Dear Dallas,

We turned nineteen today. Well, I turned nineteen today. It's been 2 years since I've written to you. The doctors all said it would be better if I didn't have a constant reminder of you, and I guess I understand why they said that. 

I am currently going to Santa Cruz, University of California. I managed to get a $10,000 scholarship, and I was able to take out enough loans to afford it. Plus, since I am a resident of California, it was cheaper for me to go here. 

Calum takes classes online, I forget what he told me. But some fancy college or some shit.

Luke goes to Stanford University, because he's a smart little shit. He had applied to Santa Cruz, but when he found out that he made it into Stanford, he gladly accepted it, for obvious reasons. 

Rachel has gotten better. We're not as close now, because we both had to deal with some medical issues of our own. I'm still extremely thankful that her family had taken me in.

I'm double majoring. Journalism and Creative Writing. 

Calum read some of my writing, and he told me that he thinks that I can really go somewhere with it. He's (proud?) supportive of me. I couldn't have asked for a better boyfriend.

Calum and I moved in together five months after I got out of the rehabilitation center.

My life is slowly falling into place, and all I can really say is thank you. Thank you, Dallas. You've helped me understand a lot more in life than I thought I ever could. 

I miss you. 

This is goodbye,

Jasey Crawford
