OMG darlings! If you’ve been following my account, you know Jared has been acting sooo suspicious lately. He’s taking me away this weekend and I THINK THIS IS IT. I need to book a French manicure before we go—which is the best salon in the city? Reply below!

It’s happenninnnnngggg! Jared’s so nervous and twitchy lmao. He says its a two hour drive into back country and I. AM. HERE. FOR. IT.
I bought the cutest red flannel dress for the occasion. Samantha Chiu can do rustic. Samantha Chiu can do ANYTHING.

The signal is weak af out here. I don’t even know if this is posting, none of my apps are loading.
The cabin is…not like I pictured. Kinda gives Blair Witch vibes. Makes me want to cuddle up close to someone. *sly wink

I just met Jared’s grandmother! She’s this tiny, fierce, old lady. She chops her own firewood! I don’t think she likes me yet. She spit on the ground when she saw me, three times, and went back to swinging her axe. The flannel dress was a bad call.
How can I win her over? Reply below!

I can’t believe my GQ model came from this place. Jared said he grew up here. His grandmother raised him after his parents died.
She’s not exactly welcoming. She wouldn’t speak to me, even when I asked her a question. I repeated myself, louder and slower. But she just muttered to Jared words I didn’t understand.
I’m nervous, dinner looks like some kind of meat stew. I hope Jared’s told her I’m vegan. I changed to sweat pants and one of Jared’s t-shirts now, and I’m glad, cuz the floor and furniture are filthy.
Nothing’s loading on my phone. Thank GODDDD I can still post on this one. Stay with me guys, it’s pretty tense up in here. I don’t get it. Usually old ladies love me.
@Ain’t_Chiu_Pretty
WTF guys. WTF. I just found Jared’s grandmother fucking standing over me while I slept. I freaked, and Jared got her out of the room.
They’re talking now. Well, yelling.I don’t know what the hell is going on. I just want to go home. My stomach is cramping so bad. That fucking stew tasted sour and just…vile. I wouldn’t eat the rest of it. I’m afraid to even go to the bathroom. I wish I could understand what the hell they’re arguing about. It’s just Jared saying “No” over and over again.
Is he…fuck. Is he crying?
@Ain’t_Chiu_Pretty
Jared won’t take me home. He says she won’t let us leave, that she doesn’t approve of me.
Okay fine maybe I don’t approve of the creepy bitch either. He’s holding her axe and keeps saying he’ll protect me. Protect me from what? Why does he look so scared?
I can’t even call anyone, there’s no signal. If any of you can see this, please send a cab or hell, a cop car to … fuck. To the run down shack two hours out of Toronto. Jesus, I don’t even know where I am.
@Ain’t_Chiu_Pretty
I’m back at my place everyone. Sorry for the false alarm. You can stop calling the police, everything’s fine. I took Jared’s car home because his grandma had a bad accident and he’s going to stay for a while to take care of her.
There was so much red on the ground…
The leaves, I mean. …What’s YOUR favorite season? Reply below!
