Dear Diary,I've neglected to write in one of you since the age of 7. Let me explain what's happened since then. When I was 12 Mom and Dad got a divorce. That was really hard for me. I moved in with my dad in a apartment. I really hated both of them for a long time. But I eventually got over it. But the next year Elizabeth (mom) got married to a man named Phil. I never really liked Phil and I never will. Obviously my mother has made some bad decisions in her life. 1 being the divorce and the other of course is Phil. But the worst was last year when Daddy married a woman by the name of Caroline something. He told me her last name before but I wasn't listening and didn't really care. So right about now I'm on a plane leaving my wonderful home and friends in Michigan to go to loser Washington to some town called La something. So basically my dad's moving me from my home because his slut wife Caroline (who by the way is only 30 and my dad's 60 ew) grew up there. Sounds fun huh? How about no. I am officially not speaking to Richard and never really spoke to Caroline so it doesn't even matter. But there's one plus and one only. Daddy bought me a Mercedes-Benz SL600 Roadster. I have wanted this car forever. He said it's a present. But it's really just a bribe to be nice and act happy about the move. Which I won't. Well the plane's landing now. Better go...

Tree. Tree. Tree. Tree. Tree. And another tree. Yup I love this town. All I've seen since we got off the plane was tree after tree. A very gloomy place. I like the rain. I really do but I don't like when it's gloomy all the time. "Caroline are we there yet?" I asked for the 10th time. Yes I knew. I was keeping track. It was a game I was playing with myself. I was going to see how many times I could ask before she had a fit. It was quite amusing seeing her try to hold it all back. And of course she would. Even though Richard was making me move to Washington I was still his little girl. He loves me most. Way more than Caroline. Of course this is something he would never admit. But it was true.
"No not yet dear," she said turning to look at me and she smiled. I stuck my tongue out at her and she laughed. "Don't act so childish Jay," she said smiling. "How many times do I have tell her to call me Jaylee? "I prefer Jaylee," I said smugly. "Jaylee calm down," said Richard. "Um Henry could you please inform Mr. Wattson that I am very calm and just a tad excited because I will be receiving my new automobile once we get to the house." "Come on Jay you should get used to calling it home," Caroline said smiling again. What is it with this woman and smiling? I swear. My home is in Michigan, I spat. I wasn't exactly over the move yet. I opened my bag and pulled out a blue journal.
Dear Diary, I'm extremely sick of Caroline. I truly cant stand that woman. She keeps talking about being excited about this move. Why doesn't she get the fact that I want to stay in Michigan. She had us move to the place she grew up. Why doesn't she understand that I want to stay in the place I grew up in? She's such a narcissist. And then this place. I'd be sorta ok with moving if only it was in a more decent place. Somewhere I actually liked. But Washington come on. I really
'Soulja Boy up in dis hoe. What me crank dat watch me roll.' It was my phone ringing. Thats Keiara. "Hello," I said. "HIII JAY!!" shouted two voices. "Hi Keiara hi Andrea. Whats up?" I asked. "We wanted to check up on you," said Keiara. "Are you okay? What's it like?" asked Andrea. "I'm okay. I'll send you guys some pictures later," I said trailing off. "Come on cheer up hun. It'll be okay. Just remember no matter what you can call us day or night," said Keiara. "Uh you can call Keiara day or night. But don't come callin me at 3 in the morning. You better learn your time zones," Andrea said laughing. "Right," I said laughing. "Well always remember you can call us I mean me whenever you want," Keiara said. "We gotta go. Love you loser," Andrea said. "Love you hun," Keiara said. "Love you dorks. Bye!"
I said closing the phone. "Was that Keiara and Andrea?" Richard asked. I turned my head and ignored him. All he could do was sigh. He truly hated the silent treatment. I wonder how long before he cracks. "Caroline are we there yet?" I asked in a whiny tone. "Actually yes," she said clapping her hands. Like a child I swear. "Stop acting so childish Caroline," I said in a mocking tone. She turned towards me and opened her mouth but Henry interrupted "Cheer up Ms. Jay I'm sure youll learn to love it," he said opening his door.
"Yeah right," I said getting out of the car. I looked at the house. It was pretty big. And really nice. But right now that didn't matter. I ran over to Richard and went in his pocket. I got the keys and ran to the garage and opened. I looked inside and there it was. My baby in black brand new. "AHHHHHH!" I shrieked at the top of my lungs.
"MY BABYS HERE! YES!" I shouted running over to it. I ran my fingers over the hood then sat in it. "I love you," I said to it. Richard cleared his throat. I turned around and he had the keys dangling in his hand. I ran over to him and grabbed the keys. Before you knew it I was back in the car. I put the keys in the ignition and was on my way. "Be home by 7!" Richard shouted.
"Pff I'll be home whenever I feel like it," I said turning on my radio. My favorite song was on the radio. J. Holiday 'Bed'. I started to sing along just enjoying my new car. "Watch the sunlight peak over the horizons. Ou-Ou, Ou-Ou, Ou-Ou, Ou-Ou. The Sun aint the only thing that shinin'. Ou-Ou, Ou-Ou, Ou-Ou, Ou-Ou. Now, I'mma send you out into the world with my love. Tell everybody aye, aye, aye."

"I'm home!" I shouted walking inside. I walked into the kitchen and saw Henry. "Did you cook?" I asked. "Chicken," he said smiling. "Would you like your plate?" he asked. "Yes please," I said rubbing my stomach. Caroline and Richard came walking in. "Oh hi Jay I you need to put all of your stuff away," she said. "Already done," said Henry. "Thanks Henry," I said smiling. "Okay well then you need to get all your stuff ready for school tomorrow." "Already done," Henry said. "Everything's where I like it?" I asked. "Yes ma'am." "Thanks a bunch Henry," I said. "Um okay well I'm just gonna go to bed," she said walking out. Once she was out of sight Richard began to speak, "You need to be nicer."
"Henry could you tell Richard I'm always nice," I said. "Stop it!" he shouted. "You're gonna be happy that we moved. You're gonna be nice to Caroline, and you're gonna talk to me!" I looked at him and stared. The microwave tinged and I walked over to it. I got out my plate then got a pop from the refrigerator. I walked out and up to my room. I sat at my desk and hooked up my ipod. I changed it to Chris Brown 'Kiss Kiss'. I didn't say anything. I just sat there and ate.
So many thoughts were running through my mind. Who does he think he is? What happened to him? Why'd he change so much? Why doesn't he understand me anymore? I finished eating and put on my pajamas. I set my alarm clock and got in bed. I heard Henry come in and take my plate. "Goodnight Jaylee," he whispered before he walked out. "Goodnight Henry," I said right before the tears finally started to fall.
