"LESSI, you have a letter from your lover girl," marissa says appearing at my door waving an envelope in her fingers.
i roll my eyes at her, closing the book in front of me and reaching my hand out for the envelope.
she places the card in my hand plopping down next to me, i raise my eyebrow at her.
"what are you doing" i ask, she gasps dramatically placing a hand on her chest.
"i wanna see what lover girl wrote you so i can mock her next time i see her, duh" i laugh and lightly shove her off my bed.
"that was abuse ms.martinez, i could charge you for that" she jokes from her spot on the floor.
"get out" i laugh throwing a pillow at her, she scrambles to avoid it walking back to he door.
"don't forget in an hour we're meeting mom and dad for dinner" i nod and she shuts the door.
i pick up the letter and smile, paige always wrote me little notes for my locker or letters because she knew i loved them.
every note and letter she wrote was put into a shadowbox i owned so i could see them whenever i wanted and so i could display how perfect my girlfriend is.
i opened the pink envelope, pulled out the white piece of paper, and began reading it.
"alessia,
im breaking up with you. we both knew this was coming, we would never work out being so far away from each other. we aren't a real relationship, you were just a high school fling, something casual even. a way to pass the time. im starting a new chapter of my life, one that doesn't need someone like you in it.
being realistic we wouldn't last in the real world, you arent an important part of my life that i want beyond a stupid high school fling. i guess you could say i just got bored of you and now im moving on to bigger things. things that don't involve you.
you just have so many problems that i don't want to bring me down while im trying to focus on basketball and my future.
i don't want to see you whenever i come back, i don't want to hear from you after you read this. by the time you do I'll be on a plane far far away from you and whatever this was, don't wait up for me because ill never come back for you.
you were a cool experience for a while, hope there's no hard feelings.
-paige"
i can feel the tears burning my eyes as a muffle my sobs, not wanting riss or shelby to hear me.
i reread the letter over and over again trying to comprehend what i just read and how paige could be so cruel.
how could she?
i cant hold my sobs in anymore as they tumble out of my mouth, loud and painful.
my chest feels like its caving in, my throat closing up, my head dizzy, my eyes burn filled with unshead tears.
why would she do this?
did she really mean i wasn't important to her?
why would she do this?
is she really breaking up with me in a letter?
why would she do this?
why?
how?
thoughts and insecurities swirl inside my head as i continued to sob and shake.
i couldn't breathe, the weight of pa-her words sitting on my chest.
so lost in my own head i didn't hear shelby burst in and run to my side, pulling me into her.
"RISSA, RISS CALL MOM AND DAD" i can barely hear her yelling, my ears ringing with all the words i had just read.
"hey lessi honey you need to breathe, match my breathing come on please" she places my hand on her chest, trying to get me to calm down.
it doesn't work, the weight still sitting on my chest, the feeling of drowing swallowing me whole.
"shelbs whats going on- LESSI" rissa says peaking in my room trying to figure out why shelby had yelled for her before she had seen me.
"riss please call mom and dad she needs us" shelby begs, still trying to help me.
riss yanks her phone out calling her mom.
"lessi i know you're upset and i want to help, you need to calm down first so i can understand what happened" it sounds like whispers over my mix of sobbing and gasping for air.
"mom you and dad need to come home now- no somethings wrong with lessi" rissas pacing back and forth trying to explain.
why.
why.
why.
why.
why.
no matter how many times i ask the question i can't figure out why she would do this.
how she could do this.
"lessi please you have to breathe, you're ok, whatever happened you're ok, just follow after me ok?" shelby says, this time i try to match her breathing.
"there you go, in and out, in and out, good" she smiles sadly at me as rissa sits to the other side of me gently running her hand up and down my back.
after a couple minutes of this i had fully been able to calm down, minus the tears still slipping from my eyes.
"what happened less," shelby asks and a shakily point to the letter sat in front of me.
rissa looks confused picking up the letter.
"the letter paige wrote you?" she asks, furrowing her brows.
"read it" i whisper out, shoving my head in shelbys shoulder, refusing to read it again.
shelby wraps her arms around me tighter as she and rissa read.
"oh lessi im so sorry sweetheart" she presses a kiss to my forehead, gently cradling the back of my head.
"im gonna kill that little blonde bitch, who does she think she fucking is" rissa stands up, marching to the door.
"don't rissy, shes not worth it," shelby says coaxing her sister back to the bed.
rissa comes back to my side, grabbing my hand in hers.
the two sisters holding me while i cried all night.
