If I were to upload a completely original book... would any of you read it? Long story short... I'm writing a book for school and I feel that if I were to upload on here, it would motivate me more. Maybe?

Also, if you haven't seen the last chapter, please make sure you read it before you read this one.

  Today is the day that he's being released from the hospital. He's excited about it, but also he doesn't know what to do. He looks over at the envelope, no one else is here right now, it's the perfect time to read it.
  He lets out a sigh, breaking the seal on the envelope, sliding out the piece of paper. His breath catches in his throat, the words in her handwriting causing his heart to skip.
Dear Ace,
  Is dear a bit too formal? I don't really know. Listen, I know that what I did, even though I put you through all of this, was a weak thing. A horrible easy way out. And I'm sorry.
  Yet, I admire you for being this strong. If I were you, I would never have stuck up for you. I'd just turned a blind eye to the abuse. You stuck up for me, but I still went back with him. I let him take me away from you, when you were the one who needed my help. I'll live with that guilt forever.
  You probably understand. Or you're probably thinking that you do. You're going to be trying to, at least. Don't. It's my weakness. You probably know that though.
  He threatened to hurt you if you followed us. Please don't try to help me. Don't call. Don't text. Don't... think about me. Forget I ever existed. Ace, you saved your own life that day I called you. You found the strength in yourself.
  It wasn't me. It wasn't anyone else, but you. You're the one who's still breathing. But you've saved me. You've opened my eyes to so many things. If... I die, I want you to know that it isn't your fault. It's my fault.
  You're going to be just fine. Believe in yourself. Don't take anything for granted. Let your family love you. You don't need to love yourself, if you let others give you their love, the rest will follow.
  I'm sorry, (Y/n). Have a nice life.
