When Kristen texted me both their addresses I stamped them and put them both in the mailbox to be picked up by the mailman before going back inside and to the office to write another one. Sitting down I bit my lip as I thought about all of my ex's.

I hope i wasn't making mistake by actually sending the letters out to them, even though i'm really sure they wont read them and if they do they wont have the time to actually respond to them so why was i so worried?

I sighed and sat down at my desk and opened the notebook. Turning the music up on loud and began to start to write.


"Dear Brandon James,

Hey it's me, Willa Jackson, I'm not sure you'll remember me but we dated senior year in Jefferson High School. I'm not writing you because I see you on television everyday I just wanted to put that out there in case it crossed your mind as you read-if you read it- The purpose of this letter is well more to help me than it is to help you but I've had my heart broken(again) by my boyfriend of two years and Kristen suggested that I write to everyone I've ever dated for some kind of closure because apparently it helps.

I don't really know why I'm writing you because we barely dated(if we can call it that) but I do consider you an ex even though ours never really jumped off like I would have liked, but good thing it didn't because your rich and famous and even more handsome than in high school and I probably would have held you back with all of my baggage. You were such a sweet kind Gentlemen (I hope you still are), I always enjoyed myself when I was around you even when we weren't together.

You succeeded in becoming a actor just like I knew you would, Now I'm just waiting for you to find a Gorgeous intelligent woman to stand beside you. Maybe you can get with Rihanna I think you two would make a amazing couple. Anyways I'm off topic, I don't really have much to say about you because well we only lasted a month and I don't think I need to explain how I felt the whole duration of that short lived relationship, except that I miss it sometimes. You always helped me forget what was happening at home with my parents fighting and eventually their divorce ALL IN THE SAME MONTH. I remember when they told us- me and my sister- that they were divorcing, my heart broke and I lost all faith in a loving relationship, but I ran to you and you showed me in multiple ways(wink wink) that not all relationships have to end as badly as my parents.

That night I realized I was in love, I was in love with you and quite honestly Brandon I still love you, I don't think my love for you ever ended, I think if you never moved away we would have made it to the end of the school and maybe even with to the same college to continue our relationship, but maybe I'm just wishful thinking. It's crazy though because when you left I didn't feel whole anymore, even though I kept the smile on my face and laughed whenever Kristen said a joke because I didn't want to worry her, and if I did I knew she'd find a way to contact you because I deleted your number out of my phone and made her delete it out of hers because I was angry and upset and hurt that you had to leave. I'm sorry for that Brandon I really am I should have never completely cut you off like I did, it was stupid but I loved you and I couldn't bare the thought of you going to New Mexico and finding another girl and falling in love with her like you did with me.

I couldn't bare the thought of you eventually telling me all about her and how happy you were with her and how she was everything I simply was not. I know you can probably call that childish and insecure, but I was Childish and insecure then, I can admit that now. Now I wish I kept in contact with you just so we could have remained some form of friends.

I'm going to cut this short because I know your a busy man and have a lot of things to do, but just know that I've always kept up with you, I would stalk your facebook and your instagram and all of that because I just-well I don't know I just missed you I guess. Congratulations on accomplishing your dream Brandon, I'm really glad you made it in this big industry. I still go and see your parents whenever I can just because I love them so much, I hope you don't mind that if they ever tell you, even though they say you don't call much(why is that? you always loved your parents, don't tell me you've forgotten all about them now that you've made it big. Now I'm scared you wont read this because it'll have my name on the envelope, I'd understand if you don't though). Okay I'm going to stop writing now.

Love

Willa,

P.S.

I love you Brandon James Always have, Always Will.
