Vision was blurred as she tip toed in. The house was dark and quiet. Stared at the clock on the stove that read 1:24. Sighed and dropped her jacket on the floor and climbed up stairs without a sound, avoiding the steps that creaked. Walked past Syd's room and Kamron's room. Fianlly made it to her room and collasped onto the bed, stared at the ceiling. Tried to sleep but her mind didn't allow it. She closed her door and turned on the side table lamp. Pulled out her Mother's diary and started reading it silently.
March 21, 1975
Dear Diary,
Mom was going crazy today when she found out who my boyfriend was. I don't know why though. Matt Stone is the sweetest guy I know.
Daddy? Mom knew Dad when she was 13? Her mind raced and she keep reading.
Father doesn't like him either. I don't know what to do. They have forbiddon me to speak to him. Something about what his father is. I just don't understand.

Dear Diary,
Matt and I are secretly meeting again tonight. He says he loves me. I love him too. I can feel it in my heart... we'll be together till the day we die.
Swallowed a lump in her throat and brushed away tears. Mom didn't know how right she was. Grabbed a tissue and blowed her nose then read one more entry. Her heart nearly stopped as she did.
November 24, 1977
Dear Diary,
Oh be still my heart. In my mad rush to pack I stumbled upon my old diary and I feel I should update it. I am 15 now and still madly in love with Matt. Tonight we are running away together, because of the sudden plan my parents have. They are trying to keep us apart, to do so, we are leaving the state and are moving far far away. I just couldn't stand the news. They shall not tear me away from Matt. I suggested we run. Matt agreed after I begged him and told him if we don't, we may never see each other again. In a year, we shall wed. Oh I am so happy yet frightened. What will happen to us?
That was the end of the entry. She put the diary away and sat back against her headboard with her eyes closed. Mind racing.
