silenced: james's diary

October 7th

Mom's birthday today. If that dumbshit driver hadn't been high off his ass, I would be celebrating with her right now, instead of spilling my thoughts to a piece of paper.

Not that I'm complaining or anything.

Mark and Alyson need to shove it up theirs and mind their own business. If something's wrong, it's not their place to try and fix it for me. They have their own kid to take care of; I just live with them. If they think they're ever going to be my parents, they have another thing coming... and no matter what happens, I will never let Chris call them "Mom" or "Dad".

Well, there you go. Happy birthday, Mom. And to whatever therapist reads this next, no, I'm not repressing feelings about her.

I need to get out of here. Still haven't found anyone to talk to. Everyone at school either thinks I'm some kind of "outlaw", or they think I'm not worth their time. There's nothing here for me, at school or at "home".

All I do is fight with everyone. I don't even try. People don't think about what they're saying. They just say it and expect people to accept it, and then find themselves in a fight when they actually offend somebody.

I'm getting out of here.
