21. Dear God
CHAPTER 21
Dear God
Dear God,
Okay. There’s nothing dear about you. But that’s not the point of this letter. I have one question for you. Why are you so mean? Why are you so mean to me? Amelia hasn’t replied to my texts. Jason is not picking up my calls and Ashley barely offers meaningful replies when I call her. That’s on the few occasions she picks up. Dad knows nothing. I don’t know who else to talk to. The girls think I’m overthinking it but they don’t Amelia like I do.
I think Amelia Greene is sick. If she’s not telling me about it, then it’s bad, right? But that shouldn’t be a problem because you will fix her, right? You took Mum away from me and I’m still mad about that but you cannot take Amelia Greene away from me. She’s my best friend.
If anything happens to her, I’ll find you and you’ll not like what I’ll do. Amelia always prays to you so that should count for something, right? She’s a good person. She has a good heart. Don’t do what you did with Mum to her, okay? I won’t like it. It will be nice if she can come home before Christmas. Mace misses her. I do too. The house is emptier and boring without her. She can’t be sick now. We have to go to Paris. And New York. Fix her. I promise not to ask you for anything else. And when dad says he’s going to church, I won’t laugh at him.
But why do you even let bad things happen to the people who believe in you? It doesn’t speak well of you. Anyway, this letter is about Amelia. Whatever is wrong with her, please fix it.
Mum used to do this. She used to write letters to you and then burn them. Did it ever work?
PS: Please don’t take her away from me.
Signed,
