The Definition Of Humanity

But Maybe You Do

The girl stood there for a minute after the door was closed. She looked down at the letter in her hand as she felt a tear slowly roll down her cheek. She hastily wiped it away and left, turning away from the closed door and walking down to the elevator. There was something about the stranger in the doorway that bothered her. Something about her seemed familiar. Making her way out of the building, she opened her car door and sat in the driver's seat. Realisation struck her as she sat behind the wheel in the car park. The person that had opened the door was Katherine. She had changed a bit, but those deep green eyes were still the same. Her round face and soft voice were still the same as they had been in high school. But Katherine hadn't recognised her, and that broke her heart. The girl looked down at the letter in her pocket and opened the car door. She ran up the stairs, desperate (...). Standing back in front of the wood door, Juliette decided that she couldn't face Katherine again. Instead, she slipped the letter under the door. She hesitated before knocking again and ran away. Running down a few flights of stairs before she allowed herself to stop and rest against the wall. She closed her eyes as she caught her breath, allowing her heart to slow down as she realised what she had done. Juliette jumped up and sprinted down the rest of the stairs and back to her car. Her mind was reeling as she sat behind the wheel. She stared at her phone, willing for it to start ringing as Katherines contact popped up. After a few minutes of nothing, Juliette sighed and started the car, think of what she had written in the letter

Dear Katherine,

I'm sorry that I couldn't keep in touch after high school. I'm sorry for the way I acted when we were seniors, how I treated you like you were nothing to me.

It was all a lie. You were my everything and I loved you so much. I still do.

I was wrong to treat you so badly when you meant so much, I didn't know how to act around you and I still don't know why. I'm sorry Kathy, you were my world, and I've never felt the way I did with you with anyone else.

Please take me back Kathy, I don't know what to do without you, I love you so much

Juliette <3
