Life As Melanie

Chapter 48

After I dropped Naomi off at school I checked myself out early. I couldn't take another hour of being away from Jamal! I need to run to the house first before I go to the hospital.

*parks car in driveway & walks into house*

Me: *yells* Ma you home?

*nobody answers*

Well, I guess she hasn't made it home yet. I should've expected that anyway it's only 1:25. I just needed to change into something more comfortable since I'm gonna be at the hospital all day.

*walks up stairs into room*

Sweats it is! *throws purse on bed & letter falls out*

I'm really curious to know what Misty wrote me, but at the same time I'm trying to convince myself to be too stubborn to even care!

*picks letter up & opens it*

Dear Melanie,

I know you're probably thinking why is this girl even writing me? Why won't she just leave me alone? I know, but I just wanted to say I'm really sorry for what I've done to you. I would've never done those stupid things if I knew it was gonna cost me to lose you. Melanie I really am sorry! I looked up to you that's why I wanted the things you have so bad! I've never felt what it feels to be loved. I've never felt genuine love from a significant other. I have my mom & I love her to death, but she could never feel in the empty space daddy created when he left. Even though he's back into my life it still doesn't make up for all of the lost time he has missed! It's like we're strangers trying to get to know each other. The reason why I got so close to you is because I knew you could relate & understand what I was feeling. Melanie you're a great friend, a loyal friend, and a beautiful sister I've never had! Even with the feelings you hide inside you never let them stop you from smiling. I wanted to learn your secret & how you do it. Melanie I know you might not ever speak to me again & trust me I don't blame you! I all wanted you to know is I love you, you made me feel loved, complete, happy, but most importantly you gave me a chance to have a sister I've always dreamed of. Goodbye Melanie...I hope you accept my apology.

Love,

Misty

OMG, Did she really just say all of those things about me? That was one of the sweetest things I've ever read in my whole entire life! Have I been too harsh on Misty? My mind is all over the place right now. I don't even know what to say! Let me just get to Jamal first, then maybe I'll get my mind clear enough to think straight at least.
