I hold the letter in my trembling hands. She wrote them that night, while I slept. She wasn't organizing things, she was writing these letters.

I open the letter and begin to read it.

Liam, my boy with the blue eyes. she begins, making me smile.

I suppose circumstances have separated us against our will. I'm not sure how to say any of this, mostly because I don't want to. Thinking about living life without you...the thought alone is unbearable and I can't imagine having to actually live through it. And, I'm sorry that I'll be the reason why your world begins to fall apart. I'd do anything for you. And I know you'd do the same for me. You are and always will be the great love of my life.

I'm not sure how I haven't completely lost my sanity yet, with everything that has happened to us, but a lot of it has to do with you. I don't know what I'd do without you. You help keep me steady in the middle of so much uncertainty. You are stronger and more capable than you think., Liam. You're going to make an incredible alpha. I see the leadership qualities in you, you need to see them in yourself as well.

Life is hard, so lean on your friends. Lean on Mason. Corey. They aren't just your friends, they are part of your pack. Don't push them away when things get rough, they'll need you and you'll need them. Carry each other.

I wish I didn't have to say goodbye to you. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me, and I couldn't be any more grateful for the time I got to spend with you. You were my first for a lot of things, and will be my only for a lot of those things as well. I'll never forget the first time I saw you standing across the hall, and everything that happened after that. No matter what it was, we were always led back to each other.

I'm sorry that I had to go, and I know you would follow me wherever I go but you can't follow me this time. And it's okay. Enjoy the time you have with the people around you. Allow yourself to be happy. Allow yourself to fall in love again.

Please tell Mason, that I love him. And that he was the greatest friend to me. I couldn't have gotten through any of the heartbreak caused by life without him.

And whatever happens, know I'll always come back to you.

Love always,

                             Veronica.

I set the letter down on my bed, my tears staining the paper as I sob. I miss her so much. Everything about her.

She always knew what to say. And even a year later, her words bring me a comfort I haven't felt since I lost her.

It'll always be us, Veronica. Always.
