Lucas,
Hey, stalker. I start this knowing that yours is going to be the hardest letter that I write. From my very first day in Hawkins, you saw me. I think even then in the back of my mind I knew that you saw me in a way that nobody else really did. That never changed, not for a second even after all this time, even after I was such a bitch for the months leading up to everything that happened. You never stopped caring about me and it showed in everything you did.
If all of this goes south, I need you to know that it was never about you. It was always about me and my inability to do anything besides exist at the time. I never stopped caring about you. I listened to your games every single night on the radio. There isn't a single person in this world that I care about more than you. You are the most caring, gentle, funny, kindest man i've ever met.. there hasn't been a day that has gone by that I haven't missed you.
I need you to promise me to get the hell out. If something happens, get out. I don't want you trying to avenge me and getting yourself hurt or worse in the process, alright? There is truly not a soul in this world like you, Lucas Charles Sinclair. Thank you for giving me all of the laughs, the love, experiences, firsts, fights. Everything.
I love you.
Max.
