February 4th,

I've decided to write these for Nellie.

We may not have been the closest of sisters, but here's to you, Nel.

Dear Nellie,

The holiday break just finished.  School started again yesterday.  I know I haven't really shown an interest in boys before, but I noticed the new guy today.  His name is Liam, Liam Hayford.

He's from what used to be Chicago.  He's living with his aunt and uncle, he's an orphan, Nellie.

I haven't even talked to him... but I feel like there's a connection between us, I don't even know how.

Nellie, please, help me.  I can't fall in love with anyone, ever.  And I think I may be falling for him...

It reminds me of you too much.

I know I never told you, but I look up to you.  I'm afraid that I'll be... inspired by your actions.

Even though the world is in ruins, I know it's still worth living.

Love you, 

Kaliah.
