Gordie's Diary Entry
Dear diary,
Sorry I haven’t been writing lately, it’s just that I haven’t been able to think properly ever since Denny died. I just came back from finding the body and mum and dad haven’t even noticed that I left. Maybe it should have been me and not Denny. He was the better son. He did everything that dad wanted him to do, and he was cool about it. He played football and joined the army. Girls were always around him. God, why did he have to go! It should have been me!! There are so many things we could have done together if he was still here. He could have played football, gotten married and had a family. We would have seen each other all the time.
Ever since we found Ray Brower, I still can picture his face and mangled body. I can still see how his eyes were filled with sadness and fear. All I can think about now is why couldn’t we find him sooner, why couldn’t we save him? I feel so guilty, I never really talked to him or hung out when he was alive, I regret that.
On this journey, I had a chance to think properly, but also me and the boys’ had a chance to become even closer than before. We had our good times and bad times but we still stuck together. They made me feel like we were a family and they all understood what I was going through, especially Chris. Chris was the one who was always beside me when I felt alone and always had my back.
When we were on our way to find the dead body, I saw a dear, I was about to call the others but then I realised that the forest was showing something only to me and I thought I should keep it to myself and keep it my own secret. This adventure made me think about my life and wondering what will happen to us when we grow up. I have no idea what I would do without my best friends by my side.
Gordie.
