Two days after It happened:

Hey Tates,

By the time you read this you'll probably hate my guts. I'm saying this because I know you. The Tate I know isn't grieving right now, she's probably cursing my name, thinking I'm a coward. And I am. I took the easy way out, and I'm really sorry that this was it. I'm sorry I didn't give you some warning or a note or something, but I had to. Because if you had known you would have tried to get me to stay. And I would have, but with a miserable life.

You're probably getting angrier, reading this and I promise I get that. You never complained, but I knew mom and dad never paid enough attention. Maybe it would have made more sense if you had done this instead of me. But in the end, it was me being the weak one.  I let them win, and you already knew why. I'm not going to mention my reasons again in the letter for fear of someone hacking your email and getting this, but if you remember Cash's party you'll remember what I'm talking about. I had a perfect life, but one thing messed it all up. I couldn't do that to him.I couldn't choose: to tell him or not. So I left you to make that decision. I'm sorry for that more than anything. 

Be who they need you to be Tate, be who you need to be to fix our parents and Jack again. 

With love and sincere apologies,

Cara
