Life Between Two People

Hi.
It has been almost a week and Father just got home. There is only one reason that has terrified me. I guess I should tell you.

Last night I was up really late writing in my diary. Mother had said that during the day I could only write one hour. So I went on at night for longer. It was about midnight when I heard a noise by the door. I quickly turned shut my diary and went to go see what it was. It was Father with two other men carrying him. I opened the door and the men thanked me. Father talked to them for a while and then they left. So I decided to ask where he was. And this is what happened.

“ Father, where have you been all of this time? We have been worried.”

“ I have been protecting my land, I only came back because I hurt my leg.”

“ What do you mean by protecting?”

“ I mean that I took my gun and started shooting at the people who try to take it.”

“ You were shooting at Adeline’s dad!?”

“ That is most likely. Why?”

“ Father, you could have killed my best friends father. Is that what you want?”

“ Right now I don’t care about anyone’s father’s. All I care about is my land. Now go to sleep young one.”

And that was pretty much it. I really need to know if Adeline and her father are okay. I will hate my father if they both aren’t. Even if one isn’t I still will hate my father. He has to go to the hospital in the city tomorrow. I will probably go with him, if I am allowed to.

Adeline will most likely move. That depresses me. We have only known each other for a few weeks. I was hoping that we could live to be great friends for a long time, but all of this is happening. My father has falling asleep, and I can hear his deep breathing in the background. I wonder if he is happy with himself. I wouldn’t be.

I saved up some money, so that when we go to the city tomorrow, I will be able to buy Adeline a goodbye present. If I have enough, I think I might buy her a best friends bracelet. It comes with two, so I could keep one and she can keep one. If I don’t have enough money, I can just get her something that she will remember me by.

This will be one of my last diary note. I started writing around when I met Adeline, so I decided to stop writing around when Adeline leaves. I think that it is only fair for her and for me. I guess it would be okay to come back on here once in a while. But this isn’t my very last diary note. It is just one of the ending diary notes. So, I guess I should go and get to bed, before the sun comes up! Mother would kill me if she found out that I was writing in my diary almost all night. Not to mention she will be in a bad mood with the whole father thing. Well I must go for now. Bye.

Yours Truly, Nayeli.
