Chapter 0291

The boy that fifteen–year–old me had fallen in love with.

With trembling hands, I unfolded one of the letters, the paper soft and worn from years of reading and rereading.

“Dear Hannah,” it began. “My mom passed this morning I can’t thank you enough for what you did for me this summer. Taking me to see her in the hospital… I’ll never forget that. You gave me a chance to say goodbye, and I’ll always be grateful. I don’t know how would have gotten through it without you.”

I bit back tears as I read on. Noah wrote about his mother’s passing, his grief palpable even through the faded ink. He poured out his heart to me in a way he never did anymore.

“Sometimes I feel so alone,” he Itad written. “But then I remember you, and I don’t feel quite so lost. Thank you for being my friend, Hannah, I don’t know what I would do without you.”

It took all of my power to not crumple that letter in my hands.
