Angels

This story is dedicated to Ruth, or Rufus and Georgia

To Angel,

Where are you now? When I need you the most. I want to be with you, near you, to meet you someday. Do you know who I am? Because I don't know who you are. But I have to find you, one day... I will, our lives will cross and we will be together. I hope, you will take my hand and we will be close. We'll help each other and teach each other right from wrong. Help each other to stay strong.

That was my first letter to Angel, when the teachers said get a pen friend. I don't think they meant an imaginary one, let me explain. Angel is my dream girl I think? Depending on who all my letters end up with; I've been sending them for a year and a little bit now. So I've become quite friendly with the postman. I'm Beau by the way, I have a younger sister named Claudia, she thinks she knows everything about everything, and yet, she doesn't get why I'm sending letters to a girl I've never met. I adress them to Angel, it just seems to fit. I never put an address on them though, I just write 'somewhere' with a small heart drawn discreetly on the corner of the envelope. I hope the postman takes them somewhere, his name is Rufus, he's a jolly man, with a wife and five children, I don't know their names though. I'm not that nosey. But everyday at 11:00 and 4:00 he comes along, the local postguy and he's sees me peering out of the post slot and he takes my letter. When I first started to post them, he didn't understand, didn't get why I paid for stamps when they weren't going anywhere, he said. "Know what? This letter and all the others you have sent... They'll just sit in the post office and-" He smiled "actually, I think it's good what you're doing."

Anyway I'm here to tell you a story so I will, and I will start at the very beginning with the very first letter! Here goes:
