Day 2 - A letter to your crush
Dear Kenny,
Hey man. I'm doing a letter writing challenge and now it's your turn. Today I have to write to my crush. Congrats, it's you.
It's been over a year since that accident. Are you doing okay? It was so hard on you...well, on everyone, but especially you. Even after I found out about you and Eric. I still can't believe you could do that to me - after everything we had. Did I mean anything to you? You called me your everything...even while you were sleeping with him. Do you know how it made me feel? I felt worthless. And then you wondered why I turned to the drugs. When I was high, I felt so much better. I felt like I was flying away from every issue. There wasn't a problem in the world, and I was...happy. All of us were. But when you found out about my issue...everything ended.
If you had just told me to stop instead of yelling at me and hurting my face...I wouldn't still be in here.
The doctors were able to use science to make new skin for the burns. They cared for little cells by feeling them and then they grew into skin. It worked really well; I don't look as deformed. When they brought the stuff it was one of the best days of my life. I looked normal, like nothing had ever happened.
When I'm sad or anything, I curl up and pretend the past isn't real. It's so much fun, to listen to Xero and pretend. Have you heard of them? They're not around anymore, they've evolved. The doctors say I'm evolving too, which is fun, since I'm like my favorite band. Except for the fact that I'm not world famous.
I heard you were sent to jail because of attempted murder. They said you were released half a year ago, which is awesome! I know you didn't try to kill me; I had it coming. I was doing so many drugs, plus with the stress from Eric, you couldn't hold back. You were angry. You did get it out of your system, though. And from what I've heard, you're now okay. It makes me smile.
I'm on page 48 of the book I'm writing. It's mainly to keep myself occupied while I'm here, recovering. By now, the main character met the princess of the underwater and she has a pet kiwi. A kiwi is a bird, I learned. And I made it quack. Needless to say, this book is fantasy.
Well, now I wanna say something to you. (not like I haven't been doing that, but whatever) I miss you. I don't care what you did with Eric anymore. They got me off the drugs, so now all I need to do is still recover from the burns and let my mind sort itself out. They tell me I'm becoming more "zoetic", but I don't see it yet.
I'm far from okay, but with you in mind I know I can recover.

P.S. I said this in a letter to Kyle, but you two should visit. It'd be so much fun...
