LETTER GIRL (KathBie)

Chapter 9: Changing Everything

I arrived at school with Albie and everything was as peachy keen as can be. Who knew that this would be the day that would change everything. 

My classes went by quickly but for some reason I didn't see Albie at all. Worry was all I could do during my classes. In fact I didn't talk to anyone that day because I was so preoccupied. 

Finally I caught a glimpse of Albie but he was talking to Andi in what seemed like a serious conversation so I hid behind a pillar and listened in. 

"Albie...don't worry about it. I forgive you.", Andi said sweetly. 

"Man I was so stupid.", Albie said said while kicking the ground in frustration.

Andi then tucked a strand of albie's hair behind his ear and said, "Who new someone would play with your feelings like that?"

Albie looked up with eyes with pure hatred and said, "Whoever this letter girl is...I don't care if it's someone I really care about. All I know is that at this moment I hate her."

Tears started to form in my eyes as I ran away as fast as I could. I didn't care if I had three more classes left all I had on my mind was the fact that Albie hated me. 

Later that night I did what I thought was right...I waited for Albie on his doorstep because I knew he went out with Andi.

After an hour of waiting Albie showed up on the doorstep.

I looked at him with sad eyes and I knew he sensed that something was wrong. I wanted to speak but I couldn't so I just sat there glaring at Albie.

Finally Albie sat down by me and stroked my back.

At that I sobbed into his shoulders and cried my eyes out. 

I could tell Albie was confused. I could tell he wanted to know why. But all I could do was sob until Albie pulled me out of his embrace. 

"What's wrong Kath??? Can you please tell me?", Albie asked pleading eyes. 

This was it..the moment of truth. 

"I...I...I...wrote it.", I said slurring my words.

Albie just looked at me with disbelief. 

"I'm sorry...that you hate me..I overheard everything...what you said to Andi..."

Albie than took two letters out of his pocket and said, "You wrote these?"

"These? I only wrote one.", I said. 

Albie than looked at me with eyes filled with a mixture of intense emotions as he opened the door and said the words that broke my heart into a thousand pieces. 

"I don't think we can be friends anymore. Goodbye Kathryn."

At that he slammed the door in my face. The door shut me out of his world, out of his dreams and hopes, out of his life, and out of his heart. 

I stood there dumbfounded for awhile with my eyes glued to the door until reality finally struck me. 

Not only did Albie not love me like I love him..but now he didn't even want to be friends with me. I blew it. I really did. 

I ran home that night and rushed up to my bedroom despite of the pleas from my mother to stay. 

I locked my bedroom door tight and I walked around my room observing my possesions and something struck me hard. My room is all filled with things from Albie. I need to get rid of everything. 

At that I took an empty box and started to fill it with things. 

I spent an hour that night just doing that and by the time I was finished my room seemed so empty. Such a large part of me was now gone.
