Help me.....
Someone help me!....
I c-can't take this anymore!!!
Help....
Me.....
<Capricorn POV>
My.... Erm.....classmate........ I mean.., friend.....died.....
And I didn't know until a week later, when her funeral was held and her body was burned as requested from her....
She was beautiful..... And let's just say boys wanted her and girls wanted to be like her.... She wanted her body burned so that pretty face would forever disappear from the world....
She typically just smiles at everyone, and no one would ever figure out the depression within her.... Her cute smile covering the sadness....
But I didn't care about any of that, she was a precious....friend to me....
And now she's gone.......forever......
Months later, I found her diary....hidden in a secret compartment in her apartment, which an old couple has now moved into.
The police have already searched the entire room, and donated her stuff to the poor... Since she had no other relatives to pass it down to.
But fortunately, the police didn't see the compartment, which I'm glad was left unseen by others...
I knew of the compartment because she showed me..., and only me...
Within the compartment, I knew... There lies her diary...
Along with the diary, I also found a picture, a necklace, and a key...
I knew what the key was for, but I decided to leave it untouched for now...
The picture and necklace was rather interesting...., a picture of her smiling with a group of girls and a simple necklace with an empty jar hanging from the chain.
She told me once, that the jar wasn't empty. It had the 'wind' inside.... And one day, she wanted to be free like the wind.... Not trapped by that face of hers.
I opened the diary, and knew immediately I shouldn't have done that.
On the first page wrote: For whoever who finds this diary..., please burn it immediately and do not look inside... Fulfill my final wish
I looked over the note and continued reading, knowing that if she was still here I would be dead meat.
This is amazing! I finally got to see my new school and I love it! After being home schooled for such a long time, I'm glad I finally get a chance to see the real world! Father said it was best for me to avoid everyone, to make sure what happened to Mother wouldn't happen to me... But I should be fine!... He's just worrying too much!
My first day of school would be tomorrow, and I can't wait!
I remember this... She told me about her past before... She sure sounds hyper...
I guess I understand what Father means now, by avoid everyone. But that's a REALLY hard demand when you're pretty much a human magnet.... First day and I already got 27 confessions, of which I rejected them all, and the entire school wanted to be my friend... I don't know if I should be happy or......
Studying was really hard in the last few weeks, but I managed to keep up! At first, I thought the confessions were just a joke. Like something the people in that community do to all new students!.... But that's really hard to believe now... I just got a confession from a girl today.., and I was really awkward.... Eventually the girl just yelled at me, asking me 'WHY DID YOU HAVE TO BE SO PRETTY' and stormed off.... Am I supposed to take that as a compliment....?
I smiled while reading this... I'm not even surprised this happened.... She is what everyone call the Goddess after all....
Someone help me.... Please.... Help....
HELP......
WHY DO EVERYONE JUST STARE AT MY FACE, BUT IGNORE MY CRIES?! WHY?!?!
The last two entries took me by surprise..... What did she even needed help for??..
The writing looked messier than the previous entries... As if she wrote it while hiding in a crammed space....
A new student came... His name was Capricorn. He looks very poor and skinny.... Why do I care? Well... He's the first person I had a normal conversation with.... And at least he didn't stare at my face wherever I go.... So basically he came over and asked for a tour of the school.... Also, I suppose my previous guess was wrong.... He wasn't bombarded by love letters and confessions.... So why me?...
I laughed a bit. Normal conversation? I just asked her where the washroom was.... Is that even normal??? And back then I probably WISHED I was bombarded by confessions...
As I read on, I noticed the change in handwriting,... From small and neat to just messy scribbles on the page...
Capricorn and I became very good friends! I'm very glad I got to meet him... He didn't care about my body, rather he......... I don't know...... It's hard to write...
But the confessions kept on coming, and Capricorn just laughed at my situation.
At first I was confused, why someone would laugh at me. But eventually I also started laughing and we ended up getting ice cream together after school.
I laughed to myself... I don't know why I found it funny that one girl would get so many confessions yet rejected them all. It was just hilarious to me at that time...
As I kept on reading, I noticed the fact a page was torn out, right after the last entry.
The entries after that were written with a marker, scribbled across the page...
Help me..... Someone please.....
Capricorn.... Where are you?!?!
CAPRICORN HELP ME..... I BEG OF YOU....
Me? Help? Help what....? I'm very confused here.... How can one girl turn from cheerful to just...... Miserable.....?
I don't get it. Whenever I go home from school, Father would ask me if there's anyone I liked there.... I would always reply no. But today when I got home, Father asked me the same question.... I don't know what caused me to say it but I replied truthfully. Yes.... Father then stormed off in anger and...worry.... Did I do something?..
Also, today a very rich and handsome boy asked me out. But I already agreed to go eat more ice cream after school with Capricorn, so I once again rejected him.
The boy smiled and told me if I was busy today, he'll just ask another day...
Please don't.....
I always knew her Father was weird.... But I don't get why he's so....overprotective...
Also, I'm surprised she rejected that boy just to hang out with me...
I'm nothing special....
The boy asked me again.... This time more harshly and demanding...
I'm still wondering to myself, with a boy so handsome, how can I not fall for him....?
So I agreed to his demands and we agreed to meet up at 7pm, by the park..
Well.... I definitely don't look forwards to this...
I finally got back.., and I'm never doing this again.
He took me to an arcade, where he played and I acted to be impressed.
Then, he took me to a cliff, where he confessed to me.
I wasn't surprised he did that, but when he threatened me that he'll jump off the cliff if I disagree...., I was terrified. How can I even like some selfish jerk who only cared about himself and his statuses.... He just wants to USE me to earn more respect..
I turned around and ran.
I'd rather see him die then like him.
Wow.... I never knew this happened.... I.... I really want to just go beat up that guy if he wasn't dead already.
It was true.... He did die... And it's my fault..
The boy I met yesterday really did jump, and soon the police came to investigate.
They soon dismissed the case as suicide, and his body was buried.
I-I couldn't step up and tell them.... It really was my fault....
I never want this to happen again...
I never want to like anyone again...
Please help me... I'm scared...someone help me.... PLEASE....
I'm scared... I'm so scared... The-...the darkness is coming.... HELP ME...
I'm so selfish, asking for help... But please listen to my prayers... Please....help...
What is happening.... I don't get what's happening anymore...
I suppose I'll just keep reading....
Before the next entry was a bunch of ripped up pages, probably torn my herself.
But the next entry was from a month after the incident.., which is strange because she told me she recorded in her diary at least twice a week... I wonder what happened....
This is happening more and more.... Just like....like what....Mother said.... Before she died... Mother told my Father that I must stay hidden from society, and Father promised her that the day she died in the hospital... But now Father broke that promise and sent me to school.., thinking that it'll be better for me to understand how to survive in the real world.... But I don't want to live..... Someone kill me....
There was a festival... And believe it or not, I was actually happy for once! Capricorn asked me to go with him to the festival and I cheerfully agreed! I've never been to a festival..., and I definitely haven't been to a festival with a friend! We had lots of fun there and all my worries seems to be washed away....
I've decided now.....
I will live for Capricorn...
Ya know, here's another depressing story from LIBI! 😄
Kk, I think I ruined your summer....
NO WORRIES!
Part 2 will be coming out soon! 😊
UPDATE:
The STUPID PIDGEY finally left my house...
And now a Sparrow is sitting in front of my house...
