Authors Note: I apologize for the explanation of Double D's outfit from last time and now for this time, his shirt is a black sweater but not thick so you can wear it as a shirt that's why he has it on. From now on I will call it a shirt. Warning: may have typos!
Double D walked away with tears in his eyes as he thought 'If they only knew, but why should I just relive the pain to satisfy there prying need'
As Double D thought about this he ended up day dreaming and wonders right into Sarah. 'oh no this is all I need right now' thought Double d staring down at Sarah. Sarah had grown to be about 5"4' but Double D over the summer grew much more and was 5"6'.
"Move it Double D!" Sarah screamed at Double D, Double D started to walk away but
Sarah grabbed him by the back of his black shirt. "You look different Double D, oh I know where is your other hat?" Double D didn't answer her and decided to examine the journal in his right hand.
"Fine but I like that journal, is there anything written in it." Sarah went to snatch the journal out of Double D's hand but he was to quick, he moved his hand up over his head so even if she jumped for it she couldn't reach it.
"Fine." And with that Sarah walked away
Double D nodded and walked back towards his house hopping he could go back to the tree in the back yard.
Back at Nazz's house Eddy and Ed are still waiting for Nazz when they see her come running round the corner.
"Well?" Eddy asks in anticipation
"Well, I had to call him Edward to get his attention and, he is ummm not like I remember him." Nazz says sadly
"That's not a good thing is it?" Ed asks
"No lumpy it isn't, wait you had to call him Edward, wow there really must be something wrong." Eddy says in surprise "Did you find anything out like why he has changed?" Eddy asks Nazz
"All I know is he is really obsessed with this maroon book thing." Nazz says
"The book of the evil rat men!" shouts Ed
"No you ding bat, Nazz I saw him with that book when he got out of the car. What do you think that means?" asks Eddy
"Well, I think that means we need that book or journal or whatever that thing is if we want to find out what's wrong with Double D, come on." Nazz said while walking away back toward Double D's house
Double d was now walking off in a totally different direction of his house, he had changed his mind and was now going to the stream in the forest. When he reached the bank of the stream he sat down and again stared at the book.
'Should I open' thought Double D why slowly caressing the wilted rose on the middle of the cover 'I must, but yet I feel so rude. NO she would have wanted it this way'
Double finally got the guts and reached past the rose slowly pulling back the cover of the journal which revealed the first golden embroidered page. Slowly Double starts to read the page to himself:

August 28th
Today was a great day my boyfriend came to Apple Cove, he is only staying for a month which isn't a bad thing because I always see him every summer. He gave me my birthday present early because he isn't going to be here. Anyway he got me this journal, a bouquet of roses I put my favorite rose on the front of this journal, and on top of all that he actually gave me his hat. I know to someone who doesn't know Double D it isn't very special see though, he never took it off or let anyone else wear it. But he gave it to me and I am never going to take it off, I promised that to him. And I don't have to worry about him not wearing a hat at all because he told me he had more, but I think he just said that so I didn't give it back. Anyway tomorrow is my last day with him, I'll miss him but he promised to write. To make tomorrow special I am going to show Double D my favorite spot by our stream in Apple Cove. Well I can't wait till tomorrow.
Signed,
Katie
When Double D finished a single tear ran down is cheek and landed right on her name,
'She could always read me like an open book'
Double D then closed the book and set it next to him, slowly more tears ran down his face so he buried his head into his knees and cried.
But not far away Nazz, Eddy, and Ed were catching up to Double D.
