Stronger Feelings

Chapter 11

Day 4:

Dear Louis,

Where are you? I miss you so much. I don't know what else to say. I remember when you first called me telling me you and the band were going on your first tour. I was so happy for you. I still am as happy for you now than when I was when you first called. I was looking through all of our pictures together and I came across our homecoming pictures. You were so sweet to me that night. I loved the beautiful flowers you bought me for that night, and the dinner you bought me. That night was perfect for me, and I know it was for you, too. I've come to realize that I really can't live without you. I've been really lonely and solitary lately. I want you back.

After weeks of sending out heartfelt and meaningful letters to Louis, I receive a letter in the mail. I open it and notice it's from Louis. I decide not to read it for a while now. I'm going to give it a few days before I actually decide to open and read it. I don't want it to be a letter saying "leave me alone" but I know he'd never do that. He's too thoughtful of others.

So without opening it, I get out our momento box and place the letter in the box. Our momento box had every special thing we ever had growing up together. Everything from the corsage when we went to homecoming, pictures of us, birthday cards and even friendship bracelets. I figured that letters could go well in a momento box, so why not put it in there?

After a few days pass, I get more and more letters back from Louis. All I do is place them in the momento box until I'm ready to read them. Until today, I figure since I keep receiving letters from Louis, I should open at least the first one I received a few days back.
