Dear Diary,

Hi..it's me, Mary! Today was such an odd day! It all started today morning! I had just woken up when

I heard my parents talking about something in the next room...I couldn't hear them clearly so I didn't know

what they were saying. Suddenly my bedroom door swung open and my mother came in with a smile on her

face as she opened her arms and gave me a hug. My dad was standing in the doorway and was smiling at me.

I smiled and looked at my mom. "What's the special occasion?" I asked her. My mother's eyes grew big and

she looked at me in shock. She looked back at my dad before looking back at me. She grabbed my shoulders

and said, "It's your birthday sweety! How could you forget?" She asked looking at me weirdly. My eyes grew

and i just sat there on my bed. I looked at my mom before finally saying.."I..I don't know.." My dad laughed

and tried to cover it by coughing.. I looked at my dad and began laughing with him. My mom stood up and

walked towards my dad. She gave him a kiss then turned back to me. "Oh well..im off to the store..."She said

while looking at my dad. My dad looked at me then laughed. "Oh right!" He ran to me and hugged me. My mom

walked away and left us alone. As soon as my mom left the house, my dad stopped hugging me and looked at

me sternly and in a mean rolled his eyes and stomped out my room. I shook in fear and covered myself

with my flower decorated blanket. My dad slammed the door and all i could hear was his heavy steps as he walked

down the stairs and into the living room. I got up and put on my bunny slippers. Im turning 8 today and i forgot.

I walked down the stairs and made my way into the kitchen. My dad saw me and he sighed in annoyance and

followed me. "What do you think you're doing?!" He shouted at me. I jumped in fear and shivered. "I'm hungry.."

I whispered. My dad raised his hand and pointed upstairs. "Go upstairs! You don't deserve to eat!" I ran

upstairs and cried into my pillow. After what seemed forever, there was a knock coming from the front door.

I got up and hid on the stairs. I watched as my dad got up the couch to answer the door. Instead of expecting my mom..

i saw a police officer..."Are you Henry Williams?" The man asked. "Yeah that's me.." My dad answered slowly.

The man looked at my dad before slowly saying in a sad voice, "I'm sorry sir, but your wife passed away."

My dad's eyes widened and a tear ran down the side of his cheek. "W-What?!" He said while stumbling backwards.

"She died in a car accident." The man said, then he simply walked away. My dad touched his fore head and fell

onto a chair. He began sobbing. I began crying and that's when he looked at me. "Y-You!" He pointed at me

and shouted. "I HATE YOU!"He stood up and ran towards me. I ran to my room and locked the door, and cried even

more. My dad began pounding on the door and shouting giberish on the other side. I hid in my closet and here

i am..writing in my diary... My dad is only pounding louder and harder. Im afraid what he would do if he somehow

got through..Im here crying and this is all i could do..

Little Mary P.S. I will write more when i feel better!
