I wipes the tears away from my eyes and blew my nose as I began to read the letter, but the words kept going blurry. The letter read
" dear amber,
I have made a huge mistake. I have done so many things wrong and I hope you will forgive me. I was wrong to run away I knew I should have stayed with you.
I suppose I has better explain what happened that night. It was jut like any other night that I was out with Gemma. We went to the park and drunk cider and took drugs till we were completely out of it. I hope you understand I never wanted to do any of that but Gemma had a hold of me that I couldn't shrug off and at the time it seemed like the best thing to do. It was Gemma who said we should run away; she said it would be romantic and we could do whatever we wanted. This seemed like the best thing ever at the time but I deeply regret going now."
The letter carried on but I couldn't bear to read it right then. I decided I would read the rest tommorrow I just couldn't face it. I carefully slipped the paper back into the envelope and hi it in my drawer again. I lay face down on my bed and wept.
