These days, social media has taken away the reality of emotion. A text, a call, a picture, a comment, a like, none of those entities will ever hold within them emotion, real emotion, as the aesthetic nature of the beast does not support something so genuine, so real.
Words and letters, however they're sent, however they're received, will never be as powerful as the emotion often laced in someone's eyes as you talk to them face-to-face.
This is something that two unlikely friends realise within the form of written letters, a form of communication that is often undermined greatly in the eyes of each new generation.
However, that in itself is not what remains most important, for it is that perhaps they can discover that what is the norm is not often what is best, and one does not always have to be liked by others to love themselves.
Trigger warning for the following:
-mature content
-some strong language
-fighting
-mentions of abuse
Everything was cool. It was fine and normal until, a new family moves I'm next door. The beautiful family seemed normal enough, but something was off. Their son didn't fit into the rest of them.
He was mysterious and seemed a little bit standoffish. He seemed rude and like he didn't belong.
Meeting him went well, and she catches his eye.
Going to school together and their families spending some time together causes them to grow closer. So close that things happen.
What happens? Do sparks fly?
