Why

Why? Chapter 3

By The Black Flames

Dear Natalie,

All three of us made it back to camp. As soon as we got back, Mike, Jake, and I started writing letters. This was my letter to you. Jake wouldn't tell me who he was writing to.

You know, I just realized that all of our names end in ke, while yours and Cassie's name end in ie. I was just pestering Jake when I saw a rare site. Mike smiled. Mr. I'm-so-depressed-never-smiling-person actually smiled. But then he turned back into that cold, unemotional person we know. I feel really sad about Mike. Everyday he seems more and more depressed. I think he even tried to commit suicide, although I can't tell because he's always wearing that black ensemble. They just called us for Roll call to see who we lost, so I'll make this short.

The real reason I wrote was to tell you my feelings for you. Every time I see your face or hear your voice my heart skips a beat. Because I love you.

Until this war is over,

Spike.
