Amanda stood in front of the mirror with her hair hanging loose and her glasses in her hands. Angela always wanted to see her like that. Now she's going to let everybody see for the sake of her daughter.

In a casual dress and sandals, she walked into the kitchen looking at David and Melissa that couldn't stop starring at her. She give them an odd look taking a seat.
"Can we read one more diary entry?" She asked taking the diary closer to her. "We know she sang, we know about some friends. She didn't mention the guy though and if we can get a link to who might, we can sort this out."
"Alright." David nod his head giving Melissa a hug that crawled in under his arm. Amanda took a deep breath looking down at the diary.
"Dear diary..."

Angela's P.O.V

I stood in front of the mirror washing my hands when Courtney came in. I'm not up to talking.
"Angela, we need to talk." She said grabbing my hand. I turn to her that gave me a serious look. "It's about what happened at the party."
I look at her a bit confused. Does she know? If she does, does anybody else?
"Don't be mad at me okay. I tried to stop them. I tried to stop Yana and Riley." She tried to explain but the more and more she tried to speak about it to me the more I became angry. "But they pushed me away and..."
"You knew?" I asked upset. I push her away till she hit the floor. Tears came flooding in her eyes. "Why didn't you help me?"
"I tried!"
"You didn't try hard enough!" I cried straddling her and slap her in the face right across her cheek. "I hate you!"
When I heard someone coming in, I ran out looking for Sally but she's nowhere. Sally isn't near.
Everybody is looking at me like they knew. Of course they knew.

3rd person's P.O.V

"Courtney." Amanda pull on Courtney's arm getting her attention. "We need to talk about Angela."
"I've got nothing to tell you." Courtney replied trying to walk away when she saw Riley and Yana behind Amanda. Courtney give her an eye signal which she got but couldn't ignore.
"Courtney please!" Amanda shout at her letting her arm go. "You can walk away from me, but you can't walk away from the truth. You know what happened to Angela and I do to. If I find something out that makes you guilty at this and I didn't hear your side of the story I will let you suffer. It may sound like a threat and it is. I've warned you Courtney. Don't do this for me or any other person you want to protect, do this for you and Angela."
"What do you know about Angela?" Courtney asked taking Amanda's hands in hers.
"I know that you two were friends. I know about a lot of things." Amanda start to tell her. Courtney give her a serious look squeezing her hands tight.
"I'm really sorry about Angela Miss. Cotze. But I don't have the answers." Courtney apologised giving her a hug turning them around so that Amanda could look at Yana and Riley. She nervously took a deep breath whispering in Amanda's ear, "I'll come by at eight."

"I tried to stop them." Courtney cried sitting at the table in front of David, Amanda and Melissa. "I feel terrible for letting Angela down. She was really the only best friend I had except for Sally."
"What do you know about Sally?" Amanda asked sitting forward.
"Angela told Sally everything. They were in love. The same night of the party something magical happened. Something beautiful I've never seen before. I wanted to find Angela and warn her because I heard Riley and Yana talking about locking her in a room with this guy. So I looked everywhere and couldn't find her. When I did, I caught her making out with Sally in the hallway. She whispered to her that they should slip away to a more private place. Sally went away and just when I wanted to go talk to her, Riley and Yana came there. They force her into a room and locked her in. I ran to them as fast as I could to help Angi but...I was too weak. Last time I spoke to Angela, we had a break out. She pushed me to the floor and slapped me because I told her."
Amanda drop her head on David's shoulder crying her eyes out. David hold her tight looking worried at Courtney that was also crying.
"Yana is regretting it but that doesn't make her innocent. Riley is the bitch. She keeps threatening me that if I tell anybody, they'll try to hunt me down."
"Do you still have contact with Sally?" Melissa asked her raising an eyebrow.
"No her phone is off and I haven't heard from her since that night. The school called her parents. Her parents told them that Sally is being home schooled." Courtney told them looking down at the table.
"Where does Sally live?" David asked her right away.
