"What? No!" I let out a shout as I flipped the notebook upside down.
Were there torn pages? No, didn't look like it. I rummaged through the drawer more, but I couldn't find anything resembling the notebook anymore.
"Agh! Damn it! What kind of cliffhanger—"
I paused and pulled myself back, breathing slowly and deeply. Haa...I was being ridiculous. As if reading someone's diary wasn't morally skewed enough, I even treated it like some kind of novel.
*slap*
Jade chirped in shock as I slapped my cheek, flying frantically in front of me. But I couldn't humor its worry.
In my hand was the record of someone's suffering, yet I treated it like enjoyment, whining about cliffhangers and whatnot.
"You're such a trash, Val..." I reprimanded myself and put the notebook back into the deep part of the drawer.
Scooping Jade into my arms, I stood up and left the room quietly, the magic lamp flickered off as I exited and closed the door.
