I look at the letter in astonishment. "Who..." I mumble, confusion etched all over my features, as I sit down near the window, the letter right in front of me.

I take a few moments to take the wrinkled paper into my thoughts, knowing I should open it soon, and wondering of how long it's been sitting by my window.

After what seems like ages of watching the motionless letter in front of me, I take it into my hands, and start to slowly, yet neatly open it.

Once the piece of paper is out of its confinement, which was the envelope, I unfold the paper, and begin reading the slightly familiar handwriting.

               Hi, Brooke. I'm shit at putting the right words together on paper, so I'm just gonna lay this out here. I know you have been avoiding me, and such, but I just really want to explain myself to you, so hopefully we can sort whatever we have going on, out. I hope this letter reaches you, because I set it outside your window, not wanting to disturb anyone, especially yourself. If you want to talk sometime, you know where to find me :)
All the love, -H.

I look at the page I just read over and over again, and instantly feel guilty. Uhg, why couldn't I have just told him that I like him, why am I so problematic? I better talk to him..

"Where to find him?" I ask out loud, trying so hard to think of where he wanted me to meet him, if I wanted.

And then it clicked.

The hidden river. Where we had our first kiss not that long ago.

Feeling as if I had no time to spare, I bolted up, quickly changing into something other than my pajamas. Finally ready, I gripped the letter tightly in my hand, as I head for the front door.

"Trent. I'm taking your car. I'll be home soon." I called before opening the door.

"You better put gas, you fool." he yelled from his room. I grinned, and made a mental note to get gas after I talk to Harry.

I quickly hopped in the mf porsche (ik im funny ok) and thought of what I had to say, and what he had to say.

I had to apologize. For everything. For avoiding him. For ruining what obviously happened between us. And the worst part: for pushing away what he had to say about it.

God, I'm such a dumb fuck.

Finally reaching my destination, I parked near the small pharmacy. Getting out of the car, I almost sprinted toward the tattered gate that was not far away.

As I approached the gate, I realized that it was more damaged than it was the last time I came here, and I wondered why that was.

Not thinking much of it, I rush through the tall trees and soon find myself near the high cliff he made me jump off what seems like not that long ago. And where we shared our kiss at the bottom.

Feeling my cheeks heat up from the memory, I look around and I don't see anyone or anything, which makes me frown.

I thought this was it. He must've meant something else. How am I supposed to know. I guess I'll just have to run into him when I do...

A few moments later, I find myself walking back to my brother's car, an upset emotion etched into my mind, wishing that I could've talked to him.

I quietly set the letter on my dash, turning the ignition to the sound of the vehicle starting up, as I drive back home, not finding a way to stop thinking about what could've happened.

Why am I feeling like this?

HEY GUYS! I AM SUPER SORRY THAT I HAVEN'T UPDATED IN LIKE 7 YEARS, BUT YEAH. SCHOOL STARTED LAST WEEK AND I REALLY WANTED TO MAKE THE BEST OF MY SUMMER. I KNOW THAT THERE IS NO EXCUSE WORTH YOUR TIME FOR MY ABSENCE AND I AM SORRY AGAIN FOR NOT UPDATING.
