Dear Diary,

Well diary, I don't think it's gonna work out between me and James. All we do is talk on the phone. He's been so busy lately. We hardly get to see each other. My father was part of the reason at first. He lightened up after a while. Momma really likes James too. But now it doesn't really matter. I mean I moving next month. I'll be going to Texas for school. Me and Gina both actually. We decided to go and live with her aunt for a while until we can get our own place. She has a huge house so there's really not a problem of space. Mom and dad said it was okay that I move in with them. But still, I'll be leaving James. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention. James is in a singing group with his friends Larry, Tamir, and Mark. They call themselves Dru Hill, they're named after Druid Hill park. It's kinda paying homage to where they grew up. What's so funny about it is they go by different names. Like James, his name is Woody, Mark is Sisqo, Tamir is Nokio, and Larry is Jazz. I think those names are sooo cute. You know I'm buying their album. James told me it drops in November so I can't wait till then to pick it up. It'll at least be something of his that I'll have. Anyway, I guess it wasn't meant to be. If it was, I wouldn't be moving to Texas and he'd be around a lot more. Oh well, I guess I need to prepare for my new life there. Well I guess I better end this. I can hear momma and daddy are arguing again. Why she puts up with him, I don't know. Tell tomorrow.

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

"I'm sick of your s*** Sheila! You accuse me of everything under the book!" shouted David. He had come in late yet again. His excuse for the third day in a row was that he was working late. He was telling the truth, partly. He was working his secretary.

"I accuse you cause you know it's true! Who the hell is she David!" shouted Sheila following him into his room.

"d*mmit woman get the hell out of my face!"

"No, not until you tell me who she is! I put up with too much of your crap for you to be doing this to me! Who is she?!"

"Sheila I'm not gon tell you but one mo time!"

By this time Lene and creeped out of her room and was now standing outside her parents' room. She hated to hear them argue. Especially because her mother usually never won the fights. Her mother had taken so much from him. Lene always felt like her mother should have left him plenty of times. She even confronted her mother about this. Her only response would be, that she loved him and she couldn't abandon him.

"David you tell me who she is now!" shouted Sheila still standing in her husbands face.

"Sheila move!" shouted David as he pushed her away.

"How dare you put your hands on my mother!" shouted Lene as she ran into her parents room.

"Charlene go to bed!" shouted David.

"No! Momma are you okay." said Lene as she helped her up.

"I'm fine, now go back to your room." said Sheila.

"No momma, he pushed you. I'm not gonna let him do that to you. The next thing you know he could hit you."

"He's not gonna do that, now go to bed."

"Listen to your mother girl. Go to bed!" said David as he grabbed Lenes' arm.

"Take your hands off of me!"

"Who do you think you're talking to?!"

"I'm talking to you!"

"Girl I am your father, you will not raise your voice at me!"

"I will do whatever I want if you put your hands on me again!"

"Charlene he's your father, show him some respect." said Sheila afraid that one of them would take it too far.

"Show him some respect?! How much respect does he show me! Or you for that matter!"

"Charlene, go to your room." said Sheila.

"See I knew she would end up just like that girl!" shouted David. He was speaking of his eldest daughter Alexandrea.

"David don't go there!"

"No look at her, being disrespectful! She turned out to be just like that girl!"

"If I turned out like Alex it's because of you! You're pushing me away just like you pushed her away!"

"Charlene stop."

"No momma you know it's true! He was the one who pushed her out the door!"

Seven years ago Lenes' older sister Alex ran away from home. She was eighteen years old. Growing up Alex and David were really close. That is until she became a teenager. Alex developed at an early age which brought a lot of attention from boys.

Alex liked the attention and began to flirt with as many boys as she could. At sixteen, Alex lost her virginity to a boy she grew up with. Her father walked in on the two as it happened.

After that day David became very strict. He didn't allow her to see the boy anymore. As a matter of fact her stopped her from seeing just about any boy that would look her way. He made her change the way she dressed, he made her stop wearing make-up, and he tightened her curfew.

This caused Alex to begin sneaking out of the house. It caused her to lie about her whereabouts and who she was going out to see. One night, Alex snuck out of the house to meet a few friends. She didn't get back until two in the morning.

When she got inside, her father was in her room waiting for her. The two began to argue horribly. Sheila tried to calm the two down but neither would back down. Finally David made the mistake of calling her an ungrateful sl**. This caused Alex to run out of the house.

A couple of days later, she returned while her father was a work and grabbed all the clothes she could get her hands on. She said good-bye to her mother and sister and left. She hasn't been heard from or seen since.

"How dare you say that to me?!" shouted David stomping towards Lene.

"It's true! You pushed her away! Her leaving was your fault! If you were any type of a father you would have tried to stop her! But instead you threw her out the door!" shouted Lene, just as she finished her sentence, David slapped her. This caused her to fall to the floor.

"David!" shrieked Sheila, "Charlene are you okay?"

Lene just sat on the floor holding her hand to her face. Without saying another word she got up and ran downstairs. She then proceeded out of the house.

"Charlene you get back here!" shouted David from his front porch.

"Charlene baby come back!" shouted Sheila tears falling from her eyes.

Charlene continued to run down the street ignoring her parents cries. There was no way she was going back home tonight.
