You won't find this in my actual diary. I swear! |
Dear Diary At 3:04, she was in the garden helping her mom, picking daffodils. I drove by, observing. I smiled, she didn't. At 3:15, I drove by again. She was in her driveway, trying her best to keep a hula hoop spinning around her slender waist. It hit the ground, I laughed, then smiled again. She picked up her toy to try once more, not bothering to glance at me. I sped up. At 6:17, she was in the park, riding on one of the swings, kicking her legs as she went back and forth. I sat down on a hard oak bench, watching her movements. At 6:30, she got off the swing and headed home. I stood up, and glanced around to see if she was alone, she was. I started to follow her. On old Miller's Road, I could hear her feet shuffling against the graveled ground as I followed her. I stayed in the grass to quiet my foot steps. After a moment, I started to walk faster, moving closer to her, so I could hear her soft small breathes as she inhaled and exhaled. I was now on the gravel too. She stopped, hearing my foot steps. She started to turn her head, and that's when I grabbed her. She cried out in muffled surprise, my hand clamped over her mouth. She tried to speak, to ask me something, I told her to shut up. Her body tensed. I took a knife out of my pocket, and lifted the blade to her throat. She cried out into my hand, as I held the steel lightly against her flesh. She started to struggle, trying to get away. I slowly pressed the knife against her throat, slicing deeply. One of her small hands clawed at me, then grew weak. Her life covered my hands, it felt wet and warm. I held her in my arms for a moment, then gently set her down on her stomach. I knelt down next to her, turning her over onto her back. Little pieces of gravel were stuck to her face. I picked them off one by one as she gurgled and choked. She was starting to get quiet. I smiled looking into her eyes, and for once she looked back at me. Suddenly she was quiet, staring up at me glossy eyed. I leaned down, brushing my lips against her's, giving her a kiss. I pressed my fingers against the corners of her mouth, curling her lips up, and she finally showed me her smile, at 6:49. |
