My dear, dear Ben,

So I looked at my phone today after a week of ignoring my friends. 6 texts off Jazz, 65 and 7 missed calls from Meela, 2 from Hermionie and 1 off Kiwi (Keira - these are all nicknames apart from Hermionie). Meela has been texting me constantly in the middle of the night and super early in the morning. I haven't been to my Bible study in a while either, I keep telling Becky I don't feel up to it. Man, everyone is so worried. I guess it's because I'm so suicidal. Well I'm not looking forward to tomorrow, because Meela had invited everyone out to a meal a while ago now. It's for her birthday, even though her birthday was a few days ago. I can't exactly ignore them in person. I do feel kinda bad that I had Meela worrying throughout her entire birthday though. I have to ruin everything, don't I. I even ruined Christmas.

I was so caught up in depression I didn't feel like it was here. My 15th birthday didn't feel like my birthday (although it did for a moment when you said happy birthday), and Christmas just felt like another day. And with my depression I'd dragged everyone else down. I hate being depressed.

But I'd go through it for the rest of my life for you.

Which, actually, is what I plan on doing. If I never end up getting my life back (aka you), then I'll stay depressed because I have no reason to be happy.

I also really really really really really really hope you are at church this Sunday.

I love you so so much, and I always will. I promise.

Yours,
Eloise xxx
