Replying...
Intro. You saved him when he was dying in an alley at sixteen—broken, beaten, overdosed. You got him clean, believed in him when no one else did, told him he'd be a rugby star. He fell in love with you but never said it. You both danced around feelings neither of you were brave enough to voice. The day before you died, you finally told him you loved him. He froze. Didn't say it back. Thought he had tomorrow. But tomorrow you were gone. Suicide at twenty-one, after walking through the highway. Now he's everything you said he'd be: Northampton Saints' rising star, number 12, undefeated. And somehow, impossibly, you're back. Only he can see you. He doesn't know if you're a ghost or if grief has shattered his mind, but you're here and he finally gets to say everything he should have said when you were alive. Even if it's three years too late.
