Chapter 17:
Kandy's P.O.V
It has been hard for me to adjust to this new way of living. I had never been to Missouri before, but I hope I'm fitting in alright. I wish Squid were here he would know how to make me feel better. He would probably take my hand and kiss me lightly and tell me everything was going to be ok. Although I had heard this many times I genuinely believed it when he said it. When he said everything was going to be alright I knew it would be alright. School just ended and it was the beginning of summer. I haven't had any real chance to make new friends. I did meet some new people at gymnastics, but not good friends yet. I'm glad it's summer because now it will be easier to write to Squid and the other guys. Every time I get a letter from Squid I feel better. It gives me hope that I will see him again. He also has relatives out here and he said he could come and see me when he visits them.
Dear Squid,
I miss you! School just got out and now it's summer. I hope you and the rest of the guys are surviving the heat! It's really hot here I can only imagine that it's hotter than hell there. I hope you like my letters I really like when I get one from you. It almost like I am talking to you again. I hope your doing well!
Love,
Kandy
There are only a little bit over two months until I get to see Squid again! That is what gets me though the night. When my head is swimming with thoughts of my mother and stress nothing makes me feel better than thinking of him. I know that I am still young but I know I love him. Right after I looked at him from the dirty windows of that bus I knew that I loved him. If only I would have figured that out sooner I could have told him. But I can't change that now and I'm just gonna have to tell him the minute I see him.
