Laura's Diary

Monday:

Today my mom found out that I did not go to school. She looks unhappy and upset about that. I know she put all her hope on me and wanted me to have a good job, but, but I just cant. School just like a hell for me, I felt so embarrassing at the first day of the school so how could I go back? Also, I think go to visit animal is a good idea, I could work with animals in the future, since they would not see me as cripple and I would not feel embarrassing when I faced to them.

Tuesday:

My mom keep asking me to find a gentlemen caller these days. But how? Its hard for me to talk with strangers at outside, how can I find a gentlemen caller and ask him to visit our house? Mom and Tom quarreled again these days. It is one of the most terrible one. Tom even broke my animals! I hope they can stop the fight and become a normal family. I do not know what shall I do to maintain my house.

Wednesday:

Today I begged Tom to apologize to mom. I think it works. When I came back home, they seems to stop the fight. I am so glad that they finally stop, but Tom find a gentlemen caller for me and he would visit our house tomorrow. His name is Jim. Oh, Jim, why his name always around me? Last time I talked about a boy called Jim with mom, and this time a man called Jim would visit our house. Will he be the same Jim? If so, I cant have dinner with him! Its so embarrassing.

Thursday:

Today he came. Yes, it was him. I am kind of surprised but I also felt nervous. I did not have supper with them. But he came to me after the supper. Oh, the electricity also went off. He looks so handsome when he came with a candle. He finally recognized me. And he encouraged me a lot. I don't know how to thank him. He even danced with me tonight. Although he told me he had a girlfriend, but it did not matter. Oh, during the dance, we accidentally broke the horn of the unicorn. Probably it implied to me that I need to change; I need to change to a normal person.

Friday:

Mom got pissed after she knew Jim had a girlfriend. She and Tom quarreled again! Mom was mad because she paid all the money for the supper. I wished our family had money. If we had money, I think mom wont be mad. I think Tom could be a poet. But we are poor. Tom left the house. I hope he got the key so that I he could get in during midnight. I cant always wait for him!

Saturday:

Tom did not come back. Where is he? Probably he was drunk in the bar. I should go to find him tomorrow. I hope he and mom wont quarrel again.

Sunday:

Tom left us? Oh god, what should we do. He was not like that kind of person. If so, I need to work. I cant let mom take care of me just like before. Probably when I go to work and earn enough money, Tom would come back. I want him knows that he was not the only one who undertakes this house.
