Camila,

Things are really difficult.

I got accepted into Montana State, so if I go there I'll just live at home, which is not what I saw myself doing at my age. It will be hard watching everyone leave when I'm staying, but I'm afraid to apply anywhere else. I don't want to put myself through more heartbreak.

I realized that your worst fear came true. Not going to prison, but leaving Bozeman in general. You always talked about Bozeman being where you always wanted to be, and then they took you away.

I want you to forgive your dad for always threatening to move you away. He's extremely torn up. I'm not saying this to worry you, but he has started drinking again, and I'm sure it's because of how much he misses you. I don't blame him.

Counting down the days.

Shawn
