EMMA'S POV::

I ripped open the letter, slowly and carefully. He had handwritten the entire letter. I read it aloud softly:

"Dear Emma, to be completely honest, you haven't left my mind ever since you ran away. Sometimes I wish I could read your mind and find out why you ran away. That's one thing that's been bothering me. I keep thinking it was all because of me. I swore to myself that it was, and still is, my job to protect you. And do you know why? Because I've fallen in love with you. I know that kiss when you were leaving wasn't exactly necessary but I couldn't get the words out that I wanted to say. I can't describe how beautiful you are when you laugh, when you sleep, or whatever it is you're doing. I can't describe how much I love your laugh, how much I love your eyes, how much I love you. There, I said it. Yes, I said it in a letter. It's cheesy but I can't talk to you face to face because well, we aren't in the same country. But I want you to know that wherever you are, whatever you're doing, I want you to know that I will always love you. Always. Love, Charlie."

I began to cry an awful, missing you cry. The kind that's the hardest to stop. And I didn't stop myself from crying because it doesn't show that I'm weak, it shows that I'm alive.
