Dear Autumn,
I honestly thought you'd ignore me because of my confession. But you didn't. I think that's because I'm the only one here for you.
I'm kind of happy about that though.
Because Autumn, you are broken now. Like me, but in a different sense. You smile to hide your pain. I don't.
I guess that makes you stronger than me. But then again, you always were.
The only thing that's unusual now is that you look at me differently. Ever since that day, I haven't spoken one word.
But I think you know now. You know that I'm August. The boy you used to love.
(That is, if you were even saying the truth).
But now I know.
I know why you cried.
You told me yesterday. It was afterschool again, and you were reading a book on one of the school's benches. You were looking sad, your eyes full of tears again.
So I came up to you and sat right beside you. I thought that maybe something unexpected happened in the book you were reading
So I gently took it out of your hand. And then I read the pages you were staring at.
I was still confused. So I asked you what was wrong.
And then you started crying, but this time, silently.
I tried comforting you, but I didn't understand.
And then you said five little words that crashed down my world:
"That's what happened to Ryan."
And then I started crying too.
I'm so sorry,
August
