8 letters. What does everyone think about when they hear 8 letters? The why don't we sing? The first 8 letters of the alphabet? What about the most loving phrase of them all. I love you. This is the story of Avery & her 8 letters.
The rain poured down outside Avery's city apartment. She sat by the window ledge, watching the day go by as she was disturbed by the sudden sound of her letterbox. She made her way to the door and crouched down to pick the letter up. It was in a rosey pink envelope that had a rose scent. Little love hearts were drawn around the later "I". Avery thought to herself "I...what could I mean?" She carefully tore the envelope to reveal the letter. The beautifully handwritten letter stated "Avery, ruler of the elves (p.s I looked that up so if it's wrong oops) you are the light to my dark, the love to my heart. The Angel to my wings. But you just don't know me yet. Or do you? lots of love, ? x"
Confusion filled Avery's head as she placed the letter in an old shoe box and left it under her bed, trying not to think too much into it.
3 days later, Avery's thoughts were once again disturbed by the sound of her letterbox. This time it was a pastel blue envelope with a blueberry scent with the letter "L" on it. Once again, Avery carefully ripped the envelope to reveal the second letter.
" Didn't they tell us, don't rush into things. Didn't you flash your green eyes at me? Didn't you calm my fears with a Cheshire Cat smile? Didn't it all seem new and exciting. I felt your arms twisting around me. It's all fun & games until someone looses their mind. lots of love, ? x"
"a Taylor Swift song?" Avery whispered to herself trying to make sense of what these letters could be. But once again, she was left in confusion.
2 weeks passed and Avery had been sent 5 mores letters. Each with a different letter on the front. O, V, E, Y and O. It was a sunny Saturday morning, Avery was sat at her kitchen table doing her homework when another letter came through the letter box. A pastel green envelope with a lime scent, with the letter "U" on the front. Like she has done for the past 2 weeks, she carefully tore the envelope and read it's contents.
"Avery, I hope you've finally made the connection between these 8 letters. There's a lightening in your eyes that I can't deny. I hope you remember me Avery but nothing is better sometimes, once we've both said our goodbyes, let's just let it go, let me let you go. That was our agreement. Just forget & let it go. It's quiet when I come home, without your happiness and laughter, I'm all on my own. I could lie and say I like it like that. But I don't Avery. I miss you. Meet me in the park after you've read this final letter. Lots of love, ? x"
A few tears fell from Avery eyes as she took out all the letters from the shoe box and put them in order, making the connection. Each letter on the envelope spelt out the most important 8 letters. "i love you"
Without another second of thinking, Avery sprinted as fast as she could to meet the mystery writer, even though she knew who it was. As they came face to face, her first ex's face was revealed. Avery whispered "will we ever learn?..." as her ex replied "we've been here before..."
Tears filled both of their eyes. "we were young & in love, we were stupid and didn't know what we were loosing out on" her ex whispered, "I love you Avery..."
"I love you too..."
