Dear Diary

Dear, Journal

I am Bella Carter. Im 17 big brown eyes and long dark hair and my life has resently turned to shit. I was very content with my life. Living in Philadelphia with my family dating a football player being head cheerleader and top of my class and honestly having valedictorian in the bag. But that was all ripped from under me and it all started about 3 months ago. I was goimg to school with War (Warren) and I saw someone following us. After a while I noticed and than he turned away and that was that. But anyway t the time I was dating Ashton and we weren't you know...doin it. I didn't feel ready. He said he was cool with it but I soon found out he couldn't wait. Anyway theur was this party and we went and I helped Parker prove a point and get a bf. Yeah ik aweaome right but I'll get into that later. So we're at this Halloween party and Parker's doimg her thang and than Ashton comes up to me and hugs me from behind and he asked me if we could talk outside. I didn't think anything of it because the music was so loud the ground shook. So I go outside with him only to be lifted and thrown against the side of the house and hes talking about how he wants me and how he's gonna fuck me and he bets im really tight. He pulls down his pants and mine and I was screaming for help the whole time but it was no use their was no way to hear anything over this music. I was doomed. But than this guy comes along and taps Ashton on the shoulder and beats the shit out of him and im on the floor and he looks over to me in a way I didn't exactly appreciate and started walking towards me. I didn't know what to do so I did the first thing that came to mind. I hightailed jt out if their scared to death only to see he's damn following me. I run as fast as I can clothes ripped up shoes falling off hair flying every damned where and out of breath. I finnaly get to the house and I lock the door and lean agaimst the wall after a bunch of pounding on the door the window in the living room breaks. I run ti my riom and barricade the door. Doors open and slam and open and slam and than my door is shaken I st their with the bat until it stops the next day everything is clean and theirs no sign that anything that happened happened. If it weren't for the fact that that night I had zero alcohol I would say I was wasted and imagined the while thing but I was totally sober. My parents thought I was a complete sociopath. I decided to put it behind me. And it worked...for about two months. Two days ago Warren, Parker, Dakota, Hunter and me where hanging out at the mall. We where having an awesome time. While taking off this dress I was trying on I got the trangest series of texts.

From Uknown: Hey babe you done yet?

To Uknown: srry not who ur looking 4 lol check the # again.

From Unknown: No im looking 4 u

To Uknown: Nope idk this # so....

From Uknown: So

To Uknown: Who are you? Didn't catch a name?

From Uknown: Dont worry about it.

I ignored it and went in with our day. After a while I left and started going to the car. I walked through the mall and I started getting a really weird feeling. I turned aroumd and didn't see anything weird. I shook it off as just being nerves and kept going until I heard my name. I looked back and didn't see anything. I took a deep breath and told myself to relax I was just hearing things...until o heard it again. I turned around but this time theirs a man running at me. I run around the corner and into the parking lot. I unlock the door and run to the car I get in and lock the door behind me. I sit diwn and lay back with a sigh. I slowly rose back up and looked out the window and saw that I was alone. I let out a sigh of relief and start the car. I pull out and the car bounces and wobbles and I smell burning rubber. I get out if the car and bend down.Someone had slashed my tires. I look around and clamber to my feet. I looled at the time the mall was closing in five minutes because of the holiday. I was stuck with a flat and I used my donut the last time and I never put it back. Than some guy came up tke and asked ifni needed help. I was a bit hesitant but agreed. He had a thick irish accent nice blonde hair and seemed extremely nice. He left to get a donut and he was taking forever. I grew impatient and a little worried so I decided to go find him. I called him Nial and didn't get a response. I saw a donut laying in the middle of the lot I looked aroumd and found a car qith the trunck and drivers side door open. I went up to the car and inside there were fingernail marks and a phone on the seat. I saw their was a picture in the sun visor I pulled it down and saw it was Niall with a girl our age. I started to get nervous. I was so scared. I wanted to run but I couldn't. Ibput the picture back and almost shit when I glanced over to the rear view mirror and saw a man with a bloody knife. Before I could even scream the guy was gone. I got out of the car and ran to mine. I got to my car gasping for air as the male looking figure chased me. I climbed into the car and turned the key in the ignition. The car didn't start and the figure was gaining on me now. The guy was behind my car banging on the glass now. I turned on and he banged omce more breakimg the glass and he pulled himself in. Halfway at least. I pressed down on tue breaks and sped home.

When I got home mom made dinner and everyone was happy and bubbly while I had just almost died and Nial who I grew to like within the fibe minutes of me knowing him actually did die. I brushed off my parnets and wemt up to my room. I crawled in and found myself to be lying in dirt and worms. With it all was a note.

Dearest, Bella

Im going to kill you love

Signed, Nonya buisness

Thus habing the greatest form of punishment bestowed upon me. Knowing the inevitable but unaware of wjen the inevitable will happen. Its painful. I almost wamt it to happen already. Just to get it over with the suspense is overwhelming. The next day today a woman died bevause of me an innocent woman all because I was stubborn. The worst part is I can't tell a soul.

Sincerely, Bella Marie Carter

I didn't realsie I had been crying but there where tears running down my cheek. I wiped my face and got up to find a plave to hide this. I looked around and thought for the perfect place.

I pushed my bed aside and looked at the large square secret compartment I made when I was younger. I pulled the rope handle and found a few dolls five dollars my great grandmother's ring and a note.

I ignored the stuff already im there and simply placed it on top. I closed the door and put the bed back. I feel a little better now that I've gotten a little off my chest but I know this doesn't change anything. Im going to die and I don't know when and I don't even get to say goodbye.
