Potential Anatomy

Chapter 5

A knock sounds on my door as I jump awake on the couch. Grumbling I get up yawning, looking at the clock. Who the hell is at the door at 6 am?
"Who is it!" I snap as I lean against the door.
"Delivery for Miss Matthews?" A boys voice yells from the other side of the door.
"I didn't order anything!" I snap again as the boy scoffs.
"Look lady I don't know what it is but its from a Mr.Tyler Hoyt." Quickly I pull open the door and grab the box from the boys hands as he stares dumbfounded.
"Do I have to sign for anything?" He holds out a clipboard as I quickly sign and hand it back slamming the door in his face, locking my door again as I walk into the kitchen. A package from Tyler? I wasn't expecting one yet. Yes. I'm expecting packages from a dead guy. He knew he was going to kill himself and asked his nanny to send me packages of videos that he and I made in our teenage years, photos, paintings, and letters. We grew up together and loved each other. I knew he was unhappy though and I knew that he wanted to kill himself. I wanted to change his mind, but it wasnt my choice, I wouldn't want to live the life he was either. He even told his parents and they didn't even try to stop him. For some reason I'm guessing they didn't care that he was going to kill himself. I can't talk about this anymore.
Taking a breath I grab a knife and open the box. What is this? A letter, two red velvet box, a photo and a video? What the hell ? She's not supposed to send this much at once... But what's with the other box's? Pulling everything out I put the packaging onto the floor and open the letter.

Dear Beauty bug,
I must say it's lonely up here in heaven without you. Everyday I think about you, everyday I miss you. I know you miss me to. This package was made to be specially delivered on this day, the day that I committed suicide, 5 years ago. This is all for you, all the things that Miss Laurence didn't have. I hope you like what is in the boxes. Knowing you youre reading the letter before you opened anything so I'll wait..............

Shaking my head I put the letter down and open the longer box. Inside is a beautiful diamond necklace made with white gold. It's gorgeous I smile softly and put it down. Slowly opening the second box a wooden ring sits as tears come to my eyes. This simple ring, made from a tree branch. We found it sitting perfectly on a tree branch, shaped just like a ring. I got it for him and proposed it to my king of the forest. I never knew he kept it. Quickly I pick the letter back up.

Good youre back. By now you should be in tears and loving both of the presents. But thats not why I'm writing this letter. The reason I'm writing this letter is because it HAS been 5 years since my death. Meaning its time to move on. Grieving is over, no more unhappiness. I want you to be happy for me Lay. Stop hating men and get one. You probably need to get laid. ;)

Giggling I flip the paper over and continue reading.

Please do this for me. Make people happy, put smiles on people's faces, show off your art work. I know that's another thing I need to hit on. Show off your damned art. You'd become a millionaire if you did so, but I understand your reasoning this is why I'm not going to push it. But it's a thought okay?
Keep working on the poverty thing unless you've already beaten society into changing. If not keep fighting I'm rooting from the top bleachers.
That all for now Beauty Bug.
Until the next letter.
Mwah!
-Ty.

Tears are now oozing down my face as I hold the paper to my chest. I miss him. My best friend.
The picture is of Tyler and I as kids dressed in vines and leaves. Each wearing crowns made of Leaves, twigs and mud. Smiling I hold the picture close to my heart and glance at the video. I'll have to watch it later.
