✓ ALWAYS FOREVER・georgenotfound: CURRENTLY EDITING

𝐈𝐕; letter

i'd walk out of the shower,

attempting to not slip on the water-filled tile

i'd wrap a towel around my body and walk out of the bathroom.

DING!

i'd flinch at the sound of the not to mention very loud doorbell, looking back at an envelope fall through the mail-slip

i'd walk over to the envelope, picking it up and walking over to my desk

i'd place the envelope on my desk and go to get dressed.

i'd put a beige cardigan and black acid-washed jeans, walking back over to my desk and sitting down.

i'd open the envelope, taking out the letter that had been placed inside of it

i'd unravel the letter, revealing the words

'Dear Heather Atkins, 

i'm sorry for being such a disappointment to you.

i remember seeing you lay in your bed at 2am, 

rethinking your choices with kyle.'

i'd stop reading there.

kyle..

the baggage would sit right on my lap as i'd listen to the automated voice

 i had remembered solely because i had never stopped traveling away from everything

but ever since i was with kyle, i stayed. i stayed for him.

i dont know if i'd ever decide to return for him.

why would i?

the bruise he gave me from last night would sit clean on my face.

ironic.

i didnt rethink my decision. i would never rethink anything i was gonna do.

i had planned to runaway ever since the first time he hurt me.

i was never coming back. 

never in a million years.

my hands would tremble as i'd look back down at the note.

'i never should have left you there to hurt.

i knew what he was doing.

i never reported anything, 

and i regret it so much.

although he is gone now, 

there nothing i could do about it anyways.

i was as scared of him as you were.

im sorry for not being there, heather. 

im sorry for everything.

-sincerely, tyler.

no.

no.

no.

this cant be happening.

this cant be him.

he ran away years ago.

just like i did.
