Hey everyone well

The side walk that leads to my post box is just as sizzling hot as the sun that is sizzling down on me Every step is agony, I wouldn't even be going outside if it weren't for *that*letter I've been waiting for since June

Our mail man eddy is a cute old man that think's delivering the mail is his calling

He's sweet and is good friends with my granddad, but ever since he got sick, things have changed

He's replacement approaches a devil of a guy I nod my hello as my eyes search the stack of letters in his handMy face must have looked crazy as the next thing I heard was a chuckle coming from the mail man

After a nauseating look... he gives me 4 letters,with a grunt, non of which was the one I've been expecting. I thank him and walk back to the house. It looks different in the summer sun, with the horizon and a fine line of water behind it

I let the disapointment sink in as I took in the scenery, my phone beeped bring me out of my self-pity but the message only brought about more bad news My boyfriend had been admitted into hospital I raced out the door and down the street the hospital was only 5 minutes away.

Tears stung my check and I ran blindly down the road. My lack of attention caused me to come fast first with a total stranger. He grabbed my hand and whispered in my ear are you prepared to make a deal with the devil to save your boyfriend's life, I closed my eyes and agreed this guy couldn't have been serious after all. This is my offer I'll grantee your bf health but if he ever breaks up with you then you'll have to come and live with me in hell

I didn't care to even consider the offer, I was in live with him, and never thought he and I could ever separate, so I agreed to the stranger on the street. As much as I believed it was unreal, I prayed that somehow, anyhow, that this deal was real

I entered the hospital and got his room number from reception, as I was walking to the door I heard his voice it was sharp "your sisters coming hide" I closed my eyes and shock my head as I walked in first a deal with the devil now voices I must be going crazy. I walked and he smiled lovingly erasing all doubt from my heart

I smiled, " are you alright?". His eyes were distant, something was wrong, but I didn't care, he loves me, he loves me, I chanted in my head. He replies" I'm fine, how'd you get here so fast? And how have you been, I haven't seen you in more than a month" Oh yeah I forgot, he got this new job and we couldn't meet as often. But so many questions so quickly. Nah, I'm just imagining things. He's mine, he always will be...

The doctor entered bring the good news by some miracle he had made a full recovery, thoes words scared me but yet I should be happy its just a coincidence I told myself as I took his hand in mine. The doctor left us and I noticed he kept looking the the direction of the next bed nervously, the curtains had been drawn yet the room for said that he was the only patient in this room

Is everything okay?? I say, my voice started to shake, I had a bad feeling in my stomach. Firstly I think I just made a deal with the devil. Secondly I think I just made a deal with the devil for someone who may not have been worth it. But...we're meant to be, everybody says were the best couple they know, why would things go wrong now

Curiosity got the best of me and I went over to the opposite end where the bed was I slowly drew the curtains only to reveal my own flesh and blood "it's not what it looks like" they both yelled in union

" I don't know what it looks like, and I trust you...both" I looked at their flushed faces and grinder my teeth. " why don't you explain it to me?". "Uhhh" she started. He tried to take over by saying" you see we wanted you too, uhhh...."
