Dear Diary - Chapter 14

Instructions

-- Chapter 14 -- Diary, I have some big news. Remember how I said I wanted things to get better quickly (if they were at all)? Well, I think this is the start of it. You might recall that back when I was friends with Daniel, Adrian was getting quieter and quiter than usual as the days, weeks, and months went on. A few days ago, I finally found out why. Daniel is his cousin, and he’s always been known to gain traction and popularity. He does everything so people will be closer with him, and then once he sees someone better, he leaves them behind with no regrets. In my case, he was using our relationship. It’s kind of ridiculous if you ask me. Adrian didn’t want to say anything because he didn’t want me to feel down. I guess that makes sense, since he’s always been trying to help me. Though, I do feel kind of bad for him. After Daniel and I broke up, and I became as sad and tired as I was, Adrian put the blame on him. You know, Adrian’s not really the one to cry, but his eyes were getting quite teary. I spent the next few minutes reassuring him, telling him that everything was okay now that it’s all over. And then Adrian wrapped me into the hug that felt just like the one Daniel had given me at the dance last year. It took me a second to adjust, since I hadn’t been hugged in a while, but it felt no less cozy and just as warm as Daniel’s hug. I loved it. Me and Adrian have been hanging out much more in the past few days that have followed. I missed hanging out with him as much as I used to. It feels more natural than me hanging out with Daniel. I guess that’s because I’ve known Adrian since when were little kids. He’s also been helping me with my homework again, and he’s even encouraging me to try out for the volleyball team this year. You know, I probably could try to make the team this year. We’ll see. In any case, at least everything that happened the past two years is all in the past. Now, I can just focus on Adrian, the remaining year left of school, volleyball, and my family (which is still in pieces, but I’m feeling more calm about the whole situation now). I’ll write to you again soon diary, and that’s not a maybe. I will. I’ll tell you how everything goes with… Well, everything.
