Dearest ex-friends,

When I got home from school, I heard giggles and moans. Startled, I crept forward. Zoe, you were by my side as I creaked open my mother's door. What I saw would forever haunt me. I stumbled back, shielding my eyes and yours.

My mom was having an affair. The man in the bed with my mother wasn't my father. I'd suspected something like this. My family had been falling apart since I let my sister die.

You both comforted me. You guys were the only comfort I had in this world. I thought that our relationship would be better than my parents', Ian.

I thought I deserved more than what life handed me.

Remember,
Laila
