Chris’ Diary – The Day After The End Of The Play

Dear diary, 

The last 24 hours have been crazy, I am still processing everything. Yesterday we all found out that Larry is dead, that he took his own life because of dad’s crime. Oh god, Larry deserved better, he was a good man. I always looked up to him, copying every single thing he did. Now, dad is dead, he couldn’t bear it, being the reason Larry killed himself. 

I am devastated, not only for myself, but for Mother too. She lost her husband and her son, both in a split of a second, I cannot imagine what she is feeling right now, she is a wreck. The thing is, it’s all for nothing. Larry killed himself for nothing because after his death the court stated that Dad is not guilty. And Dad, god, his death didn’t bring all the pilots back to life, it just ruined mother’s, now she is all alone. 

I feel torn, between the man I was and the practical man I became. On one hand, dad paid for his crime, just like he should have done a long time ago. But on the other, what difference does it make? We cannot change the past, we can only live in the present. 

That is exactly what I am going to do, I am going to live life to the fullest. I will marry Ann and just live, it’s as simple as that.
