I know this has probably been done before but I wanted to have ago any way. It shouldn't contain any spoilers. I know I've already got one story on the go but this was sat on my computer, so I thought I might as well post it.

These are extracts from Abby's diary when she was younger. I've probably got the dates and stuff wrong so please don't kill me. I also made some things up as you will see if you read this. Just a short chapter to start with, please tell me if I should continue.

As usual I don't own anything.

Forever Young

She picked up the dusty book and looked at the cover 'Abby's Diary' she contemplated leaving it where it was but opened it instead,

September 1973

Mrs Fairfax gave me this notebook today, she told me I could write whatever I want in it and I don't have to show any one, like a diary. She said if I ever wanted to talk about what I wrote or about what happens at home I could tell her. I won't though, I don't want other people to know.

November 1973

Dad's gone. I thought he'd come back but he still isn't here. Mom's in bed, I can't get her up, she won't even look at me. Eric keeps pestering me for stuff, he's nearly four now, I give him biscuits to shut him up. I don't know what else to do, I wish dad would come home but I don't think he will, he took most of his things.

Mom was screaming at him, he was yelling back, it went on for ages, then he left and it was quiet. Eric was in my room with me and we heard mom moving around the apartment. I wanted to go out and see if she was all right but I didn't in case she got mad with me. Eventually the front door slammed, I thought it was dad so I came out of my room, he wasn't there, neither was mom. She came back the next day and went straight to her room. He's still not here, why won't he come home?

February 1973

Me and mom had an argument I was trying to get her to take her medicine, she won't, she says she doesn't need it. Dad used to make her take it, but she doesn't any more, she shouted at me like she used to at dad. I gave up I didn't want her to shout any more. I wish dad was here so she'd take her medicine and get better. Does she not want to get better?
