Lance didn’t show up. But like I said, I had a good time
without him, because I met some one else. I feel bad
because I don’t want Lance picking up on other girls. I got
a guy’s phone number. It was weird. I don’t know how it
happened. Heather was talking to him. Then he asked for
my number and Heather gave it to him and he gave me his.
While we were there he put his arm around me. Once we
hugged. Then he left. I came in and 5 minutes later he
called. We talked for 2 hours.
7/29/91
His name is Dan and he’s 20 years old. We were just getting
to know each other and he said if you do something about
your boyfriend we’ll go out Friday. Now I have to do
something about Lance. I’m supposed to call Dan in a few
minutes. I’ll try to call Lance tonight.
I called Dan and we talked for almost an hour. He said he
wanted to take me to Magic Mountain. Last night on the
phone he kept calling me a sweetheart. He asked me out on
a date for Friday. I paged Lance and Dan at the same time
and Lance never called back, but I talked to Dan 3 times
today. I need to let Lance know it’s over with us, but I
can’t tell him if I can’t get a hold of him.
7/30/91
I talked to Dan 3 times today and he is going to call me when
he gets home. I’ve talked to Lance 0 times today. I think
Dan really likes me. He is going to surprise me on our
date. I like him… When Dan called me after work he said,
“Hey sexy,” to me.
8/2/91 Friday
I talked to Dan last night. He read me poems of slow songs,
which made me cry. He said if anything happens we would
have a song (which he played for me last night). I’m
excited about tonight. I hope he’s not shy. This time when
he called me babe.
8/3/91
Our date was really fun. I had to pick him up, but I didn’t
mind. First we went to El Torito for dinner. Then we went
to Family Fun Center to ride the go-carts. After that we
went and got ice cream. During this whole time we never
even held hands.
Well, next we went to the movies. During the movie he
grabbed my hand and held on to it. So now it was my turn
to make a move, so I kissed him. After the movie I drove
him home. We sat in the car in front of his house for a
while. We listened to the radio and our song came on and I
kissed him again.
8/3/91
It was time for him to get out so I could go home. So we
kissed good-bye. I’ve went out with Lance for almost 4
months and we never French kissed. I go out with Dan on
1 date and we’re all over each other. I didn’t even kiss
Lance until we were going out for awhile. Dan didn’t get
one peck. Like Lance got. I can’t wait to see him again.
I got home at 2 o’clock and my mom was upset. So I don’t
know when I can see him again. But I really like him. I
can’t believe he likes me too. He’s 20 years old. Damn
I’m good. Lance was my 1st boyfriend, but 2nd the best.

2 Weeks Later
Dan called Heather’s house while I was there. He told her he
was coming over. Well, he wasn’t kidding. Shaun came
over too. So we sat in her front yard. I sat in Dan’s lap.
Once I was sitting across from him and he whispered, “I
love you.” I don’t know if I’m ready to tell him I love him.
He wants me to come over tomorrow and go swimming. I
don’t know.
8/16/91 and 8/18/91
I went out with Dan tonight. We went to play miniature golf.
Then we went to his friend’s house, who was having a
party. It was boring. So we went to his house. And you
know what we did there. He said he can’t wait to get into a
fight so we can have fun making up.
So we drove to the beach. We looked at the water, and kissed.
I told him I love him for the first time.
8/22/91 and 8/23/91
I went to Dan’s house, [but Dan’s grandfather was home] so
we drove around. And when we came back he was gone.
So we went into his room, and watched T.V. for half an
hour. After that we started kissing and touching. He
wanted to take my shirt off. (I had another shirt.) Soon
after that all my clothes were off. So I worked on getting
his clothes off… Then it happened… and we were having
sex. I was nervous… I’m not a virgin anymore.
Three weeks later, Dan told Bill about us sleeping together
last night. I want to tell my friends but I don’t want my
mom to know… not yet.
8/28/91 and 8/29/91
I went to Dan’s house, then we went to C.J.’s. At C.J.’s we
saw his ex – Kim. I think she’s pretty. While we were
there he kept hinting that he wanted to go to his house.
Like it was cool tonight. Well we did go to his house, but
we didn’t do anything. We were emotional. We hugged a
lot and I cried. He tried to cry. We only kissed a little.
I went to Dan’s house for the afternoon. We went to his
room. He wanted to go to the beach tonight, but I can’t.
So I hope I can see him tomorrow night. Lance called 2
times today. I like him still… but I love Danny.
9/8/91 and 9/14/91
Then I went to his house today. Then we came to my house
for dinner… then we went back to his house and well, he
was horny so we had sex… I don’t want to say this but I
think he pushes me into having sex. I mean he always
wants it. But I love him.
Remember I said Dan had something to ask me? Well, last
night he asked me to marry him. I think he was serious.
But I didn’t take it that way at first. I’m going to his house
tonight.
9/30/91
Two months later.
Dan left his pager here. So now he pages me all the time. He
called after work… something is up. He says he’ll do
anything for me. Then he says will you do anything for
me? He wants something. He said he would call back. I’m
dying to know what’s up with him.
I was so worried, but the thing he wanted was to use my car
for an interview. So he is going to use it while I’m at
school, then he’s going to pick me up. So I get to be with
him tomorrow night.
10/1/91
I told Dan I was sick so that I wouldn’t have to come over.
But he’s upset. He’s trying to get me to come over. He
called and said he needed to know if I was coming. I said,
“No.” He was upset and we just hang up. Not even an “I
love you.” I don’t know what I’m going to do about him.
He’s getting unbearable. I love him, but he’s obsessed. He
always had to be with me. I can’t break up with him. I
don’t know what I can do.
10/8/91 and 10/28/91
Lance called!! I talked to Dan. I miss him. HE found out I’m
writing a diary. So he got mad because I wouldn’t read
some to him.
We talked about names for baby. Weird conversation. He
wants a baby. I do too. Just not so soon. I’m getting
nervous. It would be so easy for me to get pregnant
because we don’t use any protection. I want a baby but not
now.
11/3/91 and 12/01/91
WE had a tiff. We didn’t speak for a while. But we made up.
I’m tired of him pressuring me. When I tell [him] I don’t
want to. But he’s a horn dog. Sex, sex, sex.”
I told Dan I was sick so that I wouldn’t have to come over.
But he’s upset. He’s trying to get me to come over. He
called and said he needed to know if I was coming. I said
no. He was upset. And he just hung up. Not even an I
love you. I don’t know what I’m going to do about him.
He’s getting unbearable. I love him but he’s obsessed, he
always has to be with me. I can’t break up with him. I
don’t know what I can do.
12/08/91
I’ve talked to him a few times today. He wanted to come
over I won’t get to see him until Saturday. He said he
gave me that rose for our 4 month anniversary. He’s so
sweet. I wrote him a latter. All about our weekend. I love
him. When we were fighting he was crying on my
shoulder wanting me to forgive him. 1 fight in 4 months is
not bad. He says he’ll change. He realizes I’m not like
him. I love him more now than ever.
Lance called the other night. He asked my mom what I want
for X-mas. She told him a new boyfriend. And he said
how about an old one. Sounds like he still likes me. But
I’ve got the best boyfriend.
12/17/91 and 12/25/91
I started school late so Dan and Mike came over this morning.
When I left for school I found out Dan snooped around in
my room and found one of my journals.
For X-Mas he made me open my present last. Inside that big
box was a lot of little presents. Then at the bottom was a
ring.
01/08/92
January 1, 1992!! This was the
best New Year’s Eve of my
life. We got a motel room.
We made love. Then we read
my diary ... Then we took a
shower. We made love as the
year changed. It was so
wonderful. The night before
(12/31) we got into a fight.
But to make up, we had sex in
my car. Something I said I
would never do.
1/29/92
Dan and I are arguing. He’s mad because I can’t or won’t
come over. I won’t try to talk to my mom. He said it
sounds like I don’t want to see him. I won’t be able to see
him tomorrow either.
He said he won’t stop trying to see me. And if I don’t try
things will get worse. I guess he’s going to come over
tomorrow. So he says.
2/8/92
Dan asked me to go to Rock-n-bowl tonight. Well, I didn’t
want to. So we argued about that. He came over and I said
I thought we’ve been seeing each other too much. He said
he hopes he’s not losing me, because the next thing I’’ be
wanting to see other people.
2/17/92 and 3/8/92
We had a good weekend. We barely fought… I spent the
afternoon with him today. Tomorrow I’m going with him
to buy suits. (He took the diary I wrote about Lance).
He [Dan] came over at 11 and we did mailing for his job.
Then my grandparents came over. Things were fine. Until
he asked me to do something and I argued with him. So
we got in a BIG fight. It was so big that he almost broke
up with me. I even thought he did. This is it, if I screw up
again then it’s over.
3/11/92 and 3/18/92
I drove to school, and Dan was still there after school. I
watched him play basketball. Then I went to his house.
Things weren’t like they usually are. He was mad at
everything I did or didn’t do. Like I didn’t kiss him, so
when I did he didn’t want one.
He used my car today. Then I went to the park with him and
he came over when he was done. We hadn’t fought in 5
days. Then today we had it out because I won’t wear the
shirt he bought me. But we made up.
3/22/92
My mom said I couldn’t go anywhere. That pissed Dan off. I
told him not to come over. I told him to [expletive] off and
he hung up. Then he called back and said I’d better be
there at 15 minutes after 12 or it will be the beginning of
the end. I’m not going over there. I won’t take his threats.
Let him break up with me. Sometime I wish he would.
5/2/92 and 5/6/92
Last night was hell. I told him I wanted to see other people.
Well we broke up. I wanted to still see each other and go
out, but he didn’t want that. He rode home at 11. He
called me at 12:30 to say he was okay. Then we made up
and we decided things will be different. We won’t be
seeing each other as much. And if I lie once he said he
will never see me again. (I’ve been thinking about Lance a
lot lately. I wish I could give him another chance.)
9 months Happy Anniversary. Ya right. All we’ve been doing
is fighting. He wants me to take a bus to see him Saturday.
I said no. So he got mad.
7/1/92
Lance (old boyfriend) called while I was gone. I hope he calls
back. Lance did call back while I was on the phone with
Dan. And Dan knew. I’m in deep shit. Dan hates me. He
broke my sunglasses. He said a lot of mean things. Now I
have to call back tonight and apologize to him. I wish it
was easier to get over him. I wish he would get it through
his head that I’m not going to go back with him. He tells
me I better figure out what I want.
7/92
My mom asked me if I had to make the decision right now,
what would I do? I told her I would keep it, and she went
off the wall again. Saying how I would ruin my life,
because if you went into the marines, we would have to get
married and I could forget about taking my car, and our
baby wouldn’t have anything…
I LOVE YOU!
I MISS YOU!
I NEED YOU!
I WANT YOU!
xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox
Kiss the baby!
8/3/92 and 8/6/92
What a mess. Dan needed me to come over. So I did, but I
couldn’t stay. He was going to leave or kill himself. I was
worried about him. The next day he was at Julie’s & I
went to see him. On Wednesday [8/5] we went out, but we
fought.
Dan came by and wanted me to go out. I ended up going. He
got a motel room and we had a good time.
8/8/92 and 8/9/92
I spent the afternoon with Dan. We went to the movies.
Tomorrow we’re going to the beach.
The beach was hell. All we did was fight. Now we’re not
talking. I think it’s over. He said I’m not worth talking to,
so when he called, I hung up. He told my mom I need to
grow up. I don’t need him. Lance called. He ships out
Tuesday for 3 weeks. I can’t wait until he comes home.
8/10-15/92 and 8/17/92
One day I was supposed to take Dan to look for a job, but the
night before we fought. I still went but he ended up
driving to Big Bear. Sat. I went to his sister’s all day. In
the end we had a huge fight. I slapped him and he took my
rings. He burned all my things from Lance. He won’t
break up with me & I can’t bring myself to do it.
I went to the beach & Dan was really upset because I said I
would not go if he couldn’t go. He kept calling and
threatened me. Then he came over and told me to break up
with him. So I did… but we didn’t.
No Journal 1993
Nicholas is Born 12/5/93
2/8/94
I decided to start writing in a
journal again. I just hope it
doesn’t get me into
trouble. Things are going
good with me and Dan. He
has a good job and a car
and a place to live. We’ve
talked about getting an
apartment and getting
married. Nicholas, who is
2/8/94
Now 2 months old, and doing great, is growing like a weed. I
love him to death. I still can’t believe I have a baby. I’m in
college at night. Things are rocky with my parents. I saw
Lance last in December. And he calls me once in a while.
He told my mom he would take me and the baby back. But
his chance was over a long time ago. Because now I am
going to try and make things work with Dan.
2/13/94
Baby is two months old.
On Friday night I took the baby to Dan’s house and I didn’t
feel like making out and he got mad. We got into a huge
fight and he wouldn’t let me take the baby home. He hit
me. I was hitting him. He threw me out and threw out the
baby’s things. Well on Saturday I called to apologize and
Saturday night I went to his house. So now things are
better.
Dan thinks Lance is still in Arizona or Texas. So I’m safe
with him not find out about Lance coming over and giving
me a Valentine's gift. What Dan doesn’t know won’t hurt
him.
2/14/94 and 2/19/94
Lance called to say Happy Valentine’s Day. I didn’t even get
to see Dan today. He said he would make it up to me.
(How many times has he told me that?) Besides his way of
making up is having sex. Anyway it won’t be the same –
Valentine’s Day is over. At least I wasn’t totally forgotten.
I still got a gift from Lance.
I wonder what is going on with [Dan]. The other day he told
me he stays up at night thinking. I guess he doesn’t like
his job. And who knows what else is wrong. I want to call
him, but I don’t know what to say to him. I’ll wait until
tomorrow. I got lucky. Dan almost saw the card from
Lance. I would be dead if he saw it. He thinks I haven’t
talk to [Lance] in a long time.
2/23/94
I called Dan because he was supposed to get paid and he
owes me money. He didn’t answer his phone or my page. I
was calling all night and I was getting worried… So I went
over there. When I saw him still in bed this morning, I
knew he had lost his job. He wouldn’t tell me what
happened. I’m going back over there when my mom gets
home. I can’t believe this is happening again. I don’t know
if I can take it. I will go crazy if he loses anything. I can’t
stand by and watch him lose all he has worked hard to get
back. I won’t be able to stand it if he lives on the street
again (his rent is due… I hope he can pay it).
2/23/94 and 3/2/94
He has to get another job soon because now he has a baby to
support. It’s a good thing I get welfare of we would be
really bad off.
HOW COULD HE LET THIS HAPPEN ???
Dan hasn’t had any luck finding a job. He hasn’t been trying
that hard. I guess my plans to go to Magic Mountain for
my birthday are shot. I won’t even get a present from him
this year. ( I would if he had a job. )
3/4/94
I can’t believe what happened. Well first Lance called and he
asked me what I was doing tonight. I told him nothing.
Then he asked if he could rent a movie and watch it with
me. I told him I had to call him back. I tried to get ahold
of Dan all day. When he finally called he was an asshole.
So I called Lance back and said it was okay. He came over
at about 7:15. We started the movie at about 8 o’clock and
my mom and Jesse left so it was just me and Lance. We
just sat next to each other for a while. He played with
Nicholas and he walked with him. When the baby went to
bed he got me involved. He started tickling me. (I said if
you keep doing that I’ll have to find where you’re ticklish.
He kept on doing it.)
He rubbed my feet and gave me a back rub. He stayed even
after the movie was over. He left at 11:00 and I walked
him out to his car. We stood there and talked. Then we
hugged. Not like we’ve hugged before. This time it was
more intimate. Then we held hands for a second and
hugged again. He said he would call and see what I was
doing tomorrow. Unfortunately I have to see Dan. I don’t
feel bad about seeing Lance behind Dan’s back. I guess I
should. It’s kind of fun sneaking around. Dan will never
know.
3/5/94 and 3/16/94
Dan came over (to get money). He got pissed when I told him I
don’t have any. Then he called and said he doesn’t like liars.
Well I’m not lying. I don’t have to put up with this shit with
Lance. (I don’t know why I put up with it with Dan.) I love
Nicholas, but now I am stuck with Dan. Who I don’t want to
be with right now.
Dan was an asshole today. What else is new. I haven’t got my
check so I have no money and Dan takes all my change.
What a jerk. Next time I see Lance I am doing it (Kiss him).
[Lance came over] I was so nervous standing outside. I was
afraid Dan would drive by. Lance kissed me on the head. (I
couldn’t do it). But it will happen. I just hope this doesn’t
blow up in my face. If Dan ever found out he would be
furious.
3/18/94 and 3/20/94
Lance came over. We watched T.V. He held me more
affectionately than you would even a close friend. My mom
said I light up when he calls. I used to do that with Dan.
Lance treats me so much better than Dan. Outside we hugged
a lot and he kissed me on the cheek. (We’re getting closer). I
like being with him. With Dan I can’t wait until he leaves.
Today is Dan’s birthday. He called this morning being a jerk
and then he wanted me to come over. I’m sick of his attitude.
Lance doesn’t do this shit to me. Dan can spend his birthday
the same way I spent mine [alone]. I haven’t heard from
Lance today.
4/4/94 and 4/8/94
Dan was such an asshole last night because I wouldn’t go to the
motel. He kept calling and he wouldn’t let me go to sleep. I
cried my eyes out. Then today he tries to be nice. Well I
won’t forgive him. I’m sick of the way he treats me. I can’t
wait until Lance comes home. I won’t be able to stand it if
he stays longer than a week.
Dan is an asshole again today. And he let me know that I’m a
bitch.
4/17/94
Things are really bad. Dan and I went to get ice cream. And
then we parked to talk. He told me he had to let me go. I
think he’s giving up on looking for a job. And me. We sat
in the car for a long time and I wanted to go in. I got out
and he told me to wait a minute, but I started walking
towards the house. So he hit his windshield with his fist
and cracked it a few times. I don’t know if I’ll see him
again. He doesn’t have anywhere to go but he can be so
stubborn. I never wanted this to happen. But I still want
him and his situation anymore. But I still want him around
for Nicholas. I’ll just have to wait and see if he comes over
today.
5/30/94
I had quite a night last night. I was wrong about Lance [not
really caring about me]. He called and asked if I wanted
company. Well a minute later he was at the door. He
called me from a pay phone by my house. We watch t.v.
and he held me a lot. He held Nicholas. Then he was
kissing my neck and chewing on my ear. Dan called while
he was here, but he hung up on me and never called back.
Lance stayed for 3 hours then I walked him outside where
we talked and hugged for ½ an hour. I told him I wasn’t
going out with Dan. He said he doesn’t like playing
games. Like sneaking around. Well I’m sorry but we have
to. Dan would kill me and Lance if he knew. Before
Lance left (we hesitated for a while) we kissed. .. He said
he’d been waiting for that. This is a mess. I have to be
very careful.
6/10/94 and 6/18/94
It was another one of those days. Dan came over to get the
baby and he went in my room to try and find “Brad’s”
number. He looked everywhere. Then he starts digging in
my trash. He gets to the bottom and he found an envelope
to Lance and then a letter that I never sent. So he get
raged….
Dan took me to Magic Mountain. We had a good time. We
left early and went to his house and made love. We
actually got along.
6/24/94
Last night was hell. Dan had the baby for the night… Being
with Lance was the only good part about last night… The
hell started when I got home. Dan was pissed because I
didn’t call when I got home, plus he knew I wasn’t
babysitting… I’m so tired of Dan doing this to me. I wish
he would leave me alone. I want to go on, but I’ll never
be able to. I’ll always have to sneak around. Now I did
it! Dan knew I didn’t babysit. I told him I saw Lance. He
flew off the wall. We were in my car and he cracked my
windshield and broke my radio, but the worst is he was
telling me he was going to get Nicholas taken away. He
scares me when he does that.
6/30/94 and 7/3/94
Heather drove by and Dan remembered when I told him I
went over there. He would have talked to her so I told
him I didn’t go over there. He got pissed. I didn’t tell him
I took the baby to Lance’s. He would of killed me.
Tonight he [Dan] got mad because he doesn’t think I care
about his feelings. I can’t help him. So he was talking
crazy. Saying he’ll show everyone who hurt him. I can’t
deal with this again.
7/6/94
Dan is serious about going out with a sign to get a job. Guess
who has to take him? He got all of his things out today, so
he’ll probably sleep in my car tonight (and every other
night).
7/14/94 and 7/24/94
Dan and I took Nicky to Disneyland. Then we went back
with Jesse and his friend. We even argued at Disneyland.
I was getting mad because he wouldn’t keep his hands off
of me.
I can’t take this much longer. If it weren’t for Nicholas, Dan
would be history. Dan and I are having all these problems
and I’m always thinking about Lance. He’s a dork, but he
treats me so nice.
Nicholas is 8 months old
8/1/94
Dan took a baby for a walk. When he came back no one was
here. He came into my room and pushed redial on my
phone. While he was gone I called Lance. Dan hung up on
him and Lance called back. Dan picked up the phone and
said, “If you talk to Megan again I’ll kill you.” Then he
grabbed the baby and walked off. He took my wallet and
told me to come pick him up. He got in to drive and started
driving to the beach. Well, I whined and cried to take me
home. Anyway, he forgave me. I wish he would stay mad.
Maybe then he would leave me alone.
8/2/94 and 8/3/94
I took Dan to the welfare office. He was supposed to get his
food stamps but he didn’t. Now I’m screwed.
Dan was here early. I was calling Legal Aid to file custody
papers. Dan was outside my window and he pulled the
screen open and pulled the phone out. So he was all pissed
about that. Then the phone was for me about a trade
school and Dan comes in and hangs up the phone. I
scream at him and slap him.
8/20/94
Dan said when he gets his food stamps he’s going to
Washington or Oceanside. When have I heard this before?
I’ll have to wait and see. I doubt it will happen. Not with
my luck.
12/5/94
Nicholas’ Birthday!! I can’t believe he is already a year old.
Dan is off on a trip. Now he’s saying that he’s going to kill
himself. And if I want to keep Nicholas, the I’d better be
nice to him until then. I would be sad if he did, but I would
get over it, because he is ruining my life and if that is the
only way he’ll leave me alone---then---I don’t think he’ll
actually do it. He said this before.
12/12/94
Dan was supposed to go to Eddie’s, but he didn’t. He said if
nothing happens by January 1st then he would ‘leave.’ I
don’t know what he means by that. But I do think I would
be happier if I didn’t have to deal with him.
12/26/94
The Day After X-Mas
I told Dan 1 week and if he doesn’t have a job then that’s it. I
can’t take it anymore. I know he won’t have a job. My
mom is trying hard to get papers so that I will have custody
of Nicholas.
One of these days I will be away from Dan.
Christmas sucked. I got good gifts but Dan made it suck
because he was an asshole on X-mas Eve. He was mad
because he had to sleep in the car… We went to his
Grandma’s house. All of his family was there. They were
nice to me, Dan was being an asshole. Then he didn’t get
any presents so he was upset. Then I found out he took
money from me, he said because I lied about it, so he took
it to teach me a lesson.
I’ve had it with Dan. He had the baby outside and he was
walking off with him & I was grabbing the baby. He gave
him to me & I brought him back in. Dan comes in the
house & goes to my phone, I called Lance last.
I told him to get his stuff out, not to sleep in my car. It’s over.
I hate him, I don’t want anything to do with him. He made
me give him money so he could leave & he took the
cordless phone.
Lance called shortly after. He is so sweet. He always makes
me feel better… He is still waiting for me. He has never
called me a name or put me down.
12/29/94 and 12/31/94
I hate Dan for what he is doing to me. I wish he would leave
me and the baby alone.
Nothing has changed. Dan still comes over every day at 8:30
and he still sleeps in my car. He still has to know
everything I do. It’s New Year’s Eve and I have no plans.
The only good thing about this year was Nicholas. Things
between me and Dan were terrible the whole year and now
it’s over. Maybe in 1995 I can have something good
happen with Lance.
1/3/95
Dan was here all day. He drove me crazy. Nothing has
changed. We took Nicky to get some test done. Turns out
that there is nothing wrong with him.
Dan says he’ll probably have a job in a day or so and then he
said I’ll never want to leave him. Yea right. Even if he had
a good job and a place to stay, I still don’t want to be with
him. I don’t know what I can do to get that through his
head. I don’t love him anymore.
1/9/95 - Last Entry
I know we will have a big argument about this tomorrow…
When I got to Lance’s he was still in the shower. We went
and got ice cream. Then we watched TV. He didn’t try
anything. Outside we hugged. He asked me what I wanted.
I told him I didn’t know. But that I wanted Dan out of my
live. Then I kissed him (peck) to let him know I
care…When I got home I thought I was free, but as soon
as I got in the door, Dan called me. He said I hope you had
a good time and I walked in. I know he’ll be an asshole
tomorrow.
