I See You

The Letter

Is it weird that I'm getting Harry Potter vibes just from the name of the is chapter??

It's been a while since Jacob's sudden disappearance. I'm kinda concerned. I can't really talk to his parents cause I know they barely even have a relationship. But they did tell me that he ran away cause the trip with his dad was "too much" and ran away.

What a stupid excuse. I'll never know why he left, he didn't even tell me anything. I knew that he went on that trip from his dad when we went back. Talk about being best friends... But for some reason before all that happened and before grandpa Abe died, he told me that Jacob will send me a letter. I was so confused at the time.

Now that letter is my only hope to actually talking to him. But I'm starting to give up. Give up on the letter, on our friendship, and on him.

And right that moment something magical happened!

Well receiving letters isn't exactly magical. It's more like,  "Oh, I have a letter... Does anyone even send letters??? Like besides the bank to remind us to pay our bills and all that jazz. "

But to me it was magical because when I saw the name of the person who sent it. "Jacob Portman"

I was reluctant to open it because I kinda felt betrayal. I don't know why. But maybe it's because he just upped and left me without a single word.

I still opened it though. And the letter went like this;
" Dear Catie,

                      I'm sorry and I have been a complete and utter douchebag. I'm sorry I left you and I wanted to let you know that I'm going to visit. So meet me in the woods that us conveniently behind your house at the time I know you can sneak out of your house undetected. I will tell you everything. Why I left, why I didn't tell you and all that bullshit.  I know you probably won't go there but I will wait my ass off until you come here to the place where we used to hang out -behind your house, in the woods where nothing bad could possible happen like maybe kidnap. So you should come.

                             Love Your Douche of a Friend,
                                   Jacob Fucking Portman

OK, he might not have written that exactly but that's how I saw it. I might have been longer actually... But I read in between the lines and got the message.

I'm still gonna go to our little hangout. To let you know, it a pretty meadow that we discovered when we walk through the woods behind my house.

And I'm going because I need to know the answers to all of my questions. I'm gonna freaking interrogate him until I am satisfied.

Would I even recognize him? And by this I mean know him by his clothes. You see most people know others by face but since I know that you know my current situation makes that impossible for me to do. I recognize people by their voices and the way they dress. And you know those people who constantly change their sense of style because why not. They are so annoying because I keep forgetting that they randomly change styles and I have to keep track of the styles that they have.

Thinking about it, that kinda useless since everyone thinks I'm blind. Well everyone except Jacob and grandpa Abe. Jacob knows because I told him about it. Took a while of convincing but  glad he knows. I don't know how granddad found out though, it will always be a mystery to me.
