Karl...

She told me in the morning that she doesn't feel the same about us in her bones,I detest my decision for making her choose,I wasn't thinking but she understood where she came from..I still have hope for her,for us,I wish I could turn back time and let her go.

The saddest part about it was that I had to say goodbye to someone I wanted to spend the rest of my life with.Everyday I'm starting to realize your decision was the better option.It still hurts to leave a light on for nobody. I still write to her,everyday I'll be here,for her.

Delilah...

I wake up at the sound of my panicky alarm blaring throughout the dark almost empty room.I shot up and searched my bed frantically patting down every inch of the soft warm fabric.It's kind of ironic how I searched everywhere but my bedside table.There it sat facing down,small bits of light emitting from the edges of the phone screen.

I groan and turn off the alarm,I painfully get out of bed as I close my eyes not by choice.I barely got any sleep last night.At least I finished my college essay,I went to sleep around 4 am,I hate that I waited till last minute to even start it.At least I got it done and that's all that matters.I got dressed by putting on the first thing I laid my eyes on.

I put on a brown patterned over sized sweater sort of tucked into my high waisted jeans.I slip on some black velvet boots.I finally top it off with a simple black belt.I gather my things and don't bother to clean my room because i'm too lazy to.

I went downstairs and sat at the kitchen island.

"Good morning,how'd you sleep" He asked as I walked up to him for a side hug.

"Honestly,not great I stayed up till like 4 am finishing that stupid essay" I said massaging my temples.

"Hmm I'm sorry if it makes you feel better I made your favorite" He says pushing a plate full of food in front of me.

"Thanks you really know how to make me feel better" I say before partake in said breakfast.

"Sooo is Matt coming over or are you guys going out" I ask as I put my phone down.

"Well..he said that he was going to take me on a date but it's a surprise" he says with his eyes full of excitement.

"ooouu tell me EVERYTHING afterwards I'll be here because I have nothing better to do" I say looking back down at my almost finished plate.

I was the first one he told,I felt so honored afterwards I encouraged him to tell his parents,they were very supportive of him.I was beyond proud,They absolutely LOVED Matt.He was basically my second best friend.He's so sweet and amiable towards Toby,I've always dreamed of having a relationship like there's.

I didn't notice that I spaced out for a hot minute before I felt a shake on my shoulder.

"Hey are you okay? You spaced out for a second there" He said as he turned his full undivided attention toward me.

"Oh I'm fine just..thinking" I say as I continue the last bit of my food.I could tell he knew I was lying,He knows me better than anyone I mean he is my best friend for a reason.
