I open up the door carefully and notice that Edward is not home so I race up the stairs (being careful not to step on a beer bottle.) and flew open my door to my room. Then I very carefully open the card up and start reading.
"Dear my dearest Kendra,
When I saw you walking to a new place, I saw a very timid and shy girl that had no idea where she was in the world. Then when I talked to you, you seemed so different. You had a smile and a brightness to you that I could not believe when I saw who the real Kendra was. Now I noticed that once Edward is around you hide... you remove yourself and become so distant and to see that happen to you so quickly, it breaks my heart. Now I know that we have not know each other for long but I can tell you that something in me is telling me to not let you go... And I know now that I do not want to. You are amazing and beautiful Kendra, inside and out. Please don't shy away. I want to help you in anyway that I can to get you out of there and under my protection because no girl should have to live with that monster. Now please, don't leave me okay? Please stay... because you already mean a lot to me. I hope you know that... I love you Kendra. I really truly do. And I mean every word that I have said right here and right now.
Sincerely yours truly,
Jerid"
I start to cry for the first time in years. I never really knew what love was because no one has ever showed me. I open my curtain hoping to see Jerid in his room. But when I look, he is no where to be found. I let out a very hard sigh and head back to my bed. But weirdly as soon as I sat down something hit my window. And knowing how curious I am now I walk over and look to see what it could be. I turn and smile, of course it was Jerid.
He motions for me to open my window, in which I do.
"Hey there Juliet, did you read it?"
"Like I wouldn't?" I laugh and try to hide my smile.
"I am glad, I thought you would." He winked at me and I just could not contain my smile. "And if you didn't know, I do mean everything that I said in that letter." And this time he was the one hiding his smile. And oh man, did that smile just make me melt!
"Well... then if you said how you feel then I guess that it is my turn?"
"Only if you want."
"Here goes nothing I guess!" I let out a laugh but that was very short lived...
