Anna, you miss him._ __ll the time. I still can__ believe he__ gone._ The words come out in a whoosh, tasting funny in my mouth. No matter how many times I say them, they still feel like a garbled, impossible language. My chest hurts, and I have to hold my breath to keep from inhaling a deep sob. __e was more than your best friend._ I nod absently, forgetting myself for a moment, forgetting that I__ talking to Jayne and not my journal. __ _ I mean, he was like a brother to me. You know, like Frankie. Well, she__ the sister. I mean__ Jayne reaches for my hands across the table, shaking her head softly. __weetheart, when you say Matt__ name, you have the same look in your eyes that he__ get whenever he__ say yours.

I wanted him to meet Ainsley. She was super important to me. I made my decision. __...I would like that.__ider__ reaction was immediate. He smiled and the dimple appeared. My breath caught. I__ actually invited Rider along to meet Ainsley. I wanted that. Really wanted that, but I had no idea what to do with that.Regardless, excitement hummed through me. Hanging out with Rider and Ainsley was normal. Something a million people probably did every day, because they were actually living life, but it was a first for me__ huge first. It was my best friend and it was the guy...the guy who__ been my best friend and who now, despite everything, felt like something deeper, richer and more intricate, hanging out together.It felt important.

Right after Matt died, I was afraid to do basically everything. I couldn__ even bite my nails or sniff my shirt to see if I needed deodorant without feeling like he was watching me. I willed and prayed and begged him to give me a sign that he was watching, that he was with me, so I would know. But he never did. Time moved on. And I stopped being afraid. Until right now, vulnerable and insecure and a little bit drunk. Lying in the sand and falling in crazy love with someone I just met. Matt is watching me. Observing. Possibly judging. And the worst part of it is, I don__ want to wake up under his landslide of sad rocks anymore. I don__ want to taste the marzipan frosting and the clove cigarettes. I don__ want to think about the blue glass necklace or the books he read to me on his bed or the piles of college stuff or some random boy in the grocery store wearing his donated clothes. I don__ want to be the dead boy__ best-friend-turned-something-else. Or the really supportive neighbor friend. Or the lifelong keeper of broken-hearted secrets.
