Getting closer...

Dave

Bethan's following me. She doesn't know that I've seen her. Or at least, I don't think she has. I knew she wouldn't leave it alone. I thought that I could block her out but I should have known that when it came to Laney, she wouldn't let it go.

I don't want to see her. That part of my life is over now. I don't want to go back there. Oh God! And Katie! What does she know? I should have destroyed the camera when I found it! And why didn't I get rid of the film? Stupid, stupid man! Why did I think that it would be enough just to have it?

I need to think. I need to think of how this can end. I need to think of how I can escape.

Bethan

Finding a time where I can confront Dave is proving tricky. I don't want spectators. I want to interrogate him and I want to do it face-to-face somewhere where we'll have no interruptions, no distractions, no way to wheedle out of answering questions.

I've got an idea of his movements now. I just need the right time to move in.

Katie

Bethan's great. I mean, I love my mum and everything but there's something so...solid about Bethan that just makes me feel safe. It's different to how I feel about my mum. I know that Mum would protect me and all but, I don't know, there's something more to Bethan, something steely that makes me feel like she's unbreakable. I'm so glad that she came round that day.

I've been thinking. I'm wondering if I should tell her about the photos and who I sent them to. I mean, she'll know who they are because they were Laney's friends at the time so who I chose won't be a surprise. I just want to share this with her. She deserves answers. That was the reason that I did it in the first place because Laney's been left and the only one who cares, who's ever cared is Bethan.

And I think she should know about what else was on the film. I'm going to tell her what I know.
