Diagonal, top left to bottom right, duty free: ambulance
Dear Diary,
I went to check on Mum before I went to the post office and the supermarket and she was asleep. But she wouldn't wake up. So I rang Douglas and Dad and Douglas rang an ambulance. Douglas is with me now and Dad has gone to the hospital. Douglas is telling me a story about being a pilot but I'm not really listening. I'm too worried about Mum. The aumbulance came and the lights were really bright and I nearly fainted. Douglas has been with me all night. Dad said he would ring from the hospital when he heard anything about Mum and he hasn't rang yet. I'm really worried. I asked Douglas why Mum and Dad were fighting and explained about Martin and how I want him to be my significant other. Douglas said that if I want a boy to be my significant other it might mean I am something that Douglas called gay. He said that might be why Dad shouted at me and Mum told me not to tell anyone. Except Mum didn't want me to get picked on and Dad was just being mean Douglas said. I don't understand why Dad would be mean about me being gay. Douglas said he doesn't understand either but some people are like that. Douglas sounded angry when he said that but it just makes me feel sad. It's sad that Dad is only happy if I love girls. Because he doesn't understand how nice Martin is. Or why he is my best friend. Douglas posted my letter for me. I hope Dad rings soon. I hope Douglas and I can go and visit Mum in hospital and we can take her grapes and a card. Mum likes grapes. I miss Mum already, I hope she doesn't die. I don't know what I would do without Mum, I don't want to live with Dad and not with Mum. Douglas said I need to go to bed and he will wake me up when Dad rings. I am tired actually.
Lots of love, Arthur.
