Burned Ones

Chapter 27

Cameron.
16 years old.

Hannah,

This is Cameron. Your dad never told me the amount of my bill. I asked around and included what I think should cover the price and then a little more for everything you and your family did for me.

If you ever need help, you can send a letter to the return address. No one will open the letter but me. Do not call or visit the address.

Thank you for saving my life.

I hope you can read this. I don't write often.

Cameron,

THAT WAS SO MUCH MONEY! YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO DO THAT! WHY DID YOU DO THIS? My dad said you now have money "on your account" so if you need to stop by again, he'll take care of it since you already paid for like three visits!!! I hope you don't need to go back, though. I offered to send it back to you in the mail but my dad said I shouldn’t do that and that you shouldn’t send that much money in the mail, either.

I looked up the return address you gave me because you didn't say I couldn't do that and it's a laser tag place. I didn't think those still existed. Am I sending this letter back in time?

I hope you're doing better and are safe. Would you tell me if you weren't? How is your cousin? I'm not sure I want to know the answers to those. I worry about you most nights, which I shouldn't because I didn't know you for very long but you nearly died multiple times in that short span of time and that sticks with a gal. I sound silly…Just be safe and thank you.

I hope you're well. I miss you!

Hannah

P.S. Do you remember that test you helped me study for? I passed it with flying colors. Thank you x1000. I am #1 in my class as of right now and I swear Janie is plotting to take me out or something so I'm on constant watch in all of my classes with her and her stink eye she keeps sending me but it’s not my fault I have better grades.

I'm sorry, you probably don't care about that.

Cameron,

How are you? I haven't heard back from you and I keep telling myself that could just mean you're busy. Are you busy?

I look for you in the hospital parking lot every day just in case but haven't seen you. Maybe you're just getting better at being creepy.

I will keep a packet of crackers on me just in case you stop by. I can bring other snacks, too. Do you have a favorite? Mine is cheese puffs.

I miss you,

Hannah

Cameron,

I bedazzled something today and thought of you. Actually, I was bedazzling something because I was worried about you and just kept thinking of you. I tried to think nice thoughts. I didn't really succeed. Are you okay? I haven't heard back from you but you told me I could write to this address.

Please respond so I know you're safe,
Hannah x
