Turns out that my arm is fractured and it needs surgery which would cost a fortune. Derrick messaged my parents about this but they said that they can't pay for the surgery and that they have to buy stuff for the triplets who were born yesterday and that they don't really care about me. Derrick then messed HIS parents who said that they really wish that they could have helped but they can't provide that much money as derrick's dad just lost his job and now they don't have enough money to even pay the rent.
Derrick suggests going to a government hospital but the government hospitals here don't do surgeries. I have taken leave from school. I won't go to school until my arm is alright.
Derrick and I are sitting on the bed. Derrick is messaging his aunts and uncles to help us. None of them are replying except aunt Sienna who said that she is completely bankrupt and can't even pay for 2 meals a day!
Derrick has no pocket money and I was never given any by my parents. We are struggling to get food to eat coz there is nothing except oil left in the house. The pans and pots are all broken because when we had gone to the doctor, freya had come to my house, broken the door and smashed all the pots and pans and neither of us know how to fix them. No one can fine or arrest Freya as her dad is the head police officer of the whole state.
Derrick is recommending selling some of the furniture to get some money but I called him crazy and said that his parents would kill him. Derrick tells me that being killed by his parents is better than killed by hunger and the pain of my fracture. Besides, he says that his parents would be fine with selling furniture because it is the only option left for us to get money to survive. Begging is not an option because derrick's mom had strictly told him to never beg on the streets unless it's the last hope. I reluctantly agreed and now it's bedtime so bye and more tomorrow.

Dear journal,
It's 4:00 am right now and I didn't get a wink of sleep because of what just happened!
At 3:00am when Derrick had fallen asleep I went downstairs to get some water when the picture of derrick's late great-aunt started glowing and a ghostly figure which looked like the woman in the painting came out of it
And snatched my empty glass and filled it up with water and gave it back to me. She even told me that to get money for my surgery, I should wake up at 3:00 am Tommorow and go to the local graveyard and up the oldest grave to find the treasure of the spirits and I could use it to pay for the surgery. The problem was I could only dig up one grave and if I dug up the wrong one....I'd die on spot. I wanted to go wake Derrick up and tell him about this but he had struggled to fall asleep after worrying himself sick I didn't want to wake him up. I can't fall asleep because of my fear and I'm writing this by candle light as switching on the bedroom light will surely wake Derrick up.

Omg! Derrick and I went to the graveyard and after looking at the graves we picked one that looked oldest and it was the correct one! It took us 1 hr to dig up the the treasure as it was buried very deep. I dug with my left hand (and nearly broke it) and Derrick used both hands. We both used the shovels from the shed in the garden. Tommorow we will get the surgery done. Both of us are at the graveyard right now and we're working on our journals. Today was a really good day as Derrick and I spent the morning watching tv and cuddling on the couch. In the afternoon we did the same thing and evening was spent story writing. Derrick and I are working on a story and it's really funny. I'm very hungry as I haven't eaten anything in days!
Cuddling with Derrick is one of the best things in life! Actually Derrick is the only person who hugs me and cares for me.

Today I got the surgery early in the morning. I'm so glad my arm is good again! We also used some of the treasure to get some food to eat. We got a dozen buns and a bunch of bananas. We also got a dozen eggs and a watermelon.
I'm really sad now because I'm sure that I won't get anyone to go to prom with. The prom date has been preponed and it's on 15/9/2023. I went to school today nad no one bullied me as Julia, the new girl, Freya, and Freya's brother were absent. Freya's mom went blind so she was staying at home to 'cry'.
Today a cringe guy tried to ask me out but I would rather be single for life than date that weirdo.
