The Diary of Maria Di Angelo

Ripped Date..

If only such Insanity didn't break loose. Nico just barely turned 11 (10 because of the war) and Bianca Barley 12 (it's like normal weather, not too hot nor too cold. One of those gloomy days) . I could've been there to do something. I was blind. I remember not soon after I tried to Tell Nico and Bianca the truth. I was Called. Called by Bronte..

"Yes, Hi Maria. I think you have Well..You might want to be careful"

"What are You talking about? Who is this?"

"It's your friend Bronte! I know we haven't spoken in a while. But look, Some things are pretty rough in both Olympus and The underworld. Whatever you do, you can't and I mean Can't hint or even hint at anything. Heck I even heard Atlantis is getting more interested in these times....in terms of Ideologies that is.."

"What in the world are you talking about,"

"I'm talking about the monsters of Tartarus...They're coming for you and Your kids Maria.."

That had to be the most terrifying thing I've ever Heard. I called down the kids. It was no longer safe to be in the house. I didn't know where to go so I headed to Church. My peers All greeted me. But then Confused. "uhh..Maria..Those are you kids?"

"I- yes-"

"Where is the father?"

"Oh no-

It wasn't nice, the experience was heartbreaking "You Disgrace. You Filthy Pagan"

"Mommy! Why are they being mean!" Bianca Yelled. This was starting to sound like A cult. Niccolò was so confused or scared he hugged me. As if I was going to be burnt to the stake... "No no- it's -

"You're trying to be the mother and Father Di angelo? Disgusting" I could've believed it. This quote on quote church is none other than a facility to shame Women who are in Hard situations. They force women to be Mothers and then shaming them into being the Only thing they now are, A mother.

I ran out of there. And began to cry. Bianca and Niccolò tried to comfort me. Then I heard a Car. And I recognize it. "Amanda"

"Get It.." she timidly saids. "What but-

"I SAID GET IN."

We all did. I was in the front. "I...Got into a Fight with Alfredo" she explained , "what happened? .."

I Say looking Back at Bianca and Nico (the changed it to this). Then Back at Amanda "What happened? .."

"...We are splitting up"

This news took me by surprise. "Divorce? No Amanda-

"Relax! We aren't. I can't afford that! We are just living in different houses. Living with some relatives until we..until we think we can get back together.."

"...oh man Amanda-

"Whatever Maria, Just be thankful..You have a husband who actually cares.." she muttered. Bianca and Niccolò hugged each other. I can tell they felt The not so bright but rather bitter feeling of just being sent out like this.. "Amanda..I- H isn't so simple Either you know. Yes I love him but- but look- the point is- Please don't Divorce- don't give up on your marriage- what about Cynthia?"

"That's the thing we argued about.."

I felt my Gut kick. "She was very silent. Today..She was in her room..But then was gone..like she ran away.."

"Oh my-"

"We don't know where she went"

"Did you call the police?"

"Yes! They are looking for her! But still- I-" she actually started to tear up, "Maria what did I do wrong? What did I do for you to hate me and Alfredo so much?.."
