can i tell you a secret? ; halsanie (third book in the pinky promise series)

ashley's letter

january 19th, 6:54am

not going to kill me? really? you've always wanted me dead. maybe you've changed your mind.

what do i write? there's nothing left to say. melanie's death? i know it was my fault. but not because you couldn't have her and i could.

there's so many reasons. i'm not going to list them, though. you know those reasons.

i still won't write your name. it leaves a bitter taste on my tongue, just like my own name leaves a ringing in my ears.

you know that feeling too.

i know you do. i know so much about you.

and you know so much about me.

what else can i write? hm...

ah, i know.

i'll talk about tanner. doesn't that topic make you so very happy? your best friend. the one you killed.

you left her because you thought i had stolen her. then you poisoned her. and you laughed as you watched her die.

you laughed.

but now, look at you. you cry over her death all the time. you scream her name at 2 a.m. you cry over her.

you cry over melanie too. you miss her. you regret killing her.

~you still remember my name
