“NO, NO, NO, NO! HOW! I WAS DOING SO WELL!”

“I dunno bro. I’m just that boss at Mario Kart.” I smirked. We had been playing for the past three hours, and AShton had been watching us on the couch. I had just beaten Calum.

“Hey? Did you two idiots hear? There’s a new letter from Lyra.”

“Really! Let’s hear it then!” Calum jumped up, eager to forget his loss. Sorry buddy, but I’m not letting you live it down.

We all gathered around Michael and he began to read the letter (In a horrible American Accent, if I may add).

Dear Luke,

        I’m glad everyone liked the pictures. I could have done even better, but I was short on time. Ashton mentioned in his letter, that we could maybe meet the next time you guys are on tour in America, which is in just a couple months, right? Well, I don’t know when or if you guys have any breaks, but the only time you’d be able to meet us and spend time with us before summer would probably be during our Spring Break. I’m not sure when exactly that is off the top of my head, but it’s not until March or April, and right now it’s only the start of January. We’ll be able to figure it out, right?

Also, Michael asked about Roxie’s attire in her photo, and these were her exact words after she heard the question, and I quote:

“Well Mr. Clifford, you see, I don’t get cold easily. I could spend hours in the snow before needing a jacket. That is why I don’t look cold in the picture. Because I wasn’t.”

So I hope that your curiosity has been stimulated. As for recent event, Ella’s been fangirling about One Direction even more than usual lately, and she’s starting to remind me of one of our cliché popular girls. It’s weird. Also, she seems to have lost interest in this letter exchange we do,and it’s so unlike her. Usually, she’d jump at any chance to connect with any famous person in any way. It’s odd.

As for happenings with Roxie, well, she got her christmas wish: We got snow. Before Christmas. We were so loud, I can’t even tell you how many times her family told us to shut up. Rox has been nothing but her usual, people disliking, prank planning, rebellious, supportive self through this whole process, and I could tell you how grateful I am to have her as a friend.

And you. At this point, you know even more about my life, and all my secrets than Roxie and Ella put together, and that’s saying something, because when Roxie puts her mind to something, there’s no stopping her. Thank you for always being there for me, and I hope your doing well.

As for me, well, parents will be parents. My father has taken to checking my phone at night for some reason, and Mother has stopped making food for me, Thank god no one uses the old fridge in the garage anymore. It’s been my way of eating for a while now. The abuse hasn’t stopped, but I’m almost 18, and soon, I will be out of here. Marie and I haven’t really had any kind of communication for a while, and I’m planning on reaching out to her, to see if I can make her a friend. I hope I can get on good terms with her before I turn 18, because she’s coming with me no matter what.

Lastly, Roxie and I came up with a solution for the letter writing thing. Instead of sending the letter to my house, you’ll adrees it to me, but send it to Roxie’s house. When she gets the letters, she’ll either give them to me at school, or we’ll meet up at somewhere like Dunkin’ Doughnuts and read it together there. Her father knows about this, and is completely fine with it (though I’m 900% sure he was confused as to why you couldn’t just send it to my house, he thankfully didn’t press the situation). Also,this way my parents will never find out, and Marie will never get suspicious. The address is 327 Willow Tree Lane, Farragut TN, 37934*

I don’t really have anything else to say, so I’m going to end it here.

Hope to hear from you soon!

“Huh. Well, that answers a lot.” I mumbled.

“HOW DOES SHE NOT GET COLD?!?! That is insane! Shorts and a sleeveless tee, barefoot, climbed a tree, in the snow, and she’s not cold! How is that even possible?” Mikey burst out at the same time.

“I don’t know man. Maybe she’s magical or something.” I smiled at him “Anyway, I’m going to ask for the exact dates of their spring break in this letter, because I think we have a small break something in April, and if their Spring Break corresponds, maybe we can meet them then!”

“Yeah, that’s a good idea, but don’t get their hopes up yet. Let’s make sure the dates match before you ask about visiting. Just seem mildly interested.”Calum said.

“How? It’s a letter? Also, if the dates do match up, I’m going to invite Nora, because I’m 900% sure, as Lyra said, that the only person who wants to meet them more than Nora is Luke. Plus, she’s kill me if I didn’t at least invite her. Is that okay with all of you guys?”

“Yep.”

“Yeah.”

“Go ahead man.”

“Also, I need to write down Roxie’s address, because I’m sending my letters there now so we don’t get caught. I can’t believe how much Lyra cares for her sister after everything they’ve put each other through. It really is amazing, you know?” I said as I searched for a pen and paper. I found one and wrote down the address then made a list of things to include in my next letter.

“Yeah. It really is amazing. She must be magical too, to still care that much, even though she’s almost never had a good encounter with her sister. Honestly. Amazing.” Michael agreed.

“So,” Calum ginned. “Who wants to play Mario Kart while Luke writes his letter?”

*This address is made up, there is no Willow Tree Lane in Farragut Tennessee, however there is one in Morristown. I don’t know if there is a 327 Willow Tree Lane though, and honestly kind of doubt it. Please don’t send anything to this address.

A/N: I know I promised one of you that I would update yesterday, and I was working really hard Friday night, and was all excited cause I thought I might be able to update on Friday, then I realized that I had been working on Chapter 15, andnot this, and got really disappointed, and didn’t write anything yesterday. But Chapter 15 is almost done, and as an I’m Sorry, I will be updating again, really, really soon!
