Letter


Jack opened the letter with a sense of trepidation. Dear Jack. She closed her eyes and opened them. I'm sorry about everything I put you through. If you're reading this, I'm dead. Now, there are a few things you need to do to make yourself safe... Please, Jack, do it for me. The rest of the letter blurred as her eyes fell on the last words. Love, Alex. Jack crumpled the letter as she began sobbing. Alex was dead. She wanted to throw it at the wall. She wanted to scream. Most of all, she wanted him to be alive.
