Dear Charlie,
It’s almost 5 a.m. and I can’t sleep at all, I’m too nauseous about today. I mean, I’m going to live on the sea for a whole month! At first it seemed like a good idea but now, I’m not so sure about it. It’s too late for me to back up now, we’re leaving in 2 hours and uncle is already on his way. I don’t know why I am so afraid, there’s no one or nothing stopping me from doing it. Not Sam, not Annabel, not you. Nothing, I have nothing to lose if I go, no one but mother will miss me.
The only thing I will miss is one simple thing, the library downtown. I went there two days ago and read some book, chat with some old people, and then, without warning, a girl came to me asking for help. She was with a guy, I’m not sure if he was a relative or her partner. I didn’t really cared, my attention was on her utterly obsession on the Goosebumps series. We talked for a few minutes, she told me she goes to this art class on the community center, I told her “that’s odd, I tutor there and I had never seen you” she giggled, and replied “maybe, you should give yourself a chance to see.”
Love,
Joctan
