Yours, Forever

Prologue

Dearest Dustin,

Can you believe graduation is only a few short weeks away? Omg! We're finally gonna be free from this PRISON of a high school!! No more inane pep rallies, no more curfew, no more being treated like children when we're practically full-grown adults. I especially can't wait to get away from Marie and her crew. Ugh. Why won't they just leave us ALONE? It's so immature! We're going to be in college in the fall—do they really think they can get away with that behavior in college?

Speaking of college… I'm really going to miss you. But I know that it'll be okay. You know it, too, right? Just because I'm going to NYU and you're going to U of M doesn't mean we have to break up. I don't want to break up. I believe in us. And I know you do, too. We'll video chat and, of course, see each other on breaks. We will totally make long-distance work. We always make it work, right ?

Did you know there are a bunch of non-stop flights from NYC to Detroit daily? Like, a lot of them? We'll totally see each other all the time! It will almost be like you go to NYU, too. Or like I'll go to U of M, too.

Ugh, Dustin, it's going to be SO cool. We're gonna have an amazing time. And then, in just four short years (ish), we'll be college graduates, and we'll get awesome jobs and buy a house together! The American dream, right?

It's going to be so wonderful. I'm so excited for my future with you. I love you like crazy. Call me after you read this, okay?

XOXO, Yours Forever
