Chase’s Christmas Mix Tape For Bronte
Chief,
I think I should have gotten you that scarf you said you liked. You would have been able to use it. It would have been a useful Christmas present. My mom says those are the only kind to give. I don’t like useful gifts. I like gifts that mean something. This means something. Maybe you’ll even like it, if I’m lucky. Even if you hate it, just stick through until the end. These songs make me think of you. We’ve listened to most of them; sitting on the hood of my car (before you killed him), hiding from the world in your room, wherever. Except for the last one. The last one is really important, okay? Make sure you listen to that one. Twice if you need to.

***This is the song I told you I’d give you that time we were drunk and you asked me what I thought about you, since I doubt you remembered to look it up—I don’t blame you, you were really hungover. Listen to it carefully. Please. It’s how I feel about you.
