-I am pretty angry right now because of the lack of reviews I got for my last chapter. I only got 3! It's not that I'm hungry for reviews, it's just that I work pretty hard on writing stories, and when no one responds, I get a little upset. So in this case, since no one is reading this story, I will discontinue it if I don't get what I consider a satisfactory amount of reviews. I just want to know that I'm not wasting my time writing these stories just to get no reviews, while other stories get 100's of reviews. So please, when you read a story of mine, give me some feedback on it.-
Claire was almost done reading the journal, only four entries remained, and all were dated from the week leading up to the deaths.
Freddy and I have been talking some, and I think it's possible that we can be friends again. I'm glad about that. I really kind of missed him. Not like in a loving way, but I missed talking to him. So I'm going to keep talking to him.
Today, Summer was out trying to pick dates for an upcoming tour, the on that will promote our new album. If there ever will be a new album. Zack and Dewey are stretched really thin. But anyways, Summer was out and I needed to get some credit card bills that she was keeping for me. So I went into her room and the filing cabinet was open. Inside were all her usual things, like credit card bills, which was what I was looking for. And so I was looking for my bills when I found this bill for an abortion!
And then I remembered how Summer had been gone that one day and how she had been acting weird, and figured it out: Summer had an abortion! I don't know who the father was and I don't think anyone will ever know. But I better not let her know that I know. She would do something really evil, like kick me out of the band.

Claire was surprised that Katie had known about the abortion and eagerly flipped to the next page. It was dated as three days before the deaths.
Zack and Dewey had the hugest fight ever today! They were screaming at each other, and throwing stuff at each other! Zack even took Dewey's newest guitar, and smashed it into an amp. Totally Pete Townshend! If I hadn't known them, and if I'd just seen it happen on TV, the whole guitar smashing thing, I would've thought it was awesome. But it wasn't.
After Zack ruined the guitar Dewey looked too mad and surprised to speak. He went to his room and slammed the door, leaving Zack standing there staring at the remnants of guitar in his hands. I heard him mutter, "I'd hoped it wouldn't come to this." And then he took Summer aside and told her something.
She started screaming and yelling at him, telling him that he was pulling the band apart, and then she stormed out of the house and got in her car and took off.
And while all of this was happening, Alicia was totally high. Like skyrocketing. She seriously could've O. D.'d. She was cracking up while all the fighting was going on. She's such a bitch.
Anyways, Zack went up to his room, so I followed him to try and calm him down. When I got to his room I walked in and he was throwing things into two duffel bags. I asked him what he was doing and he told me that he was leaving. He said he couldn't take being near Dewey anymore.
I felt really bad for him, because he's like the heart and soul of this band and he's pretty much being kicked out. He said that eh told Summer that he was leaving and that's why she flipped. By this time I felt really bad, so I helped him pack up.
I'm really gonna miss him, he's so awesome. He's going to leave within the week.
-Katie
Claire turned the page to an entry marked two days before the deaths. It was short.
I can't write much now, but Summer came back and she was freaking out. She was yelling at everybody, saying all this crazy stuff, how she knew what we were thinking. It kind of scared me. So I built this little drawer thing into my desk to my journal in. It's cool because it reminds me of my favorite Doors song, Break On Through To The Other Side.
-Katie
Claire realized that it could've been Katie who had written the note that had been found on the coffee table. She found the evidence bag containing the note and examined the writing. Holding the paper up to the journal, she could clearly tell that the writing matched up. "Maybe she was trying to tell us to read her journal," Claire muttered to herself. Then she flipped the page to read the last journal entry, dated the day before the deaths.
Zack is leaving tomorrow night. Me and him are going to pretend that we're going out to dinner, and then I'm going to see him off at the airport. He's going to California. And because he's leaving, Dewey will be the only songwriter in the band.
Since Dewey's the only songwriter, and the new album is due out soon, I brought him some songs that I wrote. He totally blew up at me, screaming that he didn't need any help with writing. He was totally drunk.
Everything's getting really tense around here. I'm starting to think that everybody living in the same house was a really bad idea. Summer's been smiling weirdly, it's kind of freaking me out. And Alicia being eternally high isn't helping either. Everything is so stressful for me right now.
I was listening to Quadrophenia today. It's probably one of the greatest albums ever. The best part is the last song, Love Reign O'er Me. What a moving song! It just blows my mind every time I hear it. It's like my daily thing, to listen to it. Yeah, that's kind of random, don't know why I wrote it down.
-Katie
Claire closed the journal. She got up from the couch that she'd been sitting on and started working on her theory of death. She sorted through the pictures, finding certain ones that she kept. Those photos were taken to a photo lab and blown up, and then Claire went to a drug store and bought some paper cups. Driving back to the mansion, she listened to School of Rock's first CD while she went over her theory again and again in her mind.
-I know this chapter wasn't as good as some of the others, but I'd appreciate reviews anyways.-
