I sat down on the couch with Maxie. In my lap was Zack's letter. I opened it, neatly, and saw one paper with a character he created. It was a teddy bear with a knife in its hand like the one he got me years ago. He named it Yuo and it was a nice bear but angry when someone fucked with it. I noticed how his drawings got better within the two months he's been gone.
I set the drawing aside and grabbed the letter.
Hey Baka. I hope you like my drawing. William wanted me to add an eye patch but Yuo is supposed to be nice looking. I got inspired by him with your bunny, Inkky right? They'll be great buddies. I'm glad things are going well at home. Any new movies seem interesting? I'll watch them with you when I get back. Also it's been okay here. Not as comfortable at home but what do you expect. No action has happened yet, just a lot of training and moving. Everyone is here except Joel and Nico. Joel didn't pass the test and Nico was too tiny to carry anything so he's still at home. You and Karla should go check on both of them. Ashton is all angry because he can't be at home and Erick is keeping to himself like always. Right now it's all reminding me of Forrest Gump. Maybe I'll become a ping pong pro... lol

I giggled and folded the letter back up. I took a notebook beside me and started writing.
Hey-o Zackie. I am currently working on a painting I think you might like. I'm also making everyone one. Today I think I might call Karla up and hang out with her, Nico, and Joel. It'll be fun. There aren't a lot of movies out right now, makes sense. And if one does come out, it's not interesting at all, they're all about war and I am like .... c'mon... really? It's whatever. If you do get to become a ping pong pro, I guess you'll have to quit baseball. Speaking of baseball, do you get to play it during any of your free time? Some women in the stores come up to me and say how much they "ship" us. Thank god the press hasn't came after me, but Karla told me that one of her friends is a writer and they're looking for people to interview in a story. A whole story about women of famous men and what it feels like to have them gone like "normal" people. It disgusts me. We are normal people. Thank god she has no clue that Karla is friends with us, but I am sure that they'll figure it out if they look far back in Ashton's parties, or William's business parties, or even your celebrations. It is all really stressful and my dreams haven't been helping either, like always. Anyways... I think I am going to cook some spaghetti for everybody. When you get back home, along with the boys, I'll cook you boys a lot of good food. Not your canned whatever they give you. Do they give you spam? Nasty...
~ I love you, Jessie <3
I folded up the letter and cased it into an envelope along with my drawing of Inkky and Yuo. I closed it tight and set it in my purse. I walked up stairs and turned on the hot water. Zack had a lot of money saved up and the baseball team told me they'll take care of me for at least 6 months. I took it, because who knows what kind of help I'll need. But I also work for a space observatory with NASA. I am glad I got up to my dream job, it makes me happy.
I finished my shower and got dressed to go to work. I went downstairs to grab myself a granola bar and I went on my way with my purse.
Before I arrive at work, I drop my letter off at the post office and get back in my car. There are always a lot of women dropping letters off. Whether it's for their son, husband, boyfriend, or fiance.
I arrived at work and mainly did math throughout the day. Calculating trajectories and other scientific bullshit. It's not bullshit, but still. Then came my favorite part of my day. And that was the time I got to spend inside of the observatory. Just look at the stars, watch the asteroids aiming for Jupiter, watching our space station out in orbit.
