Tristan's POV

Dear Ella,

I stopped by your place today

I knocked

No one answered.

You live alone I suppose

I let myself in with the key under the rug outside your apartment door

You were having a seizure

I didn't know what to do, so I picked you up and ran towards the hospital

I know I don't exactly like you, but I'm not someone who leaves when someone else can die.

I've lost one person already

I wouldn't be able to handle if I let someone else die when I knew I could have prevented it.

You began to gasp for air and looked up

Your eyes rolled to the back of your head and your body tensed as I held you closer

You snuggled into my chest

I don't hate you Ella, I'm sorry

Please don't die on me.

You began to speak to me

"T..Tristan?" I don't think you've ever spoken to me or let alone anyone else in this damned school

Your voice was soft and fragile.

We made it into the hospital as I checked you in.

Please forgive me Ella.. I don't hate you.

I'm just afraid to trust you.

What if you left like everyone else?

I don't want to put myself in a situation where I can get hurt again..

I'm sorry

-Tristan
