dear ethan,
right now i'm sat on a ridiculously uncomfortable hospital chair, watching you sleep.
wow that sounded way too stalkerish, sorry.
you had an accident, and things went a bit wrong. now you won't wake up, and i'm just visiting, waiting for you to.
just like every day.
they keep telling me not to get my hopes up;
you might not make it.
you'll wake up for me, though, won't you?
you can't leave me behind, eth. i think i'm driving myself crazy without you.
lessons aren't the same; not without you throwing paper at the back of mr mitchell's head, or causing a riot in drama.
remember that time miss williams insulted my work because she was angry that one day?
you insulted her teaching every lesson after that, and got detention each time. for me. you told me it was worth it.
i miss you like crazy, please wake up.
i try talking to you - they tell me you can hear everything we say.
when you wake up i bet you'll tell me how that's all bullshit. you can't hear us, can you?
other wise you would've woken up.
that's why i'm writing these letters, you see. you can't hear me talk to you, at least i don't think you can, and i feel stupid doing it anyway, so i'm writing these letters to you, and maybe one day you'll read them, maybe you won't. but it's helping me keep my sanity, at least.
just keep going, i believe in you.
love from your best friend,
chloe. xx
