Dear Steven
It was so good to hear from you, loved your photos of your trip to Mexico, you're so lucky, I wish spring break in Scotland was as fun as it is in America. Me and Essie went to Glasgow shopping, but we ended up spending all our money on cocktails. Wish you could have been there, I miss having you around. How is Adam, I Hope you guys are getting along better.
I Look forward to hearing from you.

Dear Steven
Glad to hear about you and Adam, although I don't approve of the matching tattoo's, Btw why would you get matching tattoos of Gary Oldman? Oh also, who was the fella in the photo of you both at the beach, he was so hot, get his number for me ;) nothing much is happening on this end. Essie and I were going to get last minute tickets to T in the Park but she couldn't get time off work, also she keeps complaining about headaches every time I want to do something, I think she's annoyed at me. Going hiking with my dad this weekend, his midlife crisis is causing him to take up more and more activities, some of them are weird, he wants to go birdwatching net week. Anyway, looking forward to hearing from you and hopefully I hear from your sexy beach friend.

Oh, his name is Smith, wait, it that his first of second name?
Okay well I'm sorry, the tattoo looked like Gary Oldman, also why would you get a tattoo of a combination of you're a Adams face, its weird, and together you guys look like Gary Oldman, I've never noticed that before.
Oh my god, I'm so hungover, I went out with the gang last night to the pub, we drank way too much. It was Kates birthday so it was basically a night of Shots and chugging beer. It's sad that you guys couldn't join us, but I'm glad you're having a ball, not everybody was there anyway, Essie never made it, again.
but I'm seeing her later on tonight, im going to hers for a movie and pizza. I'm going to talk to her about why she's been so weird, it's really annoying me, she is actually avoiding me. well I'm going for a drive, dad's wanting company for rollerblading, that's right, rollerblading.
I'll talk to you later, have a shot of tequila for me

Sorry I didn't e-mail sooner. In the last e-mail I said I was going to see Essie. Well she told me why she was so distant. Do you Remember she kept telling us about her headaches? well they were getting worse, she thought they were just migraines, everyone did. well, it turns out She's ill. Very ill. She told me that they can't even operate on it, she only has a couple of months. her mum and dad are beside themselves, they're staying strong for Essie, but you can see, they are completely broken. Essie told me to let you and Adam know, she's not posting anything to Facebook or anything, she said she doesn't want to everyone to know. The past couple of weeks I've went to doctors appointments with her and helped her out as much as I can. She's actually okay, but everyday, she gets a little weaker.
sorry to be sending such a depressing e-mail. She wanted to make sure you guys knew.
hope everything is good on your end.

I saw the card you guys sent Essie, it was so nice. She couldn't stop laughing at all of the memories you wrote about, especially the time when we went camping. We actually found the tent we bought for the trip, I still can't believe that you bought a tent on eBay with a pole dancing woman on the side of it, although as you said, it's not your fault, the guy didn't specify about the design.
