Dear Diary,

I was busy yesterday and the day before that so I couldn't write. Yesterday was MLK day so we had a party and then on Sunday I went to church and we celebrated my mom's birthday. So yeah... Anyway, back to the subject of Daniel. Let's do a little recap shall we. I run into him in the hallway and he hits me on the head with a pipe because I'm dating someone else. How is he supposed to pass on peacefully if he is having these thoughts about me and trying to kill Jamie, the boy I moved on to after he died? So he is dragging me off while I shift in and out of consciousness. When he finally stops dragging me, I find myself in a room with a bed and a nightstand with a Tylenol, a glass of water, and a piece of paper that says "read me Cassandra!!!" So when I open up the letter I start reading this and I start thinking about the letter I put in his coffin on the day of his funeral. I remembered writing....

Dear Daniel,

I'm so sad that you died. But I'm also sad because Trinity died. But I'm not gonna talk about Trinity. I'm gonna talk about how much you have meant to me and how much I still love you. I'm writhing this because it will be hard to say these words at your funeral service without crying. I'm gonna miss you. And by you I mean I'm gonna miss everything about you. I'm gonna miss your nice personality. I'm gonna miss going fishing and hunting with you. I'm gonna miss talking to you in the middle of the night when I'm sad or pissed off. I'm gonna miss your smile and your laugh. I'm gonna miss how you make me laugh. But for the most part I'm gonna miss how much you care for me. I can search the whole planet for someone else but I'm not gonna find anyone else like you. You made me happy when the skys were gray and I loved that about you. But I love every part of you.

Love,

Cassandra Gaudet

The letter he wrote me said...

Dear Cassandra,

I'm writing this letter to you because you wrote me that letter at my funeral and I thought you deserved a response. I still love you and I want you to tell me that you still love me. I know that you are dating Jamie but you wrote me that letter saying that you loved me so I want you to tell me that before I formally pass on. Before I go into a better life. That is the reason that you are here. That's the reason I have not passed on. I hope that you still love me, or at least have a little bit of feelings for me. If you don't confess to me that you still love me in the next 24 hours I will end up killing you when you least expect it and

you will come to heaven with me and we will have a great life together. If you do, I will pass on peacefully and I will leave you alone. Until you die and then we will live a great life together forever. I love you Cassie and I hope you understand that.

Love, forever and always,

Daniel Wop

Speaking of the devil, Daniel walks in as soon as I finished reading the letter, like he knew I was reading it or something. He asks me "Did the love of my life read the letter I assigned to her yet?" I knew if I wanted to be let go then I shouldn't be lying to him so I said "Yes, but I learned something about you." "What did you learn?" "THAT YOU ARE FUCKING INSANE!!!!!!! LET ME OUT OF HERE NOW OR I WILL..." At that moment he came up to me and kissed me. (remember the rule I told you earlier.) I kissed back because Daniel was a good kisser. Even though I shouldn't be, I was kissing my ex-boyfriend. He finally released me and said "You just passed the test, now all you have to do is tell me you love me and I will pass on peacefully with that thought tucked in my head." "What?" I was confused. "I kissed you and you kissed back, that obviously means that you love me." "The only reason I didn't push you away was because I want to get out of here. I want to go home, back to my family and my friends AND MY BOYFRIEND!!!!!" He leaned his head towards mine "NO!!! YOU CAN'T KISS ME ANYMORE!!!!! LET ME GO!!!!" Then I started to scream HELP!!!! as loud as I could but Daniel put his hand up to my mouth to shut me up again. He tried to calm me down with the most soothing voice he could create. "Baby, calm down. Everything will be fine. Just say the words and I will get out of your hair." "Really?" I said "Yes, just tell me that you love me and..." I start trying to slap him but I forgot that rule he told me earlier about me not being able to touch him. I started crying.

Now I'm crying. I gotta go anyway, it's time for lunch.

Sincerely,

Cassie
