Therapy - Secret desire

Status: Open
Warning: Spoilers
Time frame: Post Movie
Subject: What is your secret desire?
Date: May 24th

So I was assigned to this therapy group as a means of helping me and McKayla handle the stress of everything that happened in the last year. I'm not sure we need it, but when you're some of the few survivors of an entire graduating class, I suppose I can see why they think it's needed. Not that I think this question will help me much in exploring my psyche. When your entire town and life has been the subject of newspaper articles, television stories, interviews, and the possibility of a made for tv movie, you learn that nothing about you is secret. Everyone knows everything, because it's been broadcast across the internet along with pictures of a burned down gym and the images of your classmates who never saw their prom night end. Much like the Titanic theme that, looking back on it now, was poorly timed. I can admit that now.

Just as I can admit there's a lot of things I desire, though I know I can't have them. No desires and wishes will bring my classmates back from the dead, and they won't do anything to even make the sicko that killed them face prosecution since he's, you know, dead too.

Maybe though I can hope for Jordan to meet up with his Mother in whatever there is after our lives here. I can hope that people learn to not assume a death is an accident just because it's easier than the truth. I definitely have the hope that in the future the police learn to listen to everyone and not try and silence the truth just because it makes their job harder.

But that is my past. That's our past now, and it's done and over. Nothing we can hope for or wish for will ever bring them back. So my desire?

Is that McKayla and I can keep going and make a change. That we can find ways to help other communities before this happens to them as well. I can't promise anything, but all we can do is stay true to ourselves and do whatever we can. For others.

Tragedy Girls out.

Private text to McKayla:

So how many messages do you think we can put in these things? It would be our Ripper letter legacy, you know?
