BACK - 15
Dear Emma,
I know I'm not getting any replies but I don't care.
I'm going to show you that I'm here for a reason and that I am going to commit.
That, and I also miss you.
I miss your hair and the way it looked imperfectly perfect in the mornings, I miss the way your eyes twinkled when I made you laugh or the way they grew darker when I annoyed you. I miss the slight snorting sound you made when you were hysterically laughing, but it was so quiet only I heard it.
Most importantly, I miss your feistiness.
I want to see if it is all there. If the Emma I know is there.
Or if you've turned into some stranger.
Love,
Issac

Dear Issac,
Doesn't it feel like a one sided conversation? I mean, if some unknown person were to read these they'd think you're insane.
But you always were.
Issac, I missed you. I moped when you left for 9 months until I could call myself 'me' again, but even then I wasn't the same.
You took a part of me with you.
That doesn't mean I still didn't miss you though. Because even while dating Diesel, I missed you. A lot. I'd find small things to compare you and him with until I realised there's no use.
I couldn't wait my whole life for someone who wasn't going to come back.
But here you are now.
That's what confuses me.
Regards,
Emma.
PS- Maybe I will send these to you.
[EMMA]
I go through my drawer and take out each of the letters I wrote one by one.
I hold them in my hands as I look at them and then look to the dustbin in the corner of the room. I then look back at the letters and do the same thing a couple more times.
Should I just rip them up and throw them away?
No. That's not me. I don't hide from my problems, I face them with my head held high and my chest out.
I'm going to send these to Issac.
"Bye babe, I'm off." I say as I give Diesel a kiss.
"But you haven't eaten anything."
"Not hungry." I shrug.
He gives me a disapproving look before sighing and throwing me a breakfast bar. I mutter a thank you as I make my way into my car, ready for work.
Before going there though, I drive to the nearest postbox and make my way towards it.
As I reach there, I just stare for a good minute until I take a deep breath and post them.
All four of them.

Author's Note: This had both the letters here, seeing as it was short.
EMMA FINALLY SENT THEM, YAY.
What do you think will happen next?
HINT: Didn't Lola tell Issac to go somewhere? Hmm?
