The Journal

Once upon a time there was a little family made just of a dad a mom and a small daughter called Susie. The mother and the father didn’t had a family anymore so they only had each other. Even so the family was very happy. Susie was 6 years old, and all the weekends they used to go to the park and eat ice cream. Everything was great, or at least it seemed like it.

One day the mother got very ill. They diagnosed cancer and that she had no cure. She was hospitalized and she started getting weaker and weaker. Susie and her dad will not leave the hospital. Susie would cry every day and told her mom to get well soon so they would go to the park like before. Susie made her mother to promise that she will wet better. A few days latter her mother died. On the funeral all the friends where there, everybody was sad and crying except Susie. She didn’t even shed a tear, she only saw everybody around her crying and depressed.

Days, weeks, months passed.5 years had passed since the death of susie’s mother. Her dad was dating one of the richest ladies of the city. She was called Janette Smith. You could tell that they where deeply in love and that Janette loved Susie. Although Susie had never tried to communicate nor tried to get to know Jeanette. Susie sense the dead of her mother had not smiled and didn’t had many friends. She was introverted and didn’t showed her feelings

Siusi's dad and Jeannette got married. and they moved to the mansion of Jeannette’s family. Susie got to a new school and had a different live compared to the one she had before. Susie’s birthday was getting closer and Jeannette was planning a party for her. She starts getting all the things that Susie likes. A few days before the party Jeannette was missing the gift that she will give her on the party. She strats to peek on Susie to see what things do she really want.

One day while Susie was at school Jeannette went into Susie’s room. She starts to look around things. she got desperate and jumped to bed to get a little thinking. She was looking at the roof and when she turned her head to the pillow she noticed a little pink and cute notebook with a cute little doll picture on the cover. She took it and opened it. in the first page it said Susie’s journal. She kept going until she got to the day when they got married. Jeannette got curious and started to read. A few minutes later she closed the notebook and started to cry. She left the notebook like it was before she took it and left the room.
