You Left | l.h.

31

As soon as we got home yesterday, I immediately took some sleeping pills and knocked out. Calum tried to comfort me, talk to me, everything really but I wouldn't let him. I was in one of those moods where I just wanted to be left alone.

I woke groggy, tear stained cheeks, probably had mascara all over them, my mouth was dry, this was worse than waking up with a hangover.

I was deciding on if I even wanted to bother getting out of bed or not but I decided I might as well. I pushed everything to the back of my mind and walked out of my room with a fake smile.

I ran into Calum in the kitchen, he gave me a skeptical look, everything silent for a few moments. Neither of us knew exactly what to say in this moment and for the first time in a long time, we were having awkward silence.

"I made your favorite breakfast," Calum began,

"Also, this letter was dropped by for you." He gave me a sympathetic look.

"I'll read it later." I mumbled, about to sit down.

"I think it'll ease your mind to read it now though, Evie."

"I'm going to go brush my teeth and read it then." I sighed, snatching the letter and walking away.

I looked at the envelop on my way back to my bathroom and it didn't have any to or from signatures on it so I quickly began ripping it open.

I placed it on the counter, getting out my toothbrush and toothpaste and putting a little toothpaste on my brush. I wet it then began brushing, picking up the long letter and beginning to read over it carefully.

Dear Evie,

High school is over and it hasn't taken me long to realize high school was not all about what I perceived it to be. It was not about popularity, who was the prettiest, could get the best guy, none of that. I was a horrible person in my high school years and I feel even more horrible talking about those years like they were ages ago when they were just weeks. I don't expect to be forgiven, I put a lot of people through a lot of shit. Especially you. I was jealous of you, jealous of the friendship you had with Luke, jealous of the way guys looked at you when you didn't even notice. Which is why I came up with a plan, a very evil one, but a plan at least. As you know, Luke was already partially friends with us, so it wasn't exactly hard to go about this since it wouldn't be suspicious of us to be around him. I basically threatened him and writing those words down make me cringe but they're nothing but the truth. I basically made him dump you or I would make your life hell, which looking back now, I already did, and made him swear not to say anything to anyone or I would make both of your lives hell. Evie, he stopped being your friend even though it killed him inside just so you wouldn't get hurt. We all know the ending of your friendship pained you, so once again, it was kind of pointless but girl, he'd do anything for you. The way he looks at you, my own parents don't even look at each other like that. Don't hate me, don't let your fairytale go to waste. It's not to late to fix this. I'm truly sorry for everything I have ever done to you, you won't hear from me again, I swear. Have an amazing life, God knows you deserve it after everything we've put you through. xx

I had stopped brushing my teeth after reading halfway through it, I was so speechless. I finally got my answers as to why Luke dumped me and it all made sense now.

I spit out my toothpaste and washed out my mouth before running out to Calum. I actually had a real smile on my face and I probably shouldn't have but I finally have my answers and I now know Luke didn't want to leave me at all, that's great news! He wasn't done with me, he was forced to be.

"You knew, didn't you?" I questioned quietly and he nodded, scared I would be mad.

"It's okay, Cal. Everything's going to be okay." I hugged him as tight as ever.

"Go get Em'" he whispered.

I pulled back, still smiling. I instantly ran off to my room to get dressed as quick as possible. Grabbing my car keys and heading out without looking back.

I drive as fast but safe as possible all the way to Luke's. I didn't have a single clue what my plan was but all I knew is that I could have my Luke back, I think?

I had jumped to the conclusion that he didn't at all want to end our friendship but what if he did? Now I was starting to doubt myself and I hated it so I pushed it away and figured we'd find out when we got there.

I sat in his parking lot for a moment, breathing in and out and recollecting myself before walking up the starts to his apartment exactly. I went to knock multiple times but always pulled back before finally doing it.

"Who is-Eves?" Luke questioned confused.

I'm quite sure the blonde boy was even more confused when I started hugging him for dear life but I didn't care in this moment.

"I thought you'd never talk to me again." He whispered, I could hear the hurt in his voice.

I pulled back, looking him in the eyes before handing him the letter. He furrowed his brows, taking the letter from me. He only read a few sentences and I guess that's all he needed to to understand what was going on before he was hugging me again.

"Finally. I have you back, finally." He whispered in my ear before I pulled back and connected our lips.
