vanessa woke up to the sound of her mom calling her name. "vanessa ! vanessa come down here !" she slowly got up from her bed then walked down stairs to see what her mom wanted.

"ness, there's some mail for you. it's from someone named dylan! ooo is he that one boy you're always talking about? ;)" vanessa couldn't belive what she heard. dylan fucking kingwell READ HER LETTER.

she doesn't know if she should feel embarrassed or happy but she definitely knew she was excited to open what he had to say. "okay mom thanks for telling me! i'm gonna go to my room now."

vansssa practically sprinted upstairs she almost skipped a step and tripped. wow what a way to start her morning she thought. once she was mentally ready to open the letter she went to her desk then carefully ripped the top open.

she slid the letter out of the plain envelope and unfolded the paper. vanessa took a deep breath before reading the first few words. "dear vanessa bowen..."

after she read the letter she searched for her phone and called her best friend, excited to tell her the news. as soon as lilia picked up she didn't hesitate and immediately spoke, "you'll never guess what the hell happened to me! dylan replied to my letter!!" vanessa said enthusiastically.

lilia couldn't belive what she had just heard! this was all way too cliche so it's just like a dream come true for vanessa. "holy shit really? no way what did he say?!" she was curious as to what the brown eyed boy said to his creepy-stalker fan.

"he said he thought my letter was funny and cute! and no one has ever written him a love letter before!" as vanessa said it out loud she couldn't belive it. everything about this has been surreal.

the two girls were plotting on how they should reply to dylan's letter. should they even send a letter back? vanessa really wants to become friends with him but obviously that won't ever happen. the universe has never been on her side though so she doesn't know why it's helping her with dylan.

(vanessa's pov)

dad and i were in the car listening to the beatles, just singing at the top of our lungs, enjoying eachothers presence. my dad and i don't have much alone time to bond so this was a special moment. everything was fine, incredible actually but then it wasn't.

the next incident that happened to me changed 10 year old vanessa's life forever. i loved my dad more than life itself. i don't have many friends and back then my best friend was my father. he was always there for me no matter what.

in an instant the car was swerving and a crash then all i remembered was waking up to my unconscious dad. bloom was everywhere in the car and the criminal who crashed into us was nowhere to be found.

i didn't know what to do my mind went blank. my tears and the blood combining on my face and my hands trembling. i tried to stop he bleeding by placing my hands on his chest and placed pressure. at the same time she grabbed her phone and dialed 911.

"911 what's your emergency?"
"h-hello? hi my uh m-my father and i-i were in an aaccident-t-"
"okay where is your location?"
"on the 91 west freeway"
"okay hang on tight sweetie the police are on their way."
"o-okay th-thank you"
i said between sobs.

i watched my father bleed to death before the police came and the only thing that was helping him stay alive was my hand. i can't even comprehend what was happening right now. quietly she heard her dad spoke

"ness, you already know he outcome of what's going to happen. you're a smart girl so i don't have to tell you but i love you so much. you're the light of my life and just remember i'll always be watching over you. stay my little girl and never change, especially for a boy. thank you for being the best daughter ever. this is not a goodbye! just a see you later okay? i love you baby."

why does the universe hate me?

whisper words of wisdom, let it be ...

(back to real life)

vanessa had a brilliant idea to become "friends" with dylan. she'll just send him letters ! back and forth they can communicate. so a level of trust is built and he knows she doesn't want his clout. "lilia, what is it called when two people become friends because of sending each other letters?"

"pen pals! ... wait are you thinking of doing that with dylan?" lilia asked. "maybe hehe" "of course you are"
"okay i'm gonna work on my next letter bye i love you !" vanessa hung up then got another
sheet of card stock paper and a red pen this time.

dear dylan,
hi ! i'm still shocked you actually got this letter. i'm so sorry you had to read that hahah. it's super embarrassing and cringe but i'm glad it made you laugh. i mean what i said is true, i really like you. i was hoping you and i could be pen pals... as stupid as that sounds i think it'd be cool! you could learn about me and i could learn about you :) well i do know more about you but it'd be a fun experience! don't you think? uhh here i'll start. i can sing and i model too. your turn !
love, vanessa bowen <3

once again she sealed the envelope then went to the mailbox to deliver the letter, gave it a quick peck for good luck then slid it into the mailbox. "i hope he accepts my request" she thought.
