the electronic letter (mevie//malvie)

XV

The moment the car wasn't in her line of sight anymore, she does it. She breaks down. She cries her heart out, regretting the fact that she hasn't told her. That Mal didn't even know before she left.

It didn't even bother her when it started to rain. When the water mixed with her tears began soaking her face.

She was crying so much she didn't even realize that Carlos had dragged her back inside and draped a towel around her. "What am I going to do now, guys?" She asks, her voice hoarse and trembling.

No one knew how to answer her. No one knew how to tell her to move on or that Mal was just a phone call away. Really, no one can tell her when she's at this state of mind.

They could only bring her some conforming silence and presence as she stares at a picture on the wall. As she stares at their picture on the wall.

She could easily follow her but she can't. They're done. Whatever they had in between their fake relationship was over. They said their "I love you's" but somehow it wasn't right.

Then she remembers what the fairy had told her before she left. Check her email. Check her email. Check her email.

She quickly takes out her phone, not even caring if weirded out looks were sent in her way. She scans over the useless ones until she came across Mal's. She hesitates on opening it but she did.

hey, e, it's mal.

there's really no other way of telling this. actually, there is but i'm too much of a coward to do it.

so i'm telling you here, because, hey, no one opens their emails these days. or please, at least, you don't open emails.

Evie furrows her eyebrows as she reads it, actually unaware of what was about to hit her.

it's funny how much time we've spent time together, i didn't know what i've been feeling. harry and i talked a little bit and he said something about falling in love is like discovering your favorite song, guess he's right.

She remembers that day. It was the day when they just got back from the Isle. She was laughing at something Gil said when she sees the purple haired fae, staring at her through the door.

i remember that time i heard this one song, and i knew that shit existed in my playlist but one day, it was different. then i repeated it, over and over until i couldn't get enough of it. repeated it, on and on until i fell in love with the beat, the rythm, the vocals, the lyrics.

Tears cloud her vision once more and she quickly wipes them away, reading more of Mal's email as everyone else watched her patiently. Waiting for her to talk. Waiting for her to actually say something.

then i saw you. i know this started off as a little thing for the sake of everyone, but right now, i'm thinking of you and i know that i'm utterly, completely, wickedly in love with you.

That's when her heart shatters and gets fixed all at once. She stares at her phone, longer than intended, still not believing any of the words Mal had said. That was all she needed to know.

i admit, i'm taking some time before i even admit it but, hOly fUCk, you caught me, you always did, i was in love with you, always was and probably always will. i just realized it now.

And it's stupid because she didn't know soon enough. That she didn't ask her soon enough. That maybe if she did, Mal would still be here.

anyways, if you ever read this and you actually have feelings for me, i'd like to take you out on a date some time, for real, though.
