see you tomorrow.

Tomorrow is my birthday party! But I couldn't find Winnifred so I was really scared. The nightmares were big and had lots of teeth! I cried but noone was there to help. Mike said I was spelling his name wrong and it's spelt like this:
Michael
So I'll spell it like that from now on. I'm not good at spelling words I haven't learned. But now I've learned that word and I'll be good at it. Michael also keeps scaring me with his foxy mask. Jumping out from the TV, under my bed, out of closets. I'm scared of foxy now. Dad got really mad when he found out I was calling Elyse "Michael". He yelled and threw things at me and Michael. I have a big bruise on my head now. Mom came back yesterday during the night, so that's good. She was holding a big heavy bag of metal. She was also sad and walking funny. I wish I knew what was inside. Michael stopped taking his pills and got angry at dad. I'm in my room now, I found Winnifred so I'm hiding. Winnifred is protecting me. I'll be seven years old tomorrow!

Hey, Evan's diary. It's me, Michael. So, uh, you might be wondering where he went. Um... Well, he's gone. How did he go? ...Me. I killed him. By accident! I... I wish I hadn't. I know how much I meant to him. He probably feels betrayed now. If he remembers me. I've heard when people die, they lose their memories so their angels don't have a bunch of sadness or guilt to carry for eternity. Is that true, Evan? If so, you might not remember your name. Or you might not remember because of your head injury. Those can be brutal. Evvie, if you can see this, or if you're watching, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for it all. I was angry for no reason and I felt embarrassed because my friends were around, and I'm an angsty teen with no outlet. Well... I guess I have no real excuse. I should go take one of those pills now. I don't want that to happen again. I don't want to hurt any of my friends. Evvie was my friend. Do you know Winnifred, Evan's plush bear? He claimed it followed him and talked to him. Obviously, I used to think that's a silly idea and that he's delusional. But since his death, I've been seeing the plush everywhere, too. In windows, on shelves, in flowerbeds around the city. I just want to escape. I just want to forget. I feel like crap and everything is ending. And dad's not helping, he's congratulating me. Why? I'm sad, and I thought he would be too, but... He's not sad at all. I wish this never happened. I wish
-Michael
