Chapter 2:

'January 22, 2017

Dear Eli,

This is the second letter I send to you. I guess it would actually be the first. I never sent the first letter that I wrote almost two months ago. I just couldn't. I had it all sealed with your name and address on it. It was ready to be sent out but the problem was that I couldn't send it to you. I hope writing this letter to you will allow me to send both letters to you sometime soon. Honestly though, that's not why I write to you again. It was because of what happened today.

Today, I was with Adam when you called him. I might have overheard something I wasn't suppose to hear. You obviously knew that. I don't regret what I said. I really don't but I did have things left unsaid. Why did you still think about me if you had a girlfriend I was never told about? I'm filled with questions that you have made me wonder.

I will never understand myself. I fell for a guy who only knew how to hurt me. I knew better than this. I guess you have this charm that makes any girl fall in love with you. Although, I hate how you used it on me. You ruined my life after our breakup. I'm not happy with anyone else. I always tend to miss you. My whole world has turned upside down. That doesn't matter though. I'll show everyone that I don't need you because I don't. You won't ruin everything for me anymore. I will move on no matter what. I'll move on, even if I don't want to.

I'm still confused on why you didn't tell me about your engagement. I would have much rather have you tell me than happen to accidently hear it on your phone call with Adam. If you thought I'd talk you out of it, I wouldn't. This is your choice. I would have accepted it, if that's what you wanted. If you wanted to back out of this, I wouldn't let you, unless you asked me to let you. I would never reject the opportunity to have you back in my arms. This might be something I regret later but its worth taking a chance.

Sincerely,

Clare Edwards
