My folks are keeping me home for the rest of the week. My mom told me to tell Krista that I had an ovarian cyst. I don’t even know what that is, but once I told Krista that, she told everyone at school. So, I don’t think anyone suspects what really happened. The doctor prescribed me pain pills as well as something to help me not feel so sad. Both make me tired, so I’ve been sleeping a lot.
Anyway, I know this is a weird letter. I’m sorry. My mom said I shouldn’t even tell you, but I really wanted you to know. I just thought it was the right thing to do. If I were in your shoes, I think I’d want to know, too.
I really miss you, Matty. I hope you are having a good life out in California. I hope I get to talk to you again soon.
Love, Leah
P.S. I’m not sure if I’ll even mail this letter. The more I think about it, I guess there’s no point in telling you what happened.
I refolded the letter and stuffed it back into the envelope. I tossed it back into the box and closed the lid. I then picked myself up off the floor, wiped the tears from my eyes, and headed downstairs towards Matty’s voice to face reality.
