13 Reasons Why I Should Have Stayed (But The Reason I Didn't)

Dear Jac,

Today marks 13 days (exactly 1 week and 6 days) since you slipped in to this damn coma, and I promise you that there hasn't been a single day where I haven't visited you. There hasn't been a day that's passed where I haven't held your hand in mine and prayed that you'd be awake soon.

But, Jac, i'm losing hope. I have started to question whether being in this state for so long is something that you'd really want but I don't want to be the one to make that choice. So in the diary that this note is sat on top of, there are 13 reasons (one for each day) as to why I should have kept hope and stayed, then when you reach the end you'll find why I didn't.

I don't know how long after I left it'll be when you read this, but no matter how much time has passed i'll still be so sorry for the cowardly actions I have shown.

Love always,

Fletch.

Jac wiped the tears she was previously oblivious to from her face and pushed his letter to one side, seeing a plain black diary underneath. She took a deep breath, counted to 10, and flicked over to the first page.
