A few months have passed now. It is the middle of April. Things have slowly been getting worse. Today I have feeling that it's about to get a lot worse.
It was early morning. I got up and got dressed before going downstairs to breakfast. It was a Saturday so I decided to stay home. There is less chance of something really bad happening then…right?
I looked outside. It was raining again. Even more reason to stay home. I decided to go and watch TV. I grabbed some breakfast and then headed towards the other room. I put my breakfast down on the table and turned the TV on. A short while later I went to get a drink. I got up and was about to walk through the door when my Dad came through. He walked straight in to me. He spilt the glass of icy water he was holding down me causing me to step back in surprise and hit the door.
I sighed and went to get changed. After that I picked a book off the shelf and spent the morning in my room reading.
By the afternoon the weather had brightened up. I decided to go out for a bit. I phoned Lucy and arranged to meet her at the beach which is nearby. We often go there and we've walked up the cliff there many times.
I set out and soon got to the normal meeting place. I stood at the wall and looked out over the sea. It was fairly calm. I watched as the waves hit the shore. A few little kids were down on the beach running towards the waves, then running and screaming back when the waves got close.
The tide was coming in fast and would soon be against the wall and splashing against the lower rocks by the cliff.
I was deep in thought when Lucy suddenly spoke from behind me. I jumped slightly and then turned around smiling.
We stood for a while talking and watching the tide come in. The sea was soon splashing up against the wall so we stepped back and headed towards the cliff.
We started up the rocky cliff path. We could feel the light spray of water from the sea as it splashed off the sharp rocks below.
As I was walking along I glanced at the sea. The sun was shining brightly now and it reflected off the sea causing a golden glow. It all seemed so perfect.
I took another step forwards and suddenly slipped. I fell off the side of the cliff and only just managed to grab hold of the sharp edge.
The rock cut in to my fingers. Blood poured down the rock. I cried out in pain. Above me I could just see Lucy trying to reach me…trying to help me.
I could hear the waves hitting the sharp rocks below. I closed my eyes for a second and then reached up to grab Lucy's outstretched hand.
I just managed to wrap my hand around hers when suddenly my other hand slipped off the edge. I felt Lucy move forwards with the sudden weight which caused me to slip lower. The ice cold sea splashed me more now causing me to shiver.
Lucy pulled me up slowly. I grabbed the sharp, blood stained edge again and, with help, pulled myself back on to the rocky cliff path.
We both sat breathing heavily. We struggled to our feet and stayed as close as possible to the cliff face. We hardly dared to even look out towards the sea as we walked as quickly as possible down the path. As soon as we reached the bottom of the path we ran as fast as we could. We headed towards my house as it was closest.
We were just about home when it started raining again. It was fine rain which soaked us within seconds.
We walked through the front door, dripping wet, and rushed upstairs before anyone saw.
I changed out my wet, and now red clothes, and handed some dry clothes to Lucy to change in to.
We both sat in silence. After a minute I got up, picked up the Diary and opened it to todays date.
I saw a gold glow then it magically scratched in the days events. I knew there was still worse to come but what did the Diary have planned?
