certainty.
     
    “Maybe you are right.”
     
    “Oh, some post came for you. I forgot to say. I left it on the table.”
     
    Megan suddenly got up throwing me a handwritten envelope. I didn’t think much of it until I opened it. Then my body began to tremble. What the hell was going on?
     
     
    Shannon,
     
    I am not who you think I am.
     
    Do not trust him. He can NEVER love you like me. I am so close you can almost touch me. See me please. I cannot admit my feelings until I know you feel the same. Do not hate me for breaking your happiness. I believe we belong together. When you realise who I am you will understand.
     
    I am yours forever.

    “What is it, Shan?” Megan asked with a worried face. I was frozen to the spot.
     
    How could this be, Mr Anonymous was Will? He had confessed six weeks ago. What did this letter mean? Will had lied to me? I felt sick to the pit of my stomach.
     
    “Shannon, what is wrong?” Megan asked again.
     
    “It’s a letter…”
     
    “Is it from him, Mr Anonymous? Let me see,” Megan interrupted taking the letter from my stunned fingers. “What does this mean? Do you know who he is? Shannon, have you been keeping secrets from me?”
     
    “I… I really have no idea what is going on. Will said it was…”
     
    “Oh my God, it’s Will… holy cow! You have been seeing my brother haven’t you? All this time you weren’t studying.” Megan was leaping around almost screaming. It was very hard to concentrate. “Have you slept with… actually, I don’t want to know never mind. You and Will that is great, no… it’s brilliant.” I knew Megan would be pleased, but I hadn’t planned on her finding out this way.
     
    “Yes, I am seeing your brother,” Megan was about to butt in probably to yell at me, but I carried on, “but this letter states he is not the one writing them. Which I am worried about. Seeing as he admitted to me he was the one who wrote them over six weeks ago.” I stared blankly at my letter.
     
    “Oh my God, you have two people in love with you. Shannon, I am really impressed… who is the other guy?” Megan asked suddenly worried.
     
    “I have no idea, Megan. Your brother and I are just getting to know each other, it’s not serious yet.”
     
    “Not for you, but I am sure Will has other feelings.” Megan grinned. She had known Will was in love with me from the start. It was Will himself stopping Megan from telling me.
     
    “I know that too, but he is happy to take things slow.”
     
    “I still can’t believe it. You and my brother,” Megan sighed. “It’s the best news I have had in ages. Wait till Charlie finds out.”
     
    “No, please don’t tell Charlie. We are still finding our feet. I am not ready for us to go public yet. I wouldn’t have told you if it weren’t for the letter.”
     
    “You wouldn’t have told me?” Megan asked offended.
     
    “Will and I wanted to tell you together.”
     
    Megan stopped her pout, touched by my words. “Okay I guess I can forgive the pair of you, but this other guy who is he?”
     
    “I really have no idea, but I think I need to speak to your brother.”
     
    “Can I come?”
     
    “I don’t think that is a good idea.” I knew Will had wanted to see Megan’s face first hand when we eventually told her.
     
    “You are no fun.” Megan pulled a sad face but knew I wouldn’t give in.
     
    “You do realise this other guy does not stand a chance against Will. He loves you too much. Will is never going to give you up now he knows you feel the same way.” Megan suddenly became serious as if she believed everything she was saying.
     
    “Megan, I am not sure how I feel about your brother yet. I like him. I mean I really like him , but it is difficult for me to let someone in so close. Sometimes it scares me.”
     
    “Will can wait. He knows you as well as me.” Megan beamed. “You know you really have to get over your abandonment issues at
