12 Reasons Why

Hayes Grier

I was playing with Skylynn in the lake when my mom came out side and starts by saying

        "Hayes, a letter came for you."

"From who?" I respond curiously.

        'I don't know, some girl named Emma." I get out of the water and grab the towel that was lying on the grass. Whose Emma? And why would she send me a letter. I take the letter from my mom and take a seat in one of the lawn chairs we have placed outside. I sigh as I open the envelope and take out the folded piece of paper. I skim over it and am instantly very confused. So I start to read.

Dear Hayes,

        Well let me start off by saying, you were supposed to be my brother in law, buttt things didn't turn out that way. See, I've been bullied so much, to the point  where I can't take it anymore, so I've decided to end my life, and I know should I think this through, aren't things going to change and blah blah blah, I just I can't do it anymore It's gotten to the point where I'm just so broken, so damaged nothing could help me feel any better. Just it sucks. And I just want to say, thanks, thanks for being there when i felt as if I had no one, you were like my little brother, Like I watched you grow, I watched you change, like from your long hair to shor hair, I've watched you grow.

        And I'll be continuing to watch you from above, wait no that sounded creepy never mind. Anyways, I don't really know what more to say. Just know I love you, and I always will weather I'm alive or dead. and yeah I guess this is kind of sad but I just i couldn't take this anymore. Just know you mean a lot to me and you have helped me through so much you don't even know about. and it's kind of incredible, you all, all 12 of you are just so amazing and mean so much to so many people. And please never let the hate get to you.

         You have so many fans and so many people cheering for you in life, so please don't take it for granted because there are people like me out there who have no one, and you have thousands upon thousands who love and charish you, so never ever forget that. You mean so much to me and to so many others, Hayes, you're young and I don't think you realize how much you help people. It's just so incredible. And I'm honored to be one of your fans, to have gotten the chance to root for you in life. Just know I love you Hayes and so do many others. And this is good bye I guess. I love you.

Love, Emma Wilson

        Wow, wow, that's all that's going through my mind right now. I can help people? I can make people feel important, and wanted? I never knew I could do that. I never knew I could change lives like that. It is kind of incredible and kind of amazing to think about, it blows my mind how I can impact that many people. It's just incredible.

*A/N: I'm sorry, i know this chapter sucked ass and i'm sorry, I don't know much about Hayes and I didn't want to start to sound repatative because I hate that.  So I am so sorry that this chapter is so short and so horrible omg. But yeah that was Hayes's chapter and I only have Mahogany and Taylor's letters left. Omg it's so bittersweet that this book is almost finnished. Holy shit. I love you guys so much and please remember to stay strong and to stay beautiful, you guys mean so much to me and I love you all-Marie*
