Dear Diary,

You think you know a person… You’re friends for years, you talk constantly about everything! Well, apparently not ‘everything’… I guess everyone has secrets, but when those secrets can affect your best friend, they should probably tell you.

Because when they don’t, you get stuck in a case of demonic possession…

All. Because. Of. A. KISS!

How was I supposed to know that she was possessed? I never saw her eyes turn black like in the tv shows. She never had her head spin around and certainly didn’t vomit green goop everywhere. There were no clues, no hints at all! Plus, none of the lore EVER said that possession could be transferred with a kiss!

Things had been going so well. I was finally almost out of the friend zone: not that being best friends had been so bad. It just naturally happened… After years of hanging out, we started to become comforted by each others company. We were there for each other, through thick and thin. It was only natural that we would fall in love. It was just like the stories.

This past year, her mom had gotten sick and passed away. We started hanging out pretty exclusively soon after. It was the two of us against the world. We chatted about breaking free of the chains that bound us, getting out of this town, and ruling the world!

I couldn’t possibly have known she had meant it all literally.

Though, I guess it hadn’t really been her saying all of those things. Given that the demon in my body thanked me for freeing them from their old prison… All because of a stupid kiss.

This kiss would probably win the world record for ‘worst first kiss’. It has started off so magically. She and I had been sitting on the roof, as we often did when we needed to get away from it all. The moon had been full and the stars glistened in the sky. Her eyes reflected those midnight diamonds as we talked about our dreams for the future.

She tucked a piece of hair behind her ear and leaned in close. I was almost breathless as my heart jumped into my throat. She was tragically beautiful. I couldn’t believe that she would choose someone like me. She smiled and told me to close my eyes. When I did, I felt her soft lips on mine.

Then I felt the creature cackle as it flowed into me. She held my head tightly so that I couldn’t pull away. Her grip had been unnaturally strong. My eyes snapped opened but they couldn’t see her face as they rolled back from the agony of the moment.

When she released my skull I gaged and coughed. I could feel the demon inside me as it tried to make itself at home. I looked up towards her and saw tears in her eyes. A smile overlook her face as she stood and backed away.

“I thought you’d never do it.” She laughed as she stepped towards the edge of the roof. “So long you mother fucker.” I couldn’t stop her as she stepped off of the edge. I heard her hit the ground below: it’s a sound I’ll never forget. Especially because it made me weirdly hungry… I’m guessing that’s the demon’s doing.

She’s probably still down there. I hear police sirens now. I’m sure they’ll be up any minute. The demon says not to worry though…

It will all be taken care of.
