You said you never would.
Don’t run away. Not without me.
Take me with you.
Take me.
I love you.

Ev.
Everett.
No. No.I’m your Ev, only ever your Ev.
No. He’d signed his notes Everett before. Hadn’t he? I’m sure of it.
I throw the paper haphazardly on the passenger seat. Then I grab the next one.
January 22, 2017
It’s been a year since you ran from me, pretty bird.
365 agonizing days.
Where are you?
I’ve had Gage searching. Every day. We are looking.
I spent months searching relentlessly, but I couldn’t find you.
I had to move on with my life.
But how could I?
There is no winning without you.
I didn’t want our dream without you.
I’m in pre-med classes now.
Living a future I never wanted.
A future without you.
365 days of fucking hell.
I went back to Mill’s today. Ski misses you. He hasn’t heard from you either.
What did we do to you to make you leave us?
Where did my Leora go?
I love you.
