Letters to Rudy [The Book Thief Fanfiction]

third letter.

Dear Saukerl,

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry about me freaking out yesterday on why you went out the whole day with that crap, I meant, Rachel. I was jealous because I admit, I'm not used to this kind of treatment and I now realize that you needed some time without me and it was considered freedom. I guess I was selfish, wasn't I?

But what's wrong with being selfish towards you?

I know this sounds stupid, but I am terribly sorry. I never knew that you were playing soccer with your new group of friends, including Rachel. And I never knew that she already have a boyfriend. I'm sorry that I didn't notice you approaching me and telling me we should go somewhere, I was really attached with the book I'm reading that I didn't even notice you. The book was interesting, and it was entitled The Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë. I'm almost done with this book, see?

I have interrupted my reading by writing you this letter in my notebook, I quite enjoyed it. I loved how my fine pen writes finely on the paper.

But well, thank you for being so understanding and thoughtful about this. Thank you for not being mad at me and thank you that you didn't loved another girl. I know we aren't couples yet, but we do have this mutual feelings, right?

Alright then, I'll make this up to you as much as you make this up to me. I'm going to have equal time with books and you. You always knew I loved books, and I have been spending time with books than you. Don't worry, I'll try. I love books as much as you.

But do know that now, I love you over anything else in the world.

I'll write again if I want to.

Your Saumench,

Liesel
