Kristy Thomas got out of bed when her alarm went off and padded over to
look out of the window. She had fought with her parents yesterday which
was something she really regretted. Shaking herself slightly in an attempt
to wake herself up she pushed those thoughts aside and tried to get ready
to face the day with a determination not to let things get that out of hand
again.
As she walked past her door she noticed that there was an envelope on the floor, sticking out, half under her bedroom door.
Silently she wondered who had put it there and what was so important that they wouldn't just wait and give it to her when she went downstairs.
She ripped it open and as she read it tears dripped silently down her cheeks.
She slowly took a shower and got dressed, all the while wondering how she could explain what had happened, why she had acted like that but still keep her promise to Patrick.

Dear Watson,
I am sorry that I hurt you. I wish that I could explain to you why exactly it is that I acted as I did but I'm not sure of the reason myself. Can we just put that down as one of those difficult parent-child moments that are caused by my apparently raging hormones or something?
I love you too and I am so sorry I acted like I did. When I realised that I had forgotten David Michael I was so scared. Scared that something had happened, and more then that, scared of what you would say, that you would think less of me because of it. what you think of me means a lot.
*************
looking down at the paper and re-reading what she had written through her tears, Kristy realised that she couldn't do it. Couldn't give Watson the letter, it wasn't the whole truth, she had missed stuff out and she had lied to him again. He deserved more then that. Suddenly resolute, she ripped up the letter and went downstairs to get on with her day, determined to speak to Patrick and sort this mess out once and for all so she could talk to her dad - Watson
