Links POV

I can barely wake up in the morning. I'm having trouble speaking to my family. Everywhere I look I see Mickey, everywhere I look I see her bright green eyes and sharp, kind smile. I've become paranoid to, it feels like the paranoia is taking over. It's been days since I ate a proper meal. I don't wanna eat, all I wanna do is sleep. I haven't spoken directly to Rhett for days either. I'm walking around in my own world, but I don't want to walk around there. Everything's so dark, and there's no one I can talk to.

The thought of drinking has been there, but I don't want Rhett to see me like that. All I've done is laying in my bed, staring at the roof, waiting for time to go by. I haven't even tried to get up for a couple of days.

But, there was one thing that switched things around. I managed to get out of bed and eat my first proper breakfast in days. And Rhett went out to get the mail. I saw him in the window and he basically ran in again. When he came back we all just looked at him.

" Guys! Guys! This is big! " He shouted and opened an envelope.

" What is it dad? What is it? " Shepard said.

" It's a letter. From Mickey. " Rhett smiled.

He started reading.

I teared up remembering everything that had happened. But the main reason I cried was that I missed her. I wanted to know where she was and I wanted her here with me. But she didn't say anything about where she was.

After breakfast Rhett asked me to come look at the envelope.

" Link, look. It's from the office of Coats. It's like 10 minutes from here. "

" You think she's in Coats? " I asked.

" Maybe, I don't know. "
