Raising Rudy

"Now to my next question… what happened to Jessica? How did she die?" Rudy asked calmly but with a serious look on his face.

"Before I answer that, there is still more to my first answer." After a brief pause, Rebecca placed the diary back on the table and said, "It was still hard for me to understand everything even though a month had already passed.

I didn't read the diary nor talk about it to anyone, not even Elena. But when I was curious enough to open and read the first chapter of the diary, I… read it and the contents written inside were so ridiculous that I felt stupid for taking it seriously.

I did the very thing the shadow had told me not to; I ignored it, and I had to pay for it. There were signs, and yet I didn't pay attention to them.

One night, I had just put you to bed, and Jessica was sleeping beside you; I was taking a bath, and you suddenly started crying, so I quickly wrapped a towel around me and rushed to my room.
