P.S. The improper grammar and bad spelling are there for a reason. David is only a child so it's likely he couldn't write as well as adults.

Author's Note: Hey so I'm really really really sorry about the super late update and I'm not that happy with this chapter either but I can't keep my followers waiting forever. I decided to split the Diary part into two parts this is the first where hes younger and the second might be from when he's a teen or an adult. Lately I've been having writer's block and I wasn't able to do a chapter. This was on my computer for quite a long time but I didn't get the chance to finish it until now. I believe this chapter wasn't the best so I hope you can all give me some constructive criticisms to keep things going good. Okay this author's note is super long, I hope to write a new chapter soon. See ya!
