a letter to you | e.d

letter nine

hailey,

i still have your ring.
i kept it after all of this time.

but i don't want it anymore.

it was the only thing i had left,
the engagement ring that i never got to see
on your finger.

but i saw one on your finger today,
when you and grayson announced your engagement to me and my whole family.

it was laughable.

because maybe i wasn't actually at fault?
in fact, i wasn't.

writing to you has made me realise that it wasn't me.

it was all you.

it was all of your wrong doings,
i did everything right.

i loved you the way anyone would dream of being loved, and i gave you everything i possibly could.

if that wasn't enough for you,
then that isn't my problem.
that's yours.

and it's your fault,
the way that you tackled that problem.

you cheated on me with my twin brother,
several times, for what?

for the satisfaction of seeing me heartbroken, seeing me alone, with no one?
well, i hope you're satisfied.

this is my final letter to you, hailey,
and i hope you're feeling guilty.
i hope that when both you and grayson read this together, like you usually do, you feel everything that i have felt.

because one day, it's going to come back to you, and hit you like a ton of bricks.

you'll feel everything that i felt because of you, but it'll be because of him. the person you risked it all for.

and i'll enjoy watching it unfold on the sidelines.

you'll feel everything that i no longer feel,
because in the long run, what you and my brother did so selfishly, has proved one thing.

i may have had an amazing life with you in it, but my life without you has only just begun.

and it's going to be fucking incredible.
