YOUR CRUSH

Dear Jake Bennington,

My god, you are one of the most perfect beings to have ever walked this earth and sadly I'm not the only female who thinks so as well.

Every day as I watch you walk down the halls with the girls you, Adelina and I used to hate when we were children I always began to feel the emotions you have caused me.

All the anger, love, hate, sadness, confusion, embarrassment, hurt, happiness all attacked me at once until the next second I went numb. I went numb from all the emotions you have caused me to feel throughout the years and I never did get my answer up until 5 days when you decided to pull me to the side and explain. All this before I wrote this letter and met my new best friend a rope, but that story is meant for another time.

For years I would ask; is there a possible chance you like me back? Is there a possible chance we could live happily ever after like the books? If you do reject me can we stay friends and continue to be the town's 3 stooges?

But after time all those questions were answered. There was no possible chance for you to like be back. There was no possible chance for us to live a happily ever after like the books. But was stung the most was when I confessed 4 months ago and you said 6 sentences 4 months later that sent apart of my world crumbling down.

"Just so you know I don't like you back. Like really? You like me? My god a pathetic, wimp loser likes me? If anybody found out about this I'd so be ruined. Stay away from me you freak."

Then you left.

You left me.

You left me to think about those awful words you have said, little did you now those words would send me down this path.

At that time I was filled to the brim with happiness, always smiling and enjoying the day with Adelina and you by my side. It was always blissful. But those words destroyed all we have worked for, those words destroyed all the memories we built that we were going to share with our children.

Just because you couldn't let your reputation be damaged.

That was only 3 months ago too. Adelina and you would still converse like old times but we became a little bit drifted. That was until I told Adelina everything, down to the last detail.

She was livid with anger towards you.

I told her on a Thursday so when the Friday that followed she made it her goal to track you down. During lunch, I remember sitting at my usual spot waiting for her to arrive when all of a sudden everything went quiet. I looked up to where everyone was looking and saw you at the front with a fire in your eyes and a death glare towards Jake and all he did was look at you confused.

You walked up to him and everyone watched you intently, waiting for your next move. Before anyone could register anything, you grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and sent your fist flying to his face.

No one moved a muscle, not even me when I knew the exact reason why you did it but of course Jake was oblivious.

"You bitch! What the fuck was that for you slut?"

All he did was fuel your anger.

"You fucking know why!"

You could have been considered a wolf with the growl that emitted from your chest. You walked away from him and towards me, grabbed my hand and pulled me out of the cafeteria. Before we made our exit I turned to look at you once more. Your eyes held regret and guilt until they flashed with disgust and anger.

Disgust and anger for me.

For the rest of our time, you would send death glares towards Adelina and I. Adelina would always return them and mutter profanities under her breath while I casted my gaze elsewhere.

Now, I'm quite glad I made a new best friend in just a time span of 8 minutes. His name is rope. He hated you as well, he hates everyone for putting me through too much so he decided to give me a gift, a rope necklace that hung to my curtain rod. He was glad that my gift could get me away from all the pain and misery you put me through along with everyone else.

But I do wonder what are you feeling now?

Is there anything you regret?

Are there any actions you would take back?

Was there a possible chance for us to remain the 3 stooges if only you never said those harsh words.

But there is one thing I want you to know before I end this letter,

I always did love you.

But now it's too late.

Yours forever, Veronica
