"Look at us" I lifted our hands "Holding hands Both crying"
She laughed, flicking her tears away
"And we’re going in there to read sorew quiet before she asked, "You think he left, don’t you?"
I didn’t answer I couldn’t I was still hoping it wasn’t true
Just then a pair of headlights was visible as a car neared the park, pausing at an intersection It turned right and went the entire way around the park "Look" I pointed to it
"I see"
We both watched as the car was uy press his forehead to his , trying to see us I relaxed The guy didn’t look scary or thug-like I was sure that was Jason’s roommate I waved and once I did, his face visibly relaxed He blew out a breath and lifted a shaky hand back He pulled forward, then turned around so he could park behind us
I looked at Claire "You ready?"
She shook her head, but her hand went to her seatbelt "We have no choice Let’s go and get these letters"
We both nodded We both reached for our doors…
neither of us moved an inch
Taylor,
If I know you--and I think I do by now ; )--you probably already knohat I’ to say in this letter But I have to say it anyway because I have to put in words how much I love you and howSurprise! (bad joke) (sorry)
That’s what this letter is about I never meant to have my "other" life affect you, but it has It was bound to happen eventually Gah of it I think about it the ood, and I a down the hours, ht it would be better if I was the one taking the bets, but it wasn’t I still gaot all sorts of fucked up I can’t tell you anything because if so ever happened to me, I don’t want you to be involved any more than you already are Just trust me when I say that this life is a toxin, but one I can’t live without It’s sweet fucking poison <-ha! That’s as poetic as I’ this over, it sounds like I was laughing as I wrote it I wasn’t I was bawling, but dah at how sucktastic this whole situation is)
Anyway, if you’re reading this, you went to one And no, I wasn’t the one to get my shit out of there I had so up and see if they could sell whatever they could to pay Rankin back I owe him a lot of money, but it doesn’t matter He’ll want to knoho you are and who the others are I know him He won’t let it rest A part of me thinks that even if I do disappear, it won’t ure out who punched him and who knocked hiood thing, though, is that I know those guys can take care of the their na happens to this letter I don’t want anyevidence, but just in case, burn this when you’re done reading I know it’s addressed to you)
