Dear Rosie,

Hey!

I am writing this letter to express that I am so happy and so much grateful that you came to my mom's birthday party. I told you that she would like you. Even my dad told you that you are so beautiful which is extremely true! I love that dress that you wore. I love that happiness that you showed in the party and I love it when you held my hand. I want to hold your hand even more....

You see...my brother Jake is quite strict and not really into people. I don't know if he really like me but it doesn't matter to me as long as my mom and dad are loving me honestly.

Have you received the books? I told my driver to deliver it straight to your house. I told my dad that you fancy those fictional books on my dad's shelves...and he said 'yes'. I've read some of those and I hope you'll like them.

School seems a little hell now. Too much home-works were added to one specific subject. Well, I'll change the topic...how about the movies? I hadn't mention about it when you were here. We'll set any date for it, just let me know.

You told me that you're having any family problems. You mentioned that your father is so aggressive and a little too barbaric. You told me also that your mom has psychosis and she's in the mental health care. I do a research about it. I even asked my dad and it is so terrible. It hurts me that you're suffering when your mom suffers too. It broke my heart also when you said that ... that your mom can't even recognize who you are.

Honestly, I can't help myself falling for you. I admire your strength and braveness. I just hope that your father would give you a permission to come here. Let's hangout...go to the mall, spend time in a cafe or here in my room... let's enjoy our moments together. I won't ask for anything...I know we're too young for it.

I love writing letters to you. It feels like this is way too much better than phone calls. By the way, I want to give you a phone but you always decline. I understand that you don't like phones but if you change your mind... I'm ready to help you. I just want to hear your voice before I go to sleep and wake up in every morning.

I'll let my driver take this letter to you.

I can't wait for more memories together with you.

You're too fearless to suffer.

Too brilliant to cry in the middle of the night.

And too remarkable to be forgotten.

Once again,
'I will do everything to make you smile, laugh and worth it. Remember that Rosie. Bye for now.'


Love,

Jared
