Letters To My Soldier Boy Lover

Letter 16

Dear Anxious and Sorry Jonas
Okay I'm no longer confused and angry at you anymore. I've cleared my thoughts and seriously who could possibly be mad at you for long. The mystery of the erase marks will not be revealed until I feel like revealing them. Since I am the only one who knows what those erase marks said.

The suspense must be killing you.

Hey this weekend the government had enough free time to send out photos of men and women who joined the army. I'm still trying to find your name through the list in the City Hall. Even though I don't approve of the government wasting their time on making photos and sending them to the whole country I would like to see how you look. It makes me wonder how you Jonas the boy I've been writing letters for a while look like.

Do you have grey eyes?

Blonde hair?

Big mouth?

Big forehead?

Round face?

I could go on and on but that would bore you to death certainly. I've been rummaging through all the pictures and still haven't found yours. Good thing not a lot of people go looking at pictures. That would have made it much harder.

                                     From Scavenger Ava

These past two weeks after thinking and thinking about why I was so mad at Jonas made me come to a conclusion.

I liked him. A lot in order to be jealous over him through letters. I'm quite petty aren't I?

I figured that out as I kept rereading the letters he had sent to me and felt my heart fluttered every time. As well it brought me emotions that made me feel...more alive. Yes sounds cringe and all but it's true.

You can judge me for falling in love in just eight weeks. Or you can technically say eight days.

So what I've been working out is trying to get rid of my feelings for him by telling myself that it'll never work out. We're only writing letters and though his letters may  have a effect on me, it might not be the same for him.

I've also established that it he's going into war soon and will probably not purposely come and see me.

"Molly! Your fourteen right?"

Molly stopped in front of my door before placing her hands on her hips.

"What am I then? Seventeen?"

"Just answer the question!" I said.

"Yes why?"

"At your age you tend to you know have more crushes. The useless one and some of them you try to get rid of. How do you do it?" I asked

She stared at me funny before entering my room closing the door behind her and guiding me to sit on the floor with her.

"Ok sis let's talk. What's the matter with you these days. And what's with that question?"

I rubbed my head and debated between telling her.

"If you don't tell me I'll tell parents about your secret stash of pop tarts that you keep under your bed." She threatens me.

"How-"

"Cut to the chase."

I pouted before filling her in.

She nodded her head in understanding not judging me.

"Let me give you a word of advice. You can try to stop your crush but no matter how much you try your heart will not stop liking that person. Your brain will but your heart won't. The heart does what it wants." She said wisely.

I stared at her at awe.

"What! Just because I'm younger than you doesn't mean I don't have reasoning!" She defended.

I nodded before I started to smile.

"So what been going on with you?" I nudged her.

She quickly says no before I say " I won't tell parents that you have a secret stash of wagon wheels in your closet."

She opens her mouth halfway before shutting it.

We stared at each other before we broke into a fit of laughter.

Do you like the sister relationship between them?
