Dear Diary,

Okay, I can't believe I'm writing in here again but I had to tell someone about this, even if it's not a real person. Because oh my God. Just...oh my God. So guess what? Bill's got a girlfriend. I KNOW, right? Like, seriously? Even boring old Bill is dating someone but I'm not? Oh wait- does that mean Bill is getting laid and I'm not? How depressing. Ewwwwwww...I just pictured it in my mind! Gross.

But anyway, her name is Sookie Stackhouse. Weird name but she's okay I guess. She's young (well, way younger than Bill I think) and and pretty and blonde and...kind of a goody-two-shoes. I knew her coming over must be some kinda special 'cause Bill was acting all nervous so I decided to have some fun and pull a prank. Harmless, really. I heard her voice when I got out of the shower (because according to Bill, I had to change into "some decent attire") and decided to make her think I was Bill's girlfriend. So I flipped my wet hair a couple times and adjusted it over my shoulders so it looked all model-y, then loosely wrapped the towel around myself so that it would push my boobs right up for maximum cleavage. Then I popped up on the staircase right as I heard Bill say:

"Sookie, there is something I must tell you- " Then I plastered what I hoped was a seductive smile on my face and gushed,

"Bill, I just love your shower!"

Sookie raised her eyebrows so high I thought they'd go to heaven and then glared angrily at Bill. And Bill looked like...well, he looked like if he were still alive he would've had a heart attack. I just giggled and tried not to double over with laughter. My punishment was to go to bed at, like, 1am but it was sooo worth it.

Then Sookie wanted to know all about me. I found out the whole reason Bill had to turn me was 'cause it was his punishment for staking another vampire in order to save Sookie's life. I don't blame her for it but I can tell she feels guilty. She even said that later on me and her would hang out and have a girls night or something. That might be kinda cool. I've never had a grown-up want to spent time with me or care what I think. I've never had that from anyone my age either.

But that was a while ago. Since then nothing interesting has happened at ALL. Being un-dead is actually not as exciting as I thought it'd be. Like tonight, I've just been watching TV. Bill left a few hours ago and he was all: "Jessica, I have errands to run. Errands which do not require your presence. So remain here and do your best to stay out of trouble while I'm gone." Psh, it's not like I go looking for trouble. I guess it just sort of finds me. And, okay, Bill's not exactly the coolest of guys but at least he's someone. I don't know anyone else here and it kind of lonely without anyone to talk to.

Hey! I just saw myself on TV! I'm missing. I mean, you know, not actually missing 'cause I'm right here talking to you, but I just saw my face- and my parents- on one of those "Find the Missing Children" ads! Crazy, right? My mom looked so sad...Oh wait, hang on, someone's here. Maybe Bill's back!

That was Sookie. She was looking for Bill but he's obviously not here. It was kind of a relief to have someone to talk to, but I got all upset and I started crying like a baby- and crying blood. I only realized it after I wiped my face and my hands came up red. Totally gross but Sookie explained it to me:

"Sweetie, vampires don't cry regular tears. So from now on, you're gonna cry blood," she said.

"Well, why do you know that and I don't? I mean, don't you think I should know this about myself?" I said, sniffling.

"Bill should probably've told you."

"Geez, ya think?" I retorted sarcastically. Sookie handed me a tissue. I admitted to her that I did actually miss my family a little and she told me it was like her Gran dying. I know she was only trying to help but it's totally not the same thing. 'Cause grandparents are supposed to die and leave their families behind- not the kids. But Sookie said that wasn't what mattered: "When people love each other, and then one of them isn't there anymore, it's the distance that hurts. And the distance is the same no matter who's doing the leaving."

I hadn't ever thought about it like that.

She also said she liked to sit in her Gran's room sometimes, 'cause it comforted her to be in places her grandmother had been. But I knew I'd never be able to do that. I would never be able to see or visit anywhere my parents had been. Unless-

"Do you think you could take me to see my parents' house?" I'd asked Sookie hopefully.

"Okay, I did not mean- you know I can't do that!" Sookie protested, but I cut her off.

"Please? I- I would just sit in the car, that's all I swear. All I'm asking is to sit across the street and catch a glimpse of them through the window. Just so I can say goodbye?"

"I'm sorry. It's just not my place…" Sookie shook her head. She told me to ask Bill, that if I explained it to him the way I explained it to her, then he would take me himself. But I wasn't so sure, and I could tell Sookie wasn't either. I began to cry again.

"Okay..." Sookie said slowly. "I'll take you."

"Really?"

"Yes. But we're just drivin' by and that's it."

"Oh, thank you Sookie! Thank you so SO much." I cried, jumping up.

"Oh, don't mention it." I nodded.

"To Bill," she said. Sookie turned around to look at me carefully. "Ever."

Like, okay duh, I'm not going to tell Bill! Why would I? He probably wouldn't want me to go in the first place. It's probably another one of his Don'ts: Don't curse, don't dress like a stripper, don't drink anybody's blood...ugh. That's good ol' Bill's motto: If it's fun, don't do it.

But I'm going to see my family! Momma and Daddy and Eden...But we'll have to go to Sookie's house first for some clothes because Sookie said she wouldn't dare take me out in public "dressed like that." All I had on was my pleated mini-skirt from Fangtasia and one of Bill's shirts. Eric let me wear stuff like that all the time when I lived with him. But I don't care about that now. As soon as Sookie gets done in the bathroom I'm going home! For a second, at least. I can't wait! Tell you all about it after- gotta go!

I just hope Bill doesn't find out.

A/N: Well, what did you think of chapter two? I tried to include more dialogue this time, so it wouldn't just be Jessica chattering on and on hahaha. Please, pleeeeeeease review so I know what you guys think! It helps!
