This is a letter written by Alicia to my sister not long before she died.

Dear Ashley,

First of all, I do know what you mean about not being able to experience the daily laugh or "joke of the day" with you. You were my partner in crime, my other half. It does hurt me to know that I am losing a truly great friend. All of the considered, I am not willing to put myself in a vulnerable position, where my "friend" talk about me. I have been through that many times, in many relationships.

Ceili told me to tell you that she said she didn't say that to be clear with you, but we both know that she did say that. I don't know what Ceili's motive was, but I suppose it worked. I would love to be your friend again and have all of those good times agin, but I'm just not sure what to do. I am really confused.

We had so many memorable times within the short period of time that we had been friends, that I am not willing to give that up. I to had plans for us to be friends all throughout high school and even longer than that. Though, lying and being hurtful will not make that happen. If we could just omit that from our relationship then we will again be the notorious "Mac Daddy" and "Sheniquia" again.

I just want you to know that I never intended for you to lose any friends over OUR problem. I also did feel that I had a special bond and very unique closeness to you, that indeed, I have never felt before. I just wanted to make sure you knew that. Well, I think that I have spoken my peace.Bye.....FRIEND.

P.S. You knew I would write back.

Love Always, Alicia
A.K.A Sheniquia
