Chapter 15

Dear Squid,

I miss you more than anything. I just found out who my new family is. There all really nice. It's a guy who is around 29 and he's really cool, so if his girlfriend who is over all the time. Apparently he is the only relative that is capable of taking care of me. I do feel bad for him though because he is stuck with taking care of someone and he's still young. I hope your doing well. I really miss you this first few weeks have been painfully long. I know it sounds corny but I can't stop thinking about you. I hope all of the guys are still doing well.

Love always,

Kandy

p.s- only 3 months 2 weeks to go!

Dear Kandy,

I miss you too. All of the guys are doing well and I'm ok. I know how you feel these few weeks have been so bad for me. I never thought I could miss anyone this much. Where are you living? Is it nice? I'm glad you like who you're living with. There is a new kid his name is Caveman. He's ok. I still wish you were here though. Things just seem so much worse when your not here, not just for me but for every one. All the guys think its hell here again. You really made living in this hell hole ok. But I will see you again and that makes every day a little bit better.

Miss you more than anything,

Squid

Dear Squid,

I live in Missouri now! I have never been there. I just realized that I never asked you where you lived. So where do you live? I was thinking about you the other night and I wrote this, I'm really bad at describing how I feel but I think this about sums it up. Sorry it's so damn mushy.

I'm lying here in my bed,

A million things running though my head.

I can't stop thinking about you

And all the things you do

I never have a moment of peace

This pain inside never seems to cease.

There is this pain inside my soul

And it never seems to let go.

It's only been one month,

But a month seems like a year

And every second you gone

I shed another tear.

I'm really glad that you like the new guy. I hope everyone is doing well, and I'm not surprised that Mom gave up on the meetings. I mean he has no one to inspire you guys any more (just kidding). I will see you 3 months!

Love,

Kandy

Dear Kandy,

I live in New York. I do have relatives in Missouri though. So maybe when I visit them I can see you! Weird things have been happening here since you left. I miss you and I can't wait to see you again.

Love,

Squid

The letters between Kandy and Squid kept coming about once a week. This always made Squid a little bit happier, although he felt like shit everyday. He sometimes cried at night, one time Caveman caught him, after that he would go some where else to cry. There wasn't a day that went by that Squid didn't think about Kandy. Kandy would cry almost every night thinking about Squid. She always loved to write songs and poems, but the tone had changed in them. They were all about Squid and how she missed him more than anything.

With only three more months left to go Kandy had been planning to go and pick up Squid from Camp Green Lake the day he got released. She though about what she would do when she saw him. She planned like Squid to tell him how much she loved him. She had realized she he was the most important thing to her and that she loved him. It just took her a month of being away from him to realize that.

Squid felt the same way. He knew that the moment he saw Kandy he would tell her how much he loved her and how much she meant to him. His life was not the same without her. He appreciated her letters and always wrote back hoping that she enjoyed them as much as she did.
