Lucas went to jail today. He was proven guilty in a heartbeat. No one truly believed his story about my father telling him to do so, but I can't get the image of the man I saw walking around near the treehouse out of my head. He had the same characteristics as Lucas described my father to have. I guess I'll never truly know until I go into the forest myself.

Chris finally stopped being such a tool, I guess he was scared straight. Same with all of his friends. I'll never trust or have any respect for Chris though, not after what he did to Mia when they were dating.

Tommy's been going to therapy due to his sleep walking/talking and anxiety. He's been doing a lot better since the day he started, he's a lot more calm.

Mia's been Mia. Except, she's a better version of Mia. She and I are closer than ever now, and I couldn't be happier.

The whole town feels a lot safer now, and everyone has a new-found respect for me. They all thought I was a lovestruck, shy little girl who would never do anything to put her boyfriend in jeopardy, but now they think of me as the town hero!

And as for my dad, I don't know if he's alive. I don't know if I'll ever find him. But one thing's for sure.

I will never stop looking.
