Emerson demanded that Bradley and I hang out with him after school today.

He won't give us any hints about what we're doing.

We showed up at the Pack house to see Emerson and some girl, who he said was his friend Julia from college.

Julia was going to be a phlebotomist.

"Don't tell me we're going to get our blood drawn," I groaned.

"Not today," Emerson said, "but we're going to do something that gets your heart pumping."

The next thing I know we are on four-wheelers in the mountains near our town. 

I road with Julia and Bradley and Emerson each road on their own. 

I think I screamed in Julia's ear so loud she ruptured an ear drum. 

I couldn't believe that I was having a super fun day once again.

Being with Emerson and Bradley reminded me of my childhood.  Before the depression. 

I wrote a letter that night.

Julia,
Will you please try and make it to my funeral? It will be near the end of December of this year.

R.S.V.P. to my mother.

Goodbye,
Caitlyn

P.S. Sorry if I broke your ear.
