I pushed my hair out of my face and sealed Rians envelope. I wrote his name on the front and put it neatly on the corner of my desk.

I feel I should explain myself a little. Well, my name's Rebecca Phillips, I'm 17 and I'm from Baltimore. I've always had a fucked up life, my Dad only comes 2 times a year, he said he has a job far away, but he wont tell me what it is.

I love it when my Dad comes to visit, we spend as much time as we can together, he takes me shopping and I tell him about everything he's missed, he loves being here and he says he wants to come back, but hs job is dangerous, and he can't spend too much time with loved ones. That's why he only stays for 2 weeks at a time. Oh, I wish I knew what his job is, it sounds interesting.

I have no brothers or sisters, so when Dad goes away it's just me and Mum here, I'll tell you more about her later on. But all you need to know for now, is it's horrible.

I have 4 more letters to write, I'll explain a little more later. Au revoir.
