Amelia Hallick (known as Mel) and Nicholas Cruz (known as Nick) were best friends since they were 11. When they were 15, Nick went away with his family to Florida for a couple of weeks. Mel jokingly told him to write a letter, and he did. That's how it started. They wrote letters back and forth, shoving them in each others' lockers. Then, they fell in love. The letters became more regular by this time. It wasn't a joke between friends anymore, it was an old tradition between lovers. Then, they fell apart. All Amelia had to cling on to were her letters from Nick, and a few letters she wrote after that never made it to his locker. Every other memory was exactly that, a memory. As the days went on, Amelia started slipping. She felt alone. She only had one person who would understand. She only had one person that knew her better than the rest. She only wanted to talk to that one person. But he didn't want to talk to her (or so she thought) So she clung to her letters. She dug them out of her closet, put them in a book, and read them whenever she felt lonely. The words of those letters made her feel a little more... loved. She clung to her letters and her memories. Until she let go. Now all that's left to tell the story, is the letters. In the book she put together. **book #1 of an independent trilogy** book #1: Sincerely Yours book #2: Love, Amelia book #3: Before We Fell Apart
