----------------------------------:BROKEN MIND:--------------------------------

When I wake, Sae's sitting at the table with a coffee. I sit next to her, not saying a word. She doesn't say anything either.

I slowly move my hand across the table and lightly grab hers. I give it a squeeze.

"Hi Mom."

Sae's- Mom's eyes brighten, but then tears start falling. "I'm so sorry!" She whispers and leaves the table. My hand feels cold now.

I make my way upstairs and then the beeping starts.

No, thats not beeping, it's the doorbell. I head down again and open it. It's the boy from the hospital.

"Hi Alyssa." He says and steps in.

"Hi... who are you?" I try to be polite, but it's difficult. How to politely ask somebody who obviously knows you who they are.

He laughs. "Still my funny sister!"

A flash of realization, from last night. "Jimmy." I nod yes to myself and look at him. He does look like me. But I wouldn't call us twins.

"Yeah, I'm Jimmy. Your brother. Wheres Mom?"

"I made her cry." I answer.

"You've made us all cry, baby sis. You made us all cry." He shakes his head. "So, Mom gave you the diary?"

"Yes. But I still don't understand... What happened to me?"

"Did you finish the journal?" He asks again.

"No."

"I'll tell you after you finish the diary. You'll have most of it figured out by then. You were writing right before it happened... the last pages have blood splattered on them. Kind of like your room." He chuckles.

"Okay. Well, can you tell me, who's my dad?"

His eyes darken. "Dad and I live in an apartment in town."

"What town?" I ask, curiously.

"Boston."

I live in Boston, MA. Good to know.

"Do you like him?"

"Yes."

"Do I?"

He stays quiet. I take it as a no. Sae- Mom walks down the stairs.

"Hi Honey." She waves to Jimmy.

"Hey Mom. How are you?"

"Honey, I'm okay. Uhm, Alyssa, we're going out to eat, would you like to join us?" She turns to me.

"No thankyou. Can I stay here?"

"How will you... I don't know..." Sa-Mom replies.

"Mom, let her go. Cmon." Impatient Jimmy says.

"By yourself?" Sae- MOM asks.

"Yes. I want to read the journal. My journal."

Pain reflects from her, then she nods. "Go ahead. I'll be back soon. And, I'll have our neighbors come check on you." She then walks into what I think is the kitchen. Things bang around and she comes back minutes later with a bag.

"Whatcha got, Mom?" Jimmy asks.

"Uh... the knifes and forks from the kitchen."

"Why?" I ask now.
