dear diary

this is my forty-fourth week in high school and i'm still fading away. 

landon came in and brought me a dress and shoes.

even though he knew that i can't go to the prom.

which he understood without asking any questions.

he also gave me a Christmas gift.

and opening it, i cut my finger with wrapping paper. 

landon: will i see you tomorrow?

me: what do you mean by that?

landon: i-i mean y-you look very dead to me

me: thanks i guess

landon: you didn't answer my question, mary

me: i don't have any answers, otherwise i would say

landon: you're lying to me! 

me: yes, i'm sorry

landon: don't be, i'm dealing with it

me: and i love you for it
