November 25th

A girl with dark hair is running towards a light haired girl who's face I can not see. But the dark haired girl is Molly her dark eyes give it away.Molly has a knife. The light haired girl a rock.

It all happens so fast after that. The blonde out smarted Molly and grabbed the knife from her.

But then I have to look away. She pulls the knife back and stabs Molly repeatedly. Laughing.

It's when I see her face I am shocked. It is me. Blood covers my face and body but my smile covers more.

The me with the knife starts scream out if random and so do I.

"Beatrice."

My eyes shoot open.

"It's just me." Caleb's hands are on my right shoulder "Okay?"

"Yeah..."

"Bad dream?" I nod my head "You wanna talk about it?"

"No it's fine." it's not fine though

"Okay Beatrice..." Caleb leaves

I'm shaking still. That was fake, was it really? You have no blood on you, I did kill her though.

Police have been looking into it sense last mouth.

Teenage Molly Atwood found dead in her back yard.

The news papers would say. Gilt moves threw my bones everyday, but I did what I had to. Didn't I? She would have killed me like I did her. Maybe if I just went to the police, but after all this time?

All I know is, even if I went to the police the guilt of killing someone never goes away. But did I even really kill her? I mean she jumped at me a the knife sunk into her, it was in my hand but I never stabbed her.

I don't remember what I did with the knife which scares me but is also a good thing. I think I cleaned up pretty good. Well not really I mean my family can tell something's up with me but there not the police and I can't even imagine what they would do if they knew there daughter killed someone. My dad, who worked for the government and my mom, who also works for the government but lower down she does stuff to help the homeless. How would that look on there part to their bosses and co-workers. I don't even know.

I have started school up again it's going fine except for the few times where I encounter Peter and his gang,Peter I just learned was Molly's cousin. He goes on and on about how he needs time off of school to morn over his cousin but the truth is Peter could care less about his family.

Later that day I find myself in the basement with Caleb who once agin is trying to teach me how to play video games, lets just say I barely know how to hold a controller. He gives up on me in about 30 minutes which is longer than usual so maybe I'm improving?

I played on the coach for a while watching him but eventually I drifted off.
