Dear Forsythe,
I decided to leave, if that's not already obvious. Probably would've wanted me gone too. I'll never forget the pain that I held onto while I was with you, the pain I tried to rationalize for your behavior. But Betty wouldn't do that, right?
Maybe it was the interests I had? I preferred performing with Arch and Josie, I liked to go out with friends and spread positivity to lighten up others days. You claimed that's what I did with you, that I made you happier but did I? You were introverted, you liked to sit in a booth at Pop's by yourself sending death glares to anyone who would dare look at you as if it was some kind of crime. I'd try bringing you out, let you try something different but you accused me of pushing you out of your comfort zone. Betty wouldn't do that, right?
I'll never forget the day that you finally snapped! You threw insults at me like they were bowling bowls and I was the pins. That positivity that you helped me gain, the happiness, the optimism, just to come crashing down and sinking to my knees. For those feelings to be replaced with the ones I was once familiar with when my parents left. I talked back, I don't hold back. I'll call you out on your bullshit lies that you tried to root into my brain only for compliments to bloom out of my mouth. Betty wouldn't do that.
Maybe it was when Reggie pulled that stunt? He said something shitty about you, I wasn't going to let that happen. Boom, square in the jaw. Blood trickling down from his mouth running over his lips, instead of a "thanks y/n!" or any appreciation you stood up for him? "Violence doesn't solve anything." Yeah, right! Just like when you beat the shit out of Penny Peabody and skinned her of her serpent tattoo? Or when you and your father stripped Tallboy of his jacket? Or my favorite! When you clocked Chuck in the face for saying something about Betty. Betty.
It hurts really fucking bad you know that? Watching my boyfriend stand up for anyone else but his own girlfriend. Quirky relationship right? So I'll save you the trouble and just leave. Don't contact me.
- Y/N.
