Dear Jayme. 12th Letter.

Emily 19 October 2004

You brought Lisa home today. She was beautiful, sweet and caring. I must say, Jay, you picked the right girl! I’m so proud that you’ve finally gotten someone who will love you back. The thing about you Jayme, is that whenever you love, whenever you do something, you will always give your one hundred and one percent. That is why I had to protect you so fiercely, I was afraid you would give yourself away to the wrong person.

Lisa was not the typical average American girl, she had black hair when most girls are dying their soft brown hair blonde, she had striking blue eyes and a very sharp small nose. Her character sparkled and shined, a perfect match for you. Although she may stand out more than you, Jayme, she was your other half- anyone with eyes could see that. The way you both look at each other, the way you talk about her; Jayme, you’re crazy for this girl.

When she left, all you could do was watch as a motorcycle came by and picked her up, disappearing into the night. You talked about her twenty four seven, you were constantly on the phone, constantly out of the house. Your dressing style changed, from sweaters to polo shirts, from berms to proper jeans. With Lisa, you were completely different. I guess it was because you both were so in love, I didn’t realise the person Lisa was making you become.
