Letters to Corrine

Letter 9

Dear Corrine,

I laughed today. After so long. The feeling was almost foreign... It felt so good. Almost like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. I didn't need you to be happy, I had friends who cared about me. Friends I could count on. Friends who were not you. I actually went home smiling. That is... Until I saw you. You were much happier than I was.

And as selfish as it makes me, I resented you for it. I didn't want you to be happy. I wanted to see that you missed me. I wanted you to feel the pain I felt. I know, so selfish. But I'm only human... And I bleed when I fall down. And I fell... for you.

Love,
Allie.
