February 18th,
I left early this morning to search for Jesse. I don't know where I will go to search. I figure though that if I walk long enough I might get lucky. I'll just have to be careful. I don't think that anyone knows that I drank the water. I no longer have to worry about that man. He died years ago.
I feel almost FREE! I'm finally going to get out of this place that has been nothing but a hell hole since Addie died. I'm getting away from all the memories, memories of my mother looking at me with suvh hate in her eyes and then her and my father dying. And of when Jesse left me... But I will be free of all of this! free!

Later on the same day,

I just thought of something so horrible I want to close it out of my mind and never think of it again. Here it is: What if the man in the yellow suit told someone else? What if someone else believed Miles's wife when she was in the insane asylum. We may not be safe yet! I feel as if a balloon inside of me has been popped with a pin. And now all that is left is a pile of shriveled rubber no fun at all and with no use at all and no purpose other than be tossed aside.
But its no use 'what if-ing' it makes no sense even thinking about it. If it happens I'll think about it then but in the mean time I need to focus on the task at hand: finding Jesse and the other Tucks.
I am not sure where to look though. I don't know where they could have gone they could be on an island in the middle of the ocean for all I know. So the big question is, where to look? I remember all those years ago Jesse telling me about all the places that he went. I have no idea where to start even. They don't have relatives or anyone they could visit as far as I know.

So where to go?

Wait! I remember Jesse telling me once about how he always wanted to show me the Eiffel Tower! Maybe that's where he is! Its as good a guess as any I suppose. I don't have any other ideas at this point so that is where I will go.
Do you remember the frog I poured the water on? Of course you don't because there is no 'you' no one is reading this, no one ever will. Well, that frog is still here. It still does not really like me but I know where it goes because it is one of the only things about my past that is exactly the same. I will be sad to leave it. Maybe I could bring it with me...
No. That would be unfair. It was bad enough when I poured the water on it without its consent, I could not take it away from its home. So I will go alone to journey to a place where I am not even sure will bring me even close to my goal. I would be lying if I said that I am not scared to leave my home. I am scared. Although this place is so full of bad memories it is all I have. But I can't stay here any longer not without trying at least to find Jesse.
So I will leave. Starting tomorrow I am leaving to find my future, my family in a sense. The only almost family that I have. I am going to go for now though and try to find everything that I need to be able to begin my journey to find my family. I am afraid to go but I am more afraid to stay and never see them ever again so here I go...
