Here's the 3th part, Ryan's letter. It's not very long, but I hope you'll enjoy it anyway!

Hi Kirsten,

What's up? You have no idea how long it took me to write these first couple of words. And still I'm not sure if those are the words I want to use. But you probably don't care about that, right? So, let's tell you about what happend the last couple of weeks. Marissa and I doing fine. We're really close now, and we do a lot together. Most of the time we're with Summer and Seth though, we hang around very often together. Just... having fun, you know. We go to the beach or the mall. Or we just eat something at the Pier. Marissa has been there for me, the whole time. So are Seth and Summer. I'm sorry I haven't visit you. I don't know why. In case you think it's because of what you said at they intervention with the docter from the clinic... I forgot about that. I hope you did too. Maybe it sounds stupid, but I'm just scared, I think. I don't know why. You're they only one who knows that though. Maybe it sounds stupid, but I just feel comfortable, sharing my feelings with you instead of Seth or Sandy. I don't know why. I don't know what more to tell you. It seems so... boring without you in the house. I mean, Sandy looks after us, but he's missing you so much. Julie's coming around often. To talk and stuff. When she's not being the overprotective mother who hates the fact that her daughter's dating someone who's from Chino, she's actually pretty nice. Anyway... I don't know what more to write. I actually thought I could write only about two sentences, so this isn't that bad. I miss you, Kirsten. I come visit you soon, I promise. But I hope you're able to come home soon, so I can see you here instead!

Love,
Ryan
