I catch my breath. I hold my diary in a tight grip. I growl in anger and throw my diary across the room. I ball up in the corner and begin to break down.

“I can’t..I can’t stay strong for Zuzy..This is too much..I can’t take it anymore..” I think to myself.

The safe place was eerie and quiet. The place hasn’t been the same since everyone found out Zizzy was infected.
