Dear Charity,
Everything is better now. I've been in the hospital. And this time it isn't because I have cancer. Steve hurt my mom, and then went after me. He hit me, punched me giving me a concussion. But Dave saved me again. Now Steve is in jail where he belongs. You're last letter broke my heart, I don't what Ethan to be sad, I love him too much. My mom is now trying to make things up for me. She can't though, she can't not hurt me. She'll always mess up. I love my mom, but I can't stand her. I'm glad Oma is doing better! I miss you Charity!
Leah
The next day was Saturday and Leah had missed a week of school. She really didn't care. The doorbell rang. She opened the door. It was Dave.
" Oh, Hi Dave!" she said and smiled.
He smiled back. " I like to see you smile, I don't see it often. I wanted to see how you were doing,"
" Come on in, I'm doing better, just tired" she said.
" I brought you these," he said pulling out a bouquet of flowers.
" Why?" She said when she saw them, they were beautiful.
" You don't like them?" he mumbled.
" No," she said and took his hand. " I love them! I just never said thank you. Thank you so much for what you've done for me," she said almost crying. She looked at him and kissed him on the hand.
"I'm glad you like them, you're beautiful, you know that, right?"
Leah blushed.
"Leah! I'm home!" Roberta yelled.
Leah instantly took her hand away from Dave,
"Oh mom, we're in here," she said.
" Oh Hi Dave, I knew someone is here."
" I'll leave Leah, see you later, okay? Nice seeing you Roberta,"
" Bye," Leah said.
Leah was glowing. How does Dave make me feel this way? Its different than Ethan, but its not bad.
" Are you going out with Dave?" her mom asked her when he left.
" I don't think so," Leah replied and started to go up to her room.
" You can't keep ignoring me Leah," Roberta said.
" You didn't believe me mom, I want nothing to do with you," she said angrily.
" I made a mistake,"
" You always make mistakes mom, so don't make excuses.,"
" I'm sorry Leah, I'm so sorry, if you want to talk I won't be here tonight I'm going out,"
"With another guy?
"His name is Chris, its different,"
"You always say that, you disgust me, I hate you," Leah said running upstairs leaving her mother to cry.
That night it rained poured and Leah was home alone. When the doorbell rang. She ran downstairs and opened the door. Standing in her doorway was Ethan, dripping wet. She gasped.
"Ethan," she said and that instantly hugged. They stayed that way with the rain coming down.
