Letters from the Dead pt. 23

“Your mom was right.”
Leah had put her hand over mine.
“That guy… he would have done what he did no matter what.  You tried to stick up for her.”

I stopped her. 
I called out her boyfriend, but I never tried to get her away from him.
I riled him up, and let her go away with him. 

“Could you have stopped her?”

I thought about it.
No. She never gave me the chance.

They were gone right after the fight.

“Then it’s not your fault.”
She took a sip of her drink. 
“I wonder what ever happened to that creep. They never found him?”


I wondered, too.
