Vinnie receives a box in the mail, he sits down on his chair and opened the box he finds an envelope and a letter on top of a light pink hoodie. First, he opened up the envelope and read the letter hoping he would know who it was from, his heart aches a little from the first sentence of the letter.

To Vincent,

Hello Vincent, this is Willow or as you prefer to call me Mrs S.
I have been battling with breast cancer for awhile now and it was about time I left, I never expected my daughter to leave before me but this is about you. Vincent, I just like to thank you for the care you've given my daughter, Mai has suffered from several suicide attempts and has been to therapy but nothing we do can help her.
She always felt like god had different plans for her and I guess she was right and before she was taken away from this cruel world god allowed her to be happy, you came into her life. I don't really believe in god and whatsoever but I believe that everything happens for a reason. Thank you for loving my daughter for the way she is, i'm so sorry for the amount of pain she has caused you. Thank you for loving her at the end of the day and for protecting her with everything you have, it means a lot.

In this box is a pink hoodie that Mai stole from you, she wore it a lot and I thought you would like to have it back. Mai loved stealing your things and she definitely loved calling herself ' mrs hacker' that she even told her friends that you were her husband, she couldn't wait to get married.

Now, before I tell you this I know that you'll be angry and you'll feel betrayed and I know it was selfish of us to keep this secret from you. Vincent, Mai overdosed and that was how she passed.

I am so sorry for lying to you after everything you've done for me and my daughter. It was not Mai who asked me to cover up for her but me, I couldn't bare seeing you get even more hurt than you were.

From : Willow/ Mrs S

Vinnie wasn't angry but confused, he didn't know why she had to lie about it but he shrugged it off and picked up the hoodie, " and it smells just like you" he smiled for the first time in awhile.

He had honestly gotten so much better than before. It was years since his girlfriend and her mother's passing but Vinnie still goes to their graves and pay his respects, Kio and Jordan go along too. Vinnie still has the picture of them beside his bed but he changed the picture every month and he sometimes reads the diary but he mainly keeps it in the drawer by his table. Although it has been years, Vinnie wasn't sure if he was ready for another relationship and he wasn't sure if he was completely moved on from her. He felt like there was still a piece of Mai Scott in his heart and of course, there always will. Mai was his whole world and he didn't only love her because of who she was but because Mai knew the real Vincent Hacker, she helped him through his rough time, she checked up on his mental health and always made sure he ate or made sure he was okay. She made him feel special and actually made him feel like he was worth it or like he was something worth caring about.

Then his phone rang, he grabbed it off the table and the notification brought a smile to his face.

2nd FEBRUARY 2016

" okay lets send emails to each other and read it in the future!" Mai suggested as she fiddles around her pencil, Vinnie nods " okay and what if we're not friends anymore ?" he asked with doubt in his tone but the confident Mai reassured " then its okay, no matter what happens we'll just read it and see how far we've come. okay how about this, you write me an email and I write you an email and then we'll set it to a scheduled email on the 2nd of february 2023." She smiles at Vincent who gave her a look like she was crazy " okay fine" he agreed anyways.

He opened the email from the ' past'  Mai and taking a sip of water before he read through the long email and preparing himself  a box of tissues just incase he teared up.

( a/n : to clear up the confusion, the bold and italic will be Vinnie ' answering' her questions or just talking to himself/ Mai)

Dear Vincent,

Today is the 2nd of February 2016 and when you're reading this it should be 2nd of February 2023? and we would be 21 by now right ? my math sucks but you know what I don't suck at ? writing emails or letters, yay !

Okay first off, how are you ? i'm coping well. what are you doing ? reading this email. Okay well, are we still friends? yeah of course. are we married ? we are. well we were supposed to.
do you still think about me ? everyday. Do you miss me ? every minute. Did you become a professional player ? no sorry.

Vinegar, I hope by the time you're reading this that we are still the best of friends or even married or something and well the truth is, I always thought you were very good looking but I'm not going to admit that and boost your ego. If I don't get married to you then at least I hope you'll attend mine and I'll think about attending your wedding.. we can be in a love triangle? I don't mind.

I swear I am not obsessed with you but you know, I noticed that you don't like showing people the real you, the soft side of you and for what ? I dont know why you're acting all tough when you aren't, Vineyard. But I hope you know that this is your safe place ( me i'm the safe place ) & you can always pour your heart and soul out here ! i'm all ears and always will.

And eventually one day, I hope that I'll be able to tell you every single thing about me and hopefully you don't run off like everyone else. I know you won't judge me but i'm not willing to take the risk and lose a friend like you, you mean too much to me Vincent. You actually make me feel safe around you which is kind of scary but I like it, you make me feel some kind of warmth when i'm around you.

Thank you for being a creep ! I love you so SO much Vincent Van Gogh <3 love me back maybe ? i love you darling, always.
