Why can't I be with him?

February 31, 1999

Dear Diary,

I haven't written in you lately. A lot has happened since. I can't even think where to begin. Three and I are together. I can't believe it! It feels so surreal like I'm one of those girls in romance novels, you know? I layed in bed for about 2 hours just thinking about it. I didn't write yesterday because I was home. I was with Three and it started to rain really bad. We had to sleep in the hideout. I loved having him all wrapped around me. I didn't like how I wake up to him laying on top of me. Not to be rude, but he is heavy. We kissed too. I love kissing him. I mean he is my only kiss, but still. His lips are so soft. I could kiss him all day! The one thing that ruined the happy feeling I got when I was with him was......my parents. They were yelling and screaming at me about not being home. I try to tell them it was raining too hard. They didn't listen to me at all. I get it that they worry, but that is just too much. I didn't want to tell them I was with Tyrece based on how both of them reacted the first time we spent time together. I hate how they can't just let me be with him. What is so wrong? Why can't I be with him? I really like him and he feels the same way. Am I blind or is it them? I don't know but I should go to sleep now.

Until tomorrow...

P.s. I really hope to see Tyrece tomorrow!
