Chapter 2

Hello readers, and welcome back. I hope you all enjoy the story as much as I do. I have attached chapter 2 for you.

Chapter 2 - The discussion

Angelica had left work after dealing with countless customers at the Grab and the Stars food place. She unlocked the front door and was relieved to find peace in the house without her mother's usual arguments. Heading upstairs to her bedroom, she placed her bag on the side of the bed, removed her shoes, and sat down. As she sat on the edge of the bed, Angelica covered her face as tears streamed down. She asked herself if things could have gone differently to avoid feeling drained. Out.

Angelica's frustration was palpable as her voice oscillated from anger to sadness. She expressed gratitude that a particular person was not around, recounting how this person would push her buttons during emotional times, complain about her lack of time for household tasks, and criticize her interactions with her cousins. These interactions led to frequent arguments, which left Angelica feeling exhausted and questioning the need for such negativity in her life.

After venting her frustrations and shedding tears, Angelica eventually fell asleep. Later, she continued expressing dissatisfaction with the ongoing drama between her two cousins. At work, her phone set off a ding with notifications, she revealed from Susie. The message read, "Arriving in 5 minutes, just grabbing a few things from the store. Should I get you something while I'm here?" Angelica questioned, waiting for a reply.

The sound of phone notifications woke Angelica up from her sleep; she grabbed the phone from the nightstand to open up the message of the conversation with Susie.

Text messages between Angelica and Susie.

Angelica: Yeah, I'll have a Reptar bear and a Kickstarter. Sorry if I am answering your messages late. My boss sends me home early from work. If you're asking about food, I haven't eaten since breakfast, so I ordered food from Northwestern downtown near the toy store. The food should be here by the time you come over. "

Susie: Reptar bare, huh can't remember the last time you've planned without me. I'm getting more impressed by how much you want to be able to work things that bother you, Susie replied. Your boss sends you home early from work. Why? I thought they needed extra people, but I don't think I forgot about our conversation earlier this morning before we went to class. It bothers me that you are hiding information from me, and when I ask about it, you ignore me. Angelica, you're not hiding information from me, are you?

Angelica freezes from reading Susie's text about hiding information to cover her. She started to panic after the phone dropped from her hands. Angelica didn't know what to do with Susie's response as Tears rolled down her face again. She desperately needed to devise an untruth statement to convince Susie that she was not hiding anything from her, so she decided to rethink the plane. Susie grabbed the Reptar bear and kickstarted. She grabbed a bag of cups and an iced tea bottle and headed to the checkout counter to pay for the items.

While waiting in line, Susie checked her phone and wondered if Angelica had texted back since it had only been five minutes. "She probably doesn't. I am fully aware she's hiding information from me, yet again said Susie in a sad tone. Moving to the checkout counter to pay for the drinks and snacks, Angelica, sitting on the edge of her bed, wondered how to make the lie believable.

" come on, Angelica, pull yourself together. You're brilliant enough to know Susie won't figure out the truth; it's only a matter of time before things hit the fin, but I can't stop myself from tearing up. I'll lie about hiding any information from her plan, said Angelica, wrapping her face before picking up her phone from the ground. She unlocked her phone and quickly replied *

Angelica: I promise I am not hiding any information from you. I plan to make sure you and I spend more time together without my mother bothering us; she's too busy to worry about what I do around the house, hiding information from you. Of course not, I promise.

That would be around eight dollars and fourteen cents, said the cash year packing Susie's items into a plastic bag. Susie given the cash year nine dollars for the items while receiving her change and receipt. Sheading out the door, her phone vibrated in her pocket from a text message she received from Angelica; it became very questionable why Angelica's boss sent her home early at 4:00 in the evening. She took her phone out of her pocket and read the message to reply, "All right, I believe you, Angelica, but please understand that you always have me to defend you from the good and the bad. I'm heading over to the house. See you soon.

Angelica: see you when you get here. The door is already unlocked. Thanks, Susie.

Susie: you're welcome

4:00 Susie arrived at Angelica's house with her sister Alyssa and drove off to Susie's house. Susie thanked her older sister for driving her, and she was thankful for having her around before getting out of the car and grabbing her duff bag from the backseat; she closed both doors before saying goodbye to her sister after taking off.

Alyssa drove off, heading home, while Susie made her way to the front door, ringing the doorbell to let Angelica know she was outside. She remembered Angelica mentioning that the front door was unlocked. Susie walked towards the living room with her duffel bag. As she approached, Robo greeted her, expressing his gladness that Susie had arrived. Susie questioned him about why it was so quiet and why Angelica had come home so early. She made eye contact with him and said, "Hello, Robo, it's been a while since I last saw you when I was still in middle school. It seems like you haven't changed much either," Susie said with a smile. "How's everything?"

"Greetings, Mrs. Carmichael. Indeed, it's been quite some time. Honestly, might I say you've grown up so much?" Robo said. Well, I'm a butler. Change is much needed when given a few upgrades, of course. But what brings you here? Mrs. Angelica isn't home now; she's at work right about now."

Susie looked puzzled when Robo mentioned Angelica being at work when she had already been home for the past few hours. "Yeah, Angelica would be at work right about now, but I hate to break it to you, but Angelica has been home since 3:50 p.m. She told me the boss had sent her home early but hadn't explained why. I wanted to question it, but I'll wait for our conversation. Did she tell you the moment she entered the house, Robo?"

Robo raised an eyebrow. "With all due respect, Mrs. Carmichael, I wasn't aware that Mrs. Angelica was home while I finished cleaning the house as ordered by her mother. Leaving work early is rare, but leaving this early in the evening is unheard of unless it's an emergency. Other than that, I'm clueless about the real reason why. I'm sorry."

Inside the bathroom once, Angelica had finished cleaning herself from a hot shower. She heard her beloved crush walk through the front door, and conversion could be heard downstairs between Susie and Robo. Angelica exited the bathroom and headed downstairs. She saw Susie wearing navy blue pants with black leggings under the pants, which matched the yellow and blue band shirt from her birthday that she had ordered online. Angelica's security blooms into imagining Susie looking so incredibly sexy in her birthday outfit; Angelica snaps out of her imagination as she huge Susie from behind with a smile on her face. " glad Robo was able to keep you company while in the shower, besides you smell terrific.

Susie felt Angelica's arms around her waist, making eye contact and saying," Sorry for the holdup. Alyssa needs to run some errands that her mother requires in the house before dropping me off at the house. I've picked up a few things, including this coconut lotion. Impressive indeed, anyway; why did your boss send you home so early? What'd he say to you?

" Obversely, I wanted to spend more time with this special person who means the world to me Angelica said in a sweet voice, teasing Susie. The boss man said I've been overdoing it over the past few years, so I get sent home early for my hardened work, customers were overwhelming to the point where changes needed to be made, and not one hundred percent sure if he was going to fix the scheduling or not but hopefully we find out soon enough. So technically, the majority of employees who constantly kept calls out are being punished by the boss man due to missing so much work time.

Susie raised her eyebrow at Angelica's statement that most employees constantly called out. "It serves them right; they should have been released when this happened. Why did they take this long to realize that Workers started missing work?

"I agree with you on that statement. It shouldn't have taken this long, especially when maintaining a fast-food restaurant. But as I mentioned earlier, this issue is being dealt with as we speak," said Angelica with a smile. Secretly, she was lying about the situation, which had been ongoing for longer than that.

Susie leaned against Angelica's when she noticed trembling in her arms, almost like fairness and sorrow. This method kept Angelica stable when Susie cared for her in the hostel during visiting hours. "It's all right, Charlotte. Don't stress yourself. Just relax and breathe. We made a deal last year to get you better and fix your sleeping schedule, among other things. I truly meant what I said. We are going through this together! Just talk!

Angelica felt better when she felt Susie's head against hers; she started to breathe more naturally. Angelica told Susie she was the first person to mention her middle name. "You are the first person in years I can trust. Not many people know my middle name, she said with a serious and genuine smile. I have had many bullies, which made me who I am, but thanks to Susie, I feel more relaxed, not into my shell kind of feeling anymore, you know what I mean.

By the way, besides you and Robo, where's your mother? She's not around? Or she's busy with another business trip meeting. Susie said I appreciate the offer to help with your Monday homework assignments. I will do that later after you answer the question above.
: " I will gladly help you with information about Mrs. Angelica's mother, Mrs. Charlotte. She left for a business trip earlier today and did not specify when she would return. If you would like, I can check the answering machine for messages. Reply, Robo. Anyway, if there's anything else I can do, don't hesitate to call me.

Angelica was glad when Robo informed her that her mother wouldn't be returning home anytime soon, so they had the house to themselves for the weekend. " if I knew she'd be gone for the weekend due to her business, I would've been asked you to come over whenever if given the opportunity to and said Angelica, breaking the huge. Susie chuckled as she gave Angelica her duffel bag to hold while taking off her jacket. Can I be helpful the Robot said with a monotone sound. What is my purpose? He is quite chatty, isn't he? Susie said with a smirk. "He is!" Angelica said with a smile. Voice though. It needs a little more oil. However, his voice regulator is a bit broken; he has been a big help. Can I take your jacket?" he said with a very monotone sound. Sure she said and gave her jacket to Robo to hang up. Once Robo took the coat, Angelica told him that food was coming and asked him to wait for the doorbell. Susie told Angelica that she was going to head upstairs. Angelica released Susie from her grip and smiled at her, but before she started heading upstairs to put her belongs in her bedroom, Susie said before walking away from the kitchen, 'Finally kept your agreement after all, Charlotte, and here, though otherwise, it warms my heart I'm very proud of you, walking away to head upstairs to place her duffel bag in front of her bed",

Angelica released Susie from her arms and watched her head upstairs to her bedroom. "Since Robo's busy in the kitchen preparing dinner for the both of us, go ahead, upstarts, with your belongings. There are a few things I must take care of before our conversation," Angelica said.

Susie headed upstairs into Angelica's bedroom, opened the door, and placed her duffel bag on her bed; she, however, noticed a few things that caught her eye. A memory, a fond memory. It was standing on her nightstand. Our first Rock and Roll concert together. "I didn't expect Charlotte to keep it, but she looks so adorable on this, her smile rigid. Sweet...I don't think so she said out loud and smiled. She continued looking at the picture until she noticed Angelica's diary lying next to the photo. She wondered if Angelica was hiding anything from her that would explain her weird behavior today at school, so she reached for her diary, opened it up, and started searching for clues and found a date that said September 23rd, 2010. "

My secret crush Susie commented on Tuesday, September 23rd, 2010, at 3:30 pm. Dear diary, When I started to lay eyes on my secret crush, I knew she could be the first to hear about my feelings and thoughts that drive me crazy. I am enchanted by the rest of her body, especially her gorgeous lips. I can't help but fantasize about her twice a day, especially when she wears a beautiful yellow and purple striped shirt with matching black sneakers. It bothered me that I couldn't express the emotion I had been hiding from her, and maybe one day, she'd finally get to know my true feelings.

Susie Glare " Charlotte has a strong fantastic; I must admit that it does seem impressive how she would like to behold. Anyway, there should be somewhat more information about this problem. OMG OMG OMG, I love her; she is so amazing. I mean, we hang out together every day. Laugh so much together. Last holiday we went to summer camp together. I also got so close to asking her out…but I didn't dare. It was such a romantic setting, even if it was by accident. We were at the campfire all alone, and I looked into her eyes; we went closer and closer, but she flicked away and babbled at me. I want to ask her out, but what if that ruined what we already have? What if she says no? It won't be the same anymore, and I won't see her. I don't have a diary, but I want to make this work. Should I make this leap of faith or not? Please wait a minute. There's no way she could mean comments, Susie. She flips a few pages, stopping on Monday, November 15th, 2010.

November 15th, 2010 Monday Dear diary: it's nearly impossible to find privacy around the house without hearing the countless amounts of screaming and hollering, to the point where I get blamed for unnecessary issues and problems that she ends up causing for herself. For example, over the last few weeks today, Mother has been getting strange Emails and phone calls for unknown reasons. I don't know how long this situation will last, especially when family members are involved. It's only a matter of time before the secrets get discovered, including my warm, dying love for Susie, the multiple arguments, the blackmail, and the Thanksgiving argument. Susie's heart completely dropped after learning this information that nobody else knew about, including her mother; she couldn't believe that Angelica, her only best friend, not only lied but kept this information from her while taking care of her in the hospital. "I can't believe I've never seen the signs during the camping trip. Said Susie, facepalming. And to make it even worse, Angelica has a massive crush on me. I am so stupid. It was so obvious, but I only noticed now. But that fact that nobody bothered to question her actions, the multiple arguments with her mother, even on Thanksgiving, is unheard of. There has to be a reason why Angelica keeps this information from me. If I continue reading, I might find my answer. Said Susie, flipping to the next page of the diary.

Today isn't my typical Friday evening. I got into another long argument again with my mother for the fifth time this month, this time about going to the upcoming rock and roll concert at Ice Linden. I've asked multiple times about the pre-order tickets while dealing with Brianna, Mary, and Kate's blackmail for two years straight, day in and day out, constantly working double shifts left and right. I need this! Mother and I had argued for at least 1 hour over these concert tickets which Susie and I wanted to buy, but mom...omg! She had her usual disagreement again with me; we argued with each other for 30-plus minutes, and she had the nerve to ground me. I had enough!"Based on the information I gathered from this dairy and what someone had told me, my suspicions were correct. Judging from the aftermath, it didn't resolve itself either, meaning she either tried to fix herself or they rejected the deal Susie said to herself. Susie continued reading more of Angelica's diary while she and Robo continued pairing dinner in the kitchen as they placed everything on the table.

Okay, said Angelica, it seems like we've done a pretty good job setting up the dinner table for our conversion, we promise, during lunch. Susie has been upstairs for a while now since I told her. She is taking her sweet time packing her bag; I hope she feels at home here. I should call her down to eat properly. Angelica walked out of the kitchen, took a few steps on the staircase, and yelled, "Susie, Dinner is ready!" Susie immediately closes the diary and places it back on the bookshelf as if nobody had touched it. After heading, Angelica calls her name from downstairs. Once the diary was back on the shelf, Susie exited the bedroom and headed downstairs. She enters the kitchen as Angelica and Robo hear her walk in. " glad you made it downstairs. Robo and I finished making Dinner for us both while we had that conversation. I hope everything is good enough. I got your liking while you took your sweet time packing your bag, said Angelica with a smile as Susie looked around the kitchen, seeing the aftermath of their hard work preparing dinner. Woah, it seems like you haven't lost your touch since Robo helped land a hand; yeah, there's nothing wrong with taking your time. It's not like we're going anywhere special, Susie comments. Well, I haven't completely lost touch since my cooking skills are excellent to my liking, my dear; it won't be fair if I took all the credit after Angelica herself watched Savannah get started; I was playing chess while everyone else was playing Checkers Angelica says with her email on her face knowing she was Correct as she filed her arms. Huh, sure, whatever you say, Angelica said to Susie.

Both girls sat at the table as Robo pulled their chairs in, pouring iced tea before exiting the kitchen and leaving to enjoy their chicken salad with blue cheese. Susie and Angelica sat across from each other as they started eating. Susie was taken by surprise by the hardened work she and Robo put into making this look romantic." Gonna say you must have wanna make things look this dinner said Susie with a grin on her face. Flowers in the middle of the table, the food and drink were properly in the right places ", Charlotte you're the sweetest. The flowers are beautiful, lovely to be honest; I thought you were taken the longest, said Susie, who was surprised. Angelica started to blush red from Susie's comment. " Of course, we took our the time to make sure that everything is fine for your liking replied Angelica. I'm proud of both of you for taking the time to make dinner, " said Susie. Anyway, Charlotte, what was the conversation between you and your mother about, and why were you having problems with her? Susie Questioned Angelica. Angelica took a deep breath and lets it out slowly, and commented", the problems I've been having with my mother we're contaminated with constant drama; I can't stand her any way she's been pissing me off and pushing my buttons and yelling at me, this started around March a month away from your birthday Two years earlier. "

•Flashback to two years earlier, March 16th, 2010 •

March 14, 2014, Friday: it was getting close to April, one month before Susie's 14th birthday. Angelica's secretary planned to take Susie to her first concert in November after getting a promotion from her mother, Charlotte, so that she could order the concert tickets for Ice London. Angelica Was inside the living room with her computer, sitting on the couch to receive an email from approval for ice London tickets In November, four weeks away from Thanksgiving and enough time to prepare everything. Angelica opened the Ice London Email saying her tickets would arrive in the mail by Friday, April 3rd. "Yes, she said with excitement in her voice. Susie and I will have the time of our lives at Ice London, " she commented. It's a good thing I preordered them a month ago before waiting online for countless hours just for two tickets. I can't wait to see how she reacts to the surprise that I got us both concert tickets she's been talking about for a year now, but I genuinely hope Susie will be proud of me after taking risks of working overtime and a double shift at work. I can't believe how much time has gone by these past moments. "

Angelica was so embarrassed that her face turned red. However, she couldn't be happier about the moment she was about to spend with Susie at the concert she had planned for a year. She closed her computer and realized her mother was out shopping for groceries, telling her she would be home in just a few minutes.

As Angelica continued to enjoy her moment, she daydreamed about Susie's appearance and how beautiful she would look on her birthday. A few minutes later, her mother arrived home with bags of groceries. Angelica quickly got up from the couch, moved her computer aside, and helped her mother put the groceries away in the cabinets, freezer, and refrigerator.

In the kitchen, Angelica's mother asked Questions about the gift she had gotten for Susie and wondered if she had gotten it. She ends up saying," It's almost a month away from Susie's birthday, comments Charlotte, I do hope you thought about getting her something that she would like after taking those extra hours at work said her mother while putting the rest of the food away. I've thought about what I would get for her birthday since April is around the corner, said Angelica. So, after working extra shifts at work, I ordered tickets to Ice London in November, and I thought it would be a fantastic gift since this would be her first concert. I received an email today and got approved, so everything else should work out smoothly, says Angelica.

Her mother finished putting the food away to face Angelica, saying," Let me see if I understand this correctly. You're telling me that you ordered concert tickets for an ice London concert this November, three weeks before Thanksgiving, after doing extra work around the house, including your job? Her mother questioned Angelica. Yes, Angelica responded to her mother. The Ice London concert is this November, while tickets are on sale in February. I would've done this sooner or later, but everyone knows tickets sell out faster than you could even blink. This was the only opportunity I had besides buying them in person while standing in a long line. If you're going to ask, the answer is yes, I've saved enough money for this expensive concert as I worked my butt off to earn that money, Angelica said as she paused for a moment.

Before Angelica could continue her side of the story, Susie interrupts Angelica mid-sentence by saying, "Hold on, let me get this straight; you mean to tell me that the concert we both went to in November, weeks before Thanksgiving that You planned for my birthday that you manage to afford the money due to the extra work around the house and your job included Said Susie with a shocking look on her face. How did you get enough time to earn that much money to pay for the tickets within a year and 8 months? Susie added as she waited for Angelica's reply.

Angelica gained with a fake smile by saying, " Simple with enough blood, sweat, and tire, I was able to find a way to earn extra money to pay for the tickets for us, and how was able to get the money is called working extra hours and pulling some strings, I took the opportunity to search for a few jobs around town, and I took the chance to pick something that could have been a better deal said, Angelica who answered Susie's Question about the concert money. "

Susie looked at Angelica with a shocked look once she revealed the truth about how she could earn that amount of money. She finished collecting her thoroughly by commenting, "Okay, so you managed to find a few working paying jobs in the long run watch, I respect the hustle, then you couldn't find the time to hang out with anyone else and decide to Focus on the main prize and school work while you were planning this two years straight I can't believe that you pulled it off all by yourself Said Susie. Complex works pay off the cupcake. I would've disappointed you if I hadn't worked for two years straight. Sometimes you going to do what you're going to do in the long run, but you already understand that part that I do know for sure, said Angelica, who started to finish her food while getting up from the kitchen table.

Hehe, cupcake, huh said Susie with a grin. That's new. I never thought you would call me a cupcake before while having a romantic dinner and having a good conversation with each other as we shared this moment, and I am proud of Charlotte; thank you for the wonderful gift we shared. She comments. Angelica smiled and blushed, commenting, "No problem, Susie, you're welcome, and it's my pleasure.

After the adorable moment with Susie and Angelica sharing a romantic dinner, both girls started cleaning up before leaving the kitchen. Robo took care of the rest as Susie and Angelica were there in her bedroom,

End of chapter two Nope caused of chapter two-part one

Chapter Two Part Two The diary

After the dinner conversation between Susie and Angelica, they discussed the conversion and her problems. They started heading upstairs into her bedroom and continued to conversation: "Don't worry about it, Susie, my mother doesn't mind if I have you over. For the weekend, as long as we don't destroy the house said Angelica as they entered the bedroom. Besides, we have the whole weekend to ourselves besides Robo, who doesn't bother people much since he does other stuff around the house when nobody is around. It solves my problems more than anybody could imagine, said Angelica, walking towards her bed while Susie sat on her beanbag near the corner of her bed.

I'll stop thinking about it and trust you more often. It's okay, Charlotte, you win, said Susie, joking around with her as she sat down on her bean bag. Angelica chuckled, knowing that Susie was playing around. She sat down on her bed while chuckling and commented, "Oh yeah, I have to admit that I was the person who defended the most essential thing in the world: loyalty. "Oh yeah, since in the name of love Charlotte comments to Susie. You play too much, and no, not in the name of love or this friendship, said Angelica, who was laughing with Susie. After a few minutes into the conversation, Angelica told Susie she would take a shower and asked her if she needed anything before heading over to the bathroom; Susie shook her head no and said she was all good. "

Angelica gets out of bed, grabs underwear, a T-shirt, and boxer shorts, heads to the bathroom, and starts the shower. Susie watches Angelica leave the bedroom and leaves her alone.

Susie slowly got up from the bean bag, walked to the bedroom door, and peeked her head out to check if the bathroom door was closed. She said while looking out the bedroom door, "The bathroom door is completely locked. Watch gave me enough time to get to the bottom of the problem. The story of the concert seemed uncertain, but I didn't understand when she told me that she spent the next few months working on getting the tickets for us, which only led to the grounding and the agreements watch are very Questionable said, Susie, sticking her head back into the bedroom and walking to the bookshelf to pick back up her diary and open to the part where she was talking about getting grounded.

Susie turned to the pages about Angelica getting grounded by her mother. Ah, here we are said Susie as she started to read. " Today, I wasn't expecting to get into another argument with my mother about the upcoming rock and roll concert one week before Thanksgiving Day. I've asked her about pre-ordering the tickets for both Susie and me. Still, sadly enough, she had to strongly disagree with me about buying tickets for the concert after spending countless hours working around the house and extra hours at my job. We argued with each other for 30-plus minutes. As we continued arguing, the screaming and yelling had gotten worse than our previous arguments, such as blaming me for nonsense she creates for herself when things don't go her way at work. She had the nerve to ground me in the most extreme way possible, even yelling at me about other things I wished not to speak about. I've never been more than an emotional wreck since the problems never departed me when, and blackmail grew worse as time went on.

Susie continues reading Angelica's diary as she tries to remain calm while keeping her emotions at bay. She gets to the actual conversion with her mother. Flashback to the exact conversation between Angelica and her mother. "Yes, Angelica comments, "The concert was in November, and I would've been doing this sooner or later, but tickets sell out faster than you could blink. Angelica said to her mother. Besides that, I had no choice but to buy them, and yes, I had saved enough money for this concert for Susie's birthday.

Angelica's mother looks at her and comments," That's wonderful, but I don't think it will be a good idea for you girls to attend the concert in November. It's weeks before Thanksgiving, Angelica, and you know this, and I'm not allowing you to be at that concert, so the answer is no, young lady said Charlotte with a serious look.

Angelica's facial expression changed from happy to broken-hearted; words couldn't explain the discomfort; she commented, "But I spent the last few months working my butt off the blood, sweat, and tears, and I get nothing but a no. Do you know how much I postponed hangouts and plans for the weekend? I worked constantly to spend the next few weeks with Susie at her first concert in November, and the only thing that matters is gone, and you can't understand; nobody realizes the discomfort I have to go through ",

Angelica's mother gets furious and pissed off at the statement that Angelica just said; she snaps back and says", I don't understand. Listen here, young lady; I'm the only person who works around this house! And I don't know who you are talking to Angelica, but I understand you are not attending the November concert. I don't care how much you took your time out; the answer is no, and that's the final straw. You ground as well, and you're going cousins as punishment, she comments as she yells at her as they both start arguing.

Susie continues reading Angelica's diary and says", the disagreement over the concert continues as the arguing and fights grown worse each minute, she continued to show her true colors and kept pushing my emotions and my buttons and making it harder to hold back the tears as we spent the past few hours arguing with each other, she told me that I waste my time and the efforts on getting to the point where I am now meant nothing to do her. I wandered off to my bedroom and slammed the door to cry for hours on the bedroom ground to the point where I called Susie and begged her to come over to save me from this terror. When she arrived at the house through the back door, I cried into her arms as Susie held me tight and continued to cry.

Susie couldn't believe the type of pain Angelica had been through after dealing with her mother as the memories started to build up as she continued reading. Susie flips through more pages until she stumbles upon November 16th title blackmail from Brianna, Mary, and Kate as she looks through each page, revealing so much information." This is unbelievable, Angelica. No, I don't understand why you allowed Brianna, Mary, and Kate to blackmail you, Susie said. " Dear diary: November 16th Monday, 2014 ", Brianna, Mary, and Kate have been blackmailing me to utilize as a tool to their disadvantage of finding out that I snuck out of my cousin's house to be at Ice London and to make the moment even worse they discovered my secret about my love for Susie and the daily performance, they took a picture of Susie and me and told me I had to do their dirty work with the whole school semester and if I didn't cooperate with them my secrets would be spread around the school along with the performance.

Susie's eyes widened after reading the truth about Angelica's behavior and questioning her actions over the past few years; Susie covered her mouth to the realization that Angelica's situation was more serious than she thought it would be. She carefully closed Angelica's diary and placed it back on the bookshelf. After placing the diary back, Susie leaned against the wall and slid down to the floor; she felt awful for Angelica and wished she could've found out sooner than later as she wiped the tears from her face and understood her pain and frustration with her mother and with Brianna, Mary, and Kate. I can't believe how much of an idiot I've become for not realizing the pain you went through over the years and the nerve to destroy our wonderful moment they have nerve said Susie as tears rolled down her face, trying to calm her emotion. While Susie tried to keep her emotions in check, she heard Angelica walking out of the bathroom and heading into the bedroom. Susie quickly returned to the bean bag and pretended to be busy while wrapping her tears from her eyes.

Angelica walked into the bedroom and saw Susie in the bean bag chair. She commented, "Hey, I hope I wasn't interrupting the moment." She then walked to her bed to sit down while looking at Susie. Susie smiled at Angelica and commented, "Interrupting what moment, Charlotte? We both know how much you love to steal the spotlight and the pictures. Besides, you didn't interrupt anything, I promise."

She chuckles and says, "But we both know that we steal the spotlight, and in every photo beside, the lighting brings out your eyes cover more, but away we should probably get ready for bed, "

Yeah, I agree with you. We both steal the spotlight together, and yeah, I have to brush my teeth, and I should be good to go said Susie, who opened up her duffle bag and grabbed her toothpaste and toothbrush."

After Susie brushed her teeth, she and Angelica went to bed and were fast asleep. "
