It happened again. This time it was worse.

Mom took Gray to go see her parents, so they've been out of town for the past week. Devin was home with me this time, but someone was with Dad. I'm not sure if he was drunk, but he had to know we were here.

So, Dad's cheating. Mom doesn't know, and Devin and I don't know what to do. We'll probably tell Gray-we don't keep stuff from each other.

I don't want Mom and Dad to divorce. I don't think either of them would really want me if they split up.

Lio and Jake are probably the highlight of my life right now. Jake planned a date for us last week, and we walked until we got to a clearing in the middle of the woods. He had set up a picnic for us, with sandwiches, and he made cookies. He was super embarrassed when we thanked him, and told him how sweet it was.

We've gone back there a few times-just the two of us. It's been one of the only times I'm happy lately.

I told them about my dad, and Lio offered to threaten him for me. Jake just wanted to be sure I was okay, and he didn't hurt me again.

They still don't know about Gray and Devin, and I don't know if I'll tell them.

Gray and Devin both seem like they'd like Lio, and there's no way I'm letting them take him away from me.

Lio got suspended from school for punching a guy that made fun of us for dating. I hope he doesn't tell anyone, because I know Lio and Jake's parents definitely won't approve.

Anyway, Gray should be back in a couple of days. Devin and I want to talk to him about this in person with him. I'm almost positive that he'll want to tell him mom right away.

I hope this goes well.
