call me crazy

~

Dear Asher,

A week after the stalker news went around, I still really like you. I should hate you, loath you for making a fool of me. Sure, no one knows who the stalker is but the fact that you reacted like that to my notes discourages me. Makes me feel like I should like you any more.

But life doesn't work like that. Wr can't chose who we fall for and we can't get rid of our feeling so easily. Maybe it we had a switch.

But would I turn off my feelings for you? Call me crazy but I think, no. I think I would let them stay because maybe I kind of like liking you. It's hopeless and sad but I honestly can't recall a time when I fell and someone was there to catch me.

Love, Emerald

      "IT WAS HER?" A VOICE ASKS behind me once I finish reading. "She was your alleged stalker? And I didn't even know?"

      Rhea walks over to the side of the bed and holds Emerald's hand. I watch, scared of what she'll do next because she might just start yelling at me. I did call her best friend my stalker.

      I nervously wall over to the bed and rub her back as Rhea frowns. She looks so sad and small, and I understand her pain too much. I might not know Emerald as much as Rhea does but I want her to wake up more than I want anything at this money.

      "Do her parents like?" I ask, suddenly but the thought has been lingering in my brain for the past hours.

      "Why don't you go on and read the next letter?" Rhea ignores my question and says. "We dont have too much time."

      With that, she turns back to Emerald and brushes some hear out of her own forehead which is still red from the running, probably.

      I want to question her but I might as well keep that thought aside. There's probably a reason she doesn't want to talk about her parents.
