Dylan wakes up to the sound of his mom blasting the tv in her bedroom. He stumbles out of bed and enters her bedroom to see what all the commotion is about. She never plays the tv this loud in the morning.

She is playing it so loud so she can make sure she hears every word they are saying.

Dylan stands with her in front of the tv and watches. Emily's picture sits on one side of the screen. Next to her portrait, another picture.

"That girl was arrested in connection to Emily's murder." His Mom fills him in. "She confessed to helping to kill her but she won't give up who else helped her do it."

Dylan sits down on the edge of his mom's bed so he can continue watching. He feels weak in the knees because of this.

He recognizes the girl. She is in his English class. He can't believe she confessed and now they actually have one of Emily's killers in custody.

He sees that the girl's name is Leslie. Dylan thinks he remembers Amy talking about Leslie being one of her best friends.

He has to talk to Amy about it and see if she knows her.

The news sequence ends and Dylan returns to his room.

Dylan grabs the diary and sits with it in his bed.

He is worried because he is getting to the end of the entries in the diary. Emily died in April and he is already in the April entries.

April 2nd

I talked not too long ago about how I was on top of the world.

Well, now I'm at the bottom of that very same world.

My mom hasn't come out of her room since my step dad left her. She didn't even want to see me in my prom dress.

Seeing her so sad is making me sad.

She doesn't deserve him. She deserves so much better. But I can't tell her that because she won't listen. She just wails on and on about how much she misses him.

I can't tell you how many times I have cried because of it. It seems selfish because I didn't love him and I know my mom did but him leaving her is really hurting our relationship.

Me and my mom just haven't been the same since he left.

When I die, I don't know what she will do. She might stop eating for good. She could die if she stops taking care of herself.

I can't let that happen. I have to stop this.

I have a plan to not be killed. It might not work but I have everything worked out. I paid the people I need to pay and everything is lined up. I think I have an idea of when it is going to go down and happen. So I will execute my plan then.

Hopefully, it will work.

Dylan is not sure what this plan is but he knows it probably didn't work since she ended up dying anyways...

His phone lights up with a text from Amy, asking to hang out later. He decides this is a good time to ask her about the girl who got arrested in connection with Emily's murder.

'Hey, sure we can hang out later. My place or yours?' Dylan types and sends the message. 'Also, did you know that girl that got arrested? Leslie...' He sends the second message and waits for her reply by reading another passage.

April 4th

I am terrified. I was ready to face death before but now that is it really happening, I am terrified.

I thought I knew how to stop it but I am having second thoughts about it it will even work. I don't think it will but it is all I have right now to hold on to.

Amy replies and Dylan sets the book down, replacing it with the phone in his hands.

'Yeah, she's my best friend. I'm devastated that she would do something like this.' Amy replies to Dylan's question. 'And I guess your place.'

Dylan nods. 'That sucks. I'm sorry.' He replies before picking the book back up.

April 5th

Seeing Dylan helps with the sadness. It also helps that he knows something is wrong. He asks me about it all the time. He offers to listen but I never take him up on it. I always deny it.

I can't tell him I know I'm going to die. He will call the police.

I don't want to go to the police. They are just going to tell me I'm an idiot teenager who is just overreacting, again. They will say the same thing they said when I went to them about my stepfather.

The police around here have taught me that I need to deal with my problems myself.
