how we met⇄ matt espinosa

twenty three: dear andrea

⇄Matthew

"...hate, Andrea" she finally said ending her letter.

"Well, uh that was something." Candace coughed.

"Your turn Matthew." Candace said.

I nodded and picked up my piece of paper.

'Dear Andrea,

I know you hate me, but I don't hate you. In fact, I love you. Now before you run off (because I'm pretty sure your more likely going to because I said "I love you"), Yes I love you, no I'm not in love with you. See? There's a difference!

I was afraid you might say in your letter that I wasn't thankful, but truth be told, I am thankful. And I even mentioned how thankful I was honestly.

If you don't remember how thankful I was do you remember opening night? Just about a month ago? Do you remember what happened before the curtains went up? Because I sure as hell remember.

I know that you feel like no one cares about you, and no one loves you (which is why you act like a total badass, and to be honest you actually are kind of a badass, and it kind of scares me sometimes), but I love you, and I care about you.

I guess I know why you are a badass. You think your mom hates you, and your dad is in jail. Your mom doesn't hate you Andrea. In fact, she's probably fucking proud of you. You were on broadway! Why wouldn't she be proud? Why would you think she hates you? Sure you may irresponsible sometimes, but there's always this thing called: forgive and forget.

I know you get sensitive when someone brings up your dad, so I will try not to say too much. I get why you wouldn't try contacting him, or can't even send him a letter, I get it, but one day we are all going to die, and won't you regret it not sending him one freaking letter? Or even saying hello to him?

One last thing, I just want to apologize for what happened a couple days ago, and for previous mistakes I have made in the past. I truly am sorry.

I love you.

Love, Matthew.'

I finished off my letter and waited for a reaction from Andrea.

She quickly hugged me and whispered in my ear, "I love you too."

Short chapter, but awh so cute!

Heads up on the next chapter. It's going to be a little emotional. (You may cry a little ?????!)
