Dear Diary,
So to whoever might be reading this, if you've gotten this far it means my life has been interesting or you must have really cared about me to want to see how it all ends. This is my diary and nobody is expected to read this except me, but I have decided to leave it where you might find it and if I don't return after 24 hours of you getting a hold of this, just know that I might be dead.
I have gone because of the note I found in my book, facing my fears once and for all. I am scared, so know that this was not out of bravery, I just can't take it anymore I just feel like this has to end, the nightmares and the constant threat. The guys at the party are hell bent on messing with my life.
So I would like to use this medium to apologise to Yemisi, I'm sorry and if you've read this you would know why,
