Chicago Fire Department's Newbie

Taylor's Journal

*Kim's POV*
I launch myself off of the bench dropping Taylor's phone on the ground like its on fire. I sprint pass Burgess and bolt out the door of the precinct. Flying through the streets, I remember something. Taylor, he kept a book that he was always writing in somewhere in his room. I turn around facing the way to Taylor's house when I see my brothers car pull up in front of me.
"Get in." Jay says
"No thanks," I reply, "I have to get to Taylor's house. There's something I need to get."
"Get in the car. We need to talk."
"As I said before, I have to go to Taylor's house."
"Look get in, I'll drive you there." I look at Jay skeptically for a minute. Will he really drive me there? "C'mon." I get in the car and Jay drives off in the direction of Taylor's house.

*Kim's POV*

As I step out of the car I look at the house still in the same condition as before. I walk up the path  towards the door and twist the handle. Thoughts rush through my head. I should have made him tell someone. I should have found a way to save him. But its all too late now. I walk into the house and run up the stairs to Taylor's room.

"What are you looking for?" Jay asks.

"Shh!" I say not even glancing at him, "I'm trying to think." I search through Taylor's draws... nothing. I look in his cupboard... nothing. I turn around wondering where it could be. The bed! I lift up the mattress and find "his journal."

"Whats that?" Jay asks as I open it and flip through the pages.

"Taylor's Journal." I say not looking up, eyes scanning the pages.

"Why do you need that?" he asks as  we walk to the car.

"Taylor was always writing in it. There has to be something in it something about why he was suddenly pushed over the edge." I say as Jay starts to drive off.

Jay glances at me, "Kimberley..." He says warily.

"Look Jay, i know more about this situation than you do so just drop it Ok." As I say this I flick to the last entry. 3 minutes before he killed himself.

'Dear Dad and my friends,

Sometimes its really hard to go on and I have decided that today is the last day that I go on forever. I'm a nothing no one will care when i'm gone. I'm just a little useless boy. My mom was right to hurt me, i deserved it. She keeps telling me that dad would spend more time with her if i wasn't around and that i'm to needy. She's right though I should just disappear no one would care. I deserved not being fed. At least it would end this pain. So today i say good bye to the world.   I will always love you guys even if you didn't feel the same way. I know some of you kept saying to tell someone but i'm just not strong enough. Please whoever finds this go and tell my dad don't just ring him up. I'm doing this to end the pain and please my mom.

I love you dad.

Love Taylor.'

Attached was a flash drive. I pulled it of and handed the book to Jay. "Here read this."  I say as we pull up to the district.
