Thank you for reviewing, and thank you Izmadi for letting me know about LindsEy's name. Sorry.

Short chapter. Bad chapter. Will write more soon.

Dear Diary,

Wow, I can't even remember the last time I wrote in here. I guess I figured I was too old for a diary, but I found you tucked in my bag, and well... Maybe I need to tell my secrets. To someone who won't judge me or just make the situation worse.

I'm in love. It's official, and it's wonderful. He's the one. I sound like I'm a dreamer, but he is, I know it. And the fact that I leave him in exactly six weeks really makes me upset. He's the best thing that's happened to me since my mother's death. And that was years ago. I've never been happier.

He makes me feel so safe, but yet it's exciting too. It's nothing like I've felt before, and I don't want it to end. I can't imagine my life without him in it now, it just doesn't seem possible. He doesn't know it, but if I hadn't have met him, my life probably would've only gotten worse. He saved me...

Larry got what was coming to him. It was two weeks ago when he first had the nerve to lay a hand on my sister, and then threaten me. Since then I did some damage. Nothing major, nothing that would kill him. Just some pain that would hopefully get the message across that I'm not playing around. He threatened to kick me out of the ranch, but thankfully my aunt came and saved the day. She told us "teenagers are like this Larry, you can't just back out on them when they're having trouble". Whatever.

Dawn and Connor are so adorable! Their punishment is up, although I doubt it was really all that bad... Stuck in a barn with a person who you are very attracted to, all sweaty and... Well, you get the picture. If it was me and Spike, I doubt we'd get even one stall done...

Ugh, there's Faith calling me down for dinner. She hit it off with some guy named Lindsey last week, and ever since then, she's been all cheery. He's studying law, or going to be... And his parents are so controlling. His dad's a lawyer as well, and his mother... Well she's one of those homemakers, who thinks all women belong in the kitchen. Psh, yeah right.

I should go, but I will find time to write again, there isn't much to do on the ranch.
