Letters

Chapter 3

The afternoon sky and breeze blew against my windows. It was a very nice day out today. I pondered around my room. The thought of Yves and the current situation stuck to my head. It made me worry since not a lot of time was left until she finally moves away forever. I then decide to take a look out my window, to admire the view and to relieve my stress and worries. I scanned the area from top to bottom until something caught my attention. A few large truck sat in the parking lot, with a few people carrying furniture and other household items outside of Yves' building. My mood was completely destroyed at that point. She really is gonna move out, and time is running out. I anxiously sat in my room and looked down at my desk. I then had the sudden urge to write another letter. So I open a random notebook on my desk then rip out a blank page. I opened my desk drawer and pulled out my best pencil. I then sat and thought. I had to think quick about writing the letter and ensuring it isn't too cheesy or too awkward for her. I begin writing on the top of the paper and just wrote what came to mind.
After an hour or so, I finally finished. I reread the letter over and over just to make sure it was perfect, and that all of the grammar and sentences weren't off. I even took time to decorate it a bit just for her. I read it one last time just to be sure.
"Yves,
Making friends with you was one of the best choices I've ever made. You turned out to be one of the nicest people that I know and now we're here, becoming closer with each other. It makes me feel sad that you'll be moving away soon, but I wanted to write this just for you, one last letter before you leave. I've also always had a thought that has been circulating through my head. All this time being friends, I've always had a huge crush on you, since the beginning. Oh man this letter is already getting corny, but yeah, this is coming from the bottom of my heart. I've always liked you since the beginning and I just love everything about you. I love our walks to school together, and the times we have during our classes, or during lunch. I really should've made a move earlier, but I was too scared. Now here I am writing this. Well, I hope you enjoy you're new life in you're new home and new city, I will truly miss you. I'm sorry for not saying any of this in person. Sincerely, y/n
It was finally Sunday, and my anxiousness raised to a high level. I have never hung out with Yves outside of school, so this would be the first time. I quickly grabbed my phone and gave her a text. "So what time are we hanging?" The text read. I then awaited for a response. It was a bit early in the morning but I decided to take the letter to her door. So I folded the paper and kept it as crisp as I can. I throw on proper clothes and my shoes, then proceed to walk out of my door. I make it outside and the early morning weather was chilly, but calm. I walk over to Yves' building, and climb up the stairs. I eventually made it to her apartment, but then, I noticed a piece of paper was taped on her door. I went over to examine it and it was folded up, it had my name written on it. I gently took the paper and unfolded it. It had a few spots of water damage on it. My hands shook as I began to read it.
"Y/n
I'm very sorry for not texting you over the weekend, me and my family were very busy moving stuff all day. We decided to move earlier than the expected date we scheduled for next week. It was very sudden and I didn't see it coming. So I'm sorry we couldn't hang out today, I was really looking forward to it and I was excited but all of the last minute changes just smacked me in the face. It definitely made me feel down instantly. I'm truly gonna miss you after this. This building, the school, my friends, especially you, are all special to me. This city will be nothing more than just memories to think of in the future. I will never forget the times we hung out, our walks to school every morning, and just any moment we had together. I will always cherish those memories. I asked Jinsoul to watch over you while I'm gone, and to make sure you're doing fine. She'll be your guardian for me. Well, I'll stop here for now, I've been up all night writing this letter for you. I'll still keep in touch with you and I'll write to you often, thanks to you hehe. Goodbye for now, I love you. Sincerely, Yves
After reading the last sentence, I couldn't do anything but break down. I kept rereading the last three words at the end; "I love you." I felt a stream of tears rolling down, as it landed on the paper. I then look at the folded letter that I  wrote for her. I gripped it tight as I began to think of all the times we spent together, and then finally, the last time we were together. I couldn't take all of this at once. I now feel that all of my chances with her, are forever gone.
