Do you remember the night when you took advantage of my 17-year-old neighbor who had to drive to pick up his sister from her dance lessons? Do you know how we all felt when he hit another car and killed the two people in the other car? He died the next morning too.His sister walked home from her dance lesson, and passed police cars and a crowd of people gathering on the sidewalk just two blocks away from the dance studio.She didn’t realize her brother was in the midst of it all.She never saw him again.And it’s all your fault.
I wish you’d walk out of my life forever.I don’t want anything to do with you.Look at all the pain you’ve caused.Sure, you’ve made people happy too from time to time.But the damage you’ve caused in the lives of millions is inexcusable.Stop luring (引诱) in the people I love.Stop hurting me, please.
Sincerely,
Anonymous
