Liberty and Toby were cleaning out JT's locker when they came across the letter. The envelope said it was for Liberty so she opened it. Inside was a letter in JT's sloppy handwriting.
Liberty,
I've kept hoping I would have the guts to give this to you. I want you to know that it's you, it's always been you! Mia means nothing to me. Libs, I love you so much it hurts me. I know that I've made mistakes in the past. I'm sorry for everything. I'm sorry I sold drugs, I'm sorry I dated Mia, but most importantly I'm sorry I avoided going out with you for so long. The truth: I liked you. So much it scared me. I just keep thinking about if we kept the baby. We could have been a happy family. But I guess my drug selling got in the way of that. I wanted to have money for our baby and our future, but I approached it the totally wrong way, and I'm sorry. Just please know that you mean the world to me.
James Tiberius (JT) Yorke
Liberty folded the letter and put it in her pocket. She was crying and Toby wanted to know why.
"Must be the grief finally catching up to me," she said with a watery grin, clutching JT's letter in her hand.
