Diary of Rachael Woods.

Marie
     I 💗  U.

Marie + Rachael.

I will protect you.

24TH MARCH, 2024


Dear Diary,

     He and I made it here. I love the farmhouse already. It feels like the perfect place to do it, but I still can’t figure out how I would do it without raising suspicions. Sometimes I’m stuck between love and revenge. Now I’m trapped in a dilemma. I didn’t know there was such a thin line between love and hate.

     I know I should hate Alec for what he did to us, but sometimes I find myself deviating from it. No wonder Marie fell in love with him and couldn’t live without him. But unlike Marie, I wouldn’t commit suicide because of a man. I wished I had been there for her and protected her from Alec. I told her the dangers of falling in love with a city man, but she wouldn’t listen. I failed Marie. I failed my little sister.

     Alec has to pay. I’ll make sure of it. Every time he gets close to me and tells me how much he loves me, I get cold feet. It’s easy to get lost in this big world just like Marie, but I wouldn’t.

     Sometimes I wished I hadn’t embarked on this twisted journey of revenge and let sleeping dogs lie, but I owed this to Marie. She’s the reason I’m doing this. I can’t quit now. I’d have to see my plan through.

I 💗 my sister.

I failed HER.

1:30 P.M.

Dear Dairy,

     I’m learning new things about Alec. He left Marie because her Mom didn’t approve of her, just like she didn’t like me when we had dinner at their house. I overheard their conversation, and I can’t stop hating the Bergers. They destroyed our perfect family. I lost my only sister because of them. After Mom and Dad abandoned us, I promised to protect Marie. She was so fragile. I failed.

     I can’t stop feeling like a loser. The more reason I have to exact my revenge. Marie, I wish you were here. Only if you had listened to me and broken up with him, we could’ve still been together. But maybe it was my fault. I didn’t try harder to protect you from this cruel world.

8:00 P.M.


Dear Diary,

Alec is asleep and I snuck out to write this. I can’t sleep by his side without wanting to smother him with a pillow.

Today the urge is overwhelming, and I don’t think I can sleep in the same bed with him. Every day the compulsion to kill him intensifies. If I give in and do it without a proper plan, I could end up in prison, especially when her Mom doesn’t like me. If something happens to Alec, she’d blame me. I need to do this by the book. I can’t afford to make any mistakes.

I thought I would have it figured out once we got to the farmhouse, but we’re here and I still don’t know how to do it. I won’t give up yet because I know why I’m doing this. I owe it to Marie. She deserves to get justice.
