It's been a couple weeks since the whole situation with Miss Swan and her birthdays today. I made her a little card and got her, her favorite candy even though she's not talking to me right now. Today I decided to wear a pink top with white pants and some sandals.

Once we get to school I meet Sherwood, Anna, and Edie in the cafeteria. Bell didn't come today since she had a doctor's appointment sadly. Today just seems to fly by like any other day. Before I know it it's Miss Swans class period so I walk in and sit down. She still continues to ignore me. I don't know but ever since she got with Micheal she just seems so depressed.

After class ends I walk up to her desk and place the card with her favorite candy on her desk. "Happy Birthday." I say. "Thank you." She says as she still doesn't turn to look at me. So I just walk away. Once we get home mama says she wants to go eat at this restaurant. While we're in the car Bell texts me.

Bell💗: Hey have you talked to Miss Swan lately aunt Jamie says she's been ignoring her and won't talk to her

Brooklyn: No I haven't she's been ignoring me too..

Bell💗: That's weird your like her favorite person ever

Brooklyn: I know

When we're eating I just seem to forget about Miss Swan for a little while. But then when we go back home I start to worry about her again. But this is so stupid she's the one who doesn't want to talk to me or her best friend. Something really must be wrong.

I get up before my alarm this morning and start getting ready. Today I just wear a sweatshirt with some jeans and my converses since is getting colder. When I get to school I met my friends like always and they seem to cheer me up. You know Sherwood with his stupid jokes.

Then what was my favorite class turned into the one I dreaded to go to. Miss Swans class. Me and Bell walk in and sit down. We talk some before Miss Swan gets up and starts talking. Today she's wearing a white top with a nude sweater and some pants with her hair down.

"Alright today we're gonna work on figures of speech." She says. She begins to teach and I notice that under her sweater you can slightly see a bruise on her arm. "Brooklyn do you see that." Bella whispers in my ear. "I just nod my head and she doesn't say anything else.

He's hitting her.

He's hitting her.

He's hitting her.

Lord...

The bell rings and people start packing up. "Are you going to talk to her?" Bella ask. "Yes." I reply. When everyone leaves I walk up to her desk. I try to hug her. "Don't touch me." She says as she moves away from me. I try to touch her arm where I seen the bruise. She grabs my wrist and pushes it down harshly.

"Abigail is he hitting you." I ask with concern.

"You need to move on Brooklyn, I've moved on from this friendship and you should to. Now get out of my room right now". She says angrily.

I just walk out. How can she say that. What happen to not ever wanting to not have each other in our lives. I feel tears stream down my face. "Jesus help me." I whisper. I wipe my tears and go to Miss Falls class. Today we have a sub so we're just doing nothing really besides make up work and I don't have any missing work.

When I get home I immediately go to wash and listen to my Jesus music cause that's what helps my on rough days. I listen to Praise You in This Storm by Casting Crowns and Don't You Give up on me by Brandon Lake. When I get out of the shower I read my Bible. Tonight I read Psalm 55:22 "Cast your burden on the LORD, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved."
