Dear Diary,

I really need to learn how to man up and face my dad. But seeing him for the first time just made me want to run away. He's very tall, a bit lean, has very dark eyes, brown hair and I noticed like three strands of white in it. Doesn't look old. I wonder if he has a girlfriend or wife. Darn, I should've stayed and talked to him…. But it's not that easy. I just met my dad for the first time in my life and almost wet my pants. I'll do better next time…whenever next time is…. And I hope I didn't get Toushiro in trouble. I noticed the security guards after us and they could've jotted down the plate number on Toushiro's car. Next time I see my dad, I'll man up and talk to him face to face….I have to start studying my lines for the play. Johnny and Mr. JohnDean want it to be perfect. Speaking of Johnny, he's been acting weird. He looks tired and that charm and smile he always has isn't there anymore. It's probably nothing and hopefully he'll be himself by tomorrow. Well, 'till next time.

- H.M.

"Perfect!" Mr. JohnDean exclaimed, running up to the stage and patting Momo's head.

The lights dimmed as the other students left the stage and sat down, chatting with their friends. Johnny skipped over to Momo and embraced her.

"You did fabulous! You started out weak, something we have to fix, but you rocked the ending! Ugh, be right back. Someone's calling me."

"Thanks." Momo said, patting the knee-length skirt she wore.

The clock turned five as students began to gather their things and leave. Toushiro stood with his hands inside his pocket and his Track and Field messenger bag hanging from a shoulder as he waited for Momo to finish. For the past three days, he waited for her until she was done rehearsing for the play. And silently, they would walk home together. Johnny would join them for the first five minutes of the trip but would then turn once his house came into view.

Momo wasn't sure why lately Toushiro decided to wait for her after his track practice, but she wasn't complaining. Walking home with him comforted her, even if they didn't say anything to each other. He would just wait for her in the auditorium, watch her practice; and once she was finished, she would gather her things, go up to him and smile. That smile would tell him that she was all set and silently, they would leave. When Johnny joined them, he would make them talk by asking ridiculously entertaining questions about themselves.

"Johnny, I'm leaving. You coming with us?"

The boy shook his head and a forced smile came rose to his face. Something wasn't right.

"Who was it that called you?"

"Some…one…"

Momo raised her brow teasingly. "Who?"

Johnny rolled his eyes and laughed. "Gosh you're nosy. I'll tell you some other time, but I have to run home now. Goodness gracious, walking home with Toushiro again? Use protection!"

Momo blushed and walked away. When would Johnny learn that she and Toushiro weren't on that stage yet?

She picked up her tote bag and walked over to Toushiro, who took out a bottle of cold water as he began coughing.

"You know, you should really do something about that cough."

"It'll go away."

"No it won't." Momo said. "It's getting worse. You should see a doctor."

"You're keeping record of my coughs?"

"Not me. Jenaline is. She told me last night that if your cough gets worse by tomorrow, she's taking you to your doctor."

Toushiro shook his head and walked away, Momo soon following him.

"Every time I ask you about your coughs, you act if I've caught you doing something that you don't want to speak about."

The end of Toushiro's lips rose and Momo grabbed his arm.

"Are you doing something….that you're not supposed to."

"Just forget about it…."

"No." She grabbed his arm again and made him turn around. "Something's going on."

"And what if something's going on? I'll fix it myself!"

Toushiro walked faster, his face reddening a bit, but Momo ran after him. She wasn't going to let him go like that. His coughs were getting worse and they were worrying Jenaline.

Once she caught up to him, she grabbed his wrists and pulled him towards her. Shocked by her strength, Toushiro almost collided with her as he placed his hands on her arms and steadied them. Once again, they were standing very close; but Momo tried not to let it get to her.

"You're smoking, aren't you?"

His eyes widened for a second, but his stoic expression suddenly came to view.

"Why would you-"

"I'm not stupid. You smell like smoke sometimes, your coughing, and-"

"It was only a few-"

"No, it wasn't only a few, Toushiro. I can't believe your dumb enough to smoke. Someone dared you, right? I thought you were smarter than that."

He brushed his hair and stared back at her. "I'll quit-"

"Yeah you're quitting. I can't believe you're stupid enough to smoke. I thought you were a smart person…"

"I'm sorry…" he muttered with a sigh.

"Don't apologize to me, apologize to your body and Jenaline. Jenaline's worried about you."

"She's worried about you too."

Momo looked at him confusingly. "What? Why?"

"She knows that we went to your mom's workplace for answers about your dad! And she knows that we went to see your father a few days ago."

Momo took a deep breath. "You told her?"

Toushiro shrugged. "Barely. She suspected what was going on now for weeks. She and that officer, Amy, have been talking for the past three weeks about you wanting to meet your father. They're not stupid, Momo."

"I never suggested they were, but I was afraid that they, especially Jenaline, wouldn't allow me to know about him."

"Jenaline wouldn't deny that from you. You deserve to know who your father is and she's not going to deny that from you, especially when you have no other relative around."

Guilt settled in her eyes as she stared down at her feet. "Jenaline must be angry with me now…."

"She's not, trust me. She just wants you to tell her everything this time. She's not going to stop you from seeing your father."

Momo smiled as she looked up at him. His head was slightly lowered but before she could've blushed at the closeness, he cupped her cheek and kissed her lips. Momo's eyes flew wide open but she didn't pull back. Toushiro's kiss, besides being unexpected, was great….

So great that she forgot that they were still outside and few students from their school were staring at them, gossiping with each other.

"Isn't that the girl from the newspaper? The whore's daughter?"

"Yeah, that's her. And supposedly she didn't commit the murder and is innocent… Look at her…. Grinding her ass against Toushiro. Wasn't he going out with Sayuri?

"Wait, he has a girlfriend?"

"That's what the kid from math class told me."

"Does Sayuri know?"

"I don't know…But this will be proof just in case she doesn't believe us…"

The boy took out his cellphone, pressed the camera button, and began taking pictures.

Momo was still shocked from the kiss Toushiro had given her five hours ago. A cool breeze entered her room, giving her goose bumps as she checked her Google-mail account, eyebrows furrowing as she stared at the odd email. She didn't know who the sender was, but something in her told her to open it. She opened it and read the message.

Bitches like you are never innocent….

Momo's eyes popped wide open as she reread the message for long torturing seconds. Who sent her this? But most importantly, how did the person get her email address? The only person who knew her email was Johnny and knowing him, he would never send her something like this. All fingers point at him, and even though he was acting peculiar lately, Momo was sure that he wasn't the one who sent her this. He couldn't be.

Swallowing hard, she noticed the attached file and prayed, clicking it and waiting as the file began to download. Taking a deep breath as the downloading soon finished, she clicked on it and waited as it opened: and when it did, Momo felt her stomach turn inside out and the food she consumed today crawl up her esophagus and almost to her mouth.

It was a picture of her and Toushiro kissing. It was when he had kissed her today in public. But who took this picture?

Whoever the person was, he/she succeeded in making her cry. She wiped the tears away as she suddenly realized the press and everyone who wanted a piece of her. People would enjoy a story of her kissing a boy. They would suddenly make false suggestions about her being a whore like her mother, having sex with more than one person, having STDs, and probably have had more than one abortion.

Her hands shook as she stared at the picture. Who was walking by them that could've taken this picture? She was so busy talking with Toushiro that she didn't look around her just to see who was walking by. She knew that some students from the high school were there, but she didn't know who.

Oh God, did this person send the picture to Toushiro as well?

He would be angry without a doubt. Toushiro didn't like being the center of attention, and a picture of them kissing surfing through the web would make him hate her. But she couldn't keep quiet as if it was a picture of nothing. She had to tell Toushiro, if not, then Jenaline. Hopefully Amy could help and see who sent the picture to her.

As soon as the thought registered into her head, Momo's laptop screen turned black. White letters suddenly appeared, a sentence forming of numbers and letters. Momo's heart pounded faster as her screen soon turned black.

Oh no…

She turned her laptop back on, a slight wave of relief traveling through her chest as the screen lit up and she was back at her desktop. But suddenly, everything began opening at once. Her web browser opened to her home page, but then the address on the address bar was erased and a new address was somehow typed in - a pornography one. Momo began to hyperventilate as pictures of nude women began to pop up, most of them with their legs wide opened and showing off their privates.

Trembling, Momo began to close the windows, but as she did, more windows were opened. Her Documents folder was opened and suddenly the pictures of her and her mother together by SixFlags, the beach, theater, zoo, and park were popping up and getting deleted.

"No…"

Momo couldn't lose those pictures. She was saving them in order to print them out and put them inside an album. That way, just in case her laptop ever crashed, she would have the pictures saved in print.

She tried going to her Recycling Bin, but once she got there, she noticed that the pictures were being deleted from there too. She didn't notice her tears falling until they landed on her keyboard.

"Please….stop…" she groaned, but whoever or whatever was doing this didn't halt.

Once all her pictures were gone, her iTunes opened and her favorite songs from there were deleted as well. Then came saved research papers from school, some games she enjoyed playing whenever she was bored, and finally her registry was damaged. Momo took a deep breath and all of the sudden, her screen turned black again.

Momo tried to turn her laptop on again, but this time, the screen remained black.

A photo of her and Toushiro kissing was surfing through the web and Momo couldn't do anything as her one and only laptop was destroyed.

"Momo,"

Her head shot up and she quickly wiped her tears away. Taking a deep breath, she closed her laptop and put it aside. She didn't want to tell Jenaline what happened just yet.

"C-Come in…."

The door opened and a red wide-eyed Jenaline appeared. Her whole fragile body was shaking as she held the phone towards Momo.

Something was wrong.

"Here, it's Johnny's mother."

Momo's brows furrowed as she grabbed the phone and placed it beside her right ear, her heart still pounding from the crashing of her laptop. She had never spoken to Johnny's mother before.

"H-Hello?"

"I-Is th-this Momo? Sweetie, a-are yo-you M-Momo?"

"Yes, it-it's me. Is something wrong?"

"Oh God yes! Johnny's not breathing! I just called the police!"

"What's wrong with him?"

"He was beaten! Someone beat my baby! He's not breathing! I heard a knock and when I opened the door, he was lying there! He's bleeding from the back of his head and nose! Oh my Lord, someone killed my baby!"

Chapter 10! Hope you guys enjoyed it! The whole hacking thing was "inspired" from when I was hacked. Remember? Anyway, that's how I felt when I was hacked: violated. It's not a nice feeling, it sucks, it's stupid, it's ILLEGAL, but there are violators out there and unfortunately fanfiction has violators in their websites. Another thing is the whole Johnny getting. Seriously, I would punch a hole in the wall if someone says that gay and lesbians DON'T get hurt just because they're homosexuals. In Iraq, homosexuals were gathered around, tortured, and then killed just because they were gay! In the U.S., there was a case in which a man was beat up and killed brutally when he came out of a gay club by 2 straight men! A lesbian in high school couldn't take her yearbook picture because she wanted to dress in a tuxedo! This world is very cruel & unfortunately there are a lot of ignorant people out there! Why can't we all just get along? Who cares if someone's gay, lesbian, etc...? Everybody calls homosexuality a "sin". I call it be your self! So, poor Johnny was beaten and I'm sure you guys already know why. Hopefully, it opened some eyes out there because the killing has to stop. I know there are some of you out there who're anti-gay. I don't care. I support equality. Ruby's a bisexual stubborn feminist: so you can keep harassing me (I seriously get harassed by people who love to send me PMs about why being gay is a sin, how being agnostic/atheist is bad and I'm going to hell, how Democrats suck...and I'm just like...what the hell...) about it, I don't care. I just go with the flow just to piss people off xD But anyway, away from those cockroaches (yeah, I insulted back, who cares? Not me!), and now towards my fans!

My fans out there...you...guys...are...freaking...AMAZING! Ruby's getting older and she has more stuff in her hands now, but I haven't forgotten about you guys! If I knew and met EVERY SINGLE PERSON out there who have supported me, I would give them the biggest hug ever and a slice of my best cakes! Whatever flavor you guys want!

For those who didn't know...I hate to cook...but I LOVE to bake! :D

REVIEW!

let the harassment begin...
