dear Em,

Austin came to my house today, he looked like he was about to collapse.

me: oh my gosh. what happened?

Austin: it's Maelyn..she-she left. She left me. and this state..

me: she just left you, like that.

he came and sat by me on the couch.

Austin: yeah. she did.

i leaned over and squeezed him.

me: when did this happen?

Austin: four days ago.

he squeezed back.

me: i'm so sorry..

Austin: you know, i like you.

me: i like you too.

Austin: no. i like you-like you.

i let go. and looked straight at him. all these years i thought it was you. the one he liked. but it is me. and all these years i thought it was just me with the feeling.

me: Austin, i do too.

and he leaned over.

and kissed me.
