Dear Journal,

I’m really sorry I haven’t written to you for a while… well actually a loooong time. I’m now fourteen. Mom and Dad treat me so well and I go to school with my cousins still but they are more of my siblings than cousins. I’m quite popular, and I have a lot of friends around me now. Although some of them are only around me for money I don’t pay them attention. My aunt and uncle still visit occasionally but sometimes they don’t bring my cousins. My aunt seems to always have something shining from her pocket but I have no idea what it is, and my mom always seems to be looking for something and makes a big mess sometimes. She also seems to wear less and less jewelry now than she did before. I wonder if the two are connected...

Dear Journal,

I have a lot to take in today, I found what was going on and how everything was connected. My aunt was taking my mom’s jewelry, but the reason was different than what I had originally thought. My aunt Jessica took the jewelry because she was jealous that my mom had more than here and that some women always had more money and fame than her, like her sister. I found all this out when I was walking by the bathroom door to get the soccer ball. I think that she was talking to somebody on the phone, it sounded like a man. I need to find out more about Aunty Jessica and her connection to the man on the phone. Also, I need to know more about her sister. She sounded so angry on the phone, that I’m scared of what she could do if she is given more time to plan things out. Aunty could do something dangerous to my mom if I’m not careful. I don’t think that uncle or his kids know this about aunty Jessica, I’ll have to be careful so I’m not caught, I don’t want to get other people in trouble.

Dear Journal,

I found out a few things about Aunty and I also decided that it's best to warn my parents about Aunty. But when I did, they didn't believe me and laughed at me. I tried my best to warn them but now I have to protect them since they don’t believe me, that’s okay though I don’t think that I would believe me with so little evidence. Moving on to the evidence, I found out that: she had a sister called Jane and Jane was very rich, 24 yrs, and had a husband named Charlie, she also had a son that went missing at the age of five and shortly after Jane fell ill and died two months after her son’s disappearance. It says his name was Gabriel, but it also says that Charlie also died a few months after his family disappeared. They had a cabin for the summer and one night it had burned down with the husband in it, he died and the police found his ashes and everything.  I felt really bad for Jessica suddenly losing her only sister like that, until I read that the house that her sister lived in went to her only living relative, Jessica. Suddenly I started to think about how jealous Jessica was that my mom had a lot of money and how jealous she was of her sister. Maybe… no she couldn’t have.
