Later that night Jack came over.
"Hey, Come in." I said.
"No I can't."
"Okay, why not? Whats wrong?"
"Look we need to break up."
"What?"
"Yeah. I'm sorry. Here, this explains it all."
I was rendered speechless.
He hugged me.
"Good bye."
I stood there, and broke down into tears.
I opened the note.
Dear Alex,
I hate you so much. I will never love you. Your so ugly. You are the worst person I have ever met. You will never be beautful to me. I never cared you. I hate your hair. I hate your eyes. I hate your smile. I hate you! So please don't talk to me . Just remember that.
From,
Jack
Suddenly I felt my heart drop out of my chest. I ran inside to my room and slammed the door.
"Alex!! Stop slamming the door." Connor said.
He came up to see what happened.
"What's wrong?"
I threw the letter at him.
"I'm going to beat his ass. "
"No, Connor don't"
"Too late" and with that, he was out the door.
Connor pulled up to Jacks house. He knocked and Jack answered the door. Connor lifted him and pinned him to the wall.
"WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?!?!?!?!?! YOU BROKE HER HEART SO NOW IM GOING TO BREAK YOUR FACE."
"WOAH!!! WAIT!!"
"WHY SHOULD I?!?!?"
"LET ME EXPLAIN."
"You have 2 minutes. GO"
" Peyton's ex-boyfriend likes Alex, so he blackmailed me to break up with her and say those hurtful things to her."
"What did he say to get you to do that?"
"When I was 15 I was dared to sleep with a girl named Ashley. She got pregnant and I ran away from her and the town"
" Okay, so?"
"So... David blackmailed me saying I do it or he will."
"My sister would have never cared about that."
"Well its too late. She got my note right?"
"Yeah saying you hate her."
"No not that one. The one I put in her pocket. It showed the code to the hate letter."
"What?"
"I never meant any of those words so I wrote a code so that she would understand."
" Oh my god. Let me call her."
^ring^ring^
"Hello?"
"Alex check your jacket pocket. Read the note."
Dear Alex,
I never meant any of those words. I promise. Here's the code
HATE-LOVE
UGLY-BEAUTIFUL
NEVER-ALWAYS
WORST-BEST
Please forgive me for this.
Love,
Jack
