Wild Secrets

23 - UNEXPECTED

I decided to wait for him in his room for about fifteen minutes. I decided to roam around his place when I got bored sitting alone in the corner.

I noticed that there's already a luggage on his bed. It looks like he's in the middle of packing when he left. Clothes are on his bed and his luggage is wide open. I noticed that there's something on his desk. It's a notebook filled with notes. Might as well consider it as a planner. It's lying down on his desk, open. I decided to come closer to it to read what's written recently.

It's like a planner but not even close to a Starbucks planner. It doesn't have any dates but it's hardbound. It's also a thick but it seems that a lot pages were already torn and some pages are folded. It's one of the messiest notebook I have ever seen. I got closer. I read the notes on the page where it is open.

Date today.

Go to LSGH and act nice towards Waldsworth to attract media.

Talk to my kid as well about the plan.

Day didn't go as planned. I almost had fight with Levine Strom today and I found out that Shantel is leaving for

I realized that it's actually cut. Something stopped him from writing the next words. It also explain why his ball pen was left open. I decided to read the rest of it starting from the beginning.

I read a lot about business meeting and traveling across the globe. All he cares about was actually work. I realized that the notebook started like five years ago. All his plans were written. I also read some about the investigation about my mom. He's been investigating Mrs. Green for so long now.

I decided to open the notebook to the first page.

"Dear Gregory,

I love you with all my heart! I want you to write everything that has happened to you here! Okay? Happy birthday Greg! Do your best at whatever you do."

It was from mom. Her initials are written after the message. It means this notebook is very old. My dad might have kept it then started writing five years ago.

I read the next couple pages.

7.23.06

Positive with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and Paranoia.

I was stunned by the note I just read. I can't believe that my dad is positive with mental illness. I don't want to believe this but the next following pages are check ups with his doctor, Dr. Coleman. I want this information to be erased in my head but I just couldn't. I regret reading his planner because at some point, he'll get mad at me for this is his private space.

Suddenly, I heard the door opened so I had to move away from the book. I returned the position of the page first before moving away. I expected it to be my father but it was a middle aged woman. "Who are you!?" she asked. "I should be the one asking you!" Then without permission, she took my bag from me. I stopped her but I think she already have what she wants, my phone. She opened the lock screen, and we both saw a lot of missed calls. I don't recognize the number but I think she did. She looked at me and examined me from top to bottom, I felt annoyed. She suddenly hugged me. "I'm sorry."

"What sorry!?" I suddenly her sobbing. I grabbed her by her shoulders and moved her to face me.

"I'm Dr. Gaile, your dad's psychiatrist." She introduced.

"What happened to my dad?!"

"He's dead."
