dear sophie,
i wish you would love me back
sincerely,
michael
sophie and michael were best friends from the start and till the end, they said. until he fucked it up with one saying. 'i love you.' she knew he didn't mean it in a friendly way, and it freaked her out. 'michael,' she had said, 'i love you too, but as a friend. i have to go.' and that's when the boy's world tumbled and crumbled to the ground, and so did his heart.
he had told himself multiple times to 'man-the-fuck-up and get over it', but he couldn't. sophie was pinned in his heart, and not leaving anytime soon. he called her, multiple times, telling her he was sorry and he didn't mean it, multiple times. she never answered once all of them going straight to voice mail.
'please answer,' he pleaded after all his sorrys. he never left the house, he rarely ever left his room. his mother was getting quite upset with him and his 'depressive attitude', and told him multiple times that it was time to get up and move on. and all he ever did was get up, grab his newly written letter to sophie, hand it to her, and shut the door in her face.
before all this, michael had fun with sophie. it's all he ever thought about. sophie, sophie, sophie, sophie. they went to the movies, amusement parks, the zoo, the beach, parties, and all you could ever think of. he was lucky summer had started just a few weeks before this, or he would have to face sophie and everyone at school. sophie on the other hand, was doing just fine, or everyone thought she was.
