22nd September

Dear William,

It's official. My parents have confirmed it. They are getting a divorce. Hallelujah. My mom has moved in with my dad's cousin in LA officially and she plans to get every penny from my dad that she possibly can. She also wants full custody of me, Abbie and Jax. Honestly woman, pick one, you can have one or the other, not both. My dad said no (duh). We'll probably be able to choose who we get to live with. I am definitely going to stay here. Not for any particular reason though. Just because I can't be bothered being the new kid. D̶e̶f̶i̶n̶i̶t̶e̶l̶y̶ ̶n̶o̶t̶ ̶b̶e̶c̶a̶u̶s̶e̶ ̶I̶ ̶w̶o̶n̶'̶t̶ ̶g̶e̶t̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶s̶e̶e̶ ̶y̶o̶u̶ ̶e̶v̶e̶r̶y̶ ̶d̶a̶y̶ ̶o̶r̶ ̶w̶a̶t̶c̶h̶ ̶y̶o̶u̶ ̶p̶l̶a̶y̶ ̶f̶o̶o̶t̶b̶a̶l̶l̶.̶ ̶W̶h̶a̶t̶?̶ ̶W̶h̶o̶ ̶s̶a̶i̶d̶ ̶t̶h̶a̶t̶?̶ ̶N̶o̶t̶ ̶m̶e̶,̶ ̶t̶h̶a̶t̶'̶s̶ ̶f̶o̶r̶ ̶s̶u̶r̶e̶.̶

I wish I actually had the courage to send you these letters you know. Maybe you'd be able to help me out? Meh, probably just wishful thinking.

So I heard that Lola was just using you to get to your best friend.... I honestly thought she was nice. Anyways, that means you are single now... Maybe I could have my chance. Who am I kidding. You're straight. I could never have a shot.

Some guys at school have been giving me shit again. I wish I could just go one day with out a homophobic slur being thrown at me. But no that's too much to ask, isn't it?

Shit, someone is coming, I better hide these letters. I'll write again soon.

Sincerely,

Ethan
