One Way Ticket-Ethan Dolan

Chapter 16

"Well thanks guys that was fun." I say.  I wave goodbye to Grayson.  Then I get in Ethan's car and he drives me home.

*a month later*
Dear Diary,
I've been hanging out with Ethan and Grayson a lot lately.  My life feels like it might be getting a little better, although it's not perfect.

I haven't told anyone, but I get bullied at school.  No one likes me and I haven't made any friends at school.

I'm glad to have Ethan and Grayson as my friends.  They have helped me through so much.  They make me happy when I'm having a bad day.  They make me smile when no one else can.  They mean a lot to me.

I had a bad day at school today. I'm bullied everyday, but today was worse. I was at lunch sitting alone in the hall. Stacy walked up to me and asked if my family died and I was going to a funeral since I was wearing all black. She didn't know about my family, but what she said really hurt.

I quickly stood up and walked away to the bathroom. Then I began crying. I'm glad she didn't follow me in there. I didn't want to break down in front of anyone, so they could pick on me for that. I also don't want them to know what had happened to my family.

I just got home. I'm sitting on my bed writing in my diary. My aunt is at work.

I'm trying to stay strong, but even the strongest people eventually break. I am trying for my Aunt Jennah as well as Ethan and Grayson. I don't want to hurt them. I don't want them to feel like they weren't good enough.

I shut my diary and put it in a drawer under some clothes so no one will find it.

I grab a bag and put a few things inside.  I leave my Aunt a note in the kitchen saying I'm gonna go on a walk.  Then I go outside.

I go to one of my favorite spots in L.A.  It's a woodsy area.  No one really goes there although it's really pretty.
