texts in italics are a note!

juliet lie in her bed, linny lying on her lap as juliet petted her, the room silent other than the gilmore girls introduction sound in the background. she had been staring into space for an hour straight, thinking about everything. why her parents didn't love her, why other kids got to have good parents, why she had to get such a shitty pair of parents, why matt didn't love her, why matt ghosted her, why she wasn't over matt yet. all the thoughts flooded her mind, thoughts her brain wasn't able to process. she had been overwhelming herself with questions to the point where she started to cry. she didn't know why, out of all the boys or girls she had dated, she was crying over matt. but matt was special, he was the special-est.

before she was able to throw a pillow at her television, there were knocks on her door. she groaned before getting up and walking towards the front door and opening it.

and there he stood, matt sturniolo, in boston. the boy who she was crying about not even two minutes ago was standing in front of her. she wanted to jump into his arms immediately, but she couldn't give in that easily. plus the man had like five things in his hands.

"matt," juliet says, looking between his left and right eye, "what are you doing here?"

"here," matt hands her a note, "read it. please just, read it. it only takes five minutes."

juliet hesitates before unfolding the half-folded paper, her eyes scanning over it.

'dear jj,

i am standing in front of you at the front door of your house when i give you this letter and i am more nervous than nervous. i traveled six hours to be able to apologize to you, and you may not forgive me, but i'll do anything to have you again. i'll stay in boston for a year if that's what it's gonna take. you probably think that i dont like you anymore, that i dont love you anymore. you're wrong. you're totally, and completely, wrong. i love you so much it drives me crazy sometimes. kicking my feet crazy. you're so kind and sweet and i hate that i broke your heart. i hate myself for doing that. i let my fear and overthinking get the best of me, even when i shouldn't have. my brain was telling me that long distance wasn't gonna work, meanwhile my heart kept telling me that everything was going to work out as long as i have you. and of course, i had to listen to the voices in my head. because as much as i hate listening to them, i can't control it. i've realized my mistakes, i've gotten some sense knocked into me by everyone. my head is now screwed on straight. i don't plan on hurting you ever again, i don't want to hurt you. i'd do anything for you, even if it means if i'm putting myself at risk. if you tell me to block someone, i'll block them, if you tell me to move to boston, i'll move to boston, if you tell me to rob a bank, i'll rob a bank, if you tell me that you want me to buy you the whole damn world, i'll buy you the whole world and more. you're one of the only people i have, and one of the people who i cant lose. i can not live without you. you're my forever, you're my everything. i truly believe that you're my soulmate. i know this all started out as me having a silly social media crush on you, but it grew. my heart grows for you every single day. so when i say that i am so sorry for how i treated you after you left, i mean it. you didn't deserve the hurt i caused you. the only question left is, will you forgive me?

love, benny.'

juliet smiles softly at the letter, folding it again. matt stood there anxiously, bouncing his leg up and down. he forgets that he has a small bouquet of lillies in his hand, once he realizes that he does, he pushes his hand forward slightly, indicating juliet to take them.
