The Serendipitous Letters.

Prologue

*Prologue*

Riley carefully removed Jake's letter from her purse and ran her fingers through the ink, analysing it and envisaging him writing it. For what felt like the hundredth time that day, she started reading it.

Dear Lee.

"She's going away, he's running after her, begging her to stop and eventually she does after a lot of melodrama and then they kiss, living happily ever after. The End.

This is what we've seen when growing up. This is what we've believed in all our life, but I recently learned that in reality life isn't always happy towards the end, it has its complications and sometimes we have to have the patience to endure, to wait, if we want something that isn't so easily going to be given. And that's my theory for us, i mean this isn't the end, it can't be the end! Our story is yet to be written, the pages are to be filled cause this isn't the ending any movie or book would have.  

I know what you might be thinking, that I'm not being being practical, living in this imaginary little world filled with fairies and witches where witches always lose, but, love, we're just 14, we have our whole life ahead of us and we'll figure out a way to work this out, we always do.  

We went through a lot of hardships, from the sneaking at nights to the secret eloping's, so how hard can this be? It's not like you've shifted to another planet, we'll meet someday if fate wants us to... And my instincts tell me that it does. You know what the worst part is? I can still feel your presence around me, like the sun peeking through my window, giving me a new chance everyday, to fix things...but mostly to fix me.  

But you know what scares me the most about all of this? You and how your going to cope up, please Riley don't dehydrate yourself too much over me, cause you know I wouldn't want that. Just take a deep breath and close your eyes, looking at the world with beauty and imagine me sitting next to you, telling you it's going to be fine, these years are going to be hard but you'll get through it, I know that you will.  

Remember the first day we met? In first grade? I can bet I liked you from that moment, your stubbornness, your cuteness and gosh your eyes. I was a shy guy who blushed every time you spoke to me, I just felt that way, cause I always had a crush on you and you were always were so friendly to me, so open sharing with me all your secrets. And from then on, I knew I had found a friend, who I could confide in. But I wasn't so close to you, as you were with Sam because I knew my Dad's rules. He hated me talking to people, hated me bringing anyone home and I had to follow them so I never got that close to you, even though I wanted to.  

But as the years rolled by, I got to know you better, you were my only friend, the only one who didn't find me weird and from then I knew I loved you. I couldn't ever bring myself to tell you this of course, because I wasn't sure if you felt the same about me and I never got the chance to because of my sudden departure. I had changed, I knew after that but my feelings for you, were yet the same. I ignored you because I was hurt and felt the world around me had crumbled, but I shouldn't have, I regretted it, still do. So I expressed my regret and hurt by dating other people and pushing away my feelings for you. But it was all in vain, I knew you hated me so I was too afraid to talk to you. But I wanted to apologise, so I started teasing you, having all those fights with you just to make small talk with you, cause that's how much I longed for you. I think, for the first time, god heard my prayers and paired us together in the play. That was the start of it all, we became friends again, more than friends and that's when you started loving me, giving me the greatest gift in the whole wide world. We became so close as the days went by that we couldn't imagine a day without the other and you know at one point of life, I actually wished for you to be the mother of my future children. I just loved you too much for your own good and that's the worst part because I don't have any idea as to how I'm going to survive without you. I don't think Im ever going to get over you, cause some people just can't bring themselves to share their heart with two people. And I'm one of them, I don't think I'm ever going to stop loving you Lee even if you decide to move on, it doesn't matter to me as long as I get to see your beautiful smile which lights up my day.  

Lool. Cheesy Much?  

I hope your smiling reading this because I wouldn't want my Lee to ever cry and redden those bliss filled eyes.  

Do me a favour and live life like you've never before. Make new friends, new memories and enjoy Canada and oh and when I hear your voice again I want to hear that cute Canadian accent.  

All I want to say is I loved you, I love you and will keep loving you till my last breath. Your the most amazing girl I've ever met and I'm so glad I got the chance of giving you your first kiss.  

Thank you for giving me another chance, even though I didn't deserve it after hurting you so much.  

Love, Your Jay.  

P.S I Miss You.
