Dear Diary,

Today was the most heartbreaking day, it was the day that all the darkness had sunk into my soul. I don’t really like talking about it but I’ll tell you what happened today……

It was an early morning Saturday, and I was just chilling in my room watching youtube when I heard a loud bang and scream in the room next door, it was my parents bedroom, I knew that something bad was going on. Something really bad. The knot in my stomach pulled tighter. And tighter. 

I had to know what was going on but I didn’t want to get injured.

Finally the shouting had ended but that was only the start of it, I saw my mum dash out of their room, mascara running down her face and bruises on her arm. I tried to stop her. What had happened? What was going on? Could it be because of me? Did I do anything wrong?

She pushed me out of the way and I asked her “What was going on?” She ignored me so I did the same and tried to******* up!

The next day I ran away to where I belong, the place I love to be, the sea! But what was that in the water?…………
