Jacob's POV

I was looking at the angel in front of me. Her bruse is starting to heal. She had the warmest smile on her face. She will always be beautiful in my eyes.

Her hair was looking beautiful as always. I reached out to touch it. Something about her hair just attracts me.

I got lost in her eyes. It was like she put me in a trance. A girl has never made me feel this way before.

I was caressing her hair and staring at her for a long time.

"Um, Jacob?" She said awkwardly. I stopped and said, "Sorry, it's just your eyes-"

"What's wrong with them?"

"Your eyes are beautiful."

"Oh...um, thanks."

"I'm sorry, am I making you uncomfortable?"

"No, no." And she kissed me.

She said she was thirsty and needed water. She got up and walked out of her room.

I looked around. I decided to look in her drawer. I didn't think it was going to be normal, but I didn't expect everything I saw.

There was a lot of random stuff. Besides that, there were things to harm herself with.

She had band-aids, pairs of scissors, pocket knives, and lighters. She collected them like they were collecters' items. I opened her diary and started reading.

I really wish I could hear my dad's voice again. I miss him every day. I mean, my step dad's nice and all, but no one can replace him. Earlier today, I was on my bed watching videos of me and him and laughing. In the middle of it, I heard a knock on my door. I said, "Come in." It was my stepdad. He came in and smiled at me. I said hi, and he told me I seemed happy. He walked up to me and stood beside me and looked down at me. He smiled and asked what I was looking at, so I put my phone face down. I told him that it was nothing. "Oh, come on, you had to be looking at something." He grabbed my phone from in between my legs. It had already shut off, and he didn't know my password. He gave me my phone back and left. He's nice, but he's annoying sometimes. He does weird shit like this all the time. He's just always worried about what I'm doing and coming in my room. It's almost like he's making excuses to talk to me. Anyways, that's it for today.

I turned the page to the next day.

Today, I came home from school and ran into my room. I immediately fell onto my bed and buried my face into my pillow. I was sobbing my eyes out. Earlier, these two girls named Clare and Chloe were bullying me. I was just trying to ride the bus with my friend Carliegh. They completely humiliated us. I don't know what we ever did to them. They just hate us. They find every chance to bully us. I was home alone, so no one could bother me. My mom and stepdad were at work. They both work later than when I come home from school. He works until 6:00 and she works until 8:00.

Yesterday, when I got home from school, I had a LOT of homework. I had an assignment for math, social studies, and science, and I wanted to finish my essay before tomorrow. I got started at 4:15. I finished my math and social studies, but I struggled with the science. We're learning about the human body, and I'm having trouble with that. It was 5:20, so I decided to just start on my essay. I wrote my essay until my stepdad got home. I went to the door. He complimented my skirt and I told him thank you. Then I asked him if he could help me with my homework. He said yes and followed me upstairs.

I didn't get to finish reading that because she came through the door with her glass of water. When she saw that I went through her drawer and read her diary, she dropped her glass on the ground, and it shattered.
