Miles,

Happy Birthday! I haven't heard from you recently. I know you're really busy with soccer and school, so I understand that you can't write as often.

I bet you're taking driver's ed now. I believe you promised me a visit.

I miss you,

-Summer

Miles,

It's been months since you've written. Are you okay? Even when I look at the stars, you feel so far away.

-Summer

Miles,

You were right. I can't take care of myself. I thought I could and I was wrong. Please help me. Please don't leave me alone.

-Summer

Miles,

It's getting worse and I don't know what to do. Where are you? You were right. You're always right.

Miles,

I lied, is that what you want to hear? I just didn't want you to worry. But I'm sorry that I lied to you. It was never a nosebleed. He's been hurting me. I don't know what to do.

-Summer

Miles,

I don't understand what I did wrong. But whatever it was, I'm sorry. I'm so, so sorry. Please just tell me how to fix it. You're all that I have left, Miles. You're it. How am I supposed to keep going without you?

I'm sorry,

-Summer
