Dearest,
Violet.
It's been a week
since your last letter.
and it's been bothering me A LOT.
I've tried to hold myself back
from writing to you,
but I'm afraid of going insane
if I keep restraining myself.
are you really not going to write anymore?
Jesus Christ,
I don't know what's happening to me.
one minute I'm begging God
to rid me of a creepy stalker
that might be dangerous,
and the next I'm praying
so that she doesn't stop writing me letters.
I probably just miss hanging out with Tyler,
it's not the same anymore.
He's got you and I-
Well..
-I got myself.
And, Natalie,
but I'm afraid that since you mentioned
her obnoxious high pitched voice
I can't stop noticing it.
Sure she's still a good time,
(If you know what I mean)
but I'm getting really tired of her in school.
I'm starting to think she's even planning our wedding.
She'll cry blood when I break up with her.
I guess one more heart for my collection, huh?
I don't know maybe
I just need a good shag.
Perhaps Natalie can help with that in a bit.
But that'll have to wait since I'm not home.
You see, Violet,
before my dad died,
everyday after school
he would take me to this ice cream shop
and he would buy me ice cream.
He used to say that
we all needed a little "happiness"
in our life.
But one day he didn't take me for ice cream.
instead he took me to this deserted building,
I remember that we climbed ages of stairs
just to get to the roof.
And when we got there
he took my hand in his
and guided me to the edge.
We sat down with our feet dangling in the air
watching how the sky turned into different colors
and he told me to look
for that one girl
that made my hear beat rapidly in my chest,
my palms sweaty
and my words a slurred mess.
He said that
that was what it was all about
love and happiness.
Everything else didn't matter.
Not money,
Not the economy,
Not the social pyramid,
Not anything that matters to people now.
Maybe that's why I'm such an ass
because I miss him.
And that's not an excuse,
to treat people like shit
but lately I can't seem to be happy
except when I re-read your letters.
-Ryder.
(P.S about the staring....I can't promise that I'll stop anytime soon.)
(P.S.S it's been a week, c'mon. It's your turn to write me one now.)
