missing you

I set the box I had just pulled out of the closet on the floor next to another box. I had decided that it would be a good time to finally clean out this crowded space and maybe get rid of some things. I slowly took the lid of one of the plastic boxes and stared at the junk inside.

It was filled with old binders and notebooks, things I had no use for but I just couldn't part with. I took one of the binders out and opened it. It was just an old school one, a few assignments and papers were still shoved in the plastic pocket. I flipped through the dividers, almost laughing at the memories this brought back.

Notes between friends that had been scribbled down and doodles while being bored in what appeared to be geography class.

As I turned another tab, a piece of paper slipped out of the binder and fell to the floor in front of my feet. I quickly bent down to grab it and unfold the small note.

(y/n),

It started.

I was sitting in class thinking about you. You really have made my days brighter and I can't tell you enough how much you mean to me. I can't see myself without you. I'm sorry if this is cheesy but I thought it'd be cuter if I wrote it in a note and left it in your locker than just sending you a text. I hope I wasn't wrong. Meet me by the tennis courts after 7th period, I just wanna see you.

- Shawn

I sighed sadly. I did meet him that day, and sitting outside talking to him was amazing. I just never knew how soon it would end. Neither of us would've guessed he wouldn't have made it home.
It started raining while we were talking and had to go back inside. It ended up raining all night.

Shawn drove himself home, though that's not where he ended up.

I folded the note back up and held it tightly for a moment. The accident was a few years ago but it was still fresh in my mind. The sound of my heart beat in my ears when his mom called me from the hospital. The smell of wet grass when I attended his funeral. The feeling of the last embrace him and I shared.

A tear fell down my cheek and I quickly wiped it away. I had shed so many tears over this event already, I didn't want to cry anymore.

I tucked the note back into the binder and placed it back in the box before lifting the box back onto the shelf in my closet. I could clean it another day.

Hello my loves! I know I haven't updated in so long, writers block is truly terrible. I've been getting back into a lot of things I used to love so much and I'm so happy about it.

On that note, my other imagined book is almost at 1 million reads, I can't even comprehend that. It's so wild to think about how many people have read my short stories over a crush on a boy that'll never know me.

Anyways, I'm planning a new book and I don't have a title for it yet but I'll let you all know when it's published so stay tuned for that. I love you all so very much and I'll talk to y'all later!

Byeeeeee!!
