"The Secrets of a Teenager: A Look Inside Liam's Diary." Liam felt a strange mix of emotions. Then he felt rage. The diary, chronicling his struggles with addiction, his insecurities, his most vulnerable moments, was now exposed to the world.

He stood up and went to the bathroom, and then he splashed cold water on his face. He spent the rest of the day in a haze of fury, and then he made his way to a nearby shop. He started stealing things, and then he got in his car.

He drove, and drove, and eventually, he found himself outside the house of the person he believed had done it.
