27. Graduation
Today is graduation but it isn't anything like how the senior class thought it would be. Emily's murder has been solved and it is all they can think about.
No one ever imagines they are sitting next to a murderer. For people in these five teenagers classes, this fact is reality for them. They sat next to killers for two whole months before they were caught.
This graduation ceremony was longer than it is most years. This year, they had a special section of the ceremony dedicated to Emily.
What they said about her really touched his heart. They even asked Dylan to speak. He accepted the opportunity and spoke not just about Emily as a friend to him but about her friendship with everyone.
He wants to keep her memory alive and memorialize her life with his speech.
Dylan graduated alone today. He doesn't have his best friend or his girlfriend by his side. Only his mom came to cheer him on.
A small part of him was hoping he would be tackled by Emily at the end of the graduation ceremony when they both had become members of the adult world.
But obviously, she never did.
Graduation is over now and Dylan's mood is back to normal. He sits on his bathroom floor reading Emily's diary. He is almost finished. He has three pages left and then he will know everything Emily wrote.
April 15th
As the time grows closer and closer to my death, I have found less and less motivation to write about it.
I should have gone to the police a long time ago. I should have risked looking like a fool.
But it is too late now. It is what it is. I can't change what is going to happen to me.
I wrote this diary to share what happened to me before I died. I wrote this diary to make sure my killers would be found.
And if it turned out to be just a joke, then I would have nothing to worry about and you would have nothing to read about.
Everything would be normal then, right?
Dylan flips to the next page.
April 20th
I kiss my mom goodbye every day and I always tell her how much I love her. I never know when the last time will be.
I hope she knows that I love her. I hope everyone in my life knows that I love them. It's hard for me to communicate that sometimes but I truly do care for everyone I know.
I hope they all live very happy lives and live very long. They all deserve it.
And if this all turns out to be just nothing, I will learn to communicate my feelings better so people will always know how I feel about them just in case something were to happen to me.
