letter exchange 4
dear zach,
i will always come to you, youre my life saver. im glad we are talking again too. my first three months here were horrid. everybody always stared at me and pointed fingers.
is it possible to feel so out of place in a place where you were assured to fit in?
im getting better, i think. i went to the doctors with judy and my advisor, lora, yesterday. it says i gained a pound. im happy.
to answer your question: we go on field trips twice a week with everybody in our living area - about 8 or so girls total. when i see one of those blue mail things i slip it in. a girl name carla asked what i was doing once, i just lied and said it was to my parents. really it was to you.

dear lindsey,
how do you receive my letters?
im happy for you, about you finally gaining weight. i know this school is horrid and a rough thing to have to go through. stay strong, love.
im so sorry about you not feeling like you belong. its just for a 9 more months. youll soon be in the place you do belong, in my arms.
i ran into your parents at the grocery store yesterday. i overheard their conversation briefly. it sounds like they miss you a lot. i know, you despise them because they sent you away. im just going to try and help you understand that what they did was for you. when we were all sitting at the hospital with you out-cold, they looked like they were going to faint.
miss you with lots of love. -zach
