dear richie,

it's been nine days, but it feels like forever

i miss you

me and the other losers were together yesterday

it wasn't the same

the fireworks were apparently really pretty from what eds told me

being around the others made me think about you even more than what i normally do, and i couldn't take it

did you get my other letter?

i wish you could come back

every single night since you left i slept in your derry bicycle shop shirt

it still sorta smells like you

school starts in exactly one month

it'll be weird to be there without you, y'know school

apparently me and steve are going to my grandma's house the next two weeks

i won't be able to write, but you'll still always be the first thing that comes to my mind when i think

i miss you

i love you

please come back, i want you here with me

victoria ♡
