Love Annalise

Twelve

Dear J,

I have decided to go to Texas A&M.

I went for a swim scholarship.

I'm surprised I'm still one of the best on the team.

And still captain at that.

Aaron has started to ask how you died.

I don't answer when he asks.

I'm not that open to him yet.

I want to tell him.

He means so much to me.

Should I tell him?

Well you can't answer that so never mind.

He keeps asking--just to make sure I'm okay, I guess.

I told him.

I told him how you left after dad because mom was being abusive.

I told him how you were driving and got hit head on.

I told him how you called me one last time.

I told him how you whispered I love you Annalise.

I told him how I never got to say goodbye.

I told him how I never got to see you after that call.

I told him...

Everything.

He's so special to me.

So were you.

Miss you.

Love,
Annalise.
