A/N: I'm thinking of writing a new story called Four Guys and a Girl it's about these four friends (Tyson, Max, Ray, and Kai) after one of their best friends (Kenny) is brutally murdered. While they're mourning the loss of their friend they put out a flyer for a new roomate so that they can pay rent for the apartment they're staying in. They're completely surprised when a bubbly girl (Hilary) answers their ad. The girl teaches them how to laugh and live again and they learn that her whole family, except for her older sister and niece, was murdered by the same person that killed their friend. So, the five of them set out to find the girl's sister and the murderer and meet a lot of strange people and make a lot of new friends along the way.

Chapter Five

Tyson crossed his arms as he looked out the window. It had been two weeks since Hilary had spoken about this Opal person. She was still speaking, she just hardly ever did it. He really missed the old Hilary. The one that use to yell at him for no complete reason and threaten to destroy his most prized possessions - his comic books. Sometimes he could see traces of the old Hilary in her eyes. Especially when she got angry.

A cool defiance would set in her eyes and she'd jut out her chin like she always did when she was ready to punch somebody in the face. But then, just as soon as it appeared, it was gone. She was back to the girl that seemed to be watching her life go by instead of living it. Staring at people with hollow eyes and talking only when she felt it was appropriate.

Tyson let out an exaggerated sigh. He wasn't sure he could take much more of this.

Dr. Paisley watched as Hilary fingered the necklace around her neck until her fingers were clasping the small purple orb. "Do you have your journal, Hilary?"

The brunette looked at him in surprise. "Hmm?"

The doctor smiled softly at her. "Do you have your journal with you?"

The fifteen-year-old hesitated before reaching into her book bag and taking out the blue book. "Here."

He took it and sat it down on his desk. "So, Hilary, why didn't your parents come with you today?"

"I told them not to," she replied curtly.

He raised an eyebrow. "Is that so?"

She nodded.

"Why'd you tell them not to come."

She shrugged. "They have jobs and two other children. They don't need to be fussing over me."

Dr. Paisley frowned slightly at her cool attitude towards him and sighed. "Why don't you grab a book from the shelf while I look through your journal, okay?"

She rolled her eyes. "Whatever," she said as she stood up, "but I always thought that the whole point of having a diary was so that you could write down your private thoughts that you didn't want anyone else to know."

He ignored her and began leafing through the journal. He glanced over her entries until he came to two that she wrote two weeks prior - he checked her journal every three weeks - that piqued his interest.

Dear Diary,

I went shopping with Mom, Kylie, Tika, Hailey, and Joan today. I got tons of new clothes, shoes, and jewelry. I especially like the last piece of jewelry that Mom bought me. It's a golden necklace with a purple opal hanging from it. It like it best because the gem is called an opal. The name holds a great significance to me because when I was with him I met a woman named Opal.

Opal was a very pretty lady, or she would have been if she didn't have so many bruises and her skin wasn't so pail. She had short raven-black hair and gorgeous green eyes. She's his wife. When I asked her why she was married to him she just sighed and said that she couldn't divorce him because if she did he'd kill her. During the two months that I was there, we became close friends, sort of anyway.

She told me that the reason he treated her so cruelly was because she was barren. I think that that is a very stupid reason to treat your spouse, or any other person, that way. Opal just smiled and pushed my hair behind my ear and told me to go to sleep before he got back. Because he never messed with me when I was asleep.

Opal is the one that helped me escape. One day when the Man-With-The-Cold-Eyes was off doing something, she called the cops and told them that I had been spotted with a strange man in the park. And just as she moved away from the phone he came back. As soon as he walked through the door she placed a terrified look on her face and told him that she had just turned off the news and the police knew where we were and that they'd be there any second.

The Man-With-The-Cold-Eyes grabbed me and placed a filthy knife against my throat. He told me that he'd be watching me and if I so much as whispered a word about what he did to me, he'd hunt me down and kill me.

The last thing I can remember before seeing my Mom in the police station is one voice telling me to agree with him, another telling me to tell the cops, and a soft one crying out for her mother.

Yours Truly,

Hilary

When he finished reading the first entry the doctor looked up to ask Hilary a question, but changed his mind when he saw that she was engrossed in the newest Harry Potter book. Instead, he just flexed his fingers and began reading the second entry.

Dear Diary,

I let Hilary remember a little bit about Opal when she went shopping today. Lorraine is going to extremely angry with me when she finds out, but I could care less. It will probably hurt Hilary a lot to remember some of the things he did to her, but it's something that she's going to have to do if she ever wants her life to go back to normal - and that means without me, Lorraine, or any of the others. I don't care what Lori says, because I know that I'm right. I have to go now, the little one is crying again.

Sincerely,

Kate

Dr. Paisley closed the light blue book. So, Hilary had more than one alternate personality. This new one, Kate, seemed to be the exact opposite of Lori. He looked at the brunette sitting the chair across from his desk. He wondered when he'd be able to meet Kate, the sooner he did, the more answers he'd probably get.
