2. Awaking

Emma was awakened by the bright sunshine which seeped through her window onto her bed.

She felt that something wasn't right. She had the feeling that she was observed. But when she looked around her room she couldn't see anybody.

Finally her eyes fell on something white which lay on her table. She rose from her bed and went over to the table. She took the note in her hands - rubbed the sleep from her eyes and began to read the letter.

Dear Emma,

I don't know how it began and why it happened. This feeling in me becomes stronger and stronger. I cannot suppress the need in me any longer.

To see deep into your eyes - to touch you - to kiss you - to love you.

I know that I can't give way to this need because I won't destroy what we have.

Our friendship is too important to me.

Because of this I have to go.

I'm sorry. When you read this letter I'll be already gone.

Please tell Adam, Brennan and Jesse that I'm sorry and that I'll never forget you.

Shal
