dear ethan,
another car drove straight into us. they skipped a red light & i was too busy being distracted by your idiotic mumbling to stop in time.
right before the car hit mine, you yelled out & i looked up and just saw these headlights coming straight for us.
i guess on instinct i swerved.
but when i did you got the main blow of the hit. i am so sorry, ethan. believe me, i am.
and you know what else?
they told me that if i hadn't swerved, if you hadn't yelled & i hadn't realised in time...
i would be dead, ethan.
i wouldn't be writing this letter right now, i wouldn't be wiping these tears from my face, i wouldn't be watching my best friend slowly fade away, i wouldn't be starting to get prepared for graduation, i wouldn't be living.
i would be in a casket in the ground.
i would be that dead girl.
i am so sorry ethan. i'm sorry that jack ass crashed into us. i'm sorry i didn't decide to just walk home that night. i'm sorry you're not here to experience all these little things that you're missing out on - like getting college acceptance letters & people already getting ready for prom & senior ditch day & not caring about being late for school every now and then because soon it won't matter anyway & all our favourite netflix shows streaming new episodes.
i'm sorry you're not awake to experience it all.
and i'm sorry that i am.
please wake up, ethan. i miss you.
love from your best friend,
chloe. xx
