Gone.

Chapter Eight: Oliver's Letter


Saturday

29th November 2008

Oliver

Dear Lily,

Miley said she wrote you a letter. I thought I might try too. There's so much I need to say, it could take all day.

It's been 28 days, since I saw you last. 672 Hours since I last talked to you. You're lucky, you know. You get to be in a better place. While me and Miley are stuck down here.
You know, I was going through my Emails from you the other day. I found one that, well, it was just a stupid chain letter. But it said;

'If I died and went up far,
I'd write your name on every star.
So everyone in the world can see,
Your friendship means the world to me.'

Funny, that, it was only if. But the next week, you did just that. Died. Isn't it ironic? I know you will never read this. But, I miss you. I really do. And every day, I wish that I will wake up and it was all a dream. But that is less and less likely as time goes on. And even though I miss you with all my heart, it's getting better. I still hear you call my name and I turn around with my heart racing, and then realize it was all in my head. And sometimes I see you in the corner of my eye and turn around to realize it's not you at all. I get angry every once in awhile, at you for leaving, at the person in the other car, at myself, at Hannah Montana, even at god. I know it's none of their fault. But I can't help being pissed off. Sorry.
I brought you a solar light to put at your grave so you have light during the night.
There is so much I want to say (and do) but I won't, otherwise this letter will go on for a million pages.
You know I love you, Lily.
All My Love,

Oliver

I put the letter in my bag along with the light and made my way down to the cemetery. I rode my bike there.

When I got there I put the letter down next to the headstone and put the light on top of it so it wouldn't blow away.

Why did this happen to Lily? I mean, she's made mistakes same as everyone else, but she's done nothing to deserve dying.

"Are you watching over us?" I asked the headstone, "I hope you are. Then at least you'll know how much I cared about you."
