Alyssa was quiet for a while before she lifted her head and looked at me directly in the eyes the asked me a question I always wanted to hear before I discovered I had tumor.
"Is this about the fact that I never saw you as anything more than a friend, your letter made that clear. I am the person the character in the letter was talking about right? She asks looking at me straight in the eyes, my heart leaped out of my chest...

Micah pov.
My heart leaped out of my chest as blood rushed into my ears as all I could hear was a piercing whistle like sound. No, this is not the time for her to figure it out, she is not supposed to know, and I cannot drag her down to my world of hospitals and sickness. She is better off without me. I said to myself, I try to convince myself but my heart ref

Alyssa povMy heart is breaking. No, it has broken. I was not dating this guy but he still broke my heart. What an irony. I always thought that the person who could not break my heart in this earth was Micah but still he did, I unknowingly gave him my heart and he just broke it, although I don't think that he knows that he broke my heart, the Micah I know would do everything possible to make sure that I am happy but then again this Micah is different from my Micah. I don't have to be a genius to know that something big is happening with Micah and he is keeping it from me on purpose, it is no longer funny or enjoyable. I thought I was giving Micah the space he wanted but it seems like I should not have done it. He must see it in a way that makes me the guilty party like he needed me and I was too busy playing hooky with Jake to pay him any attention. What he does not know is that he wanted me away from him, I

Micah povAll I ever wanted was right in front of me but I couldn't do anything other than let it go. Am I cursed to never have my own happy ending? No I cannot start thinking like that yet. I hope Alyssa will forgive me when I am through with chemo, she can't forget all our years of friendship like that. * The same friendship you just spat on and walked all over. * My mind brought up. Oh God, I started chanting in my head, * it is for her good* because that is the only thing that is preventing me from picking up the phone to call her, apologize and set things straight. Or better yet, go to her house and confess my undying love for her, face to face then kiss her. I wish it was possible but it is not. At least not yet. Micah, what is wrong. My mother asks as she came into my room and dropped the laundry basket down then starte

Alyssa pov. The exam period has been hard on me. Not only was I without my boyfriend. (I certainly broke up with Jake when I realized my feelings for Micah.)I was without my best friend too and that made me cranky as hell but right now. I'm feeling refreshed. There is only one thing to do today since I finished my finals yesterday. March to Micah and demand he tell me what is happening. I went downstairs already dressed when I saw my father pacing around the room like he has something huge going on in his mind. Dad, what is wrong. I asked him softly. Your mother is coming back today. He mumbled. After three months. She remembers where we stay and the way to get here, I am surprised, and I am surprised she even remembers who we are. I said heatedly but when my father only sighed but continued pacing. That is not what is
Love Letter Twenty nine
Alyssa pov.My nerves was all jumbled together on my way here, even as I stand outside Micah home, on the sidewalk I still didn't understand what I was feeling. I was not comfortable in my own skin. It felt like there was an itch inside my skin and that I can't reach it, I have a nagging thought that something important was happening today but I didn't know what. It was getting hard in just ignoring what I am feeling. I wish I could ignore it but I can't. I took in a deep breath and released it, repeated the exercise a few more times before I decided I was ready to go face Micah. He might have hurt my feelings but I refuse to let my mind dwell on that. I will not allow my attitude to get the best of me. I will be there for him because I know that he will be there for me too. As I turned to move towards the door, that was how the doo

Alyssa povArriving in the hospital, I followed behind Micah mother who moved with a purpose as if she knows where she is heading, when she stopped and greeted receptionist as if they were friends and added my name to the list of visitors allowed to see Micah, I changed my thoughts.She does know where she is going, just a few weeks without Micah being by my side, I have forgotten how Micah always behaved. This is Micah, most people are control freak or neat freak and although Micah is heading closed to being a neat freak, and he really isn't one. What Micah is, is a planning freak, the guy plans for every possible outcome and how to deal with which ever one happens to be a reality.That is Micah, and drives me crazy because sometimes, it is like he sees the future and it vexes me that he knows what I will do before it happens and sometimes he repeat the same words as I do when ranting ev

Alyssa pov... After controlling myself, I walked down to where the rest family is and sat down with them while we wait for Micah to come out, even if not better, he would get there someday. I have to keep reminding myself that Micah has 90% chance of survival that he will not be among the other 10%. He couldn't be, if he dares it, I would go into the afterlife after him so that I can drag him out then beat him within an inch of his life before forcing him back in his body. That made completely no sense but that is what I will try to do. That reminded me. I need to let my father know what is going on.I got up and went to the hospital cafeteria where I ordered food and drinks for the Vegas, knowing them, they will probably stay in the position they are in until Micah leaves surgery and is out of danger and giving them grief about how they don't take care of their selves. I know all this becau

Alyssa pov. I don't know how long I stayed there waiting for any news concerning Micah, but I do know that the seconds blend into minutes which in turn blended into hours, when the door open. I didn't know how long I had remained in that position but I know it was long to have my bones screaming at the sudden movement. Still I jumped up and ran to the doctor who started giving the news about Micah.How is he? Micah mother asked fearfully. He survived, he is in recovery right now, and we have removed as much tumor as we can without it affecting any of his mental capabilities. He is stable but resting now. Although he will have to go for chemo still. The doctor said but I could tell that Micah mother stopped listening after the doctor said that Micah was okay. Can we see him? I asked, it is not as if I didn't believe the doctor, of course I do but I want to confi
Love Letter Thirty three
Micah pov.I woke up feeling groggy and disoriented but then again I just woke up after a surgery. I wonder what they did and if I am okay, since I am alive and they didn't mistakenly do something to kill me, I will assume that I am okay for now. I think that I can relax, I want to rest some more....**** Hearing voices woke me up and brought my attention to the fact that there are voices inside the room with me. Well technically that means that people are with me but I wouldn't know if they were quiet. I let out a groan before I mumbledCan you please reduce the noise, it is too loud.Of course the voices clearly belonging to humans increased as they rushed towards me and started asking about me.... Why can't they just do as they are told? So tired, need rest....

This is the end of our story, our love story. The one that started with the letter I wrote for her, the one that started a year ago but burned as fiercely as a raging inferno. An inferno that was put out too quickly. An inferno that died the day Alyssa died. Now she is being laid to rest but as she is being buried so is my heart. I have finally conquered my anxiety attacks. I no longer feel anything. I am now cold and unfeeling. It scares my family. I can see it in their eyes when they look at me and share a worried look between themselves, I can see it when my siblings try to cheer me up, they don't do what annoy me any longer, the pranks have died with Alyssa. Sometimes I wish we never started dating if that means that she would still be alive.Then I would slap myself and stop assigning blames or 'would haves' because it never change anything. Alyssa is still gone and I cherish every moment we spent together. Every kissed we shared, every look th

**** Within two weeks, I relapsed and now I am back in the hospital. Doing chemotherapy and having a therapist come to deal with my anxiety. I know for a fact that if I am not careful this period I would end up with an anxiety disorder. Alyssa would certainly not want that for me. I can see it clearly in my head, if Alyssa was alive and something like this is happening, she would have hit me at the back of my head and order me to get my shit cleaned up. That is my girlfriend for you.... That was my girlfriend for you. I still can't believe that she is gone. It is too unsettling to discover that she is not by my side or that she didn't go to get something and that is to reason for her not being able to be with me physically. I cannot believe it that she is gone, sure I know that she is gone but my mind can't wrap around the fact that I will never see her face smiling or pouting or giving me that look that is sp

Micah pov. Even before the doctor came out with the news that Alyssa was gone. I knew that she was gone. I now know what the sharp pain meant. It meant that my soul mate was dead. I have been numb ever since I entered the car, I came out and did everything my family did but my mind was blank... The doctor came out and her parents rushed to him but he just removed his mask and shook his head. My sweet bratty princess was gone and it was confirmed, that was when the first sob teared out of my throat and I held on tight to my mother, I felt people surrounding me but I could not pay attention to them. I am without my soul mate, my best friend. How would I survive? This is all her mother fault, normally I try not to point fingers and assign blame but I have to this time. It is all her fault, if she had let Alyssa do whatever she wants, we wouldn't even be in this town now. If she had not forced Alyssa to be her maid o

Micah povWill you grow up man? I asked my brother as I hit him with the back of my hand. I am only thirteen, so no, not yet. Mike replied annoying the hell out of me. What did I do to deserve this, right from the moment he was born he has done nothing except annoy me. Mike, stop. Alyssa call put him in a good mood let's hope that the good mood last for a little while. Don't make it evaporate so quickly. Celine said as Mike and dad chuckled at her statement. What is this? Gang up and tease elder brother day? I asked not amused. No, that was yesterday. Mike replied. That is why we annoyed the hell out of you. Celine added. You mean like how you are doing right now and how you also did last two days. I pointed out. You are right. Annoying e

Micah povWeeks laterPreparing for Alyssa parents marriage is taking a toll out of me, well out of Alyssa, which affect our relationship and in turn, affect me. Sometimes I wish I could kidnap her and hide her away from her mother who has turned into brideizza. I don't get the deal, you have being married to this man for eighteen years only to divorce him saying that you no longer feel sparks or whatever silly excuse she gave eleven months ago only to come back three months later and plead with him that she made a mistake and that she still wants to be in his life then get remarried in less than a year of being apart. Too crazy, she didn't apologize to Alyssa and although she was welcomed by her husband... Ex-husband and soon to be husband again and also my parents, Alyssa and I never did welcome her back. Alyssa was hurt by her leaving and Al never forgive someone who hurt her ea

Micah povI was getting ready to take my car to the mechanic to see if there was anything that could be done to salvage the situation when my mother called me from down stairs saying I had a visitor, I groaned as grabbed a tee shirt and quickly out it on as I hurried down the stairs with my keys in my back pocket only for me to stop at the last step when I saw who it was.Alyssa, someone whom I was clearly not expecting to see. I was even tempted to not believe my eyes because I was certain that Alyssa would never apologize for what happened, the highest I was expecting her to do is to concede to the fact that maybe she was not right with her actions and even then, it would be done grudgingly. Alyssa was not the kind of person to apologize and that was why I was finding it hard to believe.Then my siblings started their snickers in the background, the tv they were watching was long forgotten as they turned to face us.

Alyssa Pov,How did me and Micah go from a candlelight dinner to fighting? I have no idea but what I do have an idea of is that he is irrational and my feelings are rightly justified.And what I am also sure of is that he might not want me again.Yes, I might sound dramatic but it is the truth, Micah cares very much about his car, I think me and his mother are the only ones who are allowed to seat in the front seat and I just keyed his car.I know, I wasnt really thinking. I just got upset because he was not relenting, it was just me saying goodbye to Jake.Jake was going away to college, and based on what happened at his party, I did not really talk to him and although he got on Micah nerves, it did not change the fact that although Jake sting my pride by sleeping with Tiffany but I broke his heart when I broke up with him just to be with Micah.
Love Letter Thirty eight
Alyssa povHello honey, it has been long since we talked. Tiffany stated trying to hug me with a false smile which I certainly did not believe.She had ambushed me on my way to get drinks for me and Micah because since we arrived at the party together, we have been inseparable and have been sitting on the couch together, not making out but certainly more touchy feely than usual, I think it is finally getting into their heads that we are a couple.I have been happy at that and feeling high and staring into the face of Tiffany, that high is slowly being expired and I was not in the mood to feign happiness at seeing her.What do you want? I asked but instead of my tone to come out as hostile, it came out as defensive.I frowned at my words and I was not the only one who caught up on the defensiveness that was in my tone because Tiffany jumped on it by crowding my space.

Micah povApparently, kissing in front of your friends and those who you went to high school with is not enough to convince people anymore that you are in a relationship with your best friend.Granted, it was me and Alyssas fault for always coming up with crazy schemes and being too close outside. It was annoying enough to Jake wanted Alyssa but it was nothing compare to the girls who me and Alyssa went to school with as they all, all of a sudden wanted to hang out with me. Alyssa was not a happy camper at the attention which they paid to me.You know that you look cute when you pout. I teased Alyssa to get her mind off the fact that we were invited to go for a party tomorrow and in Jake home nevertheless.You know, you ought not to annoy me especially since I am in a bad mood. Alyssa retorted as I sighed.I let go of the trash bag in my hand as we were in the process of cleaning the la
