I told you it isn't true!!!! I know it isn't true!!! It can't just be -- gone, it can't, Dad wouldn't let it happen, you don't understand!!!!

I'm not going to pack my things because everything is just fine. I know it's all just fine and -- and you can't tell me otherwise!!!! There has to be a mistake. I know there has to be a mistake!!!! It's all there. If you looked again, if you sent out another message, I'm sure, it's just a mistake

I don't know what I done wrong.

Maybe it was Fartgus. I bet it was. They're married, now, maybe he said something to her about me. I mean, it wouldn't be a surprise, right? He has something against me. Maybe he's trying to make me miserable. Maybe he just wants me to be alone here ...
