Why is there a letter to ers hesitate to open it but eventually I do

My first tear drops after I read the first sentence and by the end, I’ tears and heartache

Dear Jett,

Don’t forget to dance in the rain…

If there’s one thing I wish for you, it’s a lifetih with you but you need to proht for your happiness I know you struggle to let people in and I know you’re so worried about losing the people you love, but you can’t live your life that way Life is like a stor brother, one minute calm and the next it’s all chaos and mess Promise me you won’t wait for the storm to pass Proet to heaven

Love, Princess

My sister is looking out forthe casserole out of the oven, fighting with the oven door that wants to shut on et the dish out, but just as I’m about to place it on the kitchen counter, it slips out of oes all over my kitchen floor and the dish shatters on the tiles

Fuck

I fling the tea towel onto the counter and storm out of the kitchen to the balcony I need so table All I see when I look at that godda from him, I don’t want to think of his ass or his lips or his hands or anything of his

The warht breeze tonight and I lean against the railing, close ia Line drift across the night air and I sood taste

Theends that I realise I got lost in it for a while there The last three weeks have been hard and I’ve moped around for hter since I’ve avoided going to see Jett because ofto find hi okay after Claudia’s death, and two, I need to know if it really is all over for us because if it is, I’ve decided to pack a suitcase and go travelling for a few ht killtable, but I need to see him one last ti off the railing, I head back inside to clean up the mess I made in the kitchen As I slide the balcony door closed, someone buzzes forin unannounced lately, so she can check up on , and say, "You just couldn’t stay away from me, could you?"

I’m met with silence and I realise it’s not Erin And then his voice sounds and my body reacts instantly It’s like he has this power overmy tummy to flutter, my core to scream out for him, and my heart to soar
