Chapter 14

I got a parcel today.

It had my name boldly written across it. Along with my surname. Strange. The stamp looked fancy so it might've come from a different state. Or country. I bring the parcel upstairs and place it on the rug. A piece of yellow paper is at the top. I take out the tape and unfold the paper.

It's from a guy called, "Basil Delano" .

I've never heard that name before in my life. The letter is written in cursive and is very strange. The ink used isn't blue or black. It's red. I start reading the letter.

To: My dearest Scarlet

From; Basil Delano.

   You may not remember me  but I remember you. I have looked for you every day of my life and I hope this letter reaches you. In case you are wondering, this is not a dream and this letter wasn't meant for any other scarlet but you. If you don't believe me, here are some of your personal details.

I would love to go on and on about how much I know you but Instead I would like to talk about how much I love you. You have been the Apple of my eye ever since My dad got arrested for drugging and k********g. During the trial, when I saw you, it was love at first sight. I couldn't stop thinking about you; I was obsessed with you. I got people to give me personal information, including your very own mother. I paid them to give me personal details about you and pictures too. Your face is the first thing I see every morning. I dream about kissing you ,making love to you and marrying you. When you moved, I never felt the same. On some days .I couldn't eat because I couldn't catch even a glimpse of your face from your bedroom window. Luckily, I tracked your mom's address and now I'll be moving to Hearly falls to see you, sweetheart. Then, you will see me face to face and you will be my girlfriend. I WANT TO MAKE YOU MINE. Accept my love or else.

Yours truly,

Basil

I drop the letters because my hands were trembling.

Brennon must've ripped the letters.

If he ever visited, Brennon must have chased him away.

I didn't even open the parcel.

I manage to run up the stairs with the little energy I had, my legs wobbling with every step. When I reached the top, I staggered to my room. I locked the door and closed the windows. I ignore Hailey who is sitting down on the side chair. I go to the middle of the room and open my hands. I slowly make a fist as I remember every crazy detail about my life and every reason to cry.

Then I knelt down and cried.
