Dear Diary,
Sorry I haven't updated in awhile. Lots of things have been going on. I guess I'll start with the minor details first: I graduate from my private school soon. I'm going to Degrassi High. I can't wait for that, even though it's not as good of a school as mine.
Lots of things have been going on with Darcy. She's getting worse and worse by day. We used to be the 'Church Sisters' as everyone called us, now it's just Saint Clare.
Darcy started going out with that Peter. I knew that was going to happen. He only means trouble and lately Darcy's been a trouble magnet. She pretended to be sick so she could skip the retreat and go to some ski trip. I'm not supposed to know about this though, so I'll never tell Darcy. If she knew I knew, she'd assume I'd tell Mom and that's not what I do. I'm no tattletale...
But when she got back from the ski trip she seemed... Unlike herself. As if something bad really happened to her that day. I couldn't exactly ask her about it, so I kept my mouth shut. I really shouldn't have done that. Maybe I could have prevented what happened the next day.
Darcy tried suicide.
It's all so fuzzy and surriel to me that my sister would do this. Slit her wrist. Mom found out everything. Dad found out everything. Me? I didn't ask any questions. I just hoped we'd someday be a perfect family again.
And maybe someday we will. I don't really feel like writing anymore...
~Clare.
