Dear Diary:

Well today is Tuesday and I was going to visit grandma and grandpa. Mom still hadn't said what she had on her mind.

Dad took me over there. My little sister stayed at home with my mom. We arrived and dad said hello and dropped me off. I was staying the night.

They looked very ill. It was like they had sucked off every bit of sun they had. My cousin Paul was also staying.

Grandma wanted to cook for us but I didn't let her. I made some chicken soup. It was good but not great.

We all talked about stuff. Grandma and Grandpa went to sleep at 7:30. I stayed more so I could finish up studying since dad was picking me up at six.

I entered my grandpa's library to study. I told Paul to watch TV or something and take care of grandma and grandpa. I needed to study.

I had only been in here once. When I was little. I was 7 years old and I saw this and thought of it as my little escape because it was hidden.

The library was hidden. You needed to go through a hidden little tunnel. Well that was the way I knew how to enter. First I pushed my book bag in and then I crawled in.

It was better than I remembered. It had books in all of shelves. The room was circular and had like a huge circle book shelf. It had all of the classics. I put myself in the desk and started studying.

I finished studying and started to read some of the books my grandfather had in there. Then I smelled a very distinct smell. It was like something was burning. Then I realized something it was burning. I hurriedly got out there and saw in the kitchen smoke. I thought my grandma was in the kitchen. I entered and saw Paul he was trying to cook but her burned the stove instead. I put the fire out and cleaned the mess.

After we talked a bit he asked me where I was. I didn't want to tell him where I was so I said "just a quiet place". He told me he was going to sleep. He went to his bedroom and I went back to the library to get my book bag. But this time I saw my grandfather inside. I got in through there and he asked "why are you here".

I was studying.

Ok does anyone else about this place.

No I had seen it when I was little but I didn't tell Paul where I was.

He walked towards me and hugged me he said "this will be our little secret, everytime you come and visit you can come in but don't let anyone else know".

I nodded in agreement and he took a book and the book case shifted. I could see the wall of their bedroom now. The book case turned again towards me and the book was back. I left where I came from. I took my book bag and went to sleep.
