Chapter 291: Later
Everyone is plotting something birthday-related downstairs, so all Alice knows is that she has to take a bath and make herself look pretty. Sounds good.
Chapter 292: Later
- Her family pulls off one heck of a surprise—the thing they were hiding downstairs was Joel. When she comes down, he kisses her right in front of her family, and they hold hands the whole night.
- He gives her a friendship ring (which she dramatically vows to wear until she dies), and she gets a slew of other great gifts from her family.
- Her birthday is a smashing success, and she can't wait to relive it all in her dreams.
Chapter 293: September 21
- Alice wakes up at the crack of dawn because she's anxious about starting school again. However, she tells herself that this year she has Joel and her new friends to help her get through it.
- She decides that keeping a diary is for young people, and from now on she is going to confide in real people instead of a journal.
- She thanks her diary for being a good friend and says goodbye.
Chapter 294: Epilogue
- Three weeks after the last entry, Alice dies of an overdose. Her parents come home from a movie and find her dead. They don't know whether it was accidental or premeditated, but either way it's sad.
