So, this is a thing my friend wanted me to edit/put up. She and whoever else wrote it –I didn't ask who, but there are names of the people per chapter– gave and entrusted this to me, so I'll make the edited version.
This is by my friend herself. I take no credit for this AT ALL. She's taken a well-known CP and have added her own spin to it. The only thing I'm changing in the father's name, 'cause it was originally the same name as the CP –you know, a Jr. and senior kind of thing.
Enjoy~
Diary Log by Jeffery Woods - Entry 1
My name's Jeffery Woods, but most people refer to me as Jeff, and by 'most people,' I mean my family.
I always had a hard time making friends, but my brother told me he was the only one I needed. Liu never had a problem making friends, though. Probably because he puts himself out there, while I, on the other hand, got into fights with anyone that I thought was looking at me funny.
Liu was there for me, even in the worst of times. He covers up for me, bailing me out of any and all the trouble I get into. I guess it's what a big brother should do, protect the ones he loves.
Tomorrow might just be the best day of my life. Our mother told us we were moving. See, we live in a dirt-poor town where Liu and I go to a run-down school. Mom had gotten a job opportunity, a very big one. I guess she grew tired of paying the school board a monthly fee because of how much money she makes. That, and our good-for-nothing father takes whatever money she has left from taking care of us kids.
I've felt bad for her when she comes home, barely able to make it through the front door after working from six AM 'til around two in the the next morning some weeks.
The good news was shared with us this afternoon, along with a load of crap. As I've said before, the moving part was great, possibly the best thing in my life. The bad news?
My abusive father re-proposed, and my mom accepted.
I didn't know if she was drunk or not, but Liu and I pleaded and begged for her to change her mind, but her response was, "I have to have somebody to help around here."
As if Liu and I don't do enough already.
So, we started packing, planning to hit the road in the morning, AFTER she took us out of school, of course, but I don't see why we have to go at all.
