Chapter 1
It all started about two years ago. 13 year old Ashley lived with her mom since the day she was born. She had a father but he has passed away when she 7 years old. She had lots of friends and was even starting to like a guy who was in the same class as her. When he wasn't looking she would always be looking at him and when he would notice she would turn her head away quickly. As she was leaving the school the boy who she liked came up to her and said hey you were looking at me today. Ya I know Ashley said. I had something to tell you but couldn't. So when Ashley got home she told her mom and her mom said Ashley I know you like this guy but you're too young to have a boyfriend. It doesn't make sense at all. My other friends have boyfriends and I can't.
Ashley ran to her room, slammed the door and began to cry. The next day Ashley seen the boy again and asked what his name was. The boy said his name was Scott. The girl smiled and told Scott she'd see him in her second period class. Scott said ok then left to go to his class. In second period Ashley sat next to Scott and couldn't keep her eyes off of him. Scott seen her looking at him and smiled then went back to doing his work. Later in third period Ashley told her friends what happened. They couldn't believe it. They said OMG. He totally likes you. I know Ashley said. But why would he like me? I'm just a nerd. We can fix that her friends told her. So later after school her friends came over. Ashley's mom said hello. Then the girls went upstairs and startedd changing how Ashley looked.
After they were finished Ashley went downstairs to show her mom. Her mom was angry when she saw Ashley. She said Ashley how could you do this to yourself. Your beautiful enough. You don't need makeup or those clothes to make you pretty. But mom Ashley said that boy that I like who you seem to hate likes me. I don't like looking like nerd. Please mom. If dad were here he'd let me look the way I want to. Seriously mom. You can't do this to me. I hate you she said to her mom then stormed out of the house with her friends. She was so mad when she left. She just couldn't handle it anymore. She didn't want to go back but knew she had to. She was only 13 and not allowed to leave until she was 18, but want to leave now and not have to deal with her mom anymore.
Ashley didn't come that night. She had stayed at her friends. The next morning at school Ashley wasn't in the best of mood. She didn't want to talk anyone except Scott. During lunch Ashley sat at a table in the lunch room alone crying. Scott came and saw Ashley. He asked what was wrong. Ashley said I had a fight with my mom. It didn't go so well. I stormed out of my house with my friends and didn't come home last night. What was the fight about Scott asked. You know how I looked yesterday. Ya Scott said. Well my friends changed my look for me. I wanted them to change how I looked. I went downstairs to show my mom. When she seen me she got really angry with me. Wow scott said. You look nice before but this is so much better. Really Ashley said. You really think I look better. Ya Scott said. I like this new you. Ashley smiled and then walked out of the lunch room with Scott. After school as Scott was walking Ashley home.
Ashley Scott said. Ya Scott. Will you go out with me? Really Ashley said. Ya Scott said. Yes I would love to. Thank you Scott. Ashley went home ran up to her room and sat there smiling. Her mom came up and saw Ashley. What are you so happy about? Nothing Ashley said and why would I tell you anyway. You don't need to know my life story and what goes on. Time was flying by and Ashley was 15. Her and Scott were still together. As soon as Ashley got home from school she went up to her room and texted her boyfriend. Her friends had moved away which really broke Ashley heart. Ashley had become the most popular girl in school. Everyone liked her. All the girls wanted to be her. Her boyfriend would come and see her everyday after school. It was great. Her mom didn't like Scott very much.
When Ashley turned 16 she started focusing more on school and her looks more then anything else. She hated her mom. She hated school but was still able to get through it. One night Ashley and her boyfriend decided not to go home after school. They didn't care what their parents would say. They both hated their parents. It was getting dark and very cold. They needed to get to shelter very quick. On a hill they saw an old abandoned house. They walked in looked around. They used the lights on their phones. Ashley went upstairs to one of the rooms. When she got there in the corner of the room she saw a old doll sitting in a rocking chair. The chair seemed to be moving on its own. Ashley thought the window might be open. But when she went to check the window was closed.
When she turned to see the doll. It was standing on its own. Ashley left the room thinking she was losing her mind. She went to go find Scott. He was up in the attic looking through some old pictures and an old diary. Ashley told Scott what had happened. He thought she was crazy. As he was going through the diary he found an entry that was dated back May 6th 1908. It read: Dear Diary something terrible happened to me today. My dad came home drunk and screaming cause he lost his job. He started blaming my mom for losing his job. Then he blamed me. He said I shouldn't have been born and he wished I was dead. I couldn't believe it. My own father wishing I was dead. Seriously how could he do this to me. I wanted to get out of the house as fast as I could. My mom was in her room crying, my dad stormed out of the house.
Me well I ran up to my room, locked the door, and sat on my bed crying. The next morning when I woke up I ran to my mom's room to see the door handle dripping with blood. I opened the door to see my mom lying dead on the floor covered in blood. There was note on the floor that said I'm happy your dead. I didn't love anyways. I knew it was my dad's writing. I ran back to my room and hid there. I was trying to be so quiet. I didn't want my dad to do the same thing to me as he did to my mom. I heard footsteps at the bottom of the stairs and then they started coming up the stairs so I hid under my bed hoping he wouldn't find me.I saw the door open and my dad callling my name still drunk. He looked in my closet, out the window, and then he looked under the bed where I had hid..... Ashley took the diary from Scott.
Scott Ashley said we need to find out who this person is. Tomorrow after school we will go around asking people if anybody knows who this is. So Ashley and Scott went down the stairs and left the house. The next day after school Ashley and Scott went around asking people. At the end of the block was a old house. They went up to the house and knocked on the door. A old man came to the door. He looked like he was in his 70's. Hello Ashley said. My boyfriend found this diary in the attic of the house on the hill. We were thinking you might know who this person is in here. The old man let them in. They sat down and told him what they read in the diary. The old man looked at them blankly. Are you ok Ashley asked. I knew her he said. She was my best friend. I started to like her when we met.
What was her name Ashley asked. Her name was Annie. I knew her since the day we met. I thought she was sick thats why she wasn't coming to school, but after I found out on the news that her father had killed her I was heart broken. I haven't spoken about her since. It was to hard to remember her. I had to forget about her. Did anyone else know her Scott asked. Yes the man said. Theres a lady across the street from me. Those two were like sisters. She knew who Annie was. So Ashley and Scott said thank you and then left the house. They went to the house across the street and knocked on the door. An older lady answered. Hello said the lady. Hi Ashley said. We understand you were a friend of Annie's. Come in the lady said. Is she ok? where is she? That's why we're here. The old man across the street told us you knew her.
Said you and her were like sister. Yes we were. Ashley opened the diary to the only entry and gave it to the lady. When she finished reading she gave the diary back to Ashley. I should have been there the lady said then this wouldn't have happened. She'd still be alive today if I had been there. She was my best friend. That man across the street liked her and I was jealous. I wanted to go out with him but he chose Annie. I was mad at her for days. I would see them all the time laughing and talking all the time. Annie later broke up with him cause she wanted me back. Said she was sorry and didn't mean to hurt me. Said she should've never gone out with him the first place and that it would never happen again. I told her I was sorry to for being so jealous. She said it was ok. The old man never mentioned any of that to us. Thank you Ashley and Scott said. Come back anytime the lady said. Then Ashley and Scott left the house.
Later Ashley and Scott went back to the house. Just when they were about to walk in Ashley got a text from her mom. Ashley where are you? I have been worried sick for days. You need to come home now. Ashley texted saying no. I'm done with you. I'm not coming back. Only time I'll come back is to get my clothes and that's it. Goodbye. Are you ok Scott asked. Ya it's just mom. She wants me to come home but I'm not going back. Ashley and Scott went back up to the attic and started looking for anything that was Annie's. They found an old trunk in the corner of the attic. When they opened it they were shocked to find a human skeleton laying the trunk. Could this be Annie's they thought. It was bigger than Annie. She was really little when she was killed. This has to be the mothers body. Beside the body was a note. It said I'm happy your dead. Omg Ashley said. Who would do this to their wife and daughter. I wonder if there was a father in the picture.
