{Chapter One}
It has been five years and they never returned that letter...
"Dear Mom and Dad,
It's me, Micheal! Our neighbor told us... Well, me that you two have taken a trip to Hawaii! I don't know why you haven't told me, but I can't get upset because you probably forgot!"
Have fun!,
-Micheal
(p.s., make sure you bring me something!)

"Hello mom and dad,
You missed my 15th birthday... I thought you would at least Skype or.. something. Officer Moore knows about your trip, too and stopped by to make sure I was okay, although he looked like he was doing it out of spite and didn't really care. Anyways, the neighbor stopped by and wished me a happy birthday before tossing a small package to me. The wrapping was... Well. Not the most exciting looking wrapping paper in the world but what was inside the package definitely made up for it. It was a butterfly knife!
Oh, and by the way.. I should let you know that Gabriel is staying over now. What a friend!"
Love you,
-Micheal

"Hi,
Okay, so I get that you're super busy with work and what not but seriously.. you have been gone for three years now! THREE. I mean.. who in the hell does that? Why haven't you been writing me back?! I really do hope that you haven't left me or anything and that work is just holding you up. I talked to Officer Moore about it and, again.. his attitude didn't change. He doesn't fucking care! He's an officer for Christ's sake! He needed to do his job!
I swear to God, if this is some kind of plan...
Gabriel. My best friend. He's starting to become scared of me because to him, none of this is making sense. He called me crazy! I don't know who to trust anymore..."

"I got kicked out of school today. I can't tell you exactly what happened but just know this..
He hasn't gone to waste and right now, someone is enjoying him for their lunch."

"Mother, Father...
I don't know what to do anymore. I can't hold a job and yesterday was about the 50th time Gabriel has had to pin me to my own bed... He says it's because I'm starting to always put myself in "Danger", even though I can never pin-point what exactly happened. It's like I black out and when I come to, he's there and he's screaming in my face, telling me to stop but.. I never know what he wants me to stop.
Anyways, uh.. Gabriel left. He told me I was too overwhelming. Too much to take care of. He said that I should get my head screwed on straight...
I doubt he'll be coming back.
I don't know why I keep fucking things up like this.
I really do wish you would just come back."
