Burn Brighter

I was left with a good bye letter and an mp3player. Jackson, you didn’t even know me and you know it. You turn to me to be the bearer of bad news. I haven’t read your letter yet, but I know that you didn’t leave because of an accident. Why did you leave me with the letter? Why Jackson?

          I unfolded the letter with shaking hands. My name was clearly written on the top of the paper. Your crappy handwriting made it harder to read. I took a deep breath before reading it. I was not prepared for this. I do not want to be the person that knows what happened to you. I don’t want this Jackson.

‘Dear Mark,

                   You are wondering why you have gotten this package right. I noticed you, Yi Eun. I saw you at the parties. I saw you at Jaebum’s house freshman year. You played a big role in this Yi Eun. No, I’m not blaming you. I could never blame you. I should start explaining the mp3 player. On the mp3 player, you should find seven tracks. Each one is one step closer to finding out what truly happened.

          I thought that you of all people could possibly still like me. You never did anything wrong to me. You never looked my way either. We only shared classes. We were more or less strangers. You probably just knew my name. Yet here I know your full name. (I have my sources.) Mark, can you promise not to tell my family? Can you keep this a secret?

          Yi Eun after you finished listening to the mp3 smash it into little pieces, so no one could find it. Burn this letter as well. I leave this in your care now. I’m sorry though. I didn’t know who else to go to. I’m probably gone by now. It’s better that way right?

Goodbye,

Jackson’

          You aren’t fair Jackson! I think you are blaming me. I don’t even know you outside of school. Jackson! You may have seen me at parties and at JB’s house, but that means nothing. Don’t call me that! Jackson, please don’t call me that name. My name is Mark, not Yi Eun.

          I don’t want to listen to this. I don’t want to know the truth. I’d rather not know what happened to you Jackson. You are gone, and I wouldn’t know how to deal with it. Why me of all people? Why not Jaebum or Jinyoung? I can’t promise you anything. I can’t keep

Chapter 9: I listened to Nell's song as I was reading the lyrics.. I liked how i got to feel the character's feelings. That story made me cry and i'm really impressed by how you described the feelings and all the stuffs that happened to all of them without it being too Cliché. For me it was a perfect mix of expressing feelings and keeping the reader into it until the really last sentence. Thank you for that good story :)
