Dear Dearest,

Like a needle in a hay stack. You keep your emotions in check. Whenever I please you, you look away, hiding your small smile. But we both know it’s there.

I try to get you to crack. I have dates with others where I know you’ll be. You always leave.

I’m so sorry.

Am I not that important? I had always asked.

I confront you why you won’t ask me out. You ram away covering your face. Your not worth it I told myself. But I know it’s a lie.

I’m so sorry.

One day your mom invited me to babysit your baby sister. You weren’t there. I put Sasha for a nap and explore.

I try to find your room. It wasn’t hard. Your parents were divorced I knew from Instagram.

There were 4 rooms. One with the name Sasha painted on it, and one with Mommy, one bathroom, yours and... one labeled Marie.

I’m so sorry.

I walked into your room. It was clean. Like doctors clean.

I had looked around. There were pictures of you and a girl that looked EXACTLY like you.

I felt like puking. I looked almost exactly like that girl.

The pictures were dated 2016, 2014,2015. The highest was 2016. I ran out and into The Marie’s room.

I’m so sorry.

Not clean. Dirty. Dresses thrown everywhere. Swimming suits were thrown out. A meddle hung above the sorrowful dresser. It had said swimming champ.

She had drown...

And I made it even harder. I had sunk to the floor. The baby screamed. I didn’t even hear.

After I took care of the baby I sat down and started this letter.

The holes everywhere on the page our my tears of conscious.

I’m soooooooooooooooooooo sorry.

And I know sorry doesn’t mean anything. Not now. I thought you should know I’m graduating early and will be moving. You’ll never have to see me and be reminded about your sister, Marie.

I love you... and that’s why I’m leaving.
