Chapter 26

Lucas' P.O.V.

Rose had fallen asleep beside me, but not before filling my heart and ego to the brim. Her Knight. I liked that she thought of me in that way. I'd happily fight demons and dragons for her. Right now, the only demon around is her father. I'll hire a man to do some digging for me. Once I know why he's here, I'll pay him a visit myself. I won't let Rose face him again.

I opened her journal back up, picking up where I left off on her first day of freshman year. I enjoyed reading about her innermost thoughts about her life, her friends, and her classes, seeing this whole other side to Rose. It was like I was there with her. She was sharing a big part of herself with me by allowing me to read these journals, and I don't plan on letting her down.

Dear future me, (Because who says dear diary anymore?)

I hope you're doing better than me right now. This new school, although amazing academically, lacks in social etiquette. The girls are all bitchy and the boys are all immature. There is one boy who is calm and collected. Derek Nelson. I heard he's the smartest boy in our grade. I wonder if that's true? I was going to talk to him today, but I never found the nerve.

Honestly, I raced out of school when the bell rang, trying to get into dad's rusted and crappy pickup truck. Every kid here comes from money, and being the only one who doesn't, already has me at a disadvantage. I don't need them to pick on me for dad's car. I'm sure you remember our daily evening fight sessions with dad. Have we beat him yet? I hope so, because today was especially brutal. I think he's stressed about something and it's making fighting him 10 times worse.

He forgot to do the shopping again, so I had to go out this evening and buy whatever I could carry back home. Dad had drunk too much alcohol to drive an hour after bringing me home from school. Funny how we never run out of liquor, but food is always scarce.

I walked back home with the few groceries I could carry, but I managed to cook and even made enough food for him to eat. Currently, he's snoring on the couch, beer bottle still in hand. Has he stopped drinking yet? I sincerely hope so. Anyway, I better get started on all the homework my new teachers assigned. I don't know if you remember, but they told us our public education hadn't amounted to anything, and they are going to get me caught up to my classmates' level. Even though I'm there already, probably past it.

With lots of hope for the future,

Past You

First entry and I'm already feeling upset. Her father was a worthless piece of shit. What I hated most was the fact she didn't find an escape at school, but instead found more misery. It's a cruel world when both school and your home torment you.
