I can't believe what I did. I kissed Velma. Not dream Velma, the real one. We were screaming at each other for god-knows-what and she pinned me against the wall, and she looked me straight in the eye and said she hated me. We always remind each other of our hatred, but this time was different and I don't know why. I wanted to scream the same words back at her, but all I felt were my eyes welling up. For some reason, the evil smirk on her face disappeared, and she loosened her grip on me. I couldn't stop the hot tears and anger and disappointment from streaming down my cheeks. She started to back away slowly, and turned away to go to her cell. I stopped her, and asked if she actually meant what she said. She replied with, "I don't know", but for some reason I took that as a no. And that's when I pulled her in. I could feel her eyes widen in shock as I tasted her lips. I pulled away really quickly to keep from embarrassing myself any further. I don't know how I'm going to face her tomorrow. She probably hates me and she's probably going to tell everyone about it and how pathetic I am. Not wanting to look back, I cried on the way back to my cell. I guess this is what happens when you act on impulse...

Billy gave me this god-awful dress today that makes me look like a fricken' lampshade and said that I have to wear it in court while knitting. What kind of a dumbass is he? I was the one who came up with the idea of me being pregnant and now all of Chicago loves me. I don't need him; I can defend myself in front of the judge in two weeks. After I fired Billy, I saw Velma at the end of the hallway talking to Mama. I didn't want to run into her, so I ran the other way. I would've gotten away if only I didn't trip over a stupid chair. Billy saw and mocked me, which caught Velma's attention. I caught a glimpse of her speed-walking my way, so I scrambled to my feet. While trying to pull away, she managed to get a grip on my wrist. Next thing I know she had shoved me into a closet and she's biting into my lower lip. I couldn't believe what was happening; it was just like my dreams, only better. My head was up in the clouds, and I returned the kiss with overwhelming passion. It lasted for what seemed like hours. When she pulled away, I noticed adoration gleaming in her deep brown eyes. She didn't say a word to me when she stormed out. I don't know what that means for us now, but I think I'm in love with her. I know it's crazy because just two weeks ago I told her I wanted her swinging, but the way I feel about her is how I wanted to feel around Amos or Fred, but I never actually cared for either of them the way I do about Velma. She kissed me today, so that has to mean she likes me now, right? Or maybe she's just playing with my feelings, but I don't want to think about that.

They hanged the Hunyak; I can't believe it. Out of all of the people in Murderess's Row, I was certain that she was the only one innocent of any crime. But she couldn't afford a lawyer, so she lost her appeal. How screwed up is this city? I have to get Billy back; he needs to be there for my trial next week or else fate will have the same thing in store for me. I really don't know if I should keep this thing with Velma going. One minute we're alone and her hand is crawling up my thigh, and before I realize it someone walks in and then she slaps me in the face so hard that I turn into a tomato. Then I punch her or whatever to reciprocate the feeling. I don't want to hurt her, and she said that she feels awful about causing me pain, but we can't let anyone know about us. Everyone thinks that the "baby" is Amos'. The court already knows I cheated on him with Fred; if they found out I've been messing around with Velma, they won't have any sympathy and that'll be the death of me. Velma and I don't talk much when we're alone, mostly because we're using our mouths to do other things. I want to tell her how serious my feelings are for her, but I always feel like it's the wrong time to do so. I guess the thing between us is just physical, for now at least. I don't want to mess this up, especially not by getting hanged or doing something to cause the same thing to happen to her. If I get Billy back on board, that might not be a problem anymore, but I need him NOW.
