Love Letters

"Stop, wait!" Evan says grabbing Emma's wrist. She looked back at him with dryed tears on her cheeks and new ones starting in her eyes. "You lied. You were my friend. Key word 'WERE'!!!" She said pulling free from his grip. "I'm sorry. I don't know what else to say." He says tears swelling into his eyes. "I'm sorry." "Your sorry? Why would you do that to me? It's been 5 mounths! You should have told me when I told you I was getting love letters. I told you after I got the first one. If you told me that day, I wouldn't be angry like I am now!'' She said her voice shaking. Tears kept streaming down her face. ''I know I should have told you I-I just didn't know how.'' Evan says. A rush of rage goes threw her. ''You just say, 'Hey Emma, you know Eddie, the boy who's sending you love letters? That's me!' You couldn't say that?'' Emma asks scolding at him. ''No I just-'' ''Did you get enjoyment out of this?'' She says cutting Evan off. ''Did you get a laugh out of this? Was Brent and Kyle laughing at me while you wrote the letters? Was it funny to lead me on like that? I bet the best part was me telling you about it while you knew there was no Eddie, it was just you.'' She spat out the words at him. At first, Evan had hurt in his eyes but then, they filled with anger. ''You don't get it, do you?'' He asks. ''Get what?'' Emma says as she starts pacing around her room. ''Yeah, maybe it was under another name but, what I said in those letters are real feelings.'' He said. Emma scoffs. ''Yeah? I'm supposed to believe that? You've been lying to me for 5months. Why should I believe you now!?'' Emma walks to the door and, opens it for him to leave. ''Because I love you!'' Evan blurts out. Emma closes the door and turns around with her eyes wide with shock. ''What?'' She asks, her voice cracking. ''I'm in love with you.'' He says again. She slowly steps toward him. ''For how long?'' She says. He doesn't answer her. ''I asked you, how long?''She demands with clenched teeth and tears still streaming down her face. ''Since 7th grade.'' He says with his face down. Emma's face relaxes. She goes in front of him and lifts his face up so he's eyes are looking at hers. She pushes his blond hair back. ''I was angry because you lied to me.'' She says. ''I know but-'' ''Let me finish.'' She cuts him off again. ''I was also scared too because, you said all those nice things and, when you told me you were Eddie I was scared because, I didn't know if you meant what you said in the letters. I'm glad you mean it because,'' she leans in. They're noses slightly touching and she whispers, ''I love you too.'' Their lips touch and, they kiss.
