I blinked as my eyes moved past the words, past the last line, and into the whiteness of the page.

Shane was in love?

Shane and this girl, Haley, were HAL?

And he never told me any of this?

I wasn’t going to lie—that kind of hurt. I thought Shane told me everything, and almost a year later, I was learning that he told me nothing.

And why would having sex with her scare Shane? That didn’t make any sense to me at all.

I turned back the pages to the beginning of the journal entry. There was no date. I turned the pages again, returning to where I left off, and continued on to the next entry.

Dear friend,

It seems like I’ve told you a lot, but I really haven’t told you anything.

I am a liar. The truth is that I don’t know how to tell the truth, to you or to anyone.

I’ve been freaking out a lot lately, and I’ve been taking it out on Hal. Which isn’t fair. It’s not her fault I’m in love with her. At first I was asking myself how I could love someone so much and hate them at the same time. But now I realize that she’s not the person I hate.

I hate myself.

I started saying some stuff that really scared her. We thought maybe getting high would make things better, so we started buying marijuana. But being high doesn’t stop you from hating yourself. It only makes you forget for a little while. Maybe I needed something stronger? I did a favor for this local dealer, and in exchange, he hooked me up with some cocaine.

That was right about the time I heard about this cokehead, Birdy, who will do anything for her next hit. She works at Guns n’ More.

I told her that maybe I’d be able to get her some for the right price.
