Dear Diary, After my older sister left, I kicked Brian out. I desperately wanted to be alone. My thoughts were in shambles. To be honest, I wasn't even thinking anymore—I couldn't think. I was in shock. I sat on my bed with great difficulty, like every bone in my body had given up. How long did I stay there? Thirty minutes? An hour? Two? I couldn't tell you for sure. It was only when a tear started to roll down my cheek that I began to come back to my senses. Then I broke down again, sobbing uncontrollably, while outside, black clouds began to gather, and the wind grew stronger, more violent—more destructive. How could my own sister betray me like this? Couldn't she, just for once, show a little compassion? How could she hire a lawyer to take custody of our brothers away from me, knowing damn well I can’t even afford someone to defend us? Her words echoed inside me with such intensity, they seemed to blend with the thunder roaring outside. I put my head in my hands, refusing

Dear Journal, You won’t believe what I’m about to tell you. Honestly, I can barely believe it myself. But let me catch my breath and start from the beginning. A week ago, I had dinner with Brian — you already know about that. I told you everything. And honestly, when I think back on it now, my feelings are... complicated. After he left that night, my heart felt heavy. Like someone had tied a brick to my chest. I put the boys to bed, took a long bath, and laid down for a nap. In my dream, I was walking through a red desert. Thick red smoke hung in the air, and the sand beneath my feet felt warm and strangely familiar. Three enormous moons lit up the sky, and even though the place was strange, I felt at peace there — like I belonged. I was wearing a white dress and could'nt bring myself to not look at the sky, it was so beautiful, a place I seemed to know, a place my soul could'nt forget. Where was I? Where was this place? I couldn't tell, I could'nt seem to remember and this place d

“How’s your family?” he asked, his smile warm and wide. “I was hoping to see your mom again... maybe taste one of her famous patties. No one made them like she did.” I looked down, my throat tightening. “Sadly... my parents passed away two years ago,” I said, the words catching in my voice. “There was a break-in at the house we used to live in. Only my parents were home... and they were shot.” I paused, swallowing hard. “When I came home that evening, I found them lying on the kitchen floor. I got there too late.” I wiped a few tears from my cheeks, trying to keep my voice steady. Brian didn’t say anything at first. Then he stepped forward and wrapped his arms around me. “Jane... it wasn’t your fault,” he said gently. And in that moment, I wanted to fall apart in his arms — those same arms I had missed for so many years. But instead, I held it together. I smiled — not for him, but for myself — and continued. “Amelia, my older sister, left a year ago. She’s studying abroad

Dear Diary, You’ll never guess who just moved into the house across the street. I’ll keep it short: Brian Glesias. Yes, that Brian Glesias — the most attractive man I’ve ever laid eyes on. He has dark brown hair, piercing blue eyes that remind me of the beaches in Haiti, and a perfectly scruffy three-day beard. Don’t even get me started on those sculpted arms. Just looking at him makes me feel weak inside, like my whole body melts and my heart starts doing gymnastics. Yes, dear diary, I have to confess — I find him breathtakingly beautiful. But I haven’t even told you how long I’ve known him... or why seeing him again makes my heart flutter like this. You see, his mother and mine used to be best friends. They had known each other since elementary school and grew up inseparable. Eventually, they both got married — to two very different types of men. My dad — rest his soul — was a kind, sensitive, hardworking man... but poor. Brian’s father, on the other hand, was wealthy,
