Hailey's letter
Dear David,
It started with nightmares. I developed insomnia because of them.
I didn't need the sleep, more than six hours a night would nearly kill me.
That's why I spent so much time in the hospital when I was younger.
I would sleep for so long and the nightmares would trap me in, there was no escape. I would sleep for days at a time and develop bruises from the demons haunting my nightmares.
Hailey xoxo

Dear Hailey,
I wish you would've told me sooner. I could've tried to protect you from falling asleep for too long.
The nightmares, I already knew about. Remember that one time you called me at 1 a.m.? I don't expect you to, you slapped your phone and accidentally called me. I was up doing homework.
You were thrashing around and screaming, that's when my mom started letting you stay over and having "movie parties" with me, you were the only one that ever showed up because you were the only one ever invited.
I tried to protect you, I tried so hard.
