Delani's P.O.V
"Are you sure you don't want to go out and do anything?" Maribeth asks again.
"Yes, I'm fine. I just want to lay down and watch Netflix."
"But honey it's your birthday," she says sadly.
"I know, but I'm exhausted and I just want to relax. Plus I don't feel like doing anything special."
"But--"
"I don't want to do anything! Can you just leave me alone and let me be!" I yell.
Her eyes widen and she walks out of my room and closes the door.
I close my eyes and sigh heavily.
Why couldn't she just leave me alone?
I fall back on my bed and instantly wince.
What the hell.
I get up and turn around and look at my bed.
There's a shit load of stuff on my bed and balloons everywhere and flowers.
Why didn't I notice this when I walked in?
I look through the items in my bed.
Gummy bears.
Snickers.
Sour patch kids.
Skittles (green bag).
White chocolate Hershey's.
Almonds.
Dr. Pepper.
Jupina.
Takis and hot fries.
Shit load of perfumes, lotions, and body wash.
Clothes. Actually comfy clothes; sweat pants, sweat shirts.
And a new pair of nikes?
I see this box and grab it noticing an envelope sticked to it.
I rip off the envelope and open it taking out what I'm guessing a letter.
Dear my beautiful Delani Marie Sullivan, I just want to wish you a happy birthday. This wasn't the actual letter I was planning on giving you on your birthday. But because of the situation, I ripped the other one and wrote this one down last night while you were sleeping. But besides the fact, I know you don't want to hear-- well read this but I'm begging you to just read it all through. I am so fucking sorry for what I did. And I know that sounds like straight bullshit, because of what I've done. But I regret it every single second of the day. I never wanted to hurt you, the thought of hurting you kills me. And to know that I did hurt you, hurts me tremendously. I know you don't forgive me, or trust me, I honestly don't expect you to. But I'm hoping and praying that you do still forgive me, and somehow trust me again. I know it's going to be hard, so I'm not going to rush you. I'm going to let you take your time, I don't care how long it take I'll still be here waiting for you.
I know what it feels like to be hurt by someone you love. I do, I've experienced it. And I promised myself that I wouldn't let you go trough that pain. I promised myself that I would always keep you happy. And right now I've broken them both. But I promise to get things back to the way they were before. When we were happy together and in love. I may have broken all those other promises, but I'm determined to keep this one. Because, without you I have nothing. I love you so much.
