(Ravine POV)

"Hello Grace!" I said.

"Ravine, what brings you here?" She said with a sad smile.

"I am so sorry but would you mind if I take a look at Troy's room for a while?" I asked.

"Of course not, but why?" She said as she was curious.

"I think your son wanted me to find something." I said.

As she let me in, I wasted no time in hurrying all the way to Troy's room to find his diary. It was written in his final letter that he wanted me to find it and he also revealed its hiding place so that I am the only one who could find it.

After looking underneath the mattress where he said it would be, I finally got it. I put it inside my bag and departed from his room.

"Did you find what you were looking for?" Grace asked.

"Of course. Thank you." I said.

"You're welcome. Don't hesitate to visit us sometimes."

"Sure thing."

With that, I exited their house and went home. As soon as I arrived, I went straight to my bedroom to read his diary so I can find out exactly how the events occurred and where and when this Jacob thing started.

One week later...

"Do you get it now?" I said to Gwen. "Jacob has always been taking advantage of Troy. I read it all in his diary."

"Can you tell me how it started in the first place?" Gwen said.

"Obviously, Troy has always been suffering from an eating disorder and he always felt as if he's not good enough, even for his parents."

"When did he started to purge?" Gwen asked.

"Troy was a chubby kid and people would make fun of him for being overweight so I guess that mentally fucked him up. Even though he's already slimmer than he should be, he still perceives himself as fat. He's also suffering from self-hatred due to his dad's disappointment in him for being gay and then, here comes Jacob who quickly took advantage of Troy's need for affection." I said while Gwen just nods her head in anticipation of what I was about to say.

"Apparently, Jacob has always been fond of Troy. I guess Jacob's bisexual but he's still closeted. He couldn't admit it to himself yet. That's why he and Troy would always do their secret hookups." I carried on with my explanation.

"Go on, I'm listening." Gwen said.

"According to Troy's diary, Jacob made Troy feel good about himself and for the first time ever, he felt good enough. That's why he and Troy would always have sex because Troy thought that Jacob genuinely cares for him but then Jacob's mask started slipping. Troy realized that the only reason why Jacob wanted to hook up with him is to satisfy his sexual needs. Plus, Jacob would sometimes do it with him in exchange for Troy doing his homework assignments and reaction papers."

"Pig!" Gwen screamed with her eyes widened.

"I know right. It didn't take long for Troy to wake up from this vicious cycle that Jacob is putting him through and when he tried to escape out of it, Jacob beat the shit out of him and raped him."

Gwen covered her face in frustration.

"Why didn't Troy say something to us?" Gwen said.

"He was scared to be judged. He was so afraid of admitting the truth to us because he thinks that if he did, we would be disgusted by him and distance ourselves from him. Of course, he did not want that to happen because we are only one of the very few people he's close to and he probably thought that he couldn't afford to lose us too. There was a point when he was going to finally tell us but...someone beat him up." I said.

"Who did?"

"Dominic, one of Jacob's closest friends. Apparently, Jacob reversed the whole story and told his buddy, Dominic that Troy drugged him in order for Troy to take advantage of Jacob which is totally false. Troy would never do such a thing." I said.

"Maybe that was the last straw for Troy before he begged God to euthanize him." Gwen said.

"Probably."

"How could Jacob have gotten away with it all?" Gwen said.

"Did he? Did he really? That's why we're reading this diary right now; it's for us to serve justice for Troy and to ensure that Jacob will not get away with it. We just have to find the right way to expose him. We just have to find a way to tell the authorities without us looking like idiots. We have to give them strong proof of Jacob's crimes." I said.

"Alright."

"I feel like we are in an episode of Sherlock Holmes or something." I said. "We should spy on both Dominic and Jacob and any interaction they might have, we have to be there with them secretly for us to record their conversations that involve Troy. That way, we'll know whether Jacob is really guilty or not."

"I have a few classes with Dominic so I'll keep an eye on him." Gwen said.

"I have more classes with Jacob than with Dominic so I'll take care of Jacob. Let's update each other with all the information we retrieve from either of them." I said.

"Alright, sounds very good to me."

"Great!"

Let the games begin.
