Novel

//Dear Journal, I know I am lucky to be writing this, but all I can think about is my family back home. I didn't want to go in the black car or the boat. Crying was all my body could do to express itself at that moment. I'm scared here, sometimes too scared to talk. I hate it at this school, the only good thing is Brother Eubieus, and even he isn't that great. It hurts me to think about the others here, and what they have already gone through, the pain they have suffered. The pain that soon will overpower me.

I never see Thomas anymore, not since he left us with Father Maynard. He was supposed to watch out for Joey and I, care for us when Mom and Dad can't. He is not keeping his promises to Mom, he hasn't even said two words to me since we got to this boring school. All he cares about now is being a "good boy" and not getting in trouble here. Family was what we were supposed to be, now we seem like friends and even less then that. I want to go back in time, be who we used to be as a family. Just so I might feel full again.

That's when I started to give up eating. At first it was because I was really scared and worried. Then it was because my parent's told me not to eat anything that smelled unatural to me. Now though, it's because I want to leave this place. Before it's too late. I will do all that's in my power to get away from this horrible thing they call "school". Even if it kills me. Sincerely, Wilson //
