Dear Emma,
It's been so long since we last spoke that I'm even beginning to forget what your face. But I can still remember your voice. Rough but firm. Slightly husky yet sweet like honey. I've been hearing it a lot lately. In my dreams, in the hallways, in class, during assemblies and student council meetings. I know it's a sign that something is about to happen.

Or maybe it's because I just miss you so much even though I'm the one who pushed you away, I did it for a good reason. Being a legacy isn't easy. My parents are willing to go to great lengths to maintain our power and influence. Even if it means keeping their only daughter away from the only person who makes her feel whole, the only person who truly understands her, the only person who makes her feel alive, the only person she's ever loved. And that's you. I love you, I really do. And I just wish I could have told you in person.

But by the time you find this journal, I'll be gone. You'll probably have a lot of questions. You'll probably rush here in an attempt to figure out what happened to me. There are secrets here. Secrets that the students of Belvedere will do anything to keep. Trust no one but Alec Blackwood.

I wish I could tell you more. I wish we had more time together. I wish I could hold you in my arms one last time. I wish for a lot of things. But I now know there are no such things as wishing wells and shooting stars. You taught me that. And you need to know, I don't regret what happened that winter.

Love, Molly

Love, Molly
