Basement.New York 2015

-mom , is this box yours?-asked a blonde freckled girl about age 12 holding an old box with a name painted in blue marker "memories 1990".

-let me see-  said the oldest , curious and confused to know what was inside the box .the girl handed her the box and stood behind her  while she opened the box.

-what is it -said looking more closely

-um-she looked inside , there were a lot of pictures , cards ,a tutu and dust too -i don't really know  honey ...maybe something from when i was a teen ?

- oh  -she nodded- well ....-before she could say something a really high pitched voice called her name .her sister.

pov:as emma headed upstairs i kept on looking through the stuff in the box , the boy in the pictures looked familiar .there where lots of stuff there that looked familiar ,but , there was on thing that cought my eye .....a letter .....but from whom .as i opened it i got this chills in my arms , maybe because i was nervous .

The Letter:

"Dear April,

Its been a long time since last time we've seen each other . To be exact , its been 26 years .I remember you very well , you used to wear  tight ripped jeans and loose shirts tht always has weird words printed on them or exotic faces painted,you alo wore a black beanie.I always thought it made you look adorable .You may be wondering how my life has been since i left Derry , well is as horrifying  but not too bad.Havent heard from the losers ,but , i bet they're living the life of their dreams while im stuck here married to a woman that i dont know if i love and didn't become a doctor as you made me promised,but at least im not being chased by a f*cking clown again.Back then you were the only one that understood me when my friends couldn't ,you made me believe in myself  when i thought everything was over,you were a good friend and i wished we've been more .......there i said it .Lets talk about you ,how has your life been .....are you married , do you have kids , do you still skate .....sorry sorry too many questions , you know im not good with letters . miss you 

                                                                        With Love,

                                                                     Eddie Kasprak

                                                      (or how you used to call me )

                                                         The boy who danced ballet "

-Eddie Kasprak ...-  I mumbled -eddie!!!

i looked deeper into the old box and took out a picture , a fun picture of eddie dancing with a tutu , i smirked to myself . As i looked more and more onto the thing ...it brought me back to that that summer ......summer of 1990
